Strike and march in Rome, Usb 'there are 100 thousand of us in the square'

According to USB estimates, around 100 thousand demonstrators took to the streets in Rome on the occasion of the general strike. The procession of students and workers, which started from Piazza dei Cinquecento, in front of Termini station, then returned to the station area again after crossing the streets of the capital. The demonstration headed towards the Colosseum, where the mobilization will continue.

"But today we are not going home. We will occupy Via dei Fori Imperiali", announced the promoters of the protest from the truck leading the procession. The initiative of Usb and the Lotta per la casa coordination involves pitching tents in the street leading to the Colosseum. 'We stop in via dei Fori Imperiali, we will stay until Sunday for a national assembly'.
