Southern Italy truckers ease protests as government approves aid
The package adds €106 million in tax credits and direct aid as roadblocks ease and essential deliveries resume in the south.
- Truck drivers in southern Italy began easing their protests after the government approved new financial aid and reached agreements with transport representatives to lift or suspend road blockades in several regions.
- Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's cabinet added €106 million in tax credits for truckers, raising total support for the sector to €540 million, while also allocating funds for farmers and fisheries.
- The protests, driven by soaring diesel prices, caused major disruptions to fuel, food, and medical supplies, particularly in Campania, where hospitals and emergency services faced logistical challenges.
- Manufacturers of buffalo mozzarella, pasta, tomato products, and automaker Stellantis were forced to halt or reduce operations because transport blockades interrupted deliveries of raw materials and components.
- The government also arranged police escorts for essential deliveries and warned that intimidation or violence against drivers returning to work would not be tolerated as authorities worked to restore normal supply chains.
