Without heating or light
The official finally called the police, leaving the demonstrators stuck on the ground near the cars for nearly 42 hours without a solution to relieve themselves.
On Twitter, Gianluca Grimalda, one of the scientists who led the action, deplores
the "hypocrisy
" of the director of the site, who had nevertheless authorized them, according to him, to demonstrate.
Gianluca even went on a hunger strike during the action to protest against this treatment.
He was finally evacuated a few hours before the arrival of the police, having found that his hand glued to the ground was swelling, due to the potential presence of blood clots.
