Consider moving the pro-Palestine demonstrations scheduled for January 27, Remembrance Day, to another date.
In fact, with a circular from the Department of Public Security, the police commissioners are invited to consider moving the demonstrations scheduled for next Saturday to another day, in particular in Rome and Milan, "thus guaranteeing the freedom of demonstration which, in this case, must reconciled with the value attributed to Remembrance Day".
Because those demonstrations on the day in which the victims of the Holocaust are remembered could harm "some values established by law, such as the commemoration of the Shoah".
The police chief, Vittorio Pisani, has however foreseen that suitable prevention and security measures will have to be put in place for Saturday's demonstrations, "in consideration of the continuing terrorist threat".
The Jewish community of Rome was satisfied and had asked to ban the procession in Rome promoted by Palestinian students who had borrowed words from Primo Levi to launch it.
"We are happy that our reasons have been recognised. We thank the institutions, starting with Minister Piantedosi and all the departments of the Ministry of the Interior, for the sensitivity they have shown. It was a right and common sense decision", he said President Victor Fadlun.
