AI-generated summary
Thousands of Italian schools received messages announcing bombs. In many institutions the students were let out and the police checked room by room, without finding anything.
"We will not allow an anonymous email to decide our children's school calendar." Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated this by publishing a video on social media talking about the bomb scares in schools.
"To date - he continues - there is no element that indicates a concrete danger. These messages are not intended to attack, they serve to scare. Those who write them above all want our fear, the lost days, the suspicion, the chaos. The investigators and the judiciary are working on who is behind them together with their European colleagues. I will not make hypotheses, when there are certainties you will know them. With the honesty that distinguishes me I must say" that "it is possible that messages like these will arrive again. It will not be the sign that something it didn't work, it will be proof that whoever sends them has nothing else and will find us ready.
We are working to deploy all the tools we have to minimize the impact of these attacks, each alarm will continue to be verified one by one."
"Today thousands of Italian schools received a message announcing a bomb. In many institutions the children were let out, the police checked room by room and I'll tell you the most important thing straight away, nothing was found in any school. I know that for many families it was a day of fear or discomfort, I understand it, clearly I don't underestimate it", concludes the prime minister.
