Turin market traders block street in lockdown protest - General news - ANSAMed
Turin market traders on Wednesday blocked street in the Piedmont capital in a protest against their prolonged closure due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The protest came a day after an anti-lockdown protest by hospitality operators outside parliament in Rome turned violent with one police officer hospitalised and seven people arrested including rightist militants.
It also came a day after market traders blocked a motorway near Caserta causing hours-long gridlock.
Mask-less protests against COVID-linked closures and calling for reopenings have become more frequent in Italy recently as a second round of government economic support measures has been delayed.
In Turin Wednesday the traders were joined by several shopowners, including some whose shops are open.
