Meloni announces aid for truckers, says intimidation won't be tolerated

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced a new aid package for truck drivers, farmers, and fishers affected by rising fuel prices. She condemned recent trucker protests that have caused shortages, labeling them as intimidation rather than legitimate protests. Meloni emphasized the need for free movement of goods and pledged to use legal measures to prevent road blockages. The government is committed to supporting peaceful demonstrations while ensuring law enforcement. New funding measures for affected sectors were also approved by the cabinet.
