In early June there were violent riots on Lake Garda. Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese wants to provide information on future investigations and tactics at Parliament in Rome today.
After violent riots on Lake Garda, Italy fears new riots in public places. The June 2 incidents in the town of Peschiera, when some drunk young men attacked each other, jumped into cars and then sexually molested women on a train, have occupied politicians for two weeks. This Wednesday, Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese wanted to provide information about the investigations and future tactics in Parliament in Rome.
As young people are mostly men with a migrant background, the country and right-wing politicians in particular are again intensively debating integration. Some troublemakers, often dubbed the “baby gangs” by police and the media in Italy, have already announced new meetings on social media. Among other things, the Adriatic city of Riccione, near Rimini, was chosen as a meeting point. Matteo Salvini of the right-wing Lega distributed a corresponding TikTok video on his Twitter channel. “Violence and threats are not tolerated here,” he wrote.
