Italian Parliamentarian Press Conference

A press conference to press governments and parties, exposing systemic complicity in genocide while building a cross-sector alliance of workers, students and social movements. A political pressure strategy targeting institutional betrayal through coordinated protests, boycotts and mass mobilization — transforming parliamentary accountability into street-level resistance against complicity and for justice.
