Premier Matteo Renzi on Friday
slammed a public transport strike in Italy, which was called in
protest against government policies including a possible
military intervention in Libya.
"I believe citizens deserve better than to see small unions
striking against a non-existent war," Renzi told reporters after
an EU-Turkey migrant summit.
"This poses the big issue of union representation, which I
hope labor and Confindustria (industrialists' association) will
resolve, because either they do it or we do it for them".
"Those who strike against a Libya war are making fools of
the Italian people, because we are not at war in Libya. Perhaps
I didn't make myself clear: Italy is not waging war in Libya,
and those who go on strike on a Friday in the name of a war in
Libya are conning citizens".
