Italy releases €480M in trucker aid, but southern protests persist

noticiassin.com (Spanish) —

Italy released 480 million euros in pending aid for truckers to ease the fuel price crisis, but protests continue in the south. The announcement followed a Milan meeting led by Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini. The funds cover requests received through August, with additional resources identified, though some September-October compensation via tax credits will only materialize in 2027. Strikes persist in southern regions until an October 27 government meeting. Sicilian truckers revoked their strike but remain on alert. Fuel and fresh food shortages have spread from Taranto to Basilicata, Calabria, and Naples, with empty supermarket shelves and gas stations reporting depleted supplies.
