Emilia-Romagna is in the spotlight as regional elections approach, with violent clashes erupting in Bologna between leftist groups and police, leaving 13 injured. Right-wing leader Matteo Salvini condemned the leftists’ actions, urging the Interior Minister for stricter surveillance of leftist social centers. In response, students are planning a ‘No Meloni Day’ protest. The city’s mayor criticized the government’s decision to send security forces, referencing Italy’s fascist past. As the situation escalates, the local authority’s handling of the protests is under scrutiny, highlighting an increasingly polarized political landscape.
