An afternoon march in Milan opposing the 2026 Winter Olympics turned confrontational Saturday night, as a portion of the crowd clashed with police near the city’s Olympic Village. Thousands of demonstrators from Milan, Lombardy, and other parts of northern Italy had joined the protest, organized by a group called the Unsustainable Olympics Committee. Participants criticized the environmental impact of new Olympic infrastructure, CNN reports, and what they describe as the broader economic and social costs of the Milano-Cortina Games.
