The Italian government will deploy 500 soldiers to “defend Milan” following two days of unrest. Vice Premier Matteo Salvini announced the measure on Monday, stating protestors clashed with police, looted shops, and vandalized property in Milan. The deployment aims to restore order and prevent further violence within the city. This decision comes after significant disturbances and escalating tensions in Milan over the weekend. Salvini’s announcement, reported by The Guardian, signals a firm response to the recent protests. Authorities hope the military presence will deter further unlawful activity and safeguard both citizens and businesses in Milan.
