The move follows violent protests in Milan, where demonstrators looted shops, damaged property and clashed with police. Under the new decree, parents may have to pay for damage to public or private property caused by their children. The measures also introduce penalties of up to 5 years in prison and fines of up to €20,000 for violent participation in demonstrations. The government says the rules aim to strengthen public safety and hold offenders accountable. (PC: News18)
