Social movements for the Right of Housing, movements against the crisis,social centers, No Tav, No Muos, and many refugees, precarious people and students marched through the center of Rome, with the slogan “General uprising against Austerity and Precarity. dignity and income for all”.

The high participation in the demonstration clearly shows how the people didn’t buy the warnings and menaces of violence and infiltrations made by mainstream media to belittle its political content. Neither did the attempts by Trenitalia (the national railway company) which charged exhorbitant prices for its trains, or by the police – which blocked and searched the buses of the demonstrators – of preventing demonstators to arrive in Rome succeed.

Actions against the ministries of Economy and public Infrastructures were planned and realised during the route. The Monte dei Paschi Bank was attacked also.
With the backing of fascists from Casapound, the police provoked the demonstrators in the Termini station area, yet they didn’t manage to disrupt the flow of the march.

During the assault on the ministry of Economy, the people laid siege to the building on all sides for an hour, and the police was attacked many times with paper bombs, bottles and various objects.

As soon as the demonstrators arrived at the historical Porta Pia, the city gate at which once the troops of the Church were defeated by secular ones, they planted tents all around and made up a media center and a popular canteen to cover the primary needs of the participants, and let them and the organizers to have their say on the day.

The first collective appointment is scheduled for the morning of Sunday 20, when a popular assembly will take place at 11 a.m.
