Italians have been protesting against the so-called green pass — an electronic COVID-19 vaccination certificate — for weeks already, with the largest demonstrations taking place in Milan, Rome, and the port of Trieste.

Clashes were reported between law enforcement and protesters in Trieste and Milan in northern Italy on Saturday night.

According to the Tgcom24 news channel, several hundred protesters against the mandatory green pass tried to break into Unity of Italy Square in Trieste, where demonstrators are not allowed until the end of the year per the decision of the city authorities. Police reportedly used batons against protesters to drive them away from the square.
