The march against high living costs and rising bills starts in Turin

Over three hundred people left shortly after 4.30 pm in a procession from Piazza Castello, in Turin, for a new demonstration against the high cost of living, the high cost of petrol and the increase in bills. The procession was opened by a banner with the words 'No to high living costs, we want dignity, throw the money out'. The protest is organized by the Torino in Piazza movement, which has announced its intention to demonstrate every Saturday until answers arrive.

"We want to live with dignity, but we can't because the money goes to finance the genocide of the Palestinian people - they said into the microphone during the demonstration -. Today we pay the consequences with high costs of living and high prices on petrol". The demonstration also contests the use of resources for the "militarization of neighborhoods".

"For the general strike we have to block everything, because the Meloni government must tremble, because the Italian people will send it home", was said again into the microphone.

The announced route includes passing through a part of the centre, from Via Po, Via Rossini, Corso San Maurizio and Corso Regina Margherita, in the direction of Porta Palazzo and Rondò Rivella.

After the bridge over the Dora, the procession should continue towards the north-eastern part of the city, along Corso Regio Parco, Corso Palermo, Via Bologna and Corso Novara, up to the clearing of the Monumental cemetery, where the event is expected to end.
