(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 15 - Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi on Friday condemned what he called "intolerable episodes of violence" in Turin after some 15 police were taken to hospital after being hit by an improvised explosive device amid clashes at a pro-Palestinian and anti-government student march.
    "Once again today in Turin, during a march, we witnessed intolerable episodes of violence, with demonstrators who, violating the police headquarters' instructions and changing route, attempted to reach the entrance to the prefecture," he said.
    Piantedosi contrasted the Turin violence with recent anarchist attacks on police in Bologna at a protest against a neofascist CasaPound rally in the Emilian capital.
    "This time there was no pretext of other initiatives in progress or subjects to oppose, but the buildings of the Institutions were targeted and the officers of the Police Forces who were deployed to defend them were attacked," said Piantedosi.
    "I trust that there will be unanimous condemnation for what happened.
    "My closeness and appreciation for their professionalism and balance to the injured officers, together with my best wishes for a speedy recovery". (ANSA).
