Jutarnji listIndependentProgressiveFactual 92Objective 753 days agoA large wave of student and youth protests erupted across major Italian cities on Friday as part of the 'Day Without Meloni' mobilization, targeting Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government. The demonstrations, marked by violent clashes with police, arrests, and property damage, were driven by opposition to the government's education policies, proposed quotas for foreign students, rising living costs, and military spending.
