One protester said that the G20 'continues undaunted on a path that has almost led us to social and ecological failure.'
Thousands of demonstrators took the streets in Rome Saturday, where leaders of the world's largest economies have convened to discuss issues including the global supply chain, tax policy and climate change.
"There is an alternative to a development model based on 20 of the world's most important heads of state meeting in a room and deciding on the fate of the world," said another protester, Luca Ianniello."It's Oct. 30, and it's super hot. And that scares me," said Valeria Cigliana, 18, who was protesting world leaders' response to climate change,. She stood in front of a banner that read,"The alternative to G20 is us," the newspaper reported.
Sara Mastrogiovanni, a librarian, told the newspaper that she brought her 8-year-old daughter to the protest.
