The Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, has just arrived in Turin to participate in the Provincial Committee for Public Order and Security, accompanied by the Prefect Donato Cafagna and the Police Commissioner Massimo Gambino. From 2.30 pm he will attend the meeting in the prefecture with the heads of the police forces and city institutions while Piazza Castello is blocked by mobile units, given the announced protest of the antagonists: "Have you wondered why the center has been armored by vans all morning? - they wrote on their social channels - Piantedosi has pardoned Turin with a visit in view of the next squares against the war cost of living. Turin doesn't want you! Stop police abuse, let's send bring the government home and let's change the future of war that this political class proposes as the only way. Piantedosi, Turin doesn't want you!".
About thirty demonstrators are in front of the police blockade with a banner that reads "True security is making it to the end of the month. Plant yourself bye bye".
Today's meeting in the prefecture will be an opportunity to discuss the latest demonstrations in the city but also those scheduled, starting with the procession called for the fifth consecutive weekend, Saturday afternoon. Announced on social media by the Italia in piazza movement, it has been relaunched in recent days by student collectives and other citizen coordinations, such as "Turin against rearmament", linked to the antagonists of the former Askatasuna social centre. The reasons for the mobilization are always the same: the high cost of living, cuts to healthcare and education, the climate crisis, precarious work and rearmament.
But Saturday's march will not be the last. On Friday evening, at the end of the mobilization which ended with the clashes in Via Roma, the demonstrators have already explained that the protest will continue to the bitter end: "We will continue to take to the streets every Saturday until the fall of this government, Giorgia Meloni must resign. We are only at the beginning of a long season of struggle".
