Thousands Protest EU's €800B Rearmament Plan in Rome, Led by Ex-PM Conte Against Militarization Push
Thousands marched in Rome to protest the EU’s proposed €800 billion military rearmament plan, led by Italy’s Five Star Movement and its leader, former PM Giuseppe Conte.
Protesters condemned cuts to healthcare, education, and labor in favor of militarization.
Conte declared the protest as the birth of an alternative Italy that rejects defense overspending.
Videos from the scene show crowds chanting and waving banners like “No to rearmament.” Italian PM Giorgia Meloni supports the EU’s ReArm plan, but faces internal coalition friction.
The protest signals growing dissent across Europe.

In a stunning twist, a personal trainer in Rome discovered his humble client “Robert” was none other than Pope Leo XIV. Valerio Masella trained the future pontiff—Cardinal Robert Prevost—for two years, unaware of his true identity. Known for his calm and balanced demeanor, Prevost worked out frequently, blending into gym life. The revelation came when Masella saw his former client emerge as Pope on TV. Praised for his physical fitness and humility, Pope Leo continues to inspire, even receiving a tennis racket from Italy’s Jannik Sinner this week.
