New clashes in the center of Milan, Meloni calls a security summit

Second round of urban guerrilla warfare in Milan where hundreds of very young people first met in Piazza Duomo and then moved in a climate of strong tension to Via Torino. Some shop windows, rubbish bins and outdoor bar tables pay the price. Many shops have lowered their shutters. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has called a meeting dedicated to public order issues for tomorrow, in light of the clashes of recent days.

The day after the clashes during the demonstration against the high cost of living, hundreds of young people, divided into small groups of 10 or 20, mostly dressed in black and some with their faces covered, gathered in Piazza del Duomo, also spreading through the streets of the centre. 50 have already been stopped for identification and taken to the police station. In the square there are several police cars and officers in riot gear.

The epicenter of the tensions is via Torino, where the protesters broke the windows of a Carrefour supermarket and entered to loot it. They came out with bottles of alcohol, throwing food onto the street. The young people also targeted baskets, scooters, mopeds and bicycles. The outdoor areas of the premises were not spared: many tables were thrown onto the street, and several umbrellas were destroyed.
