Thousands Protest EU's €800B Rearmament Plan in Rome, Led by Ex-PM Conte Against Militarization Push

Thousands marched in Rome to protest the EU’s proposed €800 billion military rearmament plan, led by Italy’s Five Star Movement and its leader, former PM Giuseppe Conte.

Protesters condemned cuts to healthcare, education, and labor in favor of militarization.

Conte declared the protest as the birth of an alternative Italy that rejects defense overspending.

Videos from the scene show crowds chanting and waving banners like “No to rearmament.” Italian PM Giorgia Meloni supports the EU’s ReArm plan, but faces internal coalition friction.

The protest signals growing dissent across Europe.
