Piantedosi in the Senate: 'We need preventive detention'. Security decree, Mattarella-Mantovano meeting

Pushing for preventive detention. This is what Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said during his communications to the Senate on the clashes in Turin during last Saturday's pro-Askatasuna demonstration.

Communications followed by the approval in the House of the majority resolution with 88 votes in favour and 56 against. And which absorbed the motion presented by Azione, which had received the government's favourable opinion. Instead, the motion proposed by the minority groups Pd, M5s, Avs and Italia viva was precluded (according to the Senate rules, the document is not put to the vote after the first approval).

'We need a regulation that allows for a truly effective preventive intervention,' he said, 'the government intends to introduce a measure that goes precisely in this direction: to prevent those known for violent behaviour from infiltrating and striking. The hope is that all institutional, political and social actors will contribute responsibly to this path'

Preventive detention is among the central measures to be included in the security package that the government aims to present on Thursday afternoon in the Council of Ministers. A measure on which the leader of the League Matteo Salvini has repeatedly raised the issue in recent days, calling for it to be extended to 48 hours.

Not only the preventive arrest, of course. Piantedosi spoke of the clashes in Turin, saying that it is 'undignified' and 'without any correspondence with reality' to insinuate that 'the violence was somehow organised, or at least tolerated, by the government in order to be able to pass new regulations more easily. It is an evidently serious and instrumental accusation", "the antagonist violence, in which Askatasuna and other social centres are protagonists, did not originate with the current government".
