Clashes between police officers and anti-NATO demonstrators took place in the Italian city of Naples. Eight people were injured, three of them were injured in the head area. This was reported by the channel RAI News 24.
The protest action was staged in Naples by opponents of the North Atlantic Alliance, the main slogan of the rally: “NATO, leave Italy”. During the demonstration there were clashes between protesters and police. At least 8 people were injured, three of whom were shot in the face and head.
Police used batons to block the path of activists who were trying to break through to the San Carlo theatre during a concert marking the 75th anniversary of NATO.
“Today unarmed activists were pushed, beaten,” RAI News 24 quoted a statement from the protesters as saying.
The activists plan to repeat the rally in ten days, on 19 April. This is the date of the end of the meeting of foreign Ministers of the G7 on the island of Capri in the Gulf of Naples.
Recall, earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Western ideas of the new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neo-colonial system, showing their essence in the form of “hypocrisy, double standards and claims”.
