Soldiers in the square, paratroopers arrive in Milan. Here are the numbers of soldiers in the cities and what they will be able to do
In Milan, 500 paratroopers from the "Folgore" brigade will join 6,800 military personnel already deployed under the "Strade Sicure" operation to enhance public safety. Their role includes surveillance and patrolling, but they lack full police powers and must collaborate with police forces for judicial actions. The military presence is part of a broader strategy to prevent crime in densely populated areas, authorized by law for specific security needs. The deployment plan requires coordination between the Interior and Defense Ministers and is subject to parliamentary oversight.
