Italy has taken measures to strengthen security in response to recent violent clashes in Milan. The government has approved the deployment of 500 troops to the city.
What happened
The decision was made after protests against fuel prices turned violent, affecting not only Milan but also southern Italy, where pasta production and food deliveries were disrupted.
In addition to the troop deployment, the cabinet has introduced a series of security measures. These include making it easier to detain minors and establishing the crime of violent participation in a demonstration.
The move is part of an effort to maintain order and address the escalating situation in the country.
