The Israeli-Palestinian war reverberates in our societies, which have always been exposed because they are free, multiracial and multiethnic. The attack in France against a teacher who was barbarously beheaded at the hands of a Frenchman of Chechen origin shouting "allahu akbar" and the various bomb scares recorded in England and France (Louvre and Palace of Versailles), induce European governments to put in place the security structures that were implemented after the attack on the Twin Towers.
Those at greatest risk are the countries that are most affected by the phenomenon of Mediterranean migratory flows, such as Italy.
On the subject, the undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, Alfredo Mantovano, highlighted that 180.000 people have arrived in Italy irregularly since January. Numbers intensified by jihadism which controls large areas of African nations through different gangs. Thus, explains Mantovano, the promotion of migratory effects becomes an instrument of pressure by jihadism towards Europe, then Italy is the closest and the majority arrives here.
The fears of the Italian executive are also expressed by the Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto who, speaking at the Foglio event, said on the celebration of November 4 Armed Forces"I'm thinking of canceling it, of not doing it this year because I don't think it's right to increase a risk factor."
The ministry then specified that, at the moment, all institutional appointments have been confirmed while the evening scheduled at the theater was canceled because it was no longer considered appropriate in light of recent events. However, the possibility of holding the planned event at the Circus Massimo in Rome will be evaluated.
The Defense has arranged, as a precaution, the return of over 20 carabinieri who are part of the Italian Training Mission in Palestine to Jericho.
Alert level raised in Italy
There are over 28 thousand sensitive targets in Italy, of which 205 are Israeli, mainly diplomatic and religious. The reconnaissance was carried out during the national committee for public order and security, chaired by the Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi, according to what was learned from Vuninale sources. During the meeting, which was attended by the leaders of the police and intelligence forces, in light of the serious episode in France, updated information was acquired and an analysis of sensitive targets was carried out. At the national committee for public order and security, convened at the Interior Ministry yesterday morning, what emerged was the sharing of constant monitoring of the scenarios that are emerging in the Middle East, and therefore the repercussions on our national territory, explained the Minister of 'Interior Matteo Piantedosi. We have police structures that offer maximum guarantee – continued Piantedosi – Already in the past, regarding migratory flows, we have demonstrated our ability to intercept presences that may represent a concern in some way. It remains a very undefined, very fluid threat.
