DW.com. Tens of thousands of students and workers marched across Italy on Friday, demanding more education funding and relief from rising living costs.
The rallies followed weeks of student tent camps and school occupations, with a general strike bringing workers into the streets alongside them.
Demonstrations took place in dozens of cities, including Rome, Milan, Turin, Bologna, Genoa and Naples. Police were deployed in large numbers after earlier protests descended into rioting.
Demonstrators criticized Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing government over low wages, rising fuel prices and military spending. Students demanded more money for schools and universities.
