450 people have been identified in yesterday's clashes in the Susa Valley during the No TAV protest . This information was learned from qualified sources. More than 120 law enforcement officers were injured, including 58 police officers, 48 Carabinieri, and 20 members of the Guardia di Finanza .

And the No Tav movement claims responsibility for yesterday's demonstration: "A great day of struggle for the Susa Valley . The No Tav movement, fifteen years after the experience of the Free Republic of La Maddalena and since July 3rd, has once again demonstrated that it has the strength to reach out to those places where devastation is the order of the day. All construction sites in the valley were reached and protested, and the measures planned by law enforcement were circumvented and overturned thanks to the determination of the many generations who took to the streets today."

Approximately 20,000 people attended yesterday's demonstration. Several hundred hooded protesters, armed with Molotov cocktails, firecrackers, rockets, and stones, launched a full-scale assault on the construction sites of San Didero and, especially, Chiomonte , which were guarded by law enforcement. The group attacked on multiple fronts, following a well-organized strategy, giving rise to a veritable guerrilla war that lasted over an hour. They are the opponents of the so-called "Black Bloc," descendants of the Black Blocs who, among other things, were involved in the violent clashes during the 2001 G8 summit in Genoa. It wasn't just Italians—in fact, there were many French in particular—but also Spanish and Germans .

The statement continues: "From Mattarella to Salvini, the institutional spectrum expressed itself in the hours that followed. Solidarity with the police and narratives that paint the No Tav movement as 'the rotten fruit of the left' represent the narrowness that embodies today's political options. The substantial difference with those who waste words calling those actively participating in building a better world troublemakers and hoodlums is that these politicians attempt, in a sketchy and at times authoritarian manner, to address the rotten fruits of their crisis, willy-nilly; we are building, step by step, the possibility of putting an end to injustice and exploitation. Politicians of all stripes," the No Tav movement concludes, "must come to terms with it; the Tav has once again become central to their concerns. The Asterix village they thought they had defeated is more alive and combative than ever, and today it has decisively defeated them. It will be tough!", they conclude with the movement's now historic motto in dialect.
