Tentera Itali akan hantar 500 anggota tambahan ke Milan susulan rusuhan
Rusuhan tercetus di Milan hujung minggu lalu selepas demonstrasi aman bagi membantah kos sara hidup tinggi serta pelbagai rancangan perundangan kerajaan.
The Italian military plans to send an additional 500 troops to Milan in response to violent protests. German news agency dpa reports that the decision was made during a crisis meeting chaired by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is expected to issue a decree shortly. The additional military presence aims to prevent a recurrence of the unrest in Milan's central business district.
The Italian Strade Sicure (Safe Streets) mission has been operating since 2008, with troops assisting police in monitoring high-risk areas of the city center. Emergency lockdown measures are also being considered for certain areas of the city. Meloni previously announced a tough stance as a response to the protests and other demonstrations in Milan and other cities.
The unrest erupted in Milan at the end of the previous weekend after a mostly peaceful demonstration against high living costs and various government bills. More than 270 arrests were made, mostly involving minors, with five individuals being held. Over 14 security officers were injured, and the extent of the damage is estimated in the millions of euros.
