Procession in Milan, throwing stones at the police. Some injured and arrested. Riots in Bologna

A heavy stone-throwing started in the direction of the police in via Broletto, in the center of Milan, near via San Tomaso where the "Italia in piazza" procession involving over five thousand demonstrators was blocked. The police in riot gear carried out a lightening charge. The procession broke in two, and groups of young people headed towards Via Bossi. ATM shelters and windows on the first floors of some historic buildings were damaged. Some paper bombs and fireworks were thrown. There is a lot of confusion even among kids.

New double face-to-face contact between protesters and agents in via Broletto, in the center of Milan, where the demonstration called by Italia in Piazza was blocked. The police responded with a double charge that was brief but more decisive than the previous one. Some bruised people were seen in the stampede. Tables uprooted, a photographer slightly injured.

New police officers, in via Broletto in Milan. Some boys who were cursing at the police were injured on the ground, fortunately slightly. Everyone got up, some more battered. An undercover officer wounded in the head was jeered as he was being rescued. The demonstrators threw paper bombs at the police forces who were caught on two sides as the march was broken in two and did not appear in large numbers. The tension remains. Some boys were stopped and identified. The Police are slowly pushing back what was the head of the procession towards Piazza Cordusio.

Clashes also occurred in front of the Bologna station between young demonstrators and the police. In Piazza Medaglie d'Oro, water cannons and tear gas were used and there was a lot of throwing of stones and objects by hooded children. Dozens of Mobikes, rental bicycles, have been thrown to the ground. The air is acrid and the protest, from the square in front of the station, is moving towards the surrounding avenues with the use of water cannons and tear gas towards the central Via Indipendenza.
