Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced a tougher approach to violent demonstrations in Italy. People convicted of taking part in such disorder may now receive sentences of up to five years in prison. Troops are being deployed to Milan in response to riots there. The government also intends to tighten the country's security legislation. Meloni's package pairs tougher sentencing with a stronger security presence in the city. The summary did not identify the demonstrations behind the announcement or give an effective date for the changes.
