Calabria transport sector protests

Overview

Truck drivers and transport organizations in Calabria have initiated strikes and road blockades to protest rising fuel costs and unsustainable operating conditions. The organization Fedralog extended the strike through October 27, citing insufficient government measures. While the government proposed an economic support package of up to 1 billion euros, protesters argued these were existing allocations rather than new funds.

Logistical disruptions occurred at the Gioia Tauro motorway junction and on the SS 106 highway, impacting local sectors such as fruit and vegetable production. Following mediation by regional and local authorities, heavy vehicles were removed from the SS 106 highway in the Crotone area to ensure local supplies could continue. However, protesters maintained their demands for a fixed fuel price, tax relief, and the reactivation of the Transport Cost Observatory, warning that mobilization would resume if a meeting with the Minister of Infrastructure on October 27 fails to yield concrete results.
