Italians Rise Up Against “Health Dictatorship” As Country Moves Toward New Lockdown

By Tyler Durden

Earlier this year Italy became the first entire nation to impose
strict lockdown and social distancing measures when it was the
first to see a major coronavirus outbreak outside of Wuhan,
China.

By the close of May, just as the United States took the lead
globally�in number of confirmed cases, Italy’s numbers had fallen
and lockdown restrictions were dropped, with its daily infection
rate remaining under control through summer. However,
Italy’s case numbers began soaring once again starting
September into this month.

Over the weekend the country saw a new record daily high.

Reuters
reports that “COVID-19 cases across the country have
risen seven-fold since the start of the month,
jumping to 19,143 on Friday and raising fears that the pandemic is
spiraling out of control.â€

Local media dubbed weekend clashes with police in Naples as
appearing more like guerilla warfare.

Naturally, government leaders are once again eyeing a total
lockdown of the peninsula, but it’s evident many Italians
aren’t having it. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has just
issued a new emergency decree Sunday which once
again shutters all cinemas, theatres, gyms and swimming
pools. And further bars and restaurants have been ordered
to close by 6pm every night.

This set off major protests across various cities, especially in
Rome and Naples, which led to clashes with police over the weekend.
Initially peaceful, local media have described many demonstrations
rapidly spiraled into fights with police led by hundreds or
far-right protesters.

In Rome, fireworks were shot at police trying to disperse a
central plaza.

The mayhem is believed to have been led by the right wing Fuerza
Nova party which called for the population to resist what it
called â€œhealth dictatorship and curfewsâ€.

Meanwhile, Italy’s southern Campania region has moved to
implement a total lockdown of the province, with
its leaders urging the rest of the country to follow suit,
according to Reuters.

This had set off the fiercest demonstrations thus far in Naples
Friday night, with a handful of people arrested, while in Rome
Saturday night up to a dozen or more were arrested.

Likely anti-lockdown marches and protests will only grow – a
trend witnessed in other countries that have attempted to reimpose
lockdowns after long adapting to a ‘new normal’ of common sense
social distancing measures.
