From Global News.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Milan on Saturday, angered over affordability, housing costs and the impact of the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics on the environment.

The Olympics cap a decade in which Milan has seen a property boom following the 2016 World Expo, with locals seized by soaring living costs, even as Italy’s tax scheme for wealthy new residents draws professionals to the wealthy capital.

A group of approximately 100 protesters broke off from the main demonstration, shooting flares, fireworks and smoke bombs at police.
Police in riot gear and shields responded, using water cannon to disperse the protesters.
