Italy’s terrorist fighters want to classify climate activists as organized criminals. These are shocked.
“Last generation” climate activists in Italy are accused of “forming a criminal organization”. Specifically, the accusation is against members of the “Ultima Generazione” in Padua in northern Italy, a spokesman for the Digos police unit announced last weekend.
Suspects under surveillance
The officials specializing in counter-terrorism have been investigating since a poster campaign by the climate protection group “Extinction Rebellion 2020”. First, a house search was carried out at a suspect who is now one of the defendants. On this basis, suspects were even observed for weeks.
“Violent Incidents”
According to the statement of the investigators, their actions were aimed at obstructing freedom of movement on the streets, defaming or defiling cultural heritage. In some cases, only police intervention could prevent “violent incidents” by motorists in response to the protests, as well as more serious consequences for rush hour traffic.
The activists criticized the accusation of forming a criminal organization: “Non-violent citizens are treated as if they were mafiosi.”
