Italian FM criticizes France's ban on demonstrations in support of Palestinians

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Taiani criticized on Sunday France's ban on several pro-Palestinian demonstrations in recent days. On Thursday, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin ordered a systematic ban on “pro-Palestinian demonstrations,” citing fears of “disturbances in public order.”


Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Taiani told RTL 102.5 radio, criticizing France on Sunday, “France makes its own choices, but banning demonstrations in a democratic country when they are not violent demonstrations does not seem to me fair, if there is no indication that the demonstrations could "Deteriorate."


Tayani, who also holds the position of Deputy Prime Minister, pointed out that “peaceful protests are taking place in the United States, which is the country most committed to defending the Israelis, including through the presence of its naval force (in the eastern Mediterranean), and protests have also been organized in the United Kingdom.” ".

He added, "When protests become violent, that's another issue, and when there are security threats, that's another issue."


It is noteworthy that French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin ordered, on Thursday, a systematic ban on “pro-Palestinian demonstrations, because they are likely to lead to disturbances in public order.”
