Italian cities, including Milan, Turin, and Bologna, witnessed clashes between demonstrators and security forces during protests over the rising cost of living—extending a wave of protests that erupted in France—resulting in 25 injuries in Milan, including 10 police officers, and the detention of dozens of people across the three cities.
​In Milan, a march launched in protest against the economic crisis turned into clashes on Broletto Street and downtown, particularly in Piazza del Duomo, where police used tear gas, water cannons, and high-pressure hoses to disperse the crowds. Meanwhile, protesters pelted security forces with firecrackers, fireworks, stones, and various objects, including garbage bins and metal barriers.
​The events resulted in 25 people being transferred to various hospitals, including 10 police officers, none of whose conditions were deemed critical. Authorities announced the arrest of 50 people in Milan, half of them minors, following the disturbances that extended to the vicinity of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
​In Turin, clashes lasting about an hour broke out, involving masked youths who hurled bottles, sticks, and stones at security forces. Police arrested 12 people, including 10 minors, who were found in possession of incendiary bottles, firecrackers, pieces of stone, and glass-breaking hammers, while some are suspected of involvement in acts of vandalism, and competent authorities are continuing to examine their files.
