This morning , Giorgia Meloni, representatives of the government, and opposition leaders met at Palazzo Chigi for two hours. They were convened following the threatening emails that reached approximately 6,300 schools across Italy yesterday. These incidents were repeated this morning : new emails, like those from Mikhail Andropov, were sent to schools in at least six regions, prompting immediate checks.
During the meeting at Palazzo Chigi, the Prime Minister called on all political forces to unite, specifying that Ministers Tajani, Crosetto, and Piantedosi will report to Parliament as soon as possible.
Then speaking were Elly Schlein (Pd), Giuseppe Conte (M5s), Angelo Bonelli and Nicola Fratoianni (Avs), Matteo Renzi (Iv), Riccardo Magi (+Europa), Carlo Calenda (Azione) and Edoardo Ziello (Fn).
The Interministerial Security Committee will meet this afternoon to establish common rules for managing alarm reports. A statement reads, "The protocol, already operational, applies to all administrations and provides, as a general rule, that in the absence of concrete evidence beyond the simple receipt of a mass email indicating a danger, buildings will not be evacuated. The Prefect retains the right to order evacuation measures if he has specific, concrete evidence indicating a genuine risk situation."
The reactions
"The debate is good, but it must continue in the appropriate forums, namely Parliament and the COPASIR," said Elly Schlein . "We, as the opposition, are fully available to collaborate in the face of threats aimed at destabilizing the country and creating alarm, but we are not willing to hand over blank cheques to the government regarding the decisions it will make."
