- Fratelli d’Italia posted a photo of the inscription on X, casting it as part of a broader pattern of left‑wing extremism and political violence.
- Giorgia Meloni said those who trade in hate will never be like Charlie Kirk and called the comparison a source of pride tied to freedom of thought.
- Reports so far focus on political reactions and rising tensions around Gaza‑related protests, with no investigative outcomes detailed and security for top officials recently reinforced as protests targeted figures including Matteo Salvini.
