Truck blockades at motorway tollgates around Caserta were removed, but fuel and food supplies in the province were still reported to be recovering slowly, with reduced availability at service areas and supermarkets.
Where the blocks were removed
Il Mattino reported that blocks were removed at the Caserta Nord, Caserta Sud, Santa Maria Capua Vetere and Caianello motorway tollgates.
Protest presidia at the interporto between Marcianise and Maddaloni remained in place temporarily before being cleared during the day.
The Caserta disruption formed part of a wider truck protest in southern Italy that ANSA linked to road blocks and empty supermarket shelves.
Supplies still disrupted after the roads reopened
Although the tollgate blocks were lifted, supply disruptions continued afterwards in the province of Caserta.
Corriere TV reported that after the blockade reached the Caserta Nord and Caserta Sud exits, supermarket stocks in the province fell sharply. Il Mattino likewise reported reduced availability at service areas and supermarkets following the protests.
The available sources do not establish how quickly fuel and food supplies returned to normal after the blocks were removed, and they do not provide a complete list of affected service stations or supermarkets. Conditions were described as rapidly changing, so the reported situation reflects the time of the original coverage.
Reported government aid package
Il Mattino reported a government support package totalling 175 million euros, divided into 105.2 million euros for road haulage, 60 million euros for agriculture and 10 million euros for fishing.
