  Protests erupt across Italy as crowds clash with riot police against lockdown

  The people of Italy tired of seeing their democracy and liberty being removed under the pretext of a mass killer covid 19 pandemic, held demonstrations across Italy which have ignited in several Italian cities.

  Throngs of protesters were seen fighting with law enforcement and ransacking businesses as they called for an end to the country’s sweeping coronavirus lock down which has destroyed businesses and the Italian economy.

  Protests were reported in at least five cities on Monday night, with physical clashes erupting in Turin and Milan, two of Northern Italy’s largest urban centers, the latter of which has been among the hardest hit by the pandemic.

  The people have no trust in the politicians and their draconian laws, some of the protest rallies and ensuing violence were captured in footage that circulated on social media, including an encounter in Milan, that saw demonstrators hurl what appears to be a petrol bomb at an approaching police car while chanting “Liberta!” (“Freedom!”) at the officers.

  Protesters also carried brightly burning flares and set off fireworks as they marched down rain-soaked streets. Scenes from Turin showed crowds of protesters rallying amid a haze of police tear gas, some of them breaking off from a larger group to vandalize storefronts.
  

  Rallies were not confined to Northern Italy, however, as actions also kicked off as far south as Lecce and Naples, while a march was also seen in Treviso, some 15 miles (24km) north of Venice.

  The protests got underway soon after the Italian government renewed nationwide lockdown measures on Sunday, imposing a 6pm curfew on bars and restaurants while shuttering public swimming pools, gyms and movie theaters.

  Some regions have also imposed their own curfews – including Lombardy and Piedmont, where Milan and Turin are located, respectively – citing what some health experts have deemed a “second wave” of the coronavirus outbreak.

  While citizens largely complied with an initial round of shutdowns in the spring, the new measures stoked immediate backlash, as residents label the restrictions draconian and small businesses struggle to stay afloat, taking a beating during the first lockdown. In an effort to address their concerns, the government said it would present a relief package on Tuesday to support businesses harmed by the new policies, which will stay in force until at least November 24.

  The people in Italy are not going to accept the globalist push for the new reset and watch their country be destroyed any longer, the rest of the world’s government also imposing these destructive and draconian measures on their citizens should beware tonight, Italy has started the ball rolling with the peoples resistance.
