        The main thing I’ve heard online is that it’s a pro-europe movement, particularly in support or rearming the EU, particularly in response to current US actions.

        I was speaking to an Italian guy at the pub on the weekend and he said that’s totally wrong and it’s just protesting general government corruption. I don’t know if he’s more credible than the internet, being Italian is a big plus but being a man at the pub means it’s likely wrong. Maybe there are protests for both.

          Your pub man is quite wrong. It’s an event in support of UE, more UE consolidation, support for Ukraine

          Indeed. See also for more context my earlier comment here.

          Italian here Your pub man is quite wrong. It’s an event in support of UE, more UE consolidation, support for Ukraine, and so on. Some government parties were part of the event, some others weren’t
