The protest of the Pitchfork movement continues, which now aims to close the borders by land. In Liguria, the Via Aurelia was blocked for a few hours at the roundabout in the hamlet of Latte, in Ventimiglia (Imperia), preventing traffic to France. The intervention of the forces of the Order made it possible to restore normal traffic.
There is a "concern" that "all the causes of social unease could lead to a rebellious drift against national and European institutions – said the Minister of the Interior, Angelino Alfano, during a briefing to the Chamber -. Who is in the institutions don't ride the protest. There was a violent front that violated the law: we understand the social unease, but at the same time we have no hesitation in saying that we intend to defend the freedom and safety of citizens. During the protests, 14 police officers were injured and three service vehicles were damaged. 5 arrests made, while 55 people were reported".
Also in Ventimiglia, about 600 people took to the streets to protest against the government. Tension also in Milan, where the movement's protest is blocking the western ring road and a few dozen demonstrators have resumed their garrison in Piazzale Loreto. Meanwhile, a procession of about 150 participants in the pitchfork protest is crossing the historic center of Florence.
