Italy Tightens Security as Saturday Protests Threaten to Test Public Order
Italian authorities have moved major cities onto a heightened security footing ahead of Saturday demonstrations expected to draw large crowds and potentially trigger unrest. With organisers withholding protest locations until the last moment, police are preparing for a fluid and unpredictable day that could stretch resources across Milan, Rome and other urban centres. The mobilisation comes amid intensifying debate over youth discontent, public safety and the political temperature in Europe’s fourth-largest economy.
