Italy protests: 32 arrested as Meloni vows crackdown after weekend riots

The 'Movimento 17 ottobre' has announced permanent Saturday protests across Italy until the government falls, while Premier Giorgia Meloni has convened a security summit. Milan prosecutors have requested jail custody for five adults arrested in weekend riots. The movement's new Instagram page and Telegram group are distributing a guide for young protesters with advice on avoiding police checks and not distancing from those who act differently. Police report 14 officers injured, 271 people taken to stations, and 32 arrested, mostly minors. Meloni promised new tools to counter chaos, with possible measures like the Caivano decree, while opposition leader Elly Schlein warned against using violence to cover peaceful protests. The five adults face charges including aggravated resistance, devastation, and looting.
