Rome, Oct 16 (EFE).- Thousands of people marched Saturday in the center of Rome to protest against fascism and call on the government to dissolve the movements arising from that ideology. The march was called by the Italian Unions a week after the headquarters of the largest Italy's trade union, CGIL, suffered a violent attack at the hands of neo-fascist militants. (Camera: ANTONELLO NUSCA).SHOT LIST: PEOPLE MARCH AGAINST THE FACISM IN ROME, ITALY.SOUND BITES: PROTESTERS, EMILIANO AND EZIO SCOTTI (IN ITALIAN).TRANSLATIONS:1. EMILIANO, PROTESTER. - It seems fair to me to come to protest against fascism because it is something that must be fought. Unfortunately, it continues to live underground in our society, so from time to time we have to show that we are also facing those who go around burning down the CGIL headquarters. I am not afraid that fascism will return because we still have a society that can mobilize. We did it once and we can do it again if something really bad happens.2. EZIO SCOTTI, PROTESTER.- I am here to stand against all fascists so that what happened to us in Italy many years ago will no longer happen today. We must all fear fascism because it is a seed that continues underground and we must try not to underestimate these initiatives that from time to time resurface and show us that they also manage to have support because of the certain forms of mass technological communication, the social networks they use, especially people who are not culturally equipped.
Trade unions hold an anti-fascist protest in Rome, after violent protests last week in the centre of the city against the extension of the government's coronavirus pass led to a storming of the CGIL trade union. Calls have grown in Italy for a ban on the far-right group Forza Nuova, whose leaders were among those arrested after the storming of the union. IMAGES
