About 20,000 anti-fascist protesters march in Parma against remigration rally

On Saturday, about 1,500 people marched in Parma for remigration, a policy calling for foreign citizens to be sent away.

The march in the city’s north was promoted by CasaPound, Veneto Fronte Skinheads and Rete dei Patrioti, with people arriving from across Italy.

Around 20,000 anti-fascist protesters marched separately, from the working-class Oltretorrente district to the Partisan Monument.

The two demonstrations took place a few hundred metres apart.

Mayor Michele Guerra urged people to take to the streets when fascists come to the city and call for foreign residents to be expelled.

The much larger counter-march showed the scale of opposition to the remigration rally in Parma.

When fascists come to your city to say that foreign citizens should be taken away and sent away, you have to take to the streets because you are anti-racist and anti-fascist
