Rome, 18 Oct. (LaPresse) – “One hundred and forty-one members of the police force have been injured. An unacceptable toll. All political parties are called upon to reaffirm their solidarity. Instead, condemnations of the violence from the left are feeble and ambiguous, whilst they are fanning the flames of protest and even accusing those responsible for maintaining public order and the government.” So said Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani in X, following the devastation caused during yesterday’s demonstrations in various cities. “Instead of considering how to isolate the violent elements in the marches,” continued the leader of Forza Italia, “the opposition is preoccupied with announcing further joint demonstrations, whilst failing to put forward equally unified proposals on even a single major government issue. I reaffirm my full support for the Carabinieri, the police and the Finance Police – support that must be accompanied by concrete measures. Forza Italia will continue to fight for a pension scheme dedicated to the police and the armed forces, one that takes into account the specific nature of the service carried out in the interests of citizens, the retirement age and the need for a pension that is commensurate with the difficulties, wear and tear, and risks faced every day. In Milan and throughout Italy. Always standing shoulder to shoulder with our men and women in uniform!”
