The current model of the Strade Sicure operation presents “four forms of misalignment”: the “exceptional mission has become permanent, but its setup continues to be justified through renewals rather than by an organic law that defines purposes, exit criteria, and evaluation.”

The personnel can also “patrol and assist at criminal events, but do not always have the legal tools to complete the first cycle of intervention.” “The value of presence is often measured in deployed units, controls, or guarded sites” and, finally, “each urban shift takes time away from preparation, training, and recovery at a time when collective defense requires greater readiness.”

The tug of war within the majority on Strade Sicure
A focus that comes at a time when a political debate has developed within the majority between the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, the Lega party’s Matteo Salvini, who is calling for a strengthening of the interforce military operation launched in Italy in August 2008 (during the Berlusconi IV government) which involves the deployment of Italian Armed Forces personnel to support the Police Forces for public security and territorial control. Holding back is instead the Minister of Defense, the founder of Brothers of Italy Guido Crosetto.
Salvini’s pressure and Crosetto’s slowdown
In particular, Salvini has called for “immediately” more soldiers to guard streets, squares, and stations, thus strengthening the operation which currently counts 6,800 soldiers. But Crosetto replied in a post on X: “As long as it is not for purely ‘aesthetic’ reasons to show some camouflage on the street.” And he referred to a defense reorganization law, indicated as a tool to make “legally possible” the use of soldiers against crime. But the Lega has not given up and precisely referring to Crosetto, has called for a breakthrough “already from next week” and “not with an ‘aesthetic’ presence,” but with “thousands of trained and armed young men and women who could leave the barracks and support the police forces.”
