Rome, 22/06/2019. Today, more than 15,000 people, including families and children, attended the demonstration called "22 giugno Corteo per una città aperta, solidale e contro gli sgomberi: Roma non si chiude" (June 22, March for an open city, solidarity and against evictions: Rome cannot be shut down, 1.). The peaceful and colourful march was held from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II to Via dei Fori Imperiali in central Rome. The demonstration was called to protest against the planned evictions of social centres and housing occupations linked to the endless Rome's 'housing crisis’ and regeneration plans. The march was also called in support of Solidarity and Social Justice, against the rising of fascism, inequalities, social exclusion, racism, sexism, intolerance, "authoritarian intimidations", and against the policies of the coalition Government League – Five Star Movement, especially the so-called "Decreti Salvini / Decreti Sicurezza" (The first Decree is now Law of the Italian Republic, Legge 1° Dicembre 2018, n. 132, http://bit.do/eE7uo; Decree Law n. 53, 14 June 2019, http://bit.do/eV3iZ), made by the Interior Minister Matteo Salvini (League - Lega, http://bit.do/eV3EP & http://bit.do/eE7Ey), accused by protesters to be racist and restrictive of civil liberties. Last but not least, the march was held to show support and solidarity with migrants, refugees, Rom and Sinti Communities, minorities, with the NGOs trying to work and save lives in the Mediterranean, and to make heard the voices of the people who have paid the crisis with the rise of exploitation, discriminations, unemployment.<br /> <br /> Footnotes and Links:<br /> 1. http://bit.do/eV3jA
