Italy's prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, is advancing a tougher law-and-order package following events in Milan. The latest legislative initiative is described as the culmination of a strategy that began when Meloni took office. It forms part of a wider government effort to strengthen the state's response to disorder and security threats. The specific events in Milan were not detailed, and the proposed legal and enforcement changes were left unspecified. The initiative places law and order at the center of Meloni's governing program. It would have to pass through parliament before the tougher measures could take effect. The practical result would depend on how the relevant authorities enforce the new rules.
