Protesta a Botteghe oscure: “Dove c’era la politica solo affari”

Protests in Rome highlight opposition to real estate speculation and short-term rentals. Activists temporarily occupied a historic building to denounce the transformation of the city driven by large real estate funds. They argue that housing should prioritize people's dignity over corporate profit. The actions coincide with an international strike for housing rights, emphasizing the need for affordable living spaces. Activists also removed smart lockers used by B&Bs, leaving messages against the current housing crisis. The movement aims to address the growing issue of vacant properties and the shift towards short-term rentals, advocating for a more inclusive urban model.
