(ANSA) – LA SPEZIA, DEC 22 – ‘Blitz’ of Greenpeace protest in the port of La Spezia on the occasion of the return to the base of the ‘Marceglia’ frigate of the Navy. Some activists on rubber dinghies, kayaks and sailboats, ‘escorted’ the unit, returning from a series of exercises off the African coast, to the entrance of the naval base showing banners that read “Let’s defend the climate, not the fossil sources “. In this way, the environmental association wanted to “denounce the funding by the Italian government of military missions to protect Eni’s interests and fossil sources”, reports the Greenpeace press office. According to a dossier published earlier this month, “two thirds of the Italian budget spent in 2021 on military missions was allocated to operations connected with the defense of gas and oil, for a total of almost 800 million euros”.
The demonstration was coordinated by the Rainbow Warrior ship, which for a few days was sailing in the Ligurian Sea waiting to intercept the return to the base of the frigate. “Only by abandoning gas and oil, and truly focusing on renewables and energy efficiency, will our country be able to guarantee a green and peaceful future, mitigating the economic and environmental risks associated with global warming. Otherwise the ecological transition will continue to be just an empty slogan. political, the words of Luca Iacoboni, head of the Energy and Climate campaign of Greenpeace Italy. (ANSA).
