Hundreds of unemployed people on
Friday burned their utility bills in central Naples in a protest
at the plight amid the cost-of-living crisis.
The protest by jobless belonging to the '7 novembre della 167'
movement took place outside the central post office in the
southern city's Piazza Matteotti square.
"We are tried of promises," said one of the protestors.
"We have been waiting for jobs for years and now we cannot pay
these figures, which have trebled (for gas and electricity).
"Our families are at the end of their tether.
"Up to now there have been lots of words for us but not much
action".
