Meet the ‘orange vests’
Hundreds of Italian demonstrators gathered in Rome’s Piazza del Popolo on Tuesday, ditching their masks in a protest against the Italian government’s lockdown restrictions aimed at controlling the spread of COVID-19.
The group, which calls themselves the ‘Orange Vests,’ is led by retired Carabinieri general Antonio Pappalardo, who doesn’t believe children should be made to wear masks, according to TIME.
Refusing to wear a mask himself, Pappalardo said “These lungs mine. I will take care of my lungs. Breathing is sacred.”
The people packing the square didn’t adhere to social-distancing guidelines set by the government.
Pappalardo portrayed such containment measures as an infringement of freedom. Other speakers at the protest asserted that the pandemic ‘’never existed’’ and alleged that politicians had played it up to enhance their own powers. –TIME
Elsewhere in Rome, opposition leaders, including League Party chief Matteo Salvini, marched on Tuesday to demand that the government resign.
Unveiling an Italian flag along the Via del Corso, Rome’s central artery, the gathering soon turned into a procession led by Salvini and two other party leaders: Giorgia Meloni of the right-wing Brothers of Italy, and Antonio Tajani, who co-founded former PM Silvio Berlusconi’s center-right Forza Italia, according to France24.
According to a Facebook post by Salvini, the march was “a symbolic gesture to make heard the voices of the citizens who do not give up.”
As Italy faces the worst recession since the war, the crisis could further bolster the far-right with the country scrambling to support businesses.
“There is an immediate need for money for the Italians, yet we are promised the recovery fund in 2021,” Salvini told reporters, referring to the 750-billion-euro European recovery plan.
“There can be no forgotten Italian workers,” he added.
He also expressed opposition to the government’s decision to temporarily allow illegal migrants to work on the land or as domestic helpers. –France24
Salvini was spared standing trial last week by a special committee over allegations of illegally detaining migrants at sea.

I wish we had a Salvini here in Britain. We have a craven unanimity among the political class who revel in the police state buttressed by skewed statistics and a hysterical media.
Seen this?

Just hasn’t been updated since March, doesn’t mean it won’t change status
It was down graded in March to what it is now. Check your facts!!
Just thinking the same. Together with Health Care Advisers who say it is good to protest, on behalf of George Floyd, but the rest of the country must isolate.
Now remind me, but, doesn’t a certain Hungarian invest heavily in those who will deliver I D 2 0 2 0,plus, fund B L M and Anti-fa?
I would like to see Soros make an appearance in the dock. Judgement at Nuremberg, redux.
Yes George Soros
Have no fear once the polital, upper class find even their Royals are fake and have been fraudulent, Elizabeth stripped of her title they will be brought t ok question everything they have ever known.
So so true can’t wait for this 😍
That should only come true. The monarchy reduced to status quo, stripped of titles and monies.
Yeah, all you need is one more lunatic. You have your own Salvini, he’s named Boris Johnson.
I live in Italy. If you think Boris Johnson behaves like Salvini, I’d like to know what you’re smoking?
Hold tight 🙏🏻✨
Salvini is dirty! He left his people to a dictatorial state and returned to steal the work of Generale Pappalardo, and to distract people from the “revolution’.. Pappalardo means freedom for the population, he will not get it because we are too deep into a state of dictatorship, but he want more for his people than this shallow article says.
Non conosce nulla di tutto ciò… Stia zitta!
cant argue with that
??? Salvini returned “to distract people from the ‘revolution’?” Huh?
Cretina, non sai niente… and your English is lousy too
Speaking as a resident of Italy, I think you DO have your own Salvini. His name is Farage. Both are waiting in the wings for the current “leaders” to destroy themselves.
Maybe in the interim they should start picking out new wallpaper and curtains for their respective PM’s residences–it would while away the time…
I can help.
We’ve got Piers Corbyn (don’t laugh, the guy’s a hero), and he could do with a few thousand supporters next time the anti-lockdown protesters take to the streets.
