Overview

  • The click day portal for 800 €600-per-month internships froze two minutes after opening, preventing any submissions.
  • Activists from Movimento Disoccupati 7 novembre and Scampia Cantiere 167 gathered in Piazza Plebiscito before mounting an unauthorized march to the port.
  • Naples police responded with baton charges in front of the Stazione Marittima, detaining three protesters and injuring about ten participants.
  • Protesters cited suspicious overnight activity on the portal and expressed deep mistrust in the Ministry of Labor and local authorities.
  • The internships stem from a 2014 agreement that allocated over €6 million for one-year placements in public and private projects.
