In Italy, the affair of the FFP2 masks provided by the State to the police has been making headlines for several days. The reactions are divided.

Is the color pink appropriate for law enforcement? This is the controversy everyone has been talking about in Italy for a few days. In question, the delivery to law enforcement of FFP2 masks… pink. “The important thing is that it is well put, it is its function that matters, not its color“, says a passerby.

According to some police unions, however, it would be impossible to have a function of authority and to be able to exercise the safeguard of public order with pink masks. Police forces refuse to wear this new equipment. The Italian administration will no doubt be saved by the teachers’ unions”who agreed to collect these pink masks and use them in schools, to teach in front of children“, concludes the correspondent of France Télévisions in Rome, Alban Mikoczy.
