What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Southern Italian regions, including Basilicata and Calabria, are experiencing supply issues and empty supermarket shelves due to ongoing protests by transport and agriculture workers in the south of Italy. Local producers report difficulty paying bills because the market is flooded with cheaper foreign imports, some of which allegedly do not meet legal specifications. Protests have led to road blockades connecting isolated southern regions and caused plummeting fuel supplies.
