* protest: ex-Ilva workers are protesting, causing road blocks and demonstrations in Genoa, Italy.The protest resumed on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, after disruptions on Tuesday including blocking the motorway and airport access.
* Road Closures (as of Dec 3,2025):
* Guido Rossa road was blocked at 8:45 am,also closed towards the airport toll booth.
* Piazza Savio was blocked. Eastbound traffic on Strada Guido Rossa from Piazza Savio was closed. Westbound traffic had an exit closed on Piazza Savio, but was open towards the airport toll booth.
* Earlier in the morning (6 am), Guido Rossa road was open eastbound, but closed westbound from the Genoa Airport toll booth.
* Strike: A general strike by all metalworkers is planned for Thursday, December 4, 2025, in support of the Ilva workers.
* Key Concerns: The protesters are demanding the withdrawal of a “short plan” for the Ilva plant, the arrival of materials (not just for tin, but for other productions), and are fighting to save the Genoa plant.
* Government Response: Regional President Bucci stated funds are available for the plant’s future, but European law prevents their use becuase the company is under governance. He also guaranteed no job losses or redundancies before February 2026, when the second blast furnace in Taranto is expected to be operational.
* Union Perspective: Nicola Appice (Fim Cisl) stated that despite two days of strikes and demonstrations, “not a thing has moved” and the protest will continue. He expressed disappointment with Bucci’s lack of positive news.
