Confcommercio, over half a million euros in damages in Milan

The first estimate of the damage to shops and premises caused in yesterday's clashes in the center of Milan is over half a million euros. This was explained by the general secretary of Confcommercio Milano, Marco Barbieri, speaking of "strong concern because such a situation had never been seen".

"In the central area the estimate is over five hundred thousand euros in damage and lost income because the shops had to close at 5pm" he told ANSA. "There is concern for the future, because what is highlighted is a situation of social hardship - he added - but also trust in the institutions. Everyone must do their part".
