A new group calling itself the “October 17 Movement” has emerged in Italy following weekend demonstrations against the rising cost of living. The movement utilizes an Instagram page and a private Telegram group of approximately 250 members to organize and communicate. They have announced plans for protests every Saturday at 3:00 PM, beginning on October 24th. These demonstrations are scheduled to take place in eight cities throughout Italy. The group’s emergence signals a continuation of discontent regarding the current economic climate. Further details regarding the movement’s specific demands and leadership remain scarce at this time. Organizers aim to maintain consistent public pressure with these recurring protests.
