Police forcibly removed
protestors, one by one, away from the entry gates to the work
site in Melendugno, in the southern Puglia region, for a tunnel
for the TAP project on Wednesday. One person suffered a bad turn
and Melendugno Mayor Marco Potì quarrelled with police after
officers told him to move away as he was giving an interview to
a local TV station. Several people were injured Tuesday when
protesters against the removal of olive trees for the
TransAdriatic Pipeline (TAP) clashed with police.
