"Against your truncheons.
If you cry, resign": we read on the banner displayed in Piazza Beniamino Gigli in Rome, in front of the Opera Theater and a few meters from the Interior Ministry, for the demonstration promoted by the Lazio middle school students' network "against the beatings and the management of We cry. For a democratic state that respects the right to demonstrate".
The song "Casa mia" by Ghali plays on the speakers.
The students, at least a hundred, wave flags of peace and Palestine.
Not only them, in addition to the University Union, the collectives of La Sapienza and even some schools in the capital, exponents of Anpi Roma, ArciRoma and CGIL Roma Lazio also join the mobilization.
The sit in was born after the events in Pisa, Florence and Catania which involved male and female students.
Also present was MP Nicola Zingaretti.
"Your hands are covered in blood", "Censorship plus truncheons equals fascism", "We want culture, you give us violence", "Poor homeland, crushed by the abuses of power": these are some signs displayed by the kids.
