Giorgia Meloni declared the objective after visiting the injured officers in Turin: " We will do what it takes to restore order in this country ." For this reason, the Prime Minister has decided to open the week at Palazzo Chigi with a government meeting , "to discuss the recent threats to public order and to evaluate the new provisions of the security decree." The meeting is expected to produce a package of measures intended to be included in a decree law to be presented to the Council of Ministers on Wednesday afternoon . Matteo Salvini is certain this will be the case and is confident it will be a substantial intervention , with protections that prevent officers from being automatically registered as suspects and the preventive detention of suspected protesters before marches, which "can last up to 48 hours."

The Deputy Prime Minister is speaking at the end of a Sunday in which members of the majority and government have characterized the violence at the Askatasuna demonstration as subversive, if not terrorism. A phenomenon—according to these interpretations—that must be addressed as it was in the days of the Red Brigades. Current events are prompting the government to accelerate the security package, which has been under consideration for weeks , with discussions between Palazzo Chigi and the Quirinale regarding a series of provisions. In this context, for example, it has emerged in recent days that the crackdown on knives , designed to curb incidents of youth violence, should be included in a draft law rather than a decree. The structure of the two measures could be finalized at the government meeting called for tomorrow at 11:15 a.m., which is expected to be attended by Deputy Prime Ministers Antonio Tajani (connected from Palermo) and Salvini, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi , Justice Minister Carlo Nordio , and Undersecretaries Alfredo Mantovano and Giovanbattista Fazzolari. The League leader is confident the decree will include a provision that prevents law enforcement officers from being automatically registered as suspects in cases of self-defense. To promote this new measure, the League has organized protests across Italy. And Salvini showed up at one of those in Rome this afternoon, expressing optimism that the decree will be presented to the Council of Ministers on Wednesday. "I expect it to be 100% complete. We are ready. Not because of the recent news, but because it's right that all the necessary provisions are included," he explained, listing the provisions on the protection of law enforcement officers, the eviction of occupied properties extended to include second homes, the restrictions on family reunification of migrants, and the preventive detention.

A measure considered "essential" by those involved in the matter to allow peaceful demonstrations to take place. In drafts circulating in recent weeks, it was included in the bill, with the possibility of detaining for up to 12 hours for investigation those suspected of "constituting a danger to the peaceful conduct of the demonstration and to public safety and security" based on "factual evidence, possession of weapons, instruments capable of causing harm, or the use of helmets" or other devices to conceal their faces. "Piantedosi is proposing it for 12 hours. In my opinion, it could even be extended to 48 hours," Salvini emphasized, also referring to the upcoming Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics: "Since Italy will be under the eyes of the world, we must do everything possible to prevent any type of violence or criminal incident."

The Deputy Prime Minister also insists on the proposal to require protest organizers to deposit a deposit to cover any damages. "It is absolutely improper and unconstitutional. Are those who lack the economic means being deprived of the right to demonstrate?" replies the CGIL, which promises to challenge the law in every court if it reaches Parliament. CISL leaders also emphasize that "those who sow chaos should never be confused with those who organize democratic demonstrations and mobilizations, exercising a right guaranteed by the Constitution, which cannot be subject to intimidation."
