Scuffles broke out between policemen and striking transport workers who at about 11.30 a.m. ran up Glormu Cassar Avenue and protested outside the Auberge de Castille.

The drivers mouthed obscenities at the government and protested that liberalisation policies would ruin them. At one time the drivers broke through the thin blue line of policemen and ran up the steps of Castille, banging on the closed door.
