Meloni slams'smear campaign' against police forces - Politics. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Wednesday slammed the smear campaign to which the forces of law and order are allegedly subject in Italy.

Meloni told police union representatives during a meeting at Palazzo Chigi called after heavy-handed policing during a pro-Palestinian protest in Pisa last month. "I consider the systematic campaign of denigration to which you have been subjected to to to be unfair," said Meloni.
