Rome Tens of thousands of union members and leftists took to the streets of Rome Saturday to protest the government's policies against the ongoing financial crisis The government of Silvio Berlusconi failed to use 'the most valuable 18 months' after Berlusconi's election, meaning a change is now necessary, said Pierluigi Bersani, head of the opposition centre- left Democratic Party (PD), from the Piazza del Popolo.
