Demonstrators clashed with riot police near the Italian parliament in Rome on Saturday, after thousands protested a government rule requiring COVID-19 vaccines or recent negative tests to access workplaces starting next week. The certification in Italy, known as a Green Pass, takes effect on October 15, and applies to public and private workplaces. The protesters first held a noisy, authorized protest Saturday in Piazza Del Popolo. Then demonstrators left the vast square and clashed with police as they headed through nearby Villa Borghese Park and then down Via Veneto in an unauthorized march. (AP)
