1/01, Turin, Italy. Violent clashes between protesters and police erupted when over 50,000 people took to the streets in solidarity with the Askatasuna social centre, which was evicted by police on December 18, 2025 after 30 years of activity in the area. Hundreds of riot police and dozens of armoured vehicles created a red zone around the historic social centre of Turin to prevent protesters from reaching it. Part of the protesters, who came from the anarchist and anarchist area, broke away from the march towards the end of the demonstration and headed towards Corso Regina Margherita 47, the headquarters of Aska, where clashes with the police began. The police responded to the throwing of paper bombs, rockets and fireworks with water cannons and smoke bombs. A police van was set on fire, as well as several garbage cans in the area of the clashes, while police officers were beaten by protesters and vice versa. More than 100 police officers were injured during the clashes. Ten people were arrested. Initially there was no information on the number of injured protesters. Arrest warrants have been issued for two people. Askatasuna, which means freedom in Basque, is a centre of political and cultural activity created in 1996 that has hosted hundreds of groups, collectives and operates as a centre of social services and activities in the Vanchiglia district of Turin. On March 25, 2000, it was attacked by a group of neo-fascists. At dawn on December 18, 2025, DIGOS, supported by a huge contingent of police forces, proceeded to evacuate and sieze the Corso Regina building, putting an end to almost thirty years of occupation of the building.
