The 'October 17 Movement' announces a permanent mobilization, Meloni calls a security summit

"Permanent mobilization every Saturday. Until the fall of this thieving government": the 17 October Movement announces it via social media, meeting every Saturday at 3pm in various Italian squares, starting from Milan.

"We are those from the squares. Those who see the only violence in the truncheon of the cops" explains the description of the newly created page on Instagram, which invites you to join a Telegram group.

"The violent ones are you who denied us the future, now we'll take that future" we read in a post where the managers of the page add: "We reject all accusations against the sender. This system that kills us is violent."

Among the few posts on the newly formed page, there is also a video where some of the kids who looted the shops in the center of Milan donate their loot to a homeless person, with the words 'Proletarian expropriation in Milan'.

"Is it the first time you go to a demonstration and are you afraid of what could happen? Here you will find some useful information and practical advice" reads the 'non-exhaustive pocket guide to street demonstrations (for beginners)' 'Safer in the street' designed to give "practical advice and useful information on repression and collective reaction" and distributed in the chats of the '17 October movement' group, with the invitation to print and share the flyer during the riots.

"Experience, preparation and information - we read in the flyer - are not always available to those who participate in street events, which is why it is important to make sure that the culture is spread. Knowing the possibilities and risks as best as possible allows us to build together and live these moments of conflict as best as possible, regardless of what form they take".

Among the tips "Avoid arriving or leaving the event 'in full gear', you can't know who is around you outside of safe spaces"; "It often happens that the police monitor streets, train stations, motorway exits to identify or search those who want to participate or leave the mobilization. Arrive early and avoid the motorway exits or stations closest to the meeting points."

And finally: "Do not dissociate yourself from those who act differently from you. No one should ask you to do things that you do not want to do or for which you feel intolerable discomfort, the methods and means are always questionable and it is right to criticize them, but dissociating and distancing yourself, especially publicly, only helps repression".

Prime Minister Meloni calls a meeting for today and promises 'new tools' to stem 'those who sow chaos'. The hypothesis is an intervention like the Caivano decree. Piantedosi meets the leaders of the Police and the Police Commissioner of Milan. The League is pushing for preventive detention also for minors. Fi suggests a CDM in Milan.

'The violence should not be an alibi to cover up peaceful protests,' says Schlein.

The toll from yesterday's clashes in Milan is 14 injured law enforcement workers and 271 people accompanied to the police station, according to police sources.

Of the 271 brought to the police station, 220 are minors, 60 foreigners; 32 were arrested (13 foreigners, 23 minors) and 28 reported (15 foreigners, 23 minors). 174 were held under preventive detention.
