Italy passes law making parents pay for children's protest damage

tamil.news18.com (Tamil) —

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has approved a law allowing authorities to collect compensation from parents of minors involved in protests. The measure follows recent violent demonstrations and looting in Milan. The unrest in Milan last week saw young people ransacking shops, with police using batons to disperse crowds. The new law targets parents of children responsible for violence and looting, making them financially liable for damages. The protests, which spread from France to Italy, were driven by rising prices, increased rent, and poor government services. Additionally, 500 extra military personnel have been deployed to Milan to bolster security alongside police.
