Italy poised to approve tougher security measures in response to protests – Europe live

Italy's government is planning to introduce stricter security measures in response to ongoing protests. This move would give police the power to detain minors under the age of 18 for up to 12 hours without them having committed a crime. The proposed changes aim to curb unrest and maintain public order, but critics argue they could infringe on civil liberties. The new measures are likely to be approved, which could have implications for Italy's human rights record and its relations with the European Union.
