'Partisan yesterday, antifascist today' — Police disperse Milan counterprotest against Patriots rally with water cannon, tear gas

"Tensions escalated in Milan on Saturday as a protest against a ‘Patriots’ rally descended into clashes, with police using water cannon and tear gas to disperse demonstrators in the city centre. Police vehicles were deployed across key access points as the situation intensified, while debris and litter were seen scattered on the ground following the unrest. A banner reading ‘Partisan yesterday, antifascist today’ was displayed among the crowd as demonstrators gathered in large numbers before confronting security forces. Authorities have not yet provided details on possible arrests or injuries. The demonstration formed part of a wider counter-protest in Milan against a gathering linked to the traditionalist ‘Patriots for Europe’ political bloc, with rival groups holding parallel marches across the city. Hundreds of officers were deployed to prevent clashes between the two sides."