Celebrate for the victory of humanity and for the first time in its creation you all have obeyed his commandments by loving your neighbor as you love yourself. You have victory place God over your victory Defeating Covid 19 you will, now and from here on honor God as his creation Now I bring the plague of the first seal onto the army of the prince of the principalities of the air to the cost of 1/3 of your forces as is righteous before God against the one whome would invoke the anger of God. Now depart from our land… Read more »
Do you really think the Creator would use a scamdemic to fulfill his prophecy?
The great thing is you guys knew nothing about this and still the evidence that is in your ability to see t the truth is evidence of these things being true. Praise God
Non è così… L’Italia ha piena fiducia in Giuseppe Conte Presidente, quelli che manifestano sono la forza politica che in 40 anni di mal politica ha rovinato l’Italia. Non manifestano contro il virus che ha fatto migliaia di morti nel paese ma contro il governo che sta cambiando l’Italia in meglio. Forza presidente CONTE, L’ITALIA È ORGOGLIOSA DI TE!
People like you are the reason why Italia is such a wreck. You live in an alternate reality, “piena fiducia in Conte,” are you insane?
I am truly surprised that people haven’t slaughtered him yet like Mussolini
You are an ignorant left-wing troll and the reason why Italy was a mess long before the virus. Conte’s first allegiance is to the EU and his own career.
Salvini è un ciarlatano, Berlusconi, salvini, Meloni, vecchia politica che ha distrutto l’immagine dell’Italia e del popolo. Il presidente CONTE è un signore, intelligente, ONESTO, mai stato indagato, immenso!
Italians should protest Against Bill Gates, WHO and upcoming compulsory vaccination! That’s the NEW (Evil) World Order!!
You should check out Sara Cunial, a member of the Italian Parliament who recently gave a speech on the floor, railing against forced vaccines and Bill Gates. SHE GETS IT!
Here it is with English subtitles, replace the * with dots:
https://www*youtube*com/watch?v=mkDYtAYMRhw
I am Canadian….and I saw her address the Italian Parliament regarding Bill Gates and his affiliates. So much respect to and for this woman. I shared the video of her speaking….may it circulate far and wide to inspire other politicians to speak out also.
Thanks to Bill, “IP Address cannot be found” for your youtube link…something stinks. Resist all vaccinations from this guy. He’s only interested in depopulation.
I link wont even load…they must have removed it?
remove the asterisks and instead have periods. Here’s the link:
[ IMPORTANT ] Italian Congress woman tells it all!! Sara Cunial SUB ENG – Gates – Soros – exposed
Don’t forget the horrors of 5G
Absolutely correct! Without 5G, the ‘powers that be’ can NOT continue with their power and control agenda (cryptocurrency/crowd control/vaccinations, etc…). 5G has to be stopped for our own good. The illusion of convenience must be reflected upon.
P.S. Of course, the EMF dangers from 5G is paramount also……but the control and domination abilities of the corrupt leaders in gvt. and industry is also involved with 5G. It is the very tool they need to carry out their hideous plans.
Hundreds of people will not cut it. You need billion millions of people to stand up, or else things carry on as usual.
thats right … we are working on people… wake up the sheeple….
God Bless all of them for speaking up for the truth. Now we need this worldwide.
I agree totally ! There is no evidence that Covid-19 is anymore dangerous than seasonal flu that kills between 15-18,000 people every year in the UK . We have almost wrecked our economy because of a certain Professor ( with a terrible record of getting it wrong) from Imperial College London apparently advised the Gov of Boris J that 500,000 brit’s were going to die! He then reduced this to 20.000 and we are supposed to listen to these clowns ! We have been fooled into accepting prison for doing nothing wrong ! So much for the UK being a… Read more »
Some Canadian Numbers https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1310078201 In 2017, there were 7,396 influenza and pneumonia deaths in Canada, or 2.67% of all deaths. In 2017, there were 25,767 deaths from all diseases of the respiratory system, which includes the above, or 9.31% of all deaths. In 2018, there were 8,511 influenza and pneumonia deaths in Canada, or 3.00% of all deaths. In 2018, there were 27,285 deaths from all diseases of the respiratory system, which includes the above, or 9.62% of all deaths. Then there is this, and keep in mind that the “number of cases” is, of course, not a… Read more »
Yep
Yep
The print is too small. Please provide a link so I can read what you have to share. Thank you.
