The Italian Left is backing violent
people to cause unrest as seen at recent pro-Palestinian
demonstrations where the police have been accused of heavy
handed tactics, Premier Giorgia Meloni's rightwing Brothers of
Italy (FdI) party said Saturday.
"Brothers of Italy defends the democratic rules of coexistence
that are based on the right to demonstrate and the duty to do so
peacefully and within the law," it said.
"The left that supports the violent is the cause of the riots we
witnessed".
Many Italians were shocked by video footage of police hitting
protesters repeatedly over the head with their truncheons after
the students and others tried to reach the US consulates in
Florence and Pisa on Friday.
