Italy is preparing for a turbulent fall, following a sudden increase in inflation caused by energy prices, students, truck drivers and farmers coming out of the street in the run-up to next year's elections. Several disparate protest initiatives, some inspired by the movements in France and Spain, are united in their opposition to the extreme right-wing government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, writes RFI.
Lyceans, students and Italian professors demonstrated on Friday, demanding better conditions of study and work. This, on the eve of a national strike on 17 October in their country, for which many Italian teenagers called on the social network to "do as in France".
As in France, students are now on the streets in Italy. Not everywhere it remains peaceful. The protest is also directed against plans of the Prime Minister Meloni's government.
