Why It Matters
The demonstration is part of the protests against inflation and the government's economic policies.
The march against the high cost of living and rearmament in Turin stopped in Corso San Maurizio, where the demonstrators set fire to some photocopies of bills to protest against the cost increases.
During the demonstration, which was attended by several thousand people, accusations were hurled at the government from the microphone, followed by chants calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
"They were unable to take measures, but we want to tell President Meloni to free Giorgetti, to free him because the money no longer exists in Italy. They went to the government, they deluded us that they would give us more dignity. The big multinationals now have the money. In Italy we no longer have any money. So we want to say that we don't accept these bills, these increases. And so we set fire to these bills all together. We destroy them. Meloni resigns! Meloni resigns!", was said into the microphone before the photocopies were burned.
Among the chants sung in the square were "J'ai deux passions, La fanfare, la révolution" which went viral in France during the protests.
