The protest against Askatasuna disrupts the left
A chaotic morning at the Livorno city council was triggered by a debate over recent violent protests supporting the evacuated social center Askatasuna in Turin.
This morning, the Livorno city council experienced significant turmoil during a discussion regarding the recent violent protests in Turin that were sparked by groups supporting the evacuated social center Askatasuna. These protests not only caused chaos in the city but also resulted in injuries to police officers. The debate intensified when a minority representative, Alessandro Perini from the Fratelli d'Italia, made remarks critical of social centers, claiming they serve as operational bases for violence and warning that the mayor's dialogue with such groups has a criminogenic impact on the city. This led to a walkout by the ruling party's councilors in protest of Perini's statements.
