Around 300 people marched in front of the Rwm Italia plant in Domusnovas, on the fifth anniversary of the ruling by the Council of State that declared the expansion of the factory illegitimate .
The march, led by activists and representatives of peace movements who have been calling for the factory's redevelopment for years, covered about a kilometer, stopping a few hundred meters from the company gates. At the heart of the protest was a demand for compliance with the ruling and opposition to the production of weapons destined for Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries engaged in international conflicts .
Davide Fadda, representative of the Permanent Presidium of the Sardinian People, emphasized the significance of the anniversary during the presentations. "Five years have passed since the Council of State's ruling that all the work carried out by this multinational was illegal. Therefore , in a democratic country, abuses are abolished ," Fadda stated, denouncing what he considers a contradiction between Italian law and the continued operation of the plant.
After the speeches, some protesters broke away from the march to reach the starting point and attempt to block the passage of workers leaving their 2:00 PM shift . There were also moments of tension with neighboring landowners , who were initially unable to reach their farms, and with law enforcement. The situation remained under control, however, and no disturbances were reported.
