No Tav without outside support, cancel the fight night

In the Val di Susa region, approximately 50 'No Tav' activists remain gathered at the protest site in Venaus after the recent clashes and police interventions. The movement has canceled its planned 'night of resistance' but plans to resume activities at 10 AM on Sunday morning. Following violent confrontations at the high-speed rail construction site in Chiomonte, which resulted in over a million euros in damages and 124 injured officers, authorities issued several decrees banning camping, marches, and possession of certain protective gear. Despite these restrictions, the protesters have adapted by setting up a large tent with Palestinian colors on private land. They continue organizing discussions and projections under surveillance, expressing their intent to challenge the authorities' siege and shift public perception. The group is calling for more supporters to join them, noting a decline in local support compared to previous demonstrations.

The No Tav rise up and claim: But as Black Bloc, we are all responsible

The Italian anti-TAV movement 'No Tav' has issued a statement rejecting claims that they were responsible for violent incidents during recent protests. In a conference in Venaus, Guido Fissore, a member of the movement, criticized mainstream media for perpetuating a false narrative that divides protesters into 'peaceful Valligiani' and 'violent Black Blocs.' He argued that thousands participated in the march toward Chiomonte and that all involved share responsibility for the events. Fissore emphasized that while not everyone threw stones, entering the construction site was a shared action, and he rejected the portrayal of the group as aggressors.

The prefect of Turin stops the No-Tav, a camp forbidden in Susa and Bussoleno.

The prefect of Turin, Donato Cafagna, issued an ordinance banning 'free camping activities' in the territories of Susa and Bussoleno from Thursday, July 30, at midnight until Monday, August 3, at 7 AM. The ban was justified by urgent needs to protect public order and safety, specifically referencing a planned camping event by No Tav activists and members of the former center-social Askatasuna. While the camping site in Traduerivi, Susa, is currently unoccupied by No Tav activists, police are stationed at the entrance. The movement has relocated the campsite to Venaus, but authorities have ordered its removal. Despite this, some activists remain at the site, which is now patrolled by anti-protest units. The No Tav group has confirmed their plans for future actions, including a press conference.
