Farmers' protests driving their tractors around major Italian cities have been handled by Italian public-order authorities "impeccably" Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said Wednesday.
"A civilized way of representing the protest that we are handling so far in a way that I must say is impeccable," he said when asked about tractors holding up traffic on major arteries and bringing cars to a standstill in many cities including immediately Rome.
"I would like to thank the prefects and police chiefs above all who are mediating and are having the cooperation of the organizers so that there is a balance between the need to demonstrate but at the same time not to affect what are issues of public order and security," Piantedosi added at the end of the Public Safety and Security Committee held in Perugia.
