Protests in the cities: devastated workshops in Turin, occupied platforms in Florence and Bologna. Tension in the universities
General strike on Friday 3 October and national parade through Gaza in Rome on Saturday afternoon 4 October under the slogan 'Let's block everything'
Key points
A weekend of fire under the slogan 'Let's block everything'. With the general strike on Friday 3 October and the national parade for Gaza in Rome on Saturday afternoon 4 October. Appointments that were preceded by mobilisations all over Italy, with occupied universities, interrupted lessons and student protests, blocked railway lines, clashes in stations and devastation, such as those in the Officine Grandi Riparazioni in Torino, where Ursula von der Leyen and Jeff Bezos are expected on Friday 3 October: 200 masked people broke down the gates and destroyed doors, chairs and tables before being repelled by the police.
The Global Sumud Flotilla intercepted by the Israeli armed forces is inflaming the squares and putting a strain on the device set up by the Viminale, which has imposed a tightening on permits and licences of the police precisely to ensure a massive presence of agents on the streets in this hot week. And after the attack on a synagogue in Manchester, concern is also rising for the approximately 200 sensitive Jewish targets on the territory, protected by imposing protection measures, such as the Jewish quarter in Rome.

The tension in the universities
.Tensions are high in the universities. In Rome, a procession promoted by student collectives marched from the Sapienza University to the Colosseum. In Milan the State University was occupied, in Lecce that of Salento, in the universities of Bologna and Pisa the Rectorates were blocked. In Padua and Venice classes were interrupted. Also in the capital, tension at the Caravillani art school, which has a shared entrance with a Jewish temple. Three students with megaphones chanted slogans for Palestine and some people who were in the temple walked out. A heated argument ensued, culminating in shoving. Dozens were identified, from both groups.
Transport problems
In Trieste protesters attempted to enter the railway station, smashed some glass but were repelled by the police. They threw objects and bottles at the officers, one policeman fell and slightly injured his hand with glass fragments.
In Florence the tracks of the Santa Maria Novella station are occupied. Rail traffic was suspended in the evening on the Genoa-Rome line near Livorno and Viareggio, and in Bologna, a key junction on the Rome-Milan line, due to the presence of demonstrators on the tracks. In Naples, pro-Pal protesters tried to force a blockade at the entrance to the port, while in Turin, before the assault on the Officine in the evening, a group of protesters blocked the Tangenziale (ring road) while another managed to enter the airport perimeter forcing flights to stop for some twenty minutes.
