In Italy, Giorgia Meloni attacks the judiciary after the release of Youssef Siher, identified as the "brain" behind the protests on October 17 in Milan

In response to social unrest in Italy, the government led by Giorgia Meloni arrested activist Youssef Siher, accused of inciting violence during protests. His detention sparked controversy, as the charges included organized violence and terrorism-related offenses. However, a judge later ordered his release, citing insufficient evidence. Siher had been active on Telegram, promoting protests against rising living costs and government policies, following similar movements in France.
