The national protest of taxi drivers also reaches Turin. Over three hundred, with their white cars, gathered under the Skyscraper Piedmont headquarters of the Region in Turin after leaving in a caravan from the car parks of theAllianz Stadium. Then they traveled on the ring road, in Corso Settembrini, in Corso Traiano and finally they reached the skyscraper, in via Nizza. The protest, which began at 8am and will end at 10pm, concerns what the taxi drivers define as “the illegitimate use of authorizations for rental cars with drivers”, the Ncc.
The taxi drivers’ unions ask the government to intervene and give clear answers, including on the role of multinationals and «the risk of a return of Uber on city streets.” Most of the registered slogans are against Uber. Signing the abstention from work are the acronyms Fast-Confsal taxi, Satam, Tam, Usb-taxi, Unica-Filt Cgil, Claai, Uritaxi, Uti, Unimpresa, Orsa-taxi, Ugl-taxi, Federtaxi-Cisal, Sitan Atn, Artisans Union.
A delegation of Turin taxi drivers went to Rome where the demonstration blocked part of the center and also saw the use of smoke bombs and paper bombs. .
