Across the continent of Europe the people are taking direct action in an attempt protect themselves, the attack on the onrdinary people comes from all sides of the corporate fascism that we live under. While the social fabric of our lives is being torn assunder by "austerity cuts", our future is being plundered by the bargain basement sale of our public assets in the biggest asset stripping exercise of modern times. As the corporate world expands its empire it will move everything and everybody out of the way and in lots of cases it is a case of bulldozing people off their land with disasterous results, as was this case in Italy.

Widespread acts of resistance are taking place across Italy triggered by the near murderous actions of the police in Val Susa.A summary of the latest events - Baita Clarea is an area in Val Susa where works for the implementation of the TAV were due to start soon. On Monday 27th February the forces of order proceeded to evict and expropriate the land in Baita Clarea in order to clear the way for the devastating high speed railway works. On the same day Luca Abba’, a resident of the Val Susa whose land was also expropriated, climbed a pylon in an attempt to block the ongoing military operation. The cops ordered Luca to come down without taking precautions for his safety, pushing him even higher and failing to cut off the electricity of the pylon. As a result, Luca was electrocuted and fell several metres below. Rescue was delayed by cordons of antiriot cops but finally Luca was taken to hospital by helicopter. He is now out of danger although his conditions remain very serious.
Barricades were set up by NO TAV people in the area, which has been declared a ‘strategic site of national interest’.
Protests and blockages are being organized all over Italy.
