Italy protests result in over 60 injuries
Italy experienced violent protests against the construction of a high-speed railway line between Turin and Lyon, with approximately 20,000 demonstrators participating. The protests resulted in injuries to more than 60 police officers. The protesters attacked construction sites using stones, fireworks, and Molotov cocktails, setting four police vehicles on fire, despite police efforts to disperse them with water hoses and tear gas. As a result, train services between Bussoleno and Borgone were suspended, and a portion of the highway was closed. It is confirmed that the project, which connects Lyon and Turin through a 57.5-kilometer tunnel and costs over 26 billion euros, faces significant resistance from demonstrators.
