Clashes at the marches, Piantedosi: "These actions were those of professional disruptors." Crosetto: "Whoever causes disorder should pay for the damages immediately."

Italian Interior Minister Piantedosi characterized recent clashes during street processions as the actions of professional troublemakers, announcing strict law enforcement measures that will apply even to minors involved. The developments follow protests that drew political reactions across the spectrum, including Prime Minister Meloni expressing support for law enforcement agencies and Defense Minister Crosetto demanding immediate financial accountability for property damage caused during the unrest.

Opposition response came from Democratic Party leader Elly Schlein, who condemned the individuals engaging in illegal acts while simultaneously warning authorities against using these specific culprits to undermine or overshadow legitimate, peaceful protests.
