Police charge protestors in Turin, use water cannons

In Turin, police confronted protesters using water cannons after students and left-wing activists attempted to breach a security cordon. This protest was part of a nationwide general strike organized by the USB union, addressing issues like the cost of living and government policies. The demonstrations were heavily policed due to recent violent incidents during protests in various Italian cities. Previous riots in Milan and violent protests in Turin, Rome, and Bologna heightened concerns about public safety during these events.
