Protests by truck drivers in southern Italy are easing as the government allocates €175 million in aid to address rising diesel prices. Blockades disrupted food and fuel transport, leading to shortages in supermarkets and hospitals. While some regions have lifted blockades, others continue until negotiations on October 27. The aid package includes €105 million for truckers, €60 million for agriculture, and €10 million for fishing. The government is escorting trucks to ensure essential supplies reach their destinations. The protests have severely impacted the supply of mozzarella and other products, with significant economic losses reported.
