Ieri gli attivisti di Rete di Lilliput e gli 'amici della nonviolenza' hanno attuato un blocco telefonico degli uffici del Comune di Vicenza come azione simbolica di pressione in opposizione alla costruzione della nuova base militare dal Molin. Mentre i telefoni del Comune rimanevano intasati per le telefonate dei 'No dal Molin', ai piedi del Comune di Vicenza è andata in scena la drammatizzazione teatrale che ha coinvolto i passanti vicentini. L'invito a ripetere l'azione di blocco telefonico è per ogni prossimo lunedì dalle ore 9 alle ore 12 fino a ripensamento della decisione. E, nonostante l'opposizione del Comune, l'associazione "Beati i costruttori di pace" ha celebrato a Vicenza le giornate a ricordo delle vittime di Hiroshima e Nagasaki. Dal 6 al 16 di settembre, inoltre, si svolgerà la "Settimana di mobilitazione" nei pressi Presidio Permanente nei pressi Presidio Permanente a Caldogno che potrà ospitare centinaia di persone.
