Συγκρούσεις στο κέντρο της Ρώμης στην πορεία για το εκπαιδευτικό

Police vans and lines of officers in riot gear blocked access to much of Rome's historic centre on Tuesday to keep thousands of student protesters from reaching parliament. The police blockades prevented several lines of marchers from converging on the square outside the Chamber of Deputies and blocked bus and tram routes. Riot police eventually followed closely behind the protesters on Via del Corso street causing the most violent group to disperse. Lawmakers in Italy on Tuesday will vote on a contested reform bill which many students and professors say will give the private sector too much involvement in the state university system. They claim funding cuts mean faculty positions are going unfilled.
