Injunction in Milan: “Slap”

Particular situation in Milan, where the prefect has in fact precluded the ATM employees while the workers of Trenord, which deals with the regional railway service, will be able to join the initiative launched at a national level by CGIL and UIL. Nothing to be done, therefore, for the strike of the Transport Company which was scheduled from 8pm to midnight. There were two main reasons that convinced the prefect Claudio Sgaraglia, after a meeting of the Committee for Order and Security, to sign the order: the summit scheduled the day after tomorrow in the city with the presence of the G7 Transport ministers and then the match first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals between Milan and Roma which will be held at San Siro and which is expected to attract more than 70 thousand spectators. The injunction, explained the Prefecture, was therefore necessary “to avoid inconveniences to the mobility of citizens, in conjunction” with these two events “of particular complexity in terms of public order and safety”.
