Centre-left barred from Turin council in pro-TAV move

(ANSA) - Turin, October 29 - Centre-left councillors were expelled from the Turin council room after protesting in favour of a high-speed rail (TAV) line from Turin to Lyon on Monday.
    The anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) majority is set to vote against the TAV line.
    Among those expelled was former Turin mayor and Democratic Party (PD) bigwig Piero Fassino who said it was the first time he had been expelled.
    M5S national leader, Deputy Premier and Industry and Labour Minister Luigi Di Maio, said earlier that "renegotiating" the link was in the government contract with the anti-migrant Euroskeptic League, which is however in favour of completing the project.
