Val di Susa, what Piantedosi does not explain: why the black blocks were better organized in the police field

The article discusses the police confrontation with black bloc protesters in Val di Susa, Italy, highlighting concerns over the inefficiency of public order management. It questions whether Italian authorities were aware beforehand of the scale and international composition of the protest group, which included participants from France, Spain, Germany, and Belgium. The author suggests that if this information was known, preventive measures such as detaining potential agitators could have been taken. The article criticizes the apparent lack of preparedness by law enforcement, noting that the black bloc appeared well-organized and equipped with various weapons. This situation has raised concerns among both the interior minister and political parties, though the discussion has largely fallen into the familiar narrative of dividing people into 'good' and 'bad.'
