Thousands of demonstrators protested against the new "green pass" vaccination that is being introduced in Italy for employees entering the workplace. The pass will indicate who has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or who has tested negative. Both employees and employers are threatened with fines if they do not comply with the retention of the certificate. In Italy, this pass is already required to use public facilities such as museums, restaurants, trains, and buses. Many protesters showed non-violence and confronted the police. Some people also waved the Italian flag and shouted "Freedom!". Prime Minister Draghi issued a statement criticizing them, saying that their right to express their ideas could not be used to attack the government. In addition, he stated that the recent surge in vaccination rates was due to the availability of Green Passes in the workplace. It also aims to further increase vaccination rates.
