Mario Ciaccia, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure in Italy, answers these claims:

There were clashes between the police and the police, who wanted to protest the preliminary work started in the Susa Valley last summer.
40 people were suspected of having links with these demonstrations recently.
The 8.5 billion-euro tunnel project is funded by Italy, France and the European Union, while the line is expected to be opened in 2023.
The line between 7 and 4 will be bridged between Paris and Turin.
