"Risk of paralysis in cities." Alarming signals from southern Italy

Transporters in Italy are protesting due to rising fuel costs, causing significant disruptions on major roads. The protest, organized by the Fedralog federation, will continue until October 27. In regions like Campania and Calabria, trucks have blocked roads, leading to shortages of essential goods in stores. The government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, plans to discuss aid for truck drivers and farmers. Local mayors warn of potential waste crises in cities like Naples and Bari. The government is prepared to take stricter measures against protesters if necessary.
