Farmers' protests driving their
tractors around major Italian cities have been handled by
Italian public-order authorities "impeccably" Interior Minister
Matteo Piantedosi said Wednesday.
"A civilised way of representing the protest that we are
handling so far in a way that I must say is impeccable," he said
when asked about tractors holding up traffic on major arteries
and bringing cars to a standstill in many cities including
imminently Rome.
"I would like to thank the prefects and police chiefs above all
who are mediating and are having the cooperation of the
organisers so that there is a balance between the need to
demonstrate but at the same time not to affect what are issues
of public order and security," Piantedosi added at the end of
the Public Safety and Security Committee held in Perugia.
