Tens of thousands of people took to Milan’s streets on Saturday to protest against what they said\u00a0are racist policies promoted by the national government.<\/p>\n

The demonstrators played bongo drums and trumpets as they gathered in front of the Duomo\u00a0under the slogan\u00a0“Prima le persone” (people first).<\/p>\n

The phrase plays on the “Prima gli Italiani” (Italians first) slogan used by\u00a0Italy’s anti-immigrant interior minister, Matteo Salvini.<\/p>\n

The rally was a “powerful political testimonial that Italy is not just the country that it is currently being described as,” said Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala.<\/p>\n

Milan’s social issues councilor, Pierfrancesco Majorino, claimed\u00a0on Twitter that 200,000 people had shown up for the protest.
\n“Salvini, count us,” he said.<\/p>\n

CGIL labor union chief Maurizio Landini said the populist governing coalition in Rome “is promoting the wrong policies, and is not fighting the inequalities.”<\/p>\n

Salvini’s right-wing League party entered into government with the populist Five Star Movement in 2018.<\/p>\n

Since then, Italy has repeatedly\u00a0refused to allow humanitarian ships that save migrants in the Mediterranean Sea to dock\u00a0at its ports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
