A new operation by Italian police, mainly in the greater Genoa and Florence areas, took place on Thursday.
29 raids, with so many other calls to apologize for disasters, violent acts, causing damage to vaccination centers and participating in a secret, illegal organization.
Via the Internet, and more specifically using Telegram, the defendants exchanged videos on “how to sabotage and wreak havoc on vaccination centers without being discovered.”
In fact, they tried to keep their identities secret, but to participate in the various chats only with special codes. This is the second operation against vaccinators in less than forty-eight hours. The Turin prosecutor’s office on Tuesday ordered another 18 raids and three arrests, always on charges of involvement in violent organizations. “We will go to the demonstrations and drop bombs, it’s enough with the dictatorship,” the vaccinators wrote on the Internet.
Pressure for new restrictions on the unvaccinated
The goals of the health and prosecutorial authorities are twofold: to avoid new episodes and to limit the increase of cases as much as possible. Almost all the center-right governors of the Italian north want new restrictions to be imposed on those citizens who have not been vaccinated. Traders, meanwhile, fear there could be a sharp drop in buying traffic in the critical weeks before Christmas if even greater security conditions are not in place.
Initially, the government of Mario Draghi was negative and many experts had referred to the possible unconstitutionality of any measures that can only concern certain categories of citizens.
On Thursday, however, Italian Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Schiller said that if the regions with the most cases turn yellow and then orange (with new, strict bans) then a selective lockdown for unvaccinated citizens could indeed be implemented. The most direct report, according to commentators, is first of all in the Upper Adygea region on the border with Austria.
