Road haulage, further truck blockades in Puglia, Campania and Calabria

From the Executive, an immediate commitment of 480 million with the promise of reaching over a billion euros, and a second discussion table already set at the MIT for 27 October, but the road hauliers' blockades continue in Calabria, Puglia and Campania. However, in Sicily, the trucks of the Sicilian Transporters' Committee (Cts) are lifted, and to give a "signal of openness to the Government" they accepted the request to remove the still ongoing safeguards made yesterday by the Minister of Transport Matteo Salvini after the face-to-face meeting with the transporters.

Still protests at toll booths in Campania, distributors and supermarkets run dry

Protests are still active at the Nola motorway toll booth, Avellino Est (where farmers are also protesting), Mercato San Severino (Salerno), but also in Caianello, Capua, Caserta Nord. Therefore, in Campania, at least until the end of the month, the blockade of hauliers continues, demonstrating against the high cost of fuel, considering the measures promised yesterday by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport to be insufficient. There are already inconveniences on the road system, also due to the bad weather in Campania (orange weather alert), in the Neapolitan area and in the Caserta area.

Last night the Volturno Autonomous Body (Eav) announced the cut in road services from today until at least 24 October when the metro and trains could stop due to the lack of fuel available and sea transport to Ischia and Procida remains at risk. Cuts to travel also in sight for Air Campania. In the meantime, the psychosis among citizens is fueled: more and more petrol stations are reported to be running dry, with long queues at the pumps with fuel reserves especially in Naples and supermarkets with empty shelves are also multiplying, due to a lack of fresh products. Asia is reported to be in difficulty with waste recovery.
