Overview
- Prosecutors in Milan opened inquiries after hours of clashes at Stazione Centrale, with three protesters arrested on charges including aggravated damage and resistance, and two minors under investigation.
- Police say roughly 60 officers were injured in Milan, 23 taken to hospital, after a violent fringe tried to force its way into the station and toward the tracks.
- Scientific police are reviewing extensive video to identify further suspects, after eight people were taken to the Questura for identification in the immediate aftermath.
- While more than 80 rallies drew large, largely peaceful crowds nationwide, disruptions included a Rome ring road blockade and Sapienza occupation, an A14 shutdown in Bologna with four arrests, port actions in Genoa and Livorno, and brief track invasions in Turin and Naples.
- Political leaders broadly condemned the violence; Vice Premier Matteo Salvini proposed cash deposits for march organizers, while figures including Milan’s mayor urged rapid identifications and opposition leaders cautioned against eclipsing peaceful protests.