It is very difficult to read. Do you have a link? And thank you for sharing. It is good to know that people all around the world are aware of the globalist threat that has existed for centuries.
I got yer mask right here!
A new “Normal”? We are missing the bigger picture In the world-wide approach to Covid-19. Immunity is our only real defence against viruses. Therefore our immune system is our most significant but largely overlooked ally in the covid-19 problem. A lesson from history The Great War of 1914-1918 caused 9 million combat deaths and 13 million civilians died. Each war death is accompanied by about 10 injuries, so 240 million people were physically affected. That equates to 13% of the population of the world at that time. It would be safe to say that hardly a single soul world-wide was… Read more »
So proud of you Italy…stay strong and enjoy your life…Unfortunately I am stuck in the US and at this moment it is a place of mass destruction. But this too shall end and the evil will be eradicated from the earth.
Gather up the traitors in power build a guillotine and do your job
WE SHOULD DO THE SAME IN SPAIN!!!
I would like the see one of these people spend the day visiting residents of a nursing home….
Yes please do so! They cant socialize and that may have been the last thing they had left for them. I currently have an aunt dying because she refuses to eat and wants to die. She has the worst depression ever right now and its because family cant be with her or she can’t socialize with others. If corona virus doesn’t kill the elderly depression for sure will. Ask a dr about the rise is fatality of the elderly right now that they will probably mark as co vid, I guess in a sense it was co vid related since… Read more »
Cher really? did you go to one? you so brain washed and believe in media. 0 cases in the ones i know of. and if there are cases they are fake! how i know this? simply, wife and mother in law are nurses in those.
Yes Anthony Fauci is totally wrong the mesk don’t do you good
Fauci is on video saying that healthy people should not wear masks, yet he wears one.
Their starting a new party! To leave the EU , that’s awesome and I got my popcorn
The “pandemic” was not real, but there does seem to be quite a nasty new strain of flu around. Not a bad idea to wear a mask if you’re coughing and sneezing around others.
If someone has the flu, a mask will not prevent them from spreading it. They really just need to isolate themselves until they feel well.
a good article, i miss seeing your videos on youtube, god bless you, amen <3 <3 <3
You little ripper!! Let Italy lead the way. Enough is enough!
It is good to not comply with these unreasonable demands, however, it is important to be very cautious to not allow a leadership vacuum open up the way for the United Nations to exert their power in our nations. That is exactly the plan in all of this. They want to weaken our governments so that we will tolerate their involvement. All of this…the pandemic, the overreach of our governments, the resulting social unrest…all to bring about conditions so that the people of all nations will allow the United Nations to step in. The United Nations is the world’s greatest… Read more »
The Great Awakening! May it be the ‘new’ pendemic: global freedom.
So what ARE we supposed to do about this thing that killed so many people? I caught the man-made virus they had in 2019. I never felt anything like it. It took out my compromised friend in less than three months. I’m not willing to catch this thing.
It was ALWAYS A SCAMDEMIC!
Yes I’m in uk, and its a JOKE. Nurses in uk are told to treat covid patients and non covid patients on the same shift without ppe and covid wards are mixed with non covid patients. Which means they’re internationally cross contaminating everyone. They’re putting patients on ventilators and giving them LETHAL DOSES of morphine. Nurses are under gagging orders not to speak up. The govt need more deaths to justify their actions, as they’ve invested TRILLIONS of £ of our tax payers money into this 5g BS! Now they’re saying EVERYONE needs a flu jab to ease the burden… Read more »
Everyone accept The Vatican, has to wear a mask…
I agree its a scam!! Time for America to stand with the Italians and fight for our rights! God Bless America and Italy!!!
its a scam, cause 750 000 / 8 000 000 000 = 0.00009375, how many percent of the population of Earth, …
