In cities like Turin and Genoa, hundreds of students marched, criticizing the government for prioritizing military budgets over education.

Protesters carried effigies of Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara and University Minister Anna Maria Bernini, symbolizing their discontent with recent reforms and funding cuts.

Demonstrators highlighted the deteriorating state of schools and universities, citing collapsing infrastructure and reduced financial support.

The protests, organized by unions and student collectives, also opposed European rearmament policies, calling for investments in education instead.

Actions included burning flags and defacing political images, underscoring the urgency of their demands.
