What is happening

Meloni said it was an honor to serve Italians and argued that anti-fascism was being used as a “weapon of mass distraction.” Organizers’ decision not to stop at the planned point and a blockade before protesters could reach the port led to tension. The procession ended without clashes, while some demonstrators were taken to police headquarters.
