_Daniela Preziosi and Giovanni Stinco_ / Il Manifesto Global (Rome)

"The sardine events are full of people who hate inequality. And a
great component is the LGBT sphere, feminists, immigrants. There’s a
reason behind that. They are people who have suffered under the
aggressive attacks from right-wing populist language and the Lega."

and the CGT union’s leader, who had originally spurned the Yellow
Vests, immediately welcomed them.
