Health pass protest continues at Italian port despite police water cannon, tear gas
The Peninsula
TRIESTE, Italy- Italian police used water cannon and tear gas on Monday in an attempt to clear a sit-in at the port of Trieste, where opponents of the government's mandatory COVID-19 health pass have tried to block access.
The northeastern port has been the focal point of protest in Italy over the introduction of new rules last Friday that require all workers either to show proof of vaccination, a negative coronavirus test or recent recovery from infection.
Police in full riot gear moved in on Monday morning after several hundred dock workers disrupted access to one of the main gates at Italy's largest commercial port.
