Housing Activists Protest in Rome

Published: 2025-02-25

Activists from the Housing Movement in Rome have returned to the streets following a police raid in the Quarticciolo neighborhood.

The raid, which aimed to address illegal activities, led to the seizure of hundreds of drug doses, some hidden in pipes.

This has reignited tensions between local residents and authorities, with activists accusing the police of heavy-handed tactics.

The Housing Movement has long advocated for better living conditions and affordable housing in the city.

Their latest protests highlight ongoing frustrations over social inequality and law enforcement's approach to community issues.

Authorities, however, defend their actions as necessary to combat crime and ensure public safety.
