Adnkronos (Adnkronos) –
A second demonstration by 'Italia in Piazza' returns to Milan today, Saturday, November 14th. This movement, against the high cost of living and rearmament, organized the march on October 17th, which later degenerated into clashes and devastation in the city center.
The meeting is at 14 pm in Piazza Leonardo Da Vinci, in the Città Studi district.
"Wars, poverty, repression, little hope, a declining future, and the waste of funds for weapons are not problems to be overlooked. If things don't change, we will all act accordingly," reads the manifesto published on social media by 'Italia in Piazza' and shared by the Palestinians in Italy Association, which will be present with its own section at the demonstration, which is also being joined by student groups, with the slogan "Oust the Meloni government."
From Piazza Leonardo Da Vinci, protesters are expected to march along Via Spinoza, Viale Gran Sasso, then Piazzale Loreto and the outer ring road to Piazzale Maciachini, before turning onto Via Farini and reaching the Monumental Cemetery, their final destination. The route, which is over five kilometers long, is expected to avoid Milan's city center, the site of the devastation of October 17th and 18th.
Since then, the city's law enforcement presence, aided by the five hundred Folgore soldiers sent to support it, has been significantly strengthened, especially over the weekend, with sensitive areas—such as downtown squares and train stations—under surveillance. The security decree passed by the government after last month's riots also expanded the scope for preventive arrests. "We will not be overwhelmed by security decrees created solely to instill fear. We will not accept unjust laws that impoverish those who express their legitimate dissent. This cowardly repression will not stop us: on the contrary, it shows us how you want us to be slaves and subjects of abhorrent decisions. We are not in agreement at all, and we will use this violence of yours as the most powerful fuel to fuel our revolts," reads the manifesto published by Italia in Piazza on social media.
