As much as I appreciate the Italians protesting ..... didn't they overwhelming elect the government that is doing this to them?

It's kind of foreshadowing for what will happen in US

There are no leftist parties in Italy. You could only pick between mild neoliberal, full neoliberal, old-school liberal and a few different flavors of proto-fascists.

Unions in Italy are the only bastion of the left wing, especially now that Landini decided he's not a wishy-washy institutional moderate anymore and he wants to enter Valhalla dying in battle.
