Truck blockades, Urso: "Viminale is identifying truck drivers." Lollobrigida: "Check criminal records"

The Italian government is taking a firm stance against truckers' blockades on the A1 highway. Minister Adolfo Urso announced that the Interior Ministry is identifying truck drivers involved in the protests, which are deemed illegal as they obstruct traffic. Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida expressed concern over the impact of these blockades on the transport of fresh goods from the South to the North, suggesting that some protest leaders may have questionable backgrounds. Confindustria Campania's president, Emilio De Vizia, acknowledged the truckers' grievances but criticized the disruptive methods of protest, urging for government intervention and dialogue to resolve the situation without harming the economy.
