[GTranslate]ROME – New day of protests, tension and clashes in the center of Rome.
The restaurateurs of “Io Apro”, already protagonists of the previous event organized to ask for the reopening of public establishments (read here the previous article: Exasperated restaurateurs in Rome… ), took to the streets again today.
“We have given you 48 hours to legitimize the reopening of all economic activities. Nobody answered us. The ultimatum has expired” the restaurateurs wrote on the Facebook page of “Io Apro”, making an appointment for today in Piazza Montecitorio. And so it was.
Crying for “freedom” (watch the video below), the demonstrators tried to force the blockade to reach Montecitorio, rejected by the police. “They are denying us the right to demonstrate,” said a restaurant owner.
«We are many, all of Italy is moving to take their rights – he added – today they will have to give us a date and we will do everything to sit down at a table on the reopening whether it is April 19, April 20, or April 21. We will not go further».
There are many acronyms present with slogans, banners and tricolors: in addition to “Io Apro”, also VAT numbers, baristas and commercial operators from all over Italy, and Casapound, who displayed the banner: “The fear of dying is not making us live “.
In the late afternoon, the news that a delegation of demonstrators would be received by the Draghi government.
