Overview
- The march, which kicks off Saturday at 2 p.m. from Piazza della Repubblica, is set to wind through central streets to Piazza San Giovanni.
- Organizers forecast about 15,000 people and claim more than 700 groups are involved, spanning ANPI, Amnesty, unions, student networks, and pro‑Palestine collectives.
- Antagonist groups linked to the Askatasuna social center say they will join, and authorities warn about possible attempts by radical fringes to provoke disorder.
- Police raised the alert level after a recent explosion in Rome’s Parco degli Acquedotti killed two militants during what investigators believe was the assembly of an improvised device, and the interior minister said attention will remain at the maximum.
- In Pisa earlier, police intervened to separate about 100 anarchist and antagonist activists from roughly 20 Azione Studentesca members, and DIGOS is reviewing video to identify those who turned violent, while Rome’s event forms part of a broader international protest day that includes a noon ‘March of the Invisible’ from the Colosseo metro stop.
