The
protests of the dockers,
and in particular those of
Trieste
, shake Italy between the danger of blocking goods, a nightmare of the growth of infections and public order.
The demonstration of the dockers
against the compulsory Green pass in the workplace
, which saw the participation of 15 thousand people (a very significant number for a city of 200 thousand inhabitants), sanctioned
Trieste as the capital of the no vax protest
. more generally,
no green pass
.
It is no coincidence that the 3V (no vax) movement obtained the 4.59% vote of the Trieste citizens who went to the polls in the first round of the administrative elections.
According to a survey conducted by SWG between 6 and 8 October last, therefore before the mandatory green pass in the workplace and the related protests of the dockers, the majority of Italians are critical of anti-green pass events but almost 3 out of 10 understand the reasons. Therefore ANSA and DataMediaHub have deepened the sentiment of Italians on the protests of the dockers by analyzing the online conversations (social + online news + blog and forum) on the subject, with a focus on Facebook which is the most populated social platform and therefore most representative of the thoughts of the citizens.
Excluding Facebook, the citations relating to the dockers were more than 225 thousand, by over 14 thousand unique authors, whose contents involved (like + shares and comments) about 1.4 million people. The content that created the most involvement was that of
Peter Imanuelsen
, a Swedish journalist who in fact has the nick name
@PeterSweden
on Twitter
, who on the evening of the start of the protests tweeted the invitation to sympathize with the dockers. Invitation widely collected with almost 10 thousand retweets and about 17 thousand likes.
Clear prevalence of negative sentiment, of negative emotions linked to online verbalizations relating to dockers. A negativity that, however, is mainly not of opposition to the protests of the workers but of support for the protest and disdain for the management of public order considered excessive. This orientation is also confirmed by the specific analysis of conversations on Facebook relating to the issue. In fact, of the more than 20,000 posts, which generated 3.7 million interactions (like + reaction + comments and shares), two of the top three by level of involvement are in solidarity with the protests, with the support collection launched by a small newspaper. local, '
9MQ'
, which gets almost 22 thousand shares.
We know that the no green pass / no vax movement is particularly active on social networks and that what is favorable to their theses becomes viral due to the high number of shares, but it is still a signal that should not be underestimated.
