Exercises in Sardinia, anti-militarists take to the streets on May 12 in Cagliari

In the face of the many military exercises that follow one another in the various polygons and military bases of Sardinia, which has become, as every year, the scene of simulated wars with the participation of thousands of NATO and allied soldiers, the anti-militarists take to the streets again with a demonstration on the key day of the Noble Jump 2023, held at Capo Teulada, in the south-west of the island.

The appointment is set in Cagliari, for 7 pm, in Piazza Marghinotti, not far from the military headquarters of the Army in Sardinia.

"NATO flexes its muscles on our land with Open Sea, Noble Jump, Joint Stars and 6,000 soldiers - reads the Sardinnia Aresti-Controlebasi leaflet that anticipates the garrison - Roads blocked to let tanks pass. The port full of ships An ongoing war: on May 12, NATO will test all its weapons on our land to demonstrate its strength. We are not there", they write, reiterating the mobilization for June 2 "against the military occupation of Sardinia".

"Sardinia is at war but not because it has entered it but because it is the war that has entered Sardinia - urges in a note Bustianu Cumpostu, leader of the independence activists of Sardigna Natzione Indipendentzia - the war between imperialisms, of those who invade and annex territories has invaded the land of the Sardinian people with warships, airplanes, helicopters, tanks and with all the most destructive military armaments.Being a theater of war is no longer tolerable, it is incompatible with our health, our economy, our self-esteem, with the right of sovereignty and with the generational duty to protect our land to pass it livable to future generations".
