Taranto blockades at the Eni refinery and steelworks removed, while other protests continue

Metalworkers’ unions removed the blockade of State Road 106 and the one outside the steelworks in Taranto. The related disruption linked to the ex-Ilva strike is reported differently in the two source headlines. Separate blockades connected to spontaneous protests by hauliers and farmers remain in place.

RADARPOLITICO ANALYSIS

What is happening

The metalworkers’ unions ended the blockade of State Road 106 with immediate effect. The blockade outside the steelworks was also removed. The sources state that blockades linked to spontaneous protests by hauliers and farmers were not interrupted. One headline says the ex-Ilva strike was stopped, while the other says it would stop at 23:00.

Why it is on the Radar

The reported removals reduce the blockades directly associated with the metalworkers’ action in Taranto. Disruptions in southern Italy remain because protests by hauliers and farmers continue.
