  • Palermo, Sicily, Italy - 25 January, 2012: Members of the separatist Movement for the Independence of Sicily protest together with  thousands of people during the demonstration organized by the Movimento dei Forconi (Pitchfork Movement), a movement of farmers, shepherds, breeders and fishermen united against the increasing prices of fuel, against corruption, political deafness, Prime Minister Monti and ECB politics. The Pitchforks Movement self-declares itself as “non-political” and “against party politcs”, while many observers have denounced the presence of far-right and neo-fascists organizations and parties within or in support of it. Calls for more indipendence from the central government go along with hopes to spread the revolt to the whole Country.  ### Palermo, Sicilia, Italia - 25 gennaio 2012: Membri del Movimento per l'Indipendenza della Sicilia partecipano con migliaia di persone alla manifestazione organizzata dal Movimento dei Forconi, composto da agricoltori, pastori, allevatori e pescatori uniti contro  l'aumento della benzina, contro la corruzione, contro una politica assente, il Primo Ministro Mario Monti e le politiche della BCE. Il Movimento si dichiara apartitico e apolitico, benché gli osservatori hanno denunciato la presenza di movimenti di estrema destra come Forza Nuova. Il Movimento dei Forconi chiede inoltre una maggiore indipendenza della Sicilia e spera di diffondere la rivolta in tutto il paese.
