Hauliers staged roadside sit-ins along Via Marina in Naples in a protest linked to high fuel costs, slowing traffic without fully blocking it.
The heavy vehicles pulled over to one side of the road, allowing cars to continue passing. The action centered on the final stretch of Via Marina toward the motorway ramps, where a long line of trucks formed.
The protest took place while a meeting was expected in Milan between Minister Matteo Salvini and representatives of the haulage sector.
Slower traffic, moments of tension
Circulation through the area was slowed but not completely stopped. There were moments of tension when some demonstrators tried to halt truck drivers who were not joining the protest, and police intervened.
No verified information is available on how long the sit-ins lasted or when traffic returned to normal.
Supply concerns for Ischia and Procida
The protest was creating difficulties for fuel and food supplies on the islands of Ischia and Procida.
Ferry operator Caremar asked the Prefecture of Naples and the Campania Region for an emergency plan to safeguard supplies and avoid possible interruptions to maritime connections. It is not confirmed whether ferry services were actually suspended.
