The pots, empty, to symbolize the citizens' difficulty in "satisfying essential needs, such as bringing lunch and dinner to the table daily" explain the consumer associations that organized it.

"The cost of living today costs an average of 2,753 euros per year for every single Italian family, and the increase in retail prices is having devastating consequences for our economy, to the point that food consumption, according to the latest Istat data, in the first 4 months of 'year fell by 2.7% ",

In some cities, the demonstrators managed to get a meeting with the prefects for a confrontation on their platform of proposals, but in the capital this did not happen: "It is singular that the prefect of Rome did not make himself available to listen to us, showing a strong insensitivity to the citizens. and the families who are facing this difficult situation ", denounce the organizers.
