罗马 — — 周六,暴徒在米兰市中心与警方发生冲突,抢掠商店并纵火,清空了杜莫广场和一处豪华购物拱廊,而该地区此时通常应挤满购物者。
ROME — Rioters clashed with police, looted stores and set property on fire in central Milan on Saturday, emptying Piazza del Duomo and a luxury shopping arcade when the area would usually be teeming with shoppers.
反对战争和生活成本上升的游行起初和平进行。但戴面具的抗议者向防暴警察投掷石块、路面砖块和其他物品,并点燃了由酒吧桌子制成的路障。事后的图像显示,一辆宪兵车受到严重损毁。警方使用水炮和催泪瓦斯驱散人群。
The march against wars and rising living costs began peacefully. But masked protesters threw stones, paving blocks and other objects at riot police and set fire to barricades made from bar tables. Images of the aftermath showed a severely damaged carabinieri car. Police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse the crowds.
据LaPresse通讯社报道,至少有两名警员受伤,约50名示威者被拘留,其中包括许多未成年人。意大利总理乔治亚·梅洛尼在社交媒体帖子中谴责了暴力行为。
At least two police officers were injured and about 50 demonstrators, including many minors, were detained, the LaPresse news agency reported. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni condemned the violence in a social media post.
“示威是一种权利。点燃我们的城市则不是,”她写道,指出“有些流氓利用示威制造混乱,攻击负责维护安全的人,并劫持整座城市。”
“Demonstrating is a right. Setting our cities ablaze is not,” she wrote, citing “hooligans who exploit demonstrations to sow chaos, attack those responsible for ensuring security and hold entire cities hostage.”
米兰的中左派市长朱塞佩·萨拉表示,“抗议的理由是可以理解的。但对执法部门的暴力和对城市的严重破坏是不可正当化的。”
Milan’s center-left mayor, Giuseppe Sala said “the reasons for the protests were understandable. The violence against law enforcement and serious damage to the city are not justifiable.”
此次骚乱与法国全国范围内的示威活动同时发生,法国民众同样抗议生活成本上升,并支持高中生的诉求。法国警方使用催泪瓦斯和水炮驱散了参加集会的暴力抗议者。
The unrest coincided with nationwide demonstrations in neighboring France against rising living costs and in support of high school students’ grievances French police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse violent protesters who joined the rallies.
