Italy's big three trade unions CGIL,
CISL and UIL are discussing a joint initiative to support
President Sergio Mattarella after criticism of his alleged
scotching a populist government by refusing an anti-euro
minister, CISL chief Annamrai Furlan said Tuesday. "We will
carefully assess with our friends in the CGIL and UIL what union
initiatives to undertake to reaffirms our sympathy and
solidarity with the president, protecting his role and the so
important institutional function he represents for all
Italians," she said. The anti-establishment 5-Star Movement
(M5S) went as far as asking for Mattarella's impeachment,
although it may not continue with that bid. However, there will
be mass protests by the M5S and the anti-migrant Euroskeptic
League on June 2, Republic Day.
