Security Alert in Italy

Al-Taj News – In an unprecedented security escalation to contain the wave of anger sweeping the country, the Italian government approved a package of strict decisions criminalizing acts of violence during demonstrations and imposing harsh penalties that may include imprisonment and the payment of hefty fines. For the first time, the authorities held parents financially responsible for the actions of their minor children, coinciding with the decision to deploy army forces in the city of Milan.

These moves come at a time when Giorgia Meloni’s government is facing dual pressure; between violent riots in the north and widespread protests paralyzing the movement of supplies in the south due to the high cost of living.
