Thousands march for worker rights, democracy

The past October 16th ten of thousands of Italians demonstrated in Rome demanding worker legal rights and democracy. People came from all over Italy in 7 charted trains, and 70 buses. Students and workers also took part in the protest.

The government acted also with the company of cars Fiat. The plant threated with closing. "Italy is tumbling into the abyss."
