“Full solidarity with the police, the violence” from “unpublished subjects” is unacceptable”, says the President of the Republic Mattarella who, on the devastation in Milan, asks for “an in-depth analysis”. Shutters lowered in the fashion quadrilateral: several brands have closed in Via Montenapoleone, including Chanel, Pomellato and Hermès. 14 policemen injured, 271 people taken to the police station, damage amounting to one million euros. Mayor Sala's visit to the attacked shops. Summit at Palazzo Chigi with Meloni: “The State will give a firm response”. “Military with police duties for three months,” Crosetto says. The League announces the tightening by decree. Salvini: "500 more soldiers to defend Milan". Today the text with the extension of the preventive stop to 24 hours. Trump: "Protests over immigration are also in Italy. If Europe succumbs to migrants we will leave."
"It seems that the dream of improving one's life is fading. There is a wave that seems to be crossing Europe. Young people are pro-European, they feel that the continent is experiencing a very difficult moment, which affects them closely. A mine that takes away perspectives. It is not that young people by nature want to have things without committing themselves. They commit themselves, but they feel their future is much more uncertain than that of previous generations". This was stated in an interview with La Stampa by Elsa Fornero, economist and former minister. "There is a lot of cynicism in populist politics - he adds - which seems to be spreading in Italy and Europe today. The squares are used a bit on one side and a bit on the other. Instead we should seek dialogue, listen to what is said and seek a balance. We need to multiply the openness to discussion, return to the great values of the Constitution by highlighting its relevance and relevance and convince young people of the great difference between protest and devastation and of the unacceptability of violence".
"There could be a direction and organization activity, with attention that also comes from abroad, behind the episodes of violence. What strikes me is the fact that demonstrations organized by students whose connotation is spontaneity were chosen as the theater of violence. A guerrilla war was not organized in conjunction with the CGIL demonstration in Rome, where there is increasingly more control, rather we thought of Milan. Here there was more permeability because the student demonstrations do not have that service of order that trade union demonstrations have instead". Enrico Borghi, senator of Italia Viva and member of Copasir, said this in an interview with the newspaper 'La Repubblica'. A Russian director? "I have no elements to reach these conclusions. However, I note that Telegram and TikTok have acted as a detonator, but it is clear that behind this which seems to me to be a manifestation of nihilism there is a logic linked to everything that is happening on a European level. The rebellious spontaneity is there, but there is also someone who may have had an interest in triggering or channeling it. - added Borghi - Russia's interest is to slip like salt into the wounds of all public opinions. European governments to increase ruptures and internal clashes so as to reduce the cohesion of the countries that support Ukraine. The more confusion there is on the European side, the more all this plays into the hands of the Kremlin."
"The devastation in the heart of Milan is absolutely unacceptable, I immediately condemned it. But it is up to the government to guarantee public order and the safety of citizens and shopkeepers." The president of the 5 Star Movement, Giuseppe Conte, tells Corriere della Sera. "To date, twenty thousand carabinieri and policemen are missing. Security requires adequate investments, which the government has not made", he adds and on the measures under study he states: "It is only an illusion to think that the solution could be to pass new decrees for each new episode of violence". For Conte, finally, "beyond troublemakers who want to vent their anger with their hands, the generational pact that guaranteed social peace is falling apart. The new generations see the future increasingly uncertain and no guarantee of being able to improve their condition compared to their parents. The social elevator has been interrupted".
"After the violent demonstrations and devastation in Milan in recent days, the extraordinary summit on public order and security - requested today by President Meloni - envisaged the deployment of 500 soldiers in Milan, to strengthen the garrison of the city and counter guerrilla actions. Tomorrow the Council of Ministers will examine a new law decree to strengthen the tools to combat violence and 'urban guerrilla warfare'". Thus in a note the Undersecretary of Defense, Isabella Rauti, with responsibility for the 'Safe Roads' operation. "In this choice - continues Rauti - there is the political and operational character of the Meloni government: to the sterile rhetoric of announcements and 'showcases' we prefer concrete and determined decisions. And, as declared by the Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto, 'tomorrow the Council of Ministers will approve specific rules that will allow the military to act like the police force for the next three months'".
