Demonstration in defense of publish water system in Rome, Italy

Demonstration in Piazza dell'Esquilino, Rome, Italy, on June 12, 2021, organized by the Italian Forum of Water Movements. Ten years ago a broad and determined coalition sanctioned a historic victory in Italy with 27 million 'Yes' votes in the referendums on water, public services, and nuclear power, forcing those who had imposed privatization for decades to take a step backward. Since December 2020, water, like any other commodity, has been listed on the stock exchange. This is an epoch-making step that opens the door to speculation by big capital and the marginalization of territories and populations and according to demonstrators, it constitutes a serious threat to fundamental human rights.
