The Italian government adopted strict measures against the protesters.

🔹 After the recent unrest, the Italian government defined the crime of "violent participation in demonstrations" and established penalties of up to five years in prison and a fine of 20,000 euros. Parents of minors will also be responsible for compensation for damages caused by their children's actions.

The new measures give the police the right to arrest 14-17 year olds if there is evidence that they are dangerous, even without committing a crime. The government also announced that 500 army soldiers would be stationed alongside the police in Milan by the end of 2026.
