Milan, October 21 (askanews) – "Personally, I would have preferred them to have judicial police powers, at least limited to the conduct of demonstrations. Clearly, they could have been more effective." This was stated by Lombardy Region President Attilio Fontana, commenting on the failure to grant judicial police powers to the military personnel who will be sent to Milan following the chaos in the city center last weekend.
Fontana made this statement on the sidelines of CES Unveiled Milan, the European leg of CES Las Vegas, the major tech event taking place in the Nevada metropolis from January 6th to 9th. "Their presence certainly has a deterrent effect, and it's also possible that when a crime is observed," he added, "any citizen can be empowered to prevent it from occurring. Therefore, it's a right generally extended to everyone. Clearly, if they had had greater expertise, it would have been better."
