Italy: Youth protest again: "Italy is a country for the elderly"
For the third weekend in a row, students are taking to the streets in Italy. They are protesting against defence spending, crumbling schools and a system that offers them no future.
Hundreds of Italian students, mainly in Rome, Turin, Milan, Bologna, Florence and Naples, took part in protests against the government, high living costs and wars. The protests, which are part of a wider European movement, were sparked by issues such as poor school conditions, neglect of youth concerns and high energy prices. According to estimates, over 100,000 people participated in the protests across Italy.
The demonstrations were largely peaceful, with protesters calling for more spending on education and healthcare, and an end to the government's focus on military spending.
