A large demonstration took place in the Italian capital, Rome, involving labor unions and students protesting against increased military spending and rising living costs. The march started from Termini Station heading towards the Imperial Forum and the Colosseum, with an
expected participation of around 20,000 people. Protesters carried banners demanding cuts in arms budgets, salary increases, and greater investment in the education sector. Heightened security measures were implemented around government buildings following clashes during a similar protest last weekend. The
protests spread to over fifty cities across Italy, coinciding with similar movements in France and Albania, where demonstrators call for improved education conditions, reduced costs, and better job opportunities.
