Italy protests lead to clashes and arrests
Violent clashes erupted in the Italian cities of Milan and Bologna between police forces and protesters, protesting against rising living costs and deteriorating purchasing power. Security forces used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the protesters, and at least seven people were arrested in Bologna, where the protests turned into acts of violence and direct confrontations. In Milan, police fired tear gas after being pelted with stones, and a group of masked individuals attempted to attack the "Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II" shopping complex, leading to store closures, tourist departures, and injuries on both sides. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni emphasized the right to protest but condemned turning cities into battlegrounds. These events come as part of a wave of European protests against the high cost of living and worsening economic conditions.
