Naples riots between social centers and law enforcement agencies

This afternoon in Naples, during a static demonstration in Piazza Dante, regularly notified by the trade union organization SI Cobas in which about three hundred people took part, including workers and representatives of various antagonistic realities, the unemployed organized and the civic committees of Bagnoli, about two hundred protesters improvised a procession - prohibited by current covid legislation - towards piazza Municipio, being blocked in via Toledo.

At this juncture, some of the demonstrators started throwing objects towards staff of the Mobile Department on duty, injuring three operators.

All the images of the cameras in the area were acquired in addition to those made by the Scientific Police for the subsequent identification of those responsible who will be prosecuted for the cowardly attack on the policemen, as well as for the other violations committed.

The Quaestor of Naples Alessandro Giuliano immediately got in touch with the injured policeman with a 15-day prognosis, showing him solidarity and gratitude for his courage and self-sacrifice.

The Chief of Police - General Director of Public Security, recalling that just today in Naples as in many Italian cities, at 17,57, a crown was laid in memory of the victims of the mafia massacres, he asked, firmly, that arrive, as soon as possible, in identifying those responsible for the vile aggression and that they are brought to justice.

Prefect Gabrielli stressed that the coincidence with the commemorative ceremonies makes what happened today seem even more serious.

It is not admissible, he continued, that a demonstration results in gratuitous violence, remembering that policemen, every day, are engaged exclusively in the service of democratic institutions and citizens.
