Protests at the General States of Birth when the minister for the family Eugenia Roccella took the floor and signs were raised in the audience that spelled out the words: “I decide”. A group of students challenged the minister. As soon as Roccella spoke, the whistles and screams began which prevented her from carrying out her speech. At that point Roccella, addressing the demonstrators, took the microphone and said: “Guys, we agree, but no one said that someone else decides on women’s bodies, absolutely no one.” But the protest continued.
One of the demonstrators spoke briefly into the microphone, but was then interrupted by organizer Gigi De Palo, saying: “But this is a monologue.” So while the protest continued, De Palo himself decided to give the floor to other guests, postponing Roccella’s intervention who first left the stage and then the Auditorium. The work is continuing but the situation in the theater has not yet returned to normal
