This sounds really bad and I'm afraid it's even worse than it sounds. For example, end of 2022 Italy introduced a law which bans certain types of harmless assemblies (rave parties) of more than 50 people (participants can be put to jail for up to 6 years). This is paving the road for cutting possibilities of people to protest against their government. (Imagine, there is a a protest and somebody plays music. The government will see a rave party.) Yet the Italian government seems to have no problem with 3000 neofascists visiting the hometown of Mussolini. And now this.
I'm curious if you feel the same way about Italy and nearly every other country already banning protests because "it's for yours or others safety" like they dd when they passed extremely Draconian covid policies.
And this is not hypothetical. Police didn't allow people to manifest against the gov.
What you say is bad, but it I hope people would be consistently appalled. Not just partisan based.
