Pro Palestine procession in Milan
G7, Meloni: “There is a bad climate” is worrying in the year of the G7
“There is a climate that I don’t like and worries me, and for which I feel responsible because part of this climate depends on the fact that there is a need to attack myself and this government. It worries me in a particular year, we have the presidency of the G7 will be a very challenging year, which affects our credibility on an international level and I see tones that remind me of very difficult years for our nation”. This is one of the arguments, according to what Ansa understands, expressed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in the meeting with the police unions.
Meloni to the Police Force: “In Pisa checks on errors and abuses, let’s understand together how to improve”
“Minister Piantedosi, in Parliament, and the Chief of Police, have ensured the careful verification of what happened in Pisa, and full collaboration with the judicial authority to highlight errors or abuses. Without prejudice to these investigations, and respecting the autonomy, the purpose of our meeting is to look at the present and the future, and therefore to receive proposals from you on the contribution that the government and, for the government’s initiative part, Parliament can make today to improve the management of “public order. We want to understand what can be done to better manage public order.”
Processions, Meloni to the Police Force: “Unjust denigration campaign against you”
“We felt it was important to convene this meeting, also in light of what has happened in recent months and weeks. As you know, the increase in street demonstrations, especially after the flare-up of the conflict in the Middle East, has led to a more intense commitment, qualitatively and quantitatively, for all of you. In fact, from 7 October to today, there have been more than a thousand street initiatives. Italy, unlike other nations, he did not ban pro-Palestine demonstrations because for us it is essential to guarantee the full right to express any political position. It is a right that must be balanced with respect for the rules that govern it and with the necessary protection of sensitive objectives that are targeted by demonstrators, very often attributable to symbols more of the Jewish religion than of the State of Israel (since even the latter must be defended)”. Thus, as far as we know, the prime minister Giorgia Meloni in the meeting with the police force unions taking place at Palazzo Chigi.
“I would like to remind you, here, that in 97% of events that have taken place in recent months there have been no critical issues. Critical issues were found in only 3% of cases and this demonstrates the excellent management of public order and your ability to protect sensitive sites. These are facts that are right to reiterate and underline, because I believe the systematic campaign of denigration to which you have been subjected is unjust.”
