Italian diplomatic properties vandalized in Germany and Spain, ANSA reports.. According to Prime Minister Giorgi Meloni, first the car of diplomat Luigi Estreo was set on fire in Berlin, and then a window was broken at the Italian consulate in Barcelona.
“I expressed my solidarity and the solidarity of the Italian government to Luigi Estero, First Counselor of the Italian Embassy in Berlin, regarding the attack that set his car on fire in the German capital. Attached to this episode is an act of vandalism against our consulate general in Barcelona. The Government is following these new incidents of violence against our officials and diplomatic missions with concern and attention,” Meloni said..
There were no casualties as a result of the incidents. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani ordered to start checking and strengthening diplomatic offices, as well as personnel involved in the work.
It is indicated that acts of vandalism were committed almost two months after the arson of the house of an Italian diplomat in Athens. Then a little-known anarchist group took responsibility.. The group called the burning of the house a sign of solidarity with an imprisoned Italian anarchist who has been on a hunger strike for three months because of prison conditions..

Recall, the court refused to release from custody a 74-year-old Spaniard who was detained on charges of sending six letters with a flammable substance and explosive devices, in particular to the embassies of Ukraine and the United States, as well as the office of the Prime Minister of Spain.
Six brown envelopes sized 10x15 with “similar characteristics” with explosive devices were received by the Spanish company Instalaza, which produces, in particular, weapons for Ukraine. Also, a package with explosives was found at the air base in Torrejon de Ardoz.. The third envelope was sent to Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, and the fourth to the Ministry of Defense. All three incidents occurred after such an envelope exploded at the Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid. In the United States, it is assumed that the Russian Imperial Movement was involved in sending dangerous letters.
