Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni has denounced the clashes that took place in Milan, describing scenes from the city’s central station as “unworthy.” In a social media post, she criticized what she called self-proclaimed “pro-Palestinian,” “antifa,” and “pacifist” groups for devastating the station and clashing with law enforcement. Meloni stated that the violence and destruction have nothing to do with solidarity and will not change the situation for people in Gaza. Instead, she warned, Italian citizens will bear the concrete consequences and pay for the damages caused by what she termed “thugs.” The Premier expressed her support for the police forces, who she said were subjected to the arrogance and gratuitous violence of these “pseudo-protesters.” She concluded by hoping for clear words of condemnation from the organizers of the strike and from all political forces.
