ROME (Dispatches) -- Italians have marched in the capital Rome to protest against the country’s membership of the U.S.-led NATO military alliance, as energy and cost-of-living crisis worsen across Europe amid the raging war in Ukraine.
The massive demonstration, organized by the USB (Unione Sindacale di Base) union, saw people burning energy bills in protest against skyrocketing costs of living, which are taking a huge toll on ordinary people in the southern European country. The protesters called on the government to leave NATO.
