Italy: Farmers plan to demonstrate in central Naples July 26

Farmers plan to demonstrate at the Campania regional government offices in Naples, from 09:00 July 26. Organizers are demanding that the government takes action against the increase in wild boar numbers, and to raise awareness of crop damage caused by the animals. Agricultural group leaders expect that several thousand will take part.

Authorities will likely deploy heightened security to the protest site. Localized transport disruptions are possible. Participants may drive tractors to the location; further transport disruptions are possible on highways entering Naples in the morning and leaving in the afternoon as tractors slow the flow of traffic. The event will likely pass off peacefully.
