In a context of this morning above The press It has been reported that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has requested the removal of the police presence from the office at Palazzo Chigi. A denial came from the government during the day. “The news that new instructions have been given to the police forces present at Palazzo Chigi, in whom the Prime Minister has always placed his full and total trust, is unfounded. Nothing has changed, so the police remain on the first floor, not even the security arrangements have changed,” said the head of the Prime Minister's press office, Fabrizio Alfano, in the press room at Palazzo Chigi. “The only change that could have triggered this absurd reconstruction is the fact that the Prime Minister informed the director of the Inspection of Palazzo Chigi to reassess the presence of a police officer dedicated exclusively to escorts in the elevator,” he specified. no service orders.
The unions' version, however, is different.
“We learned from the press and then verified that the police officers and women on duty at the PS Palazzo Chigi Inspection were expelled from the floor where the offices of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni are located, probably due to a lack of trust in them. In her plan, Meloni would only like to escort her, but she cannot be the one who decides who and how must guarantee her own safety. This is a very serious thing, which has never happened in these terms in the history of our Republic. A case that has driven our colleagues to despair, who have always worked with dedication and institutional spirit for the safety of those who have the responsibility and honour of governing this country,” commented Pietro Colapietro, general secretary of the police union Silp Cgil. “The inspection of the PS Palazzo Chigi – recalls Colapietro – is a special office of public security with dedicated expertise and is used for the protection of the Prime Minister and the surveillance of the seat of the Government. No Prime Minister can dismiss police officers or divert them from this service, if there are documented critical problems, they must be reported to the competent minister or the chief of police who can act accordingly, perhaps by modulating the use of personnel. Respect for institutions and democracy is fundamental and cannot be questioned. We are waiting for answers.”
