(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 24 - Deputy Premier, Foreign Minister and
centre-right post Berlusconi Forza Italia (FI) leader Antonio
Tajani said Saturday that Interior Minister Mattei Piantedosi
may assess individual responsibility for Friday's baton charges
by police in Florence and Pisa against pro-Palestinians
protesters but the police as a whole "cannot be touched".
Speaking after President Sergio Mattarella spoke out about the
policing, Tajani said the police "are people who defend the
State with low salaries, they aren't the children of the radical
chic".
He told an FI congress, to loud applause, that "responsibility
is personal and I say hands off the police". (ANSA).
Hands off the police says Tajani
They defend us on low wages, not radical chic kids says FI chief
