Early in the afternoon, in a central square of the Italian co-capital, representatives and members of all opposition parties, from the center-left Democratic Party, to the Five Stars and the Italian Left and the Environmentalists participated in a protest against the transition of its members to.
The mobilization will be “present” by the Union of Italian Guerrilla Guerrillas (who fought the fascists and the Nazis), as well as the largest Italian trade union, Cgil. All with whistles in their mouths in support of the protesters and all Minnesotans.
After the relevant revelation by the press, the Italian government clarified that the ICE men will not be involved in the management of public order. According to the assurances so far, they are going to cooperate with the Italian authorities at the level of investigations to prevent any terrorist attacks. At the same time, they are likely to offer protection to the American vice president Vance, during the opening ceremony of the Games at the San Siro stadium in Milan.
They did what they didn’t know
The whole matter, however, remains in the news because for days the Meloni administration has insisted that it knew nothing about the possible presence of members of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The mayor of Milan, Beppe Sala, clearly stated that “this Service in our city is not welcome”.
According to a poll presented today by the private channel La7, 75% of respondents answered that the Italian Prime Minister should oppose Trump’s choices, regarding the action of ICE and the whole line towards immigrants. Despite this, with today’s statements in the Il Foglio newspaper, Giorgia Meloni confirms this strategic alliance.
“Don’t you find it ironic that those who constantly criticize relations with the United States and tear their clothes off about the presence of representatives of the American security forces at the Winter Games – as is always the case between allies – are at the same time asking the United States to continue to be involved in our defense?” asks the head of the government of Rome.
Pandemic “No” to Trump
At the same time, however, based on the La7 channel gallop, 90% of Italians condemn Trump’s stance on Greenland and 89% ask Meloni to openly oppose the use of trade tariffs as a lever of pressure. It is clear that at this stage there is a strong communication and understanding problem between the political authority and the sensitivities and perceptions of the citizens.
