I was there! I can say with a pinch of pride ... E 'was an important day for democracy in Italy, and not just because hundreds of thousands of people gathered in dozens of places with the "only" force network, but because they wanted to make clear to our politicians that the Italians are not all ready to be puppets of the maneuver at will. In that square there was an atmosphere other than Saturday, a mix of anger and at the same time hope to be able to really change anything.
I know it's still little but I think it's the beginning of a great change. The important thing is to keep our feet on the ground and I think it will come out ...
On stage there was also a Marco Travaglio Monday that wrote this article about the unit.
Marco Travaglio
To see the news of the regime, that is, nearly all of Saturday in Bologna and other places nothing happened (a lot of space Instead of marriage Baldini, Fiorello's friend). To read the newspapers of the scheme (many), the V-Day was a triumph of the 'anti-politics "of" populism ", the" justicialism "and" indifference. " In a country that has lost his memory and abolished the logic, this inversion of the vocabulary is all there: the real politics is anti-politics, populism became popular participation, the thirst for justice becomes justicialism, do the names of the thieves instead of yelling "all thieves "and whatever. In fact, the V-Day was anti-political, populist, and any executioner, lorsignori had established even before the see it, to know what it was. Whatever. They did not know and do not know (there were) and for the whole day, in 200 squares in Italy and abroad, thousands of young people from the Meet-up grilleschi have collected 300 000 signatures (you only need 50 000) in the bottom of a proposal for a popular law that calls for a ban for those convicted of a seat in parliament, the upper limit of two terms for the return to parliamentary and citizens' right to choose their representatives on the ballot. That is, have exercised a right under the Constitution, to bring to the attention of three rooms 'political' question how many other ever. And they did with the weapon oldest and most genuine of any democracy: the manifestation of the square. That square that, when dealing with Berlusconi and Bossi and Casini and Mastella to ask for things unconstitutional, all invited to "listen". And when dealing with a million people, almost all young, without labels or flags (many were badly counted, Saturday, from Bologna to New York, where the 20 signatories to the petition were 300 000, many were still lined up at midnight and many more were abandoned to return home) becomes a reproach to ignore and avoid. While the V-Day after, start from Bologna to return home, call Beppe Grillo to comment in the cold: he tells me, laughing like a madman, that phoned his old manager, "Cenci" Marangoni, saying that Villanova Bagnacavallo there is still the line at the banquets. And Villanova Bagnacavallo are four cats, mostly of a certain age, and who knows what they have done to know that there were banquets since he has not said no tv and almost any newspaper. But if you sign Villanova Bagnacavallo yet, maybe this is not anti-politics: this is superpolitica. And 'anti-politics to defend the dignity of Parliament tarnished by the presence of 24 affected and eighty suspects, accused, condemned and forfeited interim? And 'anti-politics seek to return sovereignty to the people with a law any election, provided they choose to be elected and the voters did not elect the same? And 'anti-politics claim that the policy back to be a service that is suitable for a limited period of time (ten years maximum), after which you return to work or, if no one has ever done this thrilling experience, look for a job like everyone else? And 'anti-political demand respect for the judiciary and say thanks to Clementina Forleo and independent judges like her? Who was it in Piazza Maggiore in Bologna, or in connection to the rest of Italy and abroad, has seen tens of thousands of people stand up from noon to midnight. He heard Grillo seek tolerance "of these" parties, parties of the inflated tiles, fake Congress, the primaries halved (see exclusion Furio Colombo, Di Pietro and panels), the same law for others to deny wanting to create a new one, and noted that the "abuses" by hunting are not walking and window washers, but politicians and corrupt bankers or collude. An economist, Mauro Gallegati, explain the failure of temporary work in a labor market with no market and no job. A great architect Majowiecki explain the crimes that cement sow his colleagues in Italy and Europe with the complicity of administrators senseless, and possible alternatives to a way of "light" of thinking and build cities and infrastructure. Alexander Berger explain democratic participation with a sweeping narration ("Who did it? I am the State"). An expert in alternative energies such as Maurizio Pallante tell what could be done in the field of environment and energy instead of incineration, incinerators, coal-fired and high-speed trains for the mozzarella. The guys from Locri launch yet another cry of pain from Calabria in the underworld and bad politics. Judge Norberto Lenzi risking disciplinary proceedings to warn that Berlusconi is alive and fight with us, even on the left. Sabina Guzzanti take the piss fuffista and compliance of the drift. Parents Federico Aldovrandi tell, in a silence mingled with tears, the tragedy of his son who died two years ago during a "police control". Massimo Fini a lecture on the decline of representative democracy citing Kelsen, Mosca and Pareto. The journalist Ferruccio Sansa synthesize its investigation on the "treasure" from € 100 billion that the state has never received by dealers, often criminals, the video poker and other games, a mega-tax evasion discovered by Woodcock pm and the Guardia di Finanza but covered with incredible silence government. Eventually I talked to myself: I recalled Lirio Abbate threatened by the Mafia, I have tried to explain that zero tolerance has to start, as in New York of Giuliani, the mafia and corrupt, not the washer and the street, and I defended Cofferati, which will have many defects, but not from the poor, as first claimed by employers on the legal status of employees. I made several names, like everyone else on the stage in Piazza Maggiore. Now I discover that the names would do "whatever" and talk in general, to say nothing, then what is it? PS I spent the whole afternoon under the stage and on stage, and I never heard I do not say "against" Marco Biagi, but "of" Marco Biagi. The name "Marco Biagi" layer is never quoted in full. Has been said a couple of times that the Law of 30 illegally made out to the Berlusconi government professor assassinated, that he could not rebel, as a minister of that government called it a "pain in the ass." And he spoke to ask Cricket to reform it, along with the Treu Act, adding however that "the real problem are not even laws: is that in Italy there is no work." I say this because a friend, the former court commissioner hours Libero Mancuso, no one has seen the event, spoke of alleged "insults to Biagi." I can assure you that if someone from the stage, he really disrespected Marco Biagi, on that stage none of us, even Grillo, would remain a minute longer.
