‘Got some balls’: Meloni deploys 500 soldiers as violent protests spread to Italy

News24 host Elizabeth Pipko praises the Italian prime minister for taking a tough stance on law and order and deploying troops to Milan amid escalating unrest. “As violent protests spread to Milan and other Italian cities, Meloni made her position unmistakably clear,” Ms Pipko said. “Protesting is a right. Setting our cities on fire is not, she said. “Her government has now announced additional security measures, including deploying 500 soldiers to Milan and pursuing tougher powers to prevent further disorder. “It's amazing how the female leader in Europe is the only one that's got some balls.”
