Violent Protests Over Living Costs in Milan Lead to Clashes and Detentions
Protests against rising living costs and wars in Milan escalated into violence, with rioters clashing with police, looting stores, and setting fires. Authorities used water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds, detaining around 50 demonstrators and injuring at least two officers. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the violence while affirming the right to peaceful protest. Milan's mayor acknowledged the protest's causes but rejected the violence. Similar unrest occurred in other Italian cities amid broader European demonstrations.
