Lepore disappears: "There were two squares". And Pd choc thanks him: "Don't shift the spotlight on the clashes".

The article discusses the aftermath of violent clashes in Bologna following a protest organized by Mayor Matteo Lepore. The Democratic Party (Pd) and Lepore himself attempt to distance themselves from the violence, attributing responsibility to 'extreme leftist groups' while praising the peaceful gathering in support of the family of Abderrahim Fakim, who died during police custody. The article frames the violence as an intentional act against the state of law and criticizes those who respond to violence with violence. It also highlights the Pd's gratitude toward Lepore for organizing the demonstration, contrasting him with the 'right wing' which is portrayed as divisive. The piece suggests that the protests, particularly those led by 'social centers,' are a known issue in Bologna.

Venice, assault of social centers against the US Ambassador: clashes in front of the maxi yacht

During a protest in Venice against the arrival of U.S. ambassador Tilman J. Fertitta, around 300 activists attempted to break through police lines near Riva dei Sette Martiri. The demonstration, organized by social centers and local associations, led to clashes with law enforcement after Fertitta arrived in Venice aboard his $450 million yacht, 'Boardwalk.' Police deployed barriers and anti-riot gear to manage the situation, which escalated into physical confrontations involving pushers, insults, and smoke bombs. Despite the unrest, no injuries were reported, and the protesters eventually dispersed after being aided by carabinieri. The event took place during the Redentore Festival, highlighting tensions over foreign influence in Italian cities.
