6. They're protesting the closing of a left-wing cultural and political centre, the "Rota Flora".

It's also a place where some of those unclean non-"Aryan" refugees are protected from deportation.

Basically, it's what you'd get if Occupy had had a physical headquarters instead of park encampments.

The city(under a Social Democratic government, ironically)is backing the right-wing owner's demand to force the left out and replace Rota Flora with, most likely, some sort of soulless office bloc.
