The SILP CGIL police union strongly condemns violence but criticizes far-right leader Matteo Salvini for allegedly commanding public order forces during a CasaPound rally in Bologna. Mayor Lepore expressed anger over the government’s decision to permit the rally, labeling it a serious oversight. In response, opposition parties argue that granting the far-right the right to demonstrate in a city known for its resistance is provocative. As calls arise for zero tolerance of violence and extremism, a unified front against authoritarianism is urged by various political factions.
