Italy: Anti-fascists clash with police outside right-wing memorial demo

 

Clashes erupted in Pavia on Wednesday, between police and anti-fascist protesters who were trying to interrupt a right-wing memorial for the victims of the Foibe massacres.

According to reports, a group of anti-fascist activists managed to bypass police cordons and make their way to the location of the far-right movement’s memorial assembly. Police in riot gear were forced to intervene when scuffles broke out between the two groups, pushing the anti-fascists back with batons.
