Thousands of people protested in Italy after the government gave the green light to a new high-speed train line between Turin, Italy, and Lyon, France, which has been under construction for years. The high-speed train line project, which has been under construction for years, between Turin, Italy, and Lyon, France, was protested.

The Italian government sent a letter to the European Union authorities stating its commitment to the project, and the demonstrators took to the streets. The march started in the Susa Valley, which is on the route of the line. From time to time, there were clashes between the demonstrators and the security forces.

The protesters threw stones and sound bombs, but security officers responded with tear gas. The controversial issue is the 57-kilometer tunnel on the new line that will shorten the travel time between Turin and Lyon. It is claimed that the tunnel will be both costly and will have negative effects on human health due to the uranium and asbestos resources on the route it will pass through.
