Italy: Police and Students Clash in Milan at Anti-austerity
protest
Students
clashed with police in Milan during a protest against government cuts in
education spending. The clashes happened outside the Lombardy regional
government offices.
Protesters
threw red dye into a public fountain in Milan close to the regional
government's offices as a symbol of "bleeding public schools". The
angry protests followed earlier demonstrations in Rome but also in the north in
Turin and Palermo in the south.
The Italian students
demanded greater investment in education and opposed cutbacks in the 2014
budget. Even though the Italian government has already passed a number of
austerity measures, the European Commission warned that Italy's draft budget
still may not comply with new debt and deficit rules.
