I say: 'To demonstrate is a right. To lay our cities to waste is not.' I say hooligans have exploited the protests to sow chaos. I say people in Turin were detained while carrying cobblestones and window-breaking hammers. I say: 'Do not be ambiguous about this'; condemnation must be unanimous because any hesitation becomes justification. #ViolentClashes #Protests #GiorgiaMeloni
I am worried this is a new phenomenon that originates from an international scenario and therefore feeds itself. I witnessed smashed shop windows, looted stores, and frightened citizens. What happened here is what we are seeing in many cities around the world. #ViolentClashes #Protests #GiorgiaMeloni
My party has always condemned violence, and the rioting should not be used to stifle the voices of peaceful protesters across the country who are struggling to make a living. #ViolentClashes #Protests #GiorgiaMeloni
More than 200 people were detained during two days of rioting in the city, Italian media reports. #ViolentClashes #Protests #GiorgiaMeloni
