Varese - Ultima Generazione protests against Carrefour in Varese. “Accomplices of genocide” - Varese Laghi - Varese News

Action also took place in Varese , as part of the campaign Il Giusto Prezzo di Ultima Generazione : in front of the Carrefour supermarket in Varese : while a person was filming, an activist from the group gave a short speech in which he denounced «Carrefour's complicity with the genocide in Palestine» and invited the people present to boycott large-scale distribution (GDO) .

The goal is clear: to collect at least 100,000 signatures by October 11 , to launch a national boycott and produce visible economic pressure. This action is part of a series of actions that have taken place in various Italian cities, L'Aquila, Foligno, Sassari, Bologna, Turin, Rome. « In Rome, four people were prevented from entering an Esselunga. In other cities, Digos personnel were present and carried out identification and checks». The monitoring is denounced as a hostile act: «A worrying pressure against totally peaceful and nonviolent demonstrations. In the aftermath of the approval of the Security Decree, are they already thinking of new ways to criminalize forms of protest?»

Carrefour is accused of being complicit in what is happening in Palestine by virtue of "economic relations with Israeli companies involved in the occupation of the Palestinian territories ", that is, those territories which formally still belong to Egypt, Jordan and Syria, have been under military occupation since 1967, should become a Palestinian state ( which in the meantime is being recognised by more and more countries ) but are also being eroded by illegal settlements, the colonies.

Ultima generazione joins the economic boycott campaign called BDS. «Since 2022, the French multinational has started a franchise with the Israeli company Electra Consumer Products and its subsidiary Yenon Bitan, both active in illegal Israeli settlements. On the shelves of Yenon Biten stores, in illegally occupied territories, you can find Carrefour products; "moreover - the BDS movement recalls - the Carrefour Group and its local subsidiaries openly support the Israeli occupation army in the massacre that is taking place in Gaza, delivering food rations to its soldiers. This constitutes logistical support for the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza» .
