  • Torching cars and bins just to clarify that they in no way represent the kind of danger to society that the Roma might.

    A 15-year-old boy who stood up to far-right activists during violent
    protests in Rome has won plaudits across Italy.

    The boy, Simone, was filmed speaking out in defence of minorities on
    Tuesday, when hundreds of far-right activists and residents took to
    the streets of Torre Maura, a Rome suburb. They were demonstrating
    against the temporary rehousing of 70 Roma people at a reception
    centre in the area.

    While one of the leaders of the neo-fascist CasaPound party was
    telling journalists that local people did not want the Roma around,
    Simone raised his hand and intervened, saying: “I don’t think like
    you.

    “What you are doing here in Torre Maura is exploiting the anger of the
    people. You turn this anger into votes, for your interests.
