France
Italy too
They are sixteen, seventeen, twenty. Since 16 October, Italian pupils and students have been marching against the Meloni government. Five hundred soldiers in Milan, 330 detentions, a general strike on Friday. Few are talking about it.

In front of the Colosseum, thousands of pupils, backpacks on, flags raised. It all began on 16 October, a “No Meloni Day”: Rome, Turin, Milan, Naples, against the schools decree, the state of the buildings, the cost of living. In Turin, water cannon and tear gas. The following weekend, looting and clashes, at least 60 arrests in one night.
A “No Meloni Day”, then the soldiers
On 21 October, Giorgia Meloni announced 500 soldiers for Milan, counted nearly 200 injured police officers and 330 people placed in detention. The government decided to fine parents for damage done by their children. The USB union has called a general strike this Friday 30 October. French wire reports ask “Like in France?”. Here, the story fits in a brief.
