In Milan, there was much violence. This happened on Saturday and Sunday. Young people attacked the police. They threw bottles and stones. They also used firecrackers and barriers as weapons.
Many people are hurt. There are at least 24 people. Out of these, 4 people are from the police. The other 20 people are protesters. All had to go to the doctor or to the hospital.
The police arrested many people. There are more than 200 people. Most of them are still children or teenagers. They are younger than 18 years. Some are even only 12 years old.
The youths broke many things. They smashed shop windows of stores. They stole goods from a super-market. Also, trash cans and bus stops were damaged. The police used water-cannons and tear-gas.
The reason for the protest is money. Life in Italy is getting more expensive. Gas costs very much. Also the taxes are high. This makes many people angry. But politics says: Violence is no solution.
Giorgia Meloni is the head ruler of Italy. She finds the violence very bad. She says: Everyone may say their opinion. But no one may destroy the city. On Monday there is a meeting for safety.
