The Italian government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has deployed 500 military personnel to Milan and other northern cities following two days of street violence and youth protests. Confirmed measures include a new security decree introducing a new criminal offense, stiffer penalties for protest-related violence, preventive detention for minors, and lowering criminal imputability to 14. President Mattarella has blocked plans to grant police powers to the Army, creating uncertainty regarding the full scope of military involvement.
