The Interior Ministry: 'A device is in place to isolate violent people in demonstrations'

A "comprehensive device will be put in place to protect the right to demonstrate peacefully, guarantee the safety of the entire community, isolating those who take to the streets only to create disorder and commit violence". This is what emerges from the videoconference meeting chaired by the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, with the prefects, police commissioners and heads of the police forces of all the regional capitals, in view of the marches announced for tomorrow, the day of the general strike called by the grassroots unions. During the meeting - underlines the Interior Ministry - an in-depth analysis of the street demonstrations scheduled for the weekend was shared. In particular, "the scenarios that could arise in the most sensitive areas of the cities affected by possible protests and mobilizations were analysed.

The police forces, together with the reinforcements made available by the Interior Ministry and coordinated by the provincial public security authorities, will guarantee widespread coverage of the territory for the management of the numerous scheduled events" assures the Interior Ministry. During the meeting, Minister Piantedosi renewed his appreciation for the commitment of all law enforcement operators who, even in recent weeks, "as always done in the past, have once again demonstrated the ability to manage very complex situations with intelligence, professionalism and balance".
