Melons in the Tav shipyards, 'the magistrates do their best'

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited the TAV construction site in Chiomonte after violent clashes during the No Tav protest march in Val di Susa. She condemned the attacks as organized violence, emphasizing the need for law enforcement to act decisively. During the visit, police increased controls in nearby Venaus, identifying over 1,000 activists, adding to previous arrests. The prosecutor has opened an investigation into possible destruction, with potential charges of more serious crimes. Two detainees were ordered to leave Italy, and three years' ban on reentry was imposed. Meloni called for maximum judicial effort against those responsible, while opposition leader Elly Schlein accused the government of using violence to attack opponents. Regional President Alberto Cirio announced the Piedmont regional government would formally join legal proceedings. Former prosecutor Antonio Rinaudo suggested the incidents could constitute terrorism.

If after a rape we imitate Roggero
