Pro-Palestine Marchers Breach Turin’s Porta Susa Before Police Block Access to Platforms

The unrest fed into local politics as a Milan councillor moved to put a suspension of the city’s twinning with Israel to a vote next week.

Overview

  • After setting off from Piazza Castello, the march tried to enter Turin’s Porta Nuova station, clashed with police, and then continued along corso Bolzano to Porta Susa.
  • A group managed to force entry into Porta Susa, but officers stationed on the stairways prevented them from reaching the train platforms.
  • Police carried out brief crowd‑dispersal charges following reports that stones and bottles were thrown at their cordon.
  • Protest banners in Turin read “Ancora bombe su Gaza, nessuna tregua per voi,” while a Milan demonstration displayed slogans rejecting a truce and accusing Israel of ongoing attacks.
  • In Milan, Europa Verde councillor Carlo Monguzzi said he filed a motion to immediately suspend the city’s twinning with Israel and asked for it to be discussed on Monday.
