Thousands of Italians have taken to the streets of Rome and several other major cities to express their resentment with the austerity policies imposed by the government of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

During the Saturday anti-austerity rallies, the demonstrators, mostly students and activists, chanted slogans against the government and accused the premier of triggering a war on the poor people.

The riot police also scuffled with protesters and apprehended a number of them, while others burnt flares and hurled eggs at the police.

The demonstrators also marched in front of the highly guarded German embassy in the capital and threw eggs at the building, decrying the European Union’s austerity policies.

The riot police in Rome blocked the protesters from reaching their final destination, the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
