Grassroots unions, social centers, but also port workers and the unprecedented bond between baby Maranza and high school students. The galaxy of organized violence acquires new elements. And the security apparatus is on alert: there is the risk of a revival of the season of the years of lead
«There are a few hundred elements that express an irreducible aggression with an ideological substratum that points to violence»and could result in armed strugglereveals a source from our internal intelligence. The cause pro Pal he mobilized the entire galaxy of the far left, from grassroots unions to social centers to anarchists, but the real, alarming news “is the lowering of the age threshold for engagement with children as young as 13-14 years old, who are subjected to the fascination with violence on social media, or with video games, as a form of rebellion against the system”. Not just the so-called Islamic maranzaoften second generation Italian citizens, but also high school students “who in Milan, in the attack on the central station, surprised the disorder professionals by their spontaneous action” continues the source. “Cannon fodder”, yes, but the intelligence, anti-terrorism and police forces are trying to understand whether there is a risk of new Years of Lead: «There is always the ambition of some fringes to resurrect the armed struggle, the revolutionary initiative. There are aspirations to return to the P 38, but it is difficult for them to take root. Some terrorist reality may arise, but as of now we don’t see mass developments like in the Seventies.”
The map of the antagonist galaxy
Panorama is able, after having consulted many professionals, to outline a extremist galaxy map who rides the pro Pal protest and wants to unleash a anti-government hot autumnalso focusing on other themes, such as rearm. «Our goal is not to wage a symbolic struggle, but a material struggle. We know that conflict is a tool (…) because the aim is revolution. In short (…) the level of conflict must be increased to obtain results.” The alarming intervention is from a member of the Lambretta social center of Milan, during the national assembly in Rome of the antagonists, secretly filmed at the end of September by Forehand and backhand.
Giovanni Giacalonea terrorism expert who coordinated a report on Italy for the American think tank Washington Outsider Centeris convinced that «the far left groups aim at the subversion of the democratic order and have been announcing it candidly for some time». On the sites of Committee to support the communist resistance and of New Italian Communist Party he declares in black and white that he “wants to make the country ungovernable” and “replace the Meloni executive with a popular bloc government”.
Trainings with a limited following, but in the dossier that will be published by the US study center, read in preview by Panoramain first place the Autonomous collective of port workers of Genoa (Calp)founded in October 2011 within the CGIL and then split off years later. THE Genoese camalli they also received solidarity from Instagram via Instagram Rojavathe Kurdish autonomous zone in eastern Syria. Below is a photo of armed and masked men from the group Tikko (Communist Party of Türkiye / Marxist-Leninist) reads: «Fight in the ports against arms trafficking and the imperialist order of Israel in Palestine. You are part of the anti-fascist front in Italy and above all in your city, Genoa, which has a glorious history of liberation.”
From dock workers to student collectives
The Calp played a key role in the pro-PAL mobilization, provoked by the flywheel of Flotilla. Jose Novoi is one of the leaders who set sail from Genoa. They often appear in camouflage waving Russian flags and symbols like the Z of the invasion of Ukraine with the colors of St. George. The dock workers of Genoa “march” alongside theBasic trade union union (USB)which since the massacre of October 7th has mobilized the pro-Pal squares. The report highlights: «The USB clearly shares anti-American, anti-Israeli and anti-NATO positions and calls for Italy’s exit from the Atlantic Alliance but has never shared anti-Russian or anti-Chinese content».
In July this year they organized a mobilization in Tuscany against the American base of Camp Derbyin response to the US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites.
The next workhorse of the warm autumn, shared by the leader of the CGIL, Maurizio Landiniis the stop at Rearm-EU. The appetizer was the assault of the antagonists on the headquarters of Leonardo in Turin. Other far-left groups that ride the pro-PAL demonstrations are the Communist Network (RdC) And Power to the people.
The leader of the Network is Luciano Vasapolloprofessor of economics at the Sapienza University of Rome, immortalized with Nicolas Maduroand who declared that the regime in Venezuela “is a hope, not a threat.” The militants of Power to the People they march in pro-Pal demonstrations with “from the river to the sea” t-shirts, supporting the campaign for the liberation of Yaeesh Ananalleged affiliate of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades on trial in L’Aquila for terrorism.
The risk of a return to violence
Dozens of signs with his face stood out in the large procession in Rome on 4 October, where the banner also appeared «October 7 Palestinian Resistance Day». For Giacalone it cannot be ruled out that we will return to Seventies style violencealthough updated to today’s dynamics: «When trade union leaders and political representatives call for social revolt, nothing else can be expected».
«There is a certain fascination for the symbol of Red Brigades“, observes a security source: “The rap-trap collective P38 aims to clear the five-pointed star through customs.” The first self-produced album is in fact titled New Brass.
The new rebel galaxy
They are part of the galaxy that wants a warm autumn social centres, anarchists, student organisations And Palestinian groups. The veterans are the Turin antagonists of Askatasunaborn from the protests No Tabwith activists who joined the Kurdish armed struggle in North-East Syria. In Milan the social center stands out Lambretta and the collective Zam (Milan autonomous area).
The antagonists of the North-East, however, concentrated on the assault on the port of 22 September Marghera. «From Bologna to Rome everyone mobilized: anarchists, social centers, Marxist-Leninists, espousing the pro-PAL cause», explains an anti-terrorism source.
On the student front they are very active Alternative student opposition (OSA) And Changing Course. In September 2024, their representatives were at Caracas at the World Congress against Fascism, with the viaticum of Vasapollo. In the dossier of the Washington study center their flags appear in the clashes of Milan of 16 and 22 September.
Social networks and radicalization
At the end of September, in the occupied rectorate ofUniversity of Genoaa book mentioning it was presented Lenin And Renato Curcio: «It is not the vote that decides the conquest of power, it is not with a ballot that one conquers freedom». Changing Course is the collective that, after the assassination of Charlie Kirkpublished a photo of himself upside down on social media with the writing «-1 (…) Today is a less dark day».
In this extremist soup lo is gaining ground customs clearance on October 7th: no longer a massacre attack by Hamas terrorists, but an “act of resistance”.
The Palestinian groups are the next piece of the revolutionary puzzle. Maya Issa she is the social “heroine” of Palestinian Students Movement. Homeland Security considers it less radical than Young Palestinians from Genoawhere the engineer preaches Mohammad Hannounalready sanctioned by the US as a “Hamas fund collector”.
The generational fuse
The most alarming news concerns i Islamic maranzalargely Italian minors of Maghreb originwho feel like “second-class citizens”. In Turin, the prefect Donato Cafagna he denounced that during the clashes with the pro-PAL «there was a leadership role on the part of antagonistic and anarchist subjects who involved students and young people of foreign origin».
School protests register a lowering of age and one spontaneous radicalization. Autonomous and youthful realities, amplified by Instagram and TikTokact as the emotional and media detonator of a movement that is spiraling out of control.
The bad teacher
The bad teacher pro Pal is Francesca Albaneseincreasingly impatient with the role of UN rapporteur on the occupied territories. On October 1st he attended the conference “Gaza. The humiliation of law” Of Democratic judiciary And Area in the great hall of the Palace of Justice in Milan.
«I find an Italy where there is a lack of profound understanding of the Constitution» he declared, to applause, adding: «It is not just the return of the right, but of fascist attitudes. And I also see it from how the police behave with the population, with those who protest.”
