Giuseppe Valditara, Italy’s Minister of Education and Merit, condemned the damage caused by student occupations at various schools, noting millions in damages, including €2 million at Liceo Gullace. He emphasized that those responsible must be held accountable and that public funds should not cover the repairs, labeling the acts as vandalism rather than legitimate expression of dissent. Valditara shared pictures showing severe destruction at Liceo Virgilio on his Facebook profile.
