Over 2,000 people gathered in Genoa to demand the resignation of Liguria's Governor Giovanni Toti, following new corruption allegations.
The rally saw center-left leaders, including Elly Schlein and Giuseppe Conte, unite in a show of 'broad field' opposition.
Toti faces fresh charges of illegal party financing, linked to a €56,000 payment from Esselunga supermarket chain.
The governor, currently under house arrest, is accused of exchanging favors for campaign contributions.
Opposition leaders called on Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to ask Toti to step down.
The event highlighted growing pressure on the regional government and potential shifts in Liguria's political landscape.
