Approximately 1.5 million workers participated in a general strike in Italy, organized by the USB union, protesting against war, high living costs, and government policies. The strike saw significant involvement from students and youth across over 60 locations. Organizers expressed satisfaction with the turnout and emphasized their commitment to continue fighting against austerity and attacks on education and housing rights. The student collective OSA claimed participation of up to two million, highlighting issues like racism and class exclusion. While some protests turned violent earlier this month, most demonstrations remained peaceful. Protests also occurred in other European countries, driven by similar grievances.
