Starting tomorrow, our very own Yanis Varoufakis and Lorenzo Marsili will be putting on their motorcycle helmets and touring Italy.
Their mission? To meet activists and political figures across the Eurozone’s third largest economy and put forward DiEM25’s proposals for tackling Europe’s common problems. From inequality to the scandalous tax evasion of multinationals, from migration to climate change to ending the scourge of involuntary under employment.
As our members are currently debating how to deploy an electoral wing that would effectively take DiEM25’s Progressive Agenda for Europe to ballots across the Union, the electoral expression of our proposals need as many like-minded European democrats on board as possible. And it’s vital for us to strengthen our network of “rebel cities”: from Barcelona to Zagreb, from Warsaw to Naples.
The tour will see Yanis and Lorenzo share a stage with DiEM25 friends like Luigi de Magistris, Nicola Fratoianni and Giuliano Pisapia, among others. They’ll be stopping in Milan, Turin, Ferrara, Bologna, Naples and Palermo. And of course, meeting DiEM25 members wherever they go!
Tour stops are below.
