The No TAV demonstration in Val di Susa resulted in violent clashes, which have resulted in the identification of 436 individuals, many of whom are from France, Germany, and Belgium. Over 140 injuries have been reported, and law enforcement has confiscated a substantial quantity of Molotov cocktails, helmets, pyrotechnics, improvised explosives, and gas masks. TELT, the company responsible for constructing the Turin–Lyon high-speed railway, estimated damage to the Chiomonte construction site at around €1 million, warning that clearing debris and restoring tunnel operations would take considerable time. In contrast, protest organizers, who claim that approximately 20,000 people attended, have issued a statement calling the day "a great victory in the struggle", reiterating their intention to continue fighting the project.
