First the camping ban in the entire territories of Susa and Bussoleno, then the No Tav activists who moved to Venaus, then a new ordinance to ban camping in Venaus too .
The prefect is forced to work overtime to block the camping initiative announced today and for three days by No Tav activists together with representatives of the Askatasuna social centre .
The first ordinance issued by Turin Prefect Donato Carfagna prohibits "free camping throughout the entire Susa and Bussoleno area from midnight on Thursday, July 30th until 7 a.m. on Monday, August 3rd." It specifies that "prior notification is dispensed with, given the urgent need to protect public order and safety."
The prefect's orders were displayed on a street sign.
The activists then regrouped and moved to Venaus, where the march that led to the attack on the Chiomonte construction site and the police began last Saturday .
Thus, the prefect immediately thereafter issued a new ordinance that provides for the same ban on free camping throughout the municipality of Venaus until 7 a.m. on Monday, August 3.
The ordinance cites the presence at the Venaus campsite last Saturday of "hundreds of participants belonging to the extremist wing of the No TAV movement and anarchist groups." On that occasion, it adds, the approximately 7,000 marchers, after leaving the Venaus municipality and walking to State Road 25, split into two groups: the first, consisting of approximately 1,000 protesters, headed towards the Susa plain, where the two TAV construction sites, Traduerivi and San Didero, are located. Over 2,000 protesters reached the municipality of Giagione and took the Gallo Romano trail, heading for the Chiomonte TAV construction site. During the journey, several hundred protesters disguised themselves and, once they reached the Chiomonte basin, repeatedly attacked the TAV construction site, causing extensive damage to the structures and numerous injuries to police officers. At the end of the violent attacks - it is underlined - the troublemakers returned to the camp set up in Venaus".
