Unions on the street in Italy against government policy | World

Organized unions managed to attract a crowd to the capital thanks to 12 special trains, 1,300 buses, as well as ferries and low-cost flights.

Protesters demand a mbadive plan of public and private investment and more ambitious reforms than those proposed by the union government of the League (right) and the Five-Star Movement (M5S, antisystem).

For unions, the investment plan is very timid, their pension reform is very limited and their "citizen income" is considered a hybrid measure that does not promote the fight against poverty and unemployment.
