It could be hot on Friday in Italy: a nationwide strike has been announced and there will also be protests

A nationwide strike is set for Friday in Italy, coinciding with student protests in Milan and Rome. The strike, organized by the USB union, will disrupt various sectors including transportation and healthcare, protesting against rising living costs and government policies. Authorities have heightened security in Milan to prevent disruptions, especially around the Colosseum and Forum Romanum. The interior minister has warned of potential violence, following recent unrest linked to protests. The situation is tense due to the release of a suspect connected to previous protests, raising concerns about safety during the demonstrations.
