(ANSA) - Naples, November 9 - A group of students and
left-wing activists occupied a university building where
left-wing politician and former premier Massimo D'Alema and CGIL
trades union leader Susanna Camusso were due to speak on
Thursday afternoon.
Roughly 100 young people occupied the lecture hall at the
Federico II University in Naples after a brief scuffle with the
police in order to prevent a conference on 'Europe and the
crisis of social democracy' from taking place.
"D'Alema cannot come and speak at the university," they
shouted.
Camusso, leader of Italy's biggest and most leftwing union
CGIL, was reported to have left the building after students told
her to "jatevenne" (go away, in Neapolitan dialect).
