Climate protesters throw paint on Senate facade in Rome

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 2 - A group of Italian climate protesters on Monday threw paint onto the facade of the Senate building, Palazzo Madama, in Rome.
    Some windows and the entrance to the vast Renaissance building were also hit by the paint, thrown by five members of the Ultima Generazione (UG, Last Generation) group.
    Carabinieri intervened to arrest the protesters, whose position is now being assessed.
    In a statement, UG said "behind the act (is) the desperation stemming from the continual issuing of ever more alarming statistics and data on the eco-climate collapse, which has already started, and the lack of interest of the political world in front of what is shaping up to be the greatest genocide in the history of humanity".
