Italy Increases Security Measures Ahead of Catholic Jubilee Following Germany Attack
In response to a deadly attack in Germany, the Italian Ministry of the Interior has instructed local authorities to boost security in tourist areas, particularly at outdoor Christmas markets. These measures coincide with the upcoming Catholic Jubilee, set to attract thousands to the Vatican for the opening ceremony led by Pope Francis. A meeting in Rome emphasized the need to prevent copycat attacks by isolating perpetrators, especially so-called ‘lone wolves’.
