UK prime minister Rishi Sunak is inviting comparisons with Italian fascist dictator Mussolini, by rushing through a law to keep the trains running (although possibly not on time):

Rishi Sunak today vowed to stop militant trade unions de-railing Christmas as he announced new laws to ensure trains continue to run during strikes.

The Prime Minister is bringing forward legislation to enable rail operators to run the equivalent of 40 per cent of their normal timetable when staff walkouts occur.

Under the new laws, there will also be requirements for ambulance workers and border security staff to provide a minimum level of service during industrial action.
