A multitude of people participated in the Napoli Pride 2024 parade.
A peaceful parade where not only the LGBTQ+ community was present but also families who brought their children.
Even many tourists from Austria rather than France preferred the Pride in Naples to those in Rome and Milan.
A real success.
All was quiet until we arrived in Piazza Dante for the show in which many artists participate, from Malika Ayane, godmother of the 2024 edition to Leo Gassmann.
When the representatives of the associations that organized the pride began the first whistles and roars of protest from a group of militants of the former Opg.
They wave Palestinian flags, protest for her, and lash out against the multinationals that finance Israel’s weapons.
They want theirs at Pride because and if they have to do it in a bad way even at a civil rights demonstration they will do it, especially if one of the hated multinationals is among the sponsors.
There are harsh tones among the militants who interrupt what is happening on the stage that will start the shows and the speeches until a representative of the militants invited by Ileana Capurro, president of the ATN association, is invited on stage to say his piece: “We are at the Pride, we have always fought for rights and we give voice to everyone. Don’t forget, we are with you”
The representative of the former OPG speaking from the stage says: “We don’t want to stop Pride but it will never be truly free if among its supporters there are multinationals that finance the genocide. We want our voice to be heard. Free Palestine!”
