Popular Italian resort shocked by decision: Parents threatened with fines of up to 500 euros
A popular Italian resort town in Calabria, Praia a Mare, has implemented a strict new regulation affecting families with children under 14 years old. The measure prohibits minors from moving around or staying in public spaces after 1 AM without adult supervision during the summer season. Parents or guardians who fail to ensure this supervision could face fines of up to €500. Local authorities claim the goal is to protect young people from risks such as traffic accidents, physical attacks, alcohol and drug consumption, and vandalism. The rule applies until the end of August and aims to maintain public safety and order while ensuring a peaceful holiday environment for all visitors and residents. However, the decision has sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting the move as necessary for safety and others criticizing it as excessive and potentially stigmatizing.
IrelandGarda group calls for ‘proper training’ after fatal crash involving car driving the wrong way
A fatal traffic accident occurred in Co Kildare when a stolen car was driven the wrong way on the M9 motorway, killing five teenagers inside the vehicle. Four others, including a seven-year-old child, were hospitalized with varying degrees of severity. The Garda Representative Association (GRA) has called for improved training for police officers to handle situations where vehicles are driven erratically or in violation of traffic laws. According to GRA Vice President John Joe O’Connell, current training does not equip officers to manage such scenarios effectively, particularly when vehicles refuse to stop or attempt to evade law enforcement. O’Connell highlighted that similar incidents have been occurring since 2021, with reports of 'copycat' behavior among drivers attempting to avoid police. He also mentioned recent incidents involving reckless driving and collisions, including a notable case involving a group known as the 'Lucky Dip gang.'

The deputy director general of police is obviously joking.
The article discusses a parliamentary inquiry initiated by a member of the Slovenian Social Democracy Party (SDS) regarding the appointment of Beno Meglič as deputy head of the police. The inquiry focuses on potential misconduct during Meglič’s tenure as director of the Maribor Police Department (PU Maribor), including increased criminal incidents, reduced investigations, and allegations of improper conduct. It highlights a traffic accident involving Meglič on December 8, 2023, where he allegedly failed to direct police patrol to the scene, leading to internal security process findings of violations. The SDS member questions whether current acting head of the police, also named Meglič, is aware of these findings, if any internal review was conducted before his appointment, and whether he trusts Meglič to perform his duties. The article suggests the inquiry could lead to further scrutiny.
