The attacks against our diplomatic representations in Athens, Barcelona and Berlin, and likewise the one in Turin, the violence on the streets of Rome and Trento, the bullets addressed to the director of the ‘Tirreno’ newspaper and to chief prosecutor Francesco Saluzzo, the Molotov cocktail thrown at a police station: such actions will not intimidate the institutions, even less so if the aim is a relaxation of the toughest prison regime for perpetrators of terrorist acts. The State does not compromise with those who make treats.
