A public march in Casal di Principe, in the province of Caserta, brought tractors, farmers, livestock breeders, students and other residents together in a shared protest.
The demonstration was organised by Altragricoltura and Coapi. According to the reporting, protesters denounced high fuel and living costs, the low prices paid for products including milk and tomatoes, and the wider difficulties affecting agriculture and livestock farming.
Students join the procession
Students joined the procession carrying banners and messages, including "Senza diritti non c'è futuro" ("Without rights there is no future").
Their presence turned a sectoral agricultural protest into a broader public demonstration, linking the cost of living with concerns about work, rights and the future of younger generations.
An ongoing agricultural mobilisation
The march followed an earlier agricultural mobilisation in Casal di Principe, including a sit-in near the town stadium involving approximately 100 people and about 30 tractors.
In that phase of the protest, demonstrators called for a technical negotiating table addressing market controls, unfair competition, supply-chain balances, farm income and agricultural debt. Altragricoltura also requested that the national government declare a crisis in the agri-food sector.
The exact date and duration of the student-and-farmer procession, and the total attendance at the march itself, were not stated in the reporting. The sources document the protesters' demands, but not whether the requested measures or crisis declaration were subsequently adopted.
