Following violent unrest in Milan and other Italian cities that resulted in millions of euros in damages and injuries to 141 law enforcement officers, political leaders have called for increased accountability and stricter enforcement. Maurizio Gasparri, President of the Senate Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, demanded that those responsible for property damage provide immediate reimbursement. He suggested that parents of minors should be held liable for damages if the children lack financial means, and urged the judiciary to conduct immediate trials for flagrant crimes rather than releasing suspects. Salerno Mayor Vincenzo De Luca ~~echoed calls~~ has advocated for a hardline response, ~~advocating for~~ specifically supporting the use of police defensive ~~tools~~ tools, such as batons, to ~~prevent vandalism.~~ deter vandals. De Luca ~~proposed lowering~~ described such measures as having a “pedagogical effect” for those attempting to destroy storefronts. Addressing the ~~age~~ involvement of ~~criminal responsibility~~ minors, De Luca proposed a dual approach: repression for ~~15- to 16-year-olds~~ active aggression and reform opportunities for younger children. He suggested ~~a system of parental accountability involving~~ that if children under 14 are caught in the act, their parents should face immediate fines of 10,000 to 20,000 ~~euros~~ euros, with actual damages calculated later. Furthermore, De Luca expressed support for ~~families~~ lowering the age of ~~younger children caught committing acts~~ criminal responsibility, arguing that teenagers aged 15 or 16 are “fully capable of ~~vandalism.~~ distinguishing right from wrong.”
