What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

ILVA workers blocked the Eni refinery in Taranto starting October 12. Simultaneously, truckers and farmers near Foggia blocked roads. This disruption cut fuel deliveries, causing over 150 Enilive stations in Puglia to run dry and leading to empty grocery shelves in areas like San Severo and the Gargano. The Taranto blockade lifted on October 16, but truckers remained out in parts of the South through October 20.

The combined labor actions and road blockades caused a rapid supply chain failure, affecting both fuel distribution and fresh food delivery across Southern Italy. The disruption impacted Eni's operations and its subsidiary Enilive's ability to supply fuel to regions like Calabria. The situation highlighted the vulnerability of regional supply chains to transport blockades and labor actions.
