Upsetting for those particular migrants maybe, but one has to sympathise with the residents of this small populated Italian town, after all they can't be by any stretch of the imagination 'Far-Right knuckle dragging thugs'.
Possibly the bit where it says 'Gorino itself has a population of only around 500, though some protesters are thought to have come from the larger neighbouring town of Gore.'
The amount is unspecific tho so the words 'many' and 'most' must be speculative.
