In charge of the students, the police chief recognizes the error: “We are going to act. But the government has nothing to do with it. »

After 30 hours of heated controversy over accusations made by the police against students during a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Pisa, police chief Vittorio Pisani intervened to try to add water to the fire. Who chooses the 8 p.m. Tg1 to give his version of events on what happened yesterday near Piazza Cavalieri, in the university area of ​​Pisa, but also in Florence: “Some initiatives taken during the management of these services public order will have to be analyzed individually and verified with severity and transparency”, announces Pisani, appointed police chief in May 2023 by the Meloni government. However, Cui acts as a shield: “Behind the choices made in the management of services local, there are neither political choices nor political directives,” he assures. The line of “his” police, reaffirms Pisani, remains firm and unchanged: guaranteeing the possibility of always and in all cases expressing the possibility of expressing disagreement, except when these lead to acts of violence, which “must be isolated”, he emphasizes. After October 7, Pisani reconstructs, more than a thousand marches took place in Italy: “In various European countries, not all of them were authorized, here none has ever been banned,” he says at the microphone of Tg1. And this will continue to be the case, he assures, because the objective of the action of the Police is to ensure that “the management of public order finds the consensus of all”. An attempt to redress the situation after the excesses of the police forces in Tuscany today led to an unusual clash between the head of state Sergio Mattarella and the government majority: “The batons on children are a failure.” “No, it’s the fault of the left which supports the violent,” we harshly proclaim.
