BOLZANO. On the occasion of the May 1st holiday, numerous demonstrations and public events took place in our Province; in addition to this, and in consideration of the expected increase in the tourist influx both in the city and in the other South Tyrolean municipalities, starting from last Friday and until yesterday morning numerous public order and safety services were made operational by order of the police commissioner Province of Bolzano Paolo Sartori with the participation of all the police forces. This is in line with what is indicated by the Department of Public Security of the Ministry of the Interior and with what was agreed upon in the Provincial Committee for Public Order and Security, also – and above all – with a view to preventing any destabilizing initiatives capable of endangering the safety of citizens and those who have decided to spend a few days of holiday with us.

Furthermore, in this context, a series of activities were carried out to prevent and repress phenomena of widespread illegality falling within the broader operational program of territorial control, which had the aim, in addition to supervising sensitive objectives and infrastructures more complex ones present in our territory – such as railways, roads, motorways, railway and bus stations, public institutions, historical, artistic and architectural assets, buildings of worship and places of aggregation – also that of guaranteeing transport safety and safety of the people who took advantage of the holidays to spend their holidays visiting museums, restaurants, theatres, public places and so on.
