Soldiers on Italy's streets

On the online portal of the daily Dnevnik, journalist Andrej Mrevlje comments on the Italian government's decision to station a deterrent force of 3,000 soldiers in several major Italian cities as of today: "Soldiers on the street are never a good sign for the progress of democracy, above all when they are accompanied by additional measures adopted at lightning speed by Berlusconi's government to eliminate overnight the chaos that has been rampant in Italy for decades. True, military uniforms suit the current political atmosphere in Italy. ... But it remains to be seen whether the 3,000 soldiers will improve life in the cities. The government's main argument for the deployment is that if thieves, swindlers, violent criminals and above all immigrants are indifferent to the many police officers stationed on Italy's streets, perhaps soldiers will put fear in their hearts." Official statements stipulate that the troops are primarily to protect government sites. However "it has unfortunately become clear that this includes Roma settlements and immigration centres."
