A surprising protest action

An unexpected protest action took place in front of the Ministry of Justice in Rome, organized by the collective Extinction rebellion. About fifty protesters gave life to a lively and colorful event, throwing colored powders into the air, creating an atmosphere of celebration and rebellion. This symbolic gesture was a clear signal of dissent against the recent measures introduced by the government with the Dl Safety.

The message of the protest

During the demonstration, participants unfurled a banner with the words “In the fascist darkness the colors of justice”, highlighting their disagreement with government policies that, according to them, threaten civil rights and social justice. The choice to use colored powders was not accidental: it represents a strong contrast with the message of repression perceived by the new laws, bringing a message of hope and change.

A moment of resistance

A particularly significant moment of the protest was when a protester climbed onto the gate of the ministry, attempting to hang a flag with the symbol of Extinction Rebellion. This act of courage attracted the attention of passers-by and the media, underlining the collective's determination to make their voices heard. Despite attempts by the police to disperse the protesters, they chose to sit on the ground, continuing to sing, beat drums and shout protest slogans.

The context of the protests

Extinction Rebellion's actions are part of a broader context of social mobilization against government policies perceived as oppressive. Dl Safety, in fact, has been criticized by several groups, who consider it an attack on fundamental rights and freedom of expression. The demonstration in Rome is only the latest in a series of events that aim to raise public awareness on these crucial issues.
