18.12.2025 โ‡ข The Day the Askatasuna Eviction Led to Clashes
โŒจThe day began with a wave of headlines covering President Trumpโ€™s address to the nation, where he framed the current economic state as a "disaster" inherited from his predecessor while promising a 2026 boom. By mid-morning, editorial attention shifted to the European Council, focusing on the high-stakes debate over seizing frozen Russian assets. While leaders like Donald Tusk urged immediate action, citing a choice between "money today or blood tomorrow," legal and political divisions remained prominent.
In the early afternoon, the domestic narrative was dominated by the police raid and forceful eviction of the Askatasuna social center in Turin. Editors tracked the escalating violence as protesters used fireworks against police, resulting in ten injured officers and the mayor declaring the cityโ€™s "pact" with the collective void.
By evening, a significant political fracture emerged within the Italian government. The Lega party threatened to block the budget law following a disagreement with the Ministry of Economy (Mef) over pension reform windows, marking a day of deep internal coalition friction.
