«The President of the Republic pointed out to the Minister of the Interior , with his agreement, that the authority of the police forces is not measured by truncheons but by their ability to ensure security while protecting, at the same time, the freedom to express opinions publicly. With kids, truncheons express failure." This can be read in a note from the Quirinale press office with reference to what happened yesterday in Pisa and Florence , with police charges at pro-Palestine demonstrations. Among the injured were also students and minors.
Meanwhile in Milan this afternoon, from Piazzale Loreto, the procession began, in which associations, unions and opposing groups as well as young Palestinians from Italy participate. Thousands are traveling along Viale Andrea Doria towards Piazza Duca D'Aosta, where the Central station is located, with a route which, according to forecasts, will arrive around 8pm in Piazza Cairoli, in front of the Sforzesco Castle. «Today Milan is Palestinian again», the words of the activists into the megaphone.
The Milan Police Headquarters has set up a complex security device to guarantee public order both for the pro-Palestine demonstration and that of the Milanese Ukrainian community which is taking place simultaneously from Piazza Castello to Piazza San Babila.
