Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni condemned a drive-by shooting in the city of Macerata that targeted migrants, and asked all political parties to act responsibly ahead of national elections on March 4.
“I trust in the sense of responsibility of all political forces,” Gentiloni said Saturday during a news conference in Rome after the incident. “Criminals are criminals and the state will be particularly harsh with anyone that wants to fuel a spiral of violence.”
