Where unrest was reported

Some demonstrations against living costs and government policies in Italy led to clashes with police. Son Dakika reports burning barricades near Milan’s Duomo and police use of water cannon and tear gas. Incidents were also reported in Bologna and Turin.

Meloni’s response

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed respect for peaceful demonstrations while condemning attacks on security personnel. She urged opposition parties to reject the violence explicitly. Aydınlık’s report also carries her statement that Bologna railway station had been closed as a precaution.

Background and the next step

Son Dakika says the CGIL-led march in Rome ended peacefully and the union announced a national strike for November 20. Demonstrations in different cities should not all be described as equally violent.
