A passenger airliner. File photoROME, Mar 15Workers at the airport in Pisa, Italy, said they refused to load boxes of weapons and ammunition that were destined for Ukraine under the guise of humanitarian cargo onto planes. According to the city branch of a major trade union, USB, a number of workers Galileo Galilei Civil Airport was informed that flights that depart from the cargo terminal must be filled with provisions, medicines and all other payloads for Ukraine.
"But this is not so! As they were under the plane, the loaders were confronted with crates full of weapons of various types, ammunition and explosives. A bitter and terrible surprise, confirming the atmosphere of war into which the government of (Mario) Draghi is dragging us. The workers, as noted, refused to load the batch onto transport aircraft.
It is assumed that these aircraft will go to US and NATO bases in Poland, from where the cargo is transferred to Ukraine. In this regard, USB announced a rally on Saturday in front of the Pisa airport, calling «a real falsification» humanitarian «cover» to fuel the fighting in Ukraine. The union demanded an immediate halt to such flights, and urged other employees to continue refusing to upload military materials to aircraft.
