VERONA \u2014 Alt-left demonstrators descended on the Italian city of Verona Saturday to protest the World Congress of Families, sending the city into a security lockdown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Riot police and army soldiers in camouflage gear set up roadblocks in various points around Verona\u2019s massive Piazza Bra and its adjoining tributaries, site of the congress and epicenter of the radical feminist and LGBT protests.<\/p>\n

The 13th annual World Congress of Families, which featured speakers and participants from around the world to discuss the importance of stable families for the future of civilization, met with surprising opposition, which erupted in Saturday\u2019s demonstrations:<\/p>\n

Event organizers decried the rampant fake news surrounding the event, which painted participants as neo-fascists, homophobes, and misogynists (despite the fact that more than half of the speakers were women).<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom reading the press, one would think the congress were all about condemning homosexuality,\u201d lamented Brian Brown, president of the International Organization for the Family, \u201cwhen, in fact, homosexuality is not even among the topics discussed.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his address at the congress, Italy\u2019s Interior Minister Matteo Salvini drew applause when he said that the coverage of the event made him ashamed to be a journalist, the politician\u2019s former career.<\/p>\n
