Italian PM Condemns Protesters Disrupting Winter Olympics in Milan
On Saturday, roughly 10,000 people marched through Milan to protest the Games, citing environmental and economic concerns. The protesters also voiced opposition to the presence of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel assisting with security for visiting American officials.
A smaller group of approximately 100 individuals later split from the main march, clashing with police officers, who used water cannons and tear gas to restore order.
In an Instagram statement posted Sunday, Meloni contrasted the efforts of volunteers supporting the event with those causing unrest. “Then there are those who are enemies of Italy and Italians,” she wrote, referring to the protesters and rail saboteurs, while expressing support for police and workers “whose work will be undermined by these gangs of criminals.”
