Italy ‚Pitchfork‘ protest leaders split over Rome demonstration

„We fear that there may be infiltrators and that the peaceful demonstration may turn into something far from our intention,“ Ferro told the Adnkronos news agency. „We are convinced by what has happened [Saturday] that cross-organizations could create unrest. We cannot risk getting involved in similar situations, and also a [long-term camp at the piazza] could be a dangerous fuse.

„There is a right wing in this country who would like to exploit the protest and we cannot allow either the right or to the left to do that.“
