Meloni, there is a smear campaign against the police - Breaking news. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this at the meeting with the police force unions.

"I believe the systematic campaign of denigration to which you have been subjected is unjust," he said. "In 97% of the demonstrations that took place in recent months there were no critical issues. Only in 3 per cent of the cases were critical issues found," he told the police union leaders. "This demonstrates the excellent management of public order and the your ability to protect sensitive sites"
