Police in Turin Clash with Protesters in Via Po

Police in Turin repelled protesters in Via Po amid high tensions, with some hooded individuals present in the square. The clash followed an attempt by demonstrators to march toward Via Pietro Micca. Protesters voiced solidarity with striking truck drivers in southern Italy, calling them heroes for continuing mobilization. Speakers also criticized government spending on rearmament and war instead of schools and universities, with one declaring opposition to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government. Over 200 students marched from Piazza Arbarello to Piazza Castello under banners like "Money for schools, not war." Separately, police placed an Askatasuna activist under house arrest for involvement in recent clashes, including an October 17 anti-cost-of-living protest.
