In Vienna, a rally in support of lifting sanctions against the Russian Federation was held
WATCH: #BNNAustria Reports. A protest in #Vienna was held in favor of removing the sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation. Protesters also demanded that Austria maintain its neutrality and that electricity and gas prices be reduced. Many protesters carried Austrian and Russian flags, as well as posters with the inscriptions "Reduce electricity and gas prices", "For neutrality". “Not Putin does not want to sell us gas and raw materials, and the European Union has banned this through sanctions and embargoes. At the same time, the EU is constantly talking about the right to free trade. But this right, apparently, applies only to trade relations with the United States and its allies,” the protesters said. According to them, the United States imposes sanctions not only on the Russian Federation, but also on other countries, causing #inflation in Europe to rise. The activists also claimed that the division between Europe and Russia serves only the interests of the United States. . . . . . #Russian #Federation #Russia #Sanctions #USA #Protests #Putin #EuropeanUnion #Austrian #flags #Austria #bnnbreaking #latestupdates #latestnews #viralnews #news Read more from #BNN BNN Newsroom: https://bnn.network/

BREAKING: #BNNAustria Reports. Italian anti-mafia journalist Roberto Saviano will go on trial this week after @GiorgiaMeloni , the Italian prime minister, accused him of defamation for criticizing her stance on immigration in 2020. Previously a minor party, @GiorgiaMeloni 's far-right Brothers of Italy party won an election last month and, in part because of her campaign promise to halt the influx of refugees across the Mediterranean. Defamation is a crime in Italy, thus Saviano, who is best known for his international mafia bestseller "Gomorrah," might spend up to three years in jail if found guilty. The trial begins on Tuesday. The 43-year-old described the trial as "an uneven conflict, undoubtedly disgusting," while press freedom advocacy groups claimed it sent a "chilling message" to reporters who disagreed with @GiorgiaMeloni 's strict immigration policies. #Italy #Crime #Law #Court #Defamation
