Sociologist called the reasons for the protests in Italy

The protests in Italy have been linked to economic discontent, government inaction on social stratification and the government’s attempts to suppress civic activism, equating peaceful actions with offenses. This writes Leggo with reference to sociologist Donatella Della Porta.

The sociologist noted that students, truck drivers and unions are protesting against the high cost of living, lack of access to housing and education.

"For them, demanding the right to education means demanding their future," she said.

People are demanding not just higher wages or cheaper education, but more rights, as well as better hospitals, housing and schools. The state spends most of its money on military spending.

According to Porta, politicians ignore the demands of citizens. Because of the new security laws, people who go out peacefully now feel almost like criminals. The sociologist is sure that such a policy only harms: when people are deprived of the right to peaceful protest, they begin to act much more radically.

Earlier, the Italian newspaper Messaggero reported that due to street riots and pogroms on the streets of Milan will send the military.

Also, the press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that Europe is experiencing a major crisis.
