DPARome, Feb 13 (DPA) A group of Italian protesters, who call themselves the Purple People, organized a weekend of demonstrations in several cities against Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, demanding his resignation over allegations of sex with underage prostitutes.
'After Mubarak, Silvio Berlusconi,' hundreds of protesters chanted in Rome Saturday, creating quite a stir as they banged cooking pots and spoons. 'Unworthy Berlusconi, this is not my head of government,' one banner said.
The Purple People have several times in the past organised, over the internet, a 'No-B(erlusconi) Day' in Rome. The rallies were attended by artists, journalists, trade unionists and other citizens.
Italians will take to the streets again Sunday, in protests largely organized by women's groups who say the premier has hurt their dignity. They also object to the indecent representation of women in newspapers, advertising and on television.
