AI-generated summary
The tent protest began on October 30 in Via dei Fori Imperiali to denounce high rents and economic precariousness.
The protest with tents in Rome has moved from the Imperial Forums to the Colosseum. The decision was taken in conjunction with the national assembly which was held today, as communicated by USB which then announced that on 12 December there will be a "national demonstration against high prices of living, the war economy, and the Meloni government". The Base Union also explained that going towards the national procession on the 12th there will be a continuous mobilization organized with the housing and student movements. Meanwhile, the Minister of the Interior Piantedosi, from the pages of Corriere della Sera, underlines: "It seems to me that sometimes there is a tendency to confuse, even instrumentally, the sacrosanct right to demonstrate with the claim to be able to carry out behavior that is violent or contrary to the law".
The tent protest
The protest with tents in the capital began on 30 October, in via dei Fori Imperiali. In a short time, a small village was created: around forty colored tents pitched on the asphalt, where just over fifty young people, students and workers spent their last nights. "Between high rents and precariousness, we suffer the high cost of living: the ruling class would like to send us to war, but our problems are real", explained the students who, immediately, said that the mobilization would continue at least until today.
