At Palazzo Chigi the meeting between the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, and the law enforcement unions on the government's ongoing legislative initiatives regarding the regulation, organization and functioning of the police forces with territorial control functions.
As far as we know, the executive branch also includes the Vice President of the Council and Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, the Minister of Economy and Finance, Giancarlo Giorgetti, and the Undersecretary of the Presidency of Council, Alfredo Mantovano.
Taking part in the meeting are representatives of Siulp, Sap, Siap, Coisp-Mosap Federation, Fsp State Police ES-LS-Consap-MP, Silp Cgil, Cocer Arma Carabinieri, Cocer Guardia di Finanza.
"I would like to remember, here, that in 97% of the demonstrations that have taken place in recent months there have been no critical issues - the Prime Minister said, as far as we know, at the meeting -. Only in 3% critical issues were found in some cases and this demonstrates the excellent management of public order and your ability to protect sensitive sites. These are facts that are right to reiterate and underline, because I believe the systematic campaign of denigration you are engaging in is unjust been subjected."
"Minister Piantedosi, in Parliament, and the Chief of Police, have ensured the careful verification of what happened in Pisa - explained, we learn, Meloni -, and full collaboration with the judicial authority to highlight errors or abuses Without prejudice to these findings, and respecting their autonomy, the purpose of this meeting of ours is to look at the present and the future, and therefore to receive proposals from you on the contribution that the Government and, for the part of the government's initiative, the Parliament can give today to improve the management of public order. We want to understand what can be done to better manage public order."
We must "counter a mentality that wants to instill in younger people" the idea that "there are rules that cannot be respected, as some opinion makers say", which "often leads to a dead end".
This is one of the arguments, according to what ANSA understands, expressed by the Prime Minister in the meeting with the police unions, speaking of "bad teachings for the younger ones".
The Prime Minister noted that international crises "will lead to an increase in protests" and that the government wants to "continue to guarantee the rights to demonstrate but in compliance with the rules" and therefore "everyone's good will is needed".
PS unions, 'Daspo to violent demonstrators, government opens', students rise up
The Daspo also applies to perpetrators of violent acts during demonstrations, similar to that applied to fans
.
This is the
proposal
- as far as we know -
put on the table today at Palazzo Chigi by the police unions
during the meeting with Meloni and some ministers.
According to the representatives of the organizations, the Government was willing to evaluate the measure.
"
The government's proposal to apply a ban on violent demonstrators is shameful ": Bianca Chiesa, national coordinator of
the Students' Union,
told ANSA
.
The proposal, he explains, comes "following a series of episodes which demonstrate that it is not the students who are violent but the police. For years we have been denouncing the disproportionate and exaggerated violence of the police against the peaceful demonstrators who descend on square exercising their rights. Instead, identification codes are needed on the uniforms and helmets of the police while the government tightens repressive measures; we think we need to intervene in the opposite direction, ensuring that the country is a training ground for democracy in which people can demonstrate freely ".
Siap, imminent discussion on the contract for law enforcement agencies
"It was a very important meeting, because we didn't just talk about money and the imminent opening" of the table on the "contract for policemen, carabinieri and financiers of the military world, we talked about the rights and freedoms to demonstrate, which they must be guaranteed to everyone but in the spirit of article 17 paragraph 2 of the constitution".
Thus Giuseppe Tiani, secretary of Siap, at the end of the meeting between the government and the police unions.
"The controversies that are going through the country on the right to demonstrate, which has never been banned, worry both the police unions and the government itself", he added.
"There was no discussion about the identification code, on which we do not give up the discussion
. We are willing to talk about it, but there cannot be an equal relationship between those who guarantee all citizens and those who demonstrate in a violent manner. We are available to discuss it, but we are not these are the social and political conditions at the moment to start a discussion on identification codes between the police and the carabinieri, the Finance department already has it, and the service orders are clear".
