ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “I express on behalf of the whole government solidarity with the agents left injured in Saturday’s clashes in Turin. The social center, after having characterized for 30 years of illegality and violence perpetrated throughout Italy, on 18 December had finally been cleared, ending the occupation of a public property too long tolerated”. Thus the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, during the urgent information at the Chamber on the clashes of Turin during the procession for the social center Askatasuna. “Saturday evening near the Vanchiglia district the procession stopped and about 1,500 subjects detached and exploiting the darkness, the poor visibility due to the ignition of smokegens and the mass of the other protesters, who in some circumstances offered them a visual shield, they disguised themselves with helmets and passmontagna, deviating to the prefixed route to direct with police shields.”.
“The budget of accidents is 108 wounded among the operators of the forces of the order, 27 people were subjected, 24 of which denounced for resistance to official public, port of improper weapons and misrepresentation, 3 people were held under arrest for resistance and violence to official public”, the minister underlined.
“Our police forces guarantee the constitutional right to manifest freely and always do so with great professionalism and balance. With the government in office the demonstrations of squares have increased significantly by number and participation, even because of the difficult international context that we are living, despite someone had ventured even to argue that with the Meloni government a close has been realized on the exercise of the freedoms to manifest, it is true exactly the opposite”, he emphasized.
“We are faced with a strategy that aims to raise the level of confrontation with institutions and that through the disorders and violence aims to compact the anarcho-antagonist galaxy. We are recording this heightening of the level of confrontation that, in some ways, recalls squadron dynamics and terrorists that have characterized our past”, he explained. “We register the growing propensity to attack the police and devastate the cities, actions that must surely be punished with sanctions and effective instruments – added Piantedosi – Disorders, violence, damages and devastation go beyond the contingent motivations from time to time announced, but they are actually the real goal pursued on many occasions.”.
“The shameful scenes we witnessed last Saturday, draw attention to the need to depotentiate organized groups of pheasants before they can even work and trigger spirals of violence. This is one of the objectives of the policy package we are prepared to propose. We are working on the introduction of specific measures to make filtering and prevention action even more effective, such as the police station for potentially dangerous subjects, of which we already know intentions and attitudes, tools present in some European orders without anyone shouting at the attack on democracy,” he said.
“With regard to the episodes of organized violence against the state and law enforcement forces there can be no ambiguity, but only a firm condemnation. Askatasuna with a communiqué claimed illegal actions expressing solidarity to the three arrested, reasserting what was the real goal of the event – added Piantedosi – It is indispensable a signal of moderation, without which it is likely to tighten the clash. The hope is that all political forces in Parliament can find a convergence to reject any temptation to blandicate and justify these ever-sive and anti-democratic expressions through the identification of new forms of protection.”.
