Mellon: A protester is an enemy of Italy

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Melon has reacted sharply after the country's protests against the development of the Winter Olympics. Melon has named protesters <x0 enemy of Italy”, who, in addition to severe clashes with police, have also sabotaged the railway infrastructure.

This is who they are - the enemies of Italy and Italians, who protest the Olympic Games and send these images to world televisions. While others were waiting for railway cables to prevent the launch of trains,” wrote Mellon, also expressing support for Milan's security forces and for those who “to see their work hindered by these” criminal gangs.

On Saturday afternoon, thousands of people staged protests in Milan. The incidents occurred in the Corvetto area, when a small masked group tried to reach the peripheral road and threw fireworks at the police. Order forces reacted with water cannons and brief attacks, distributing about 50 people, while five people were detained.

At the same time, the railway network faced serious problems due to a fire in an electric cabin near Pesaros and two improvised explosive devices in the Boloney Padova line knot. High-speed trains were forced to use the old line, undergoing delays of up to 120 minutes. Authorities suspect anarchist organisations, but so far there has been no responsibility./Periscopi/
