Parties continue to fire over police baton charges - Politics. Italian political parties continue to spar Sunday over the supposedly heavy handed policing of a peaceful pro-Palestinian student demonstration in Pisa Friday.

Rightwing League leader Matteo Salvini said "hands off the police" and members of Premier Giorgia Meloni's rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party attacked the students for "provoking" the police by trying to reach the US consulate in the Tuscan city.
