Mannequins of Vice Premier Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio were burned in Turin during a demonstration.
Vice Premier Matteo Salvini, "these 'democratic' students, pampered by social centers and some professors, would need many hours of civic education. Perhaps they would understand that burning Salvini's mannequin and anyone else's mannequin in the square or hanging its images on the street lamps is disgusting ".
Luigi Di Maio, "events must be held". “There are guys who are demonstrating, first let's meet, the doors of the ministry are open, let's talk. Let's build a new school together, go ahead, I have been a student representative for five years, I know what the value of peaceful social pressure is. But it is not true that we cut back to schools and universities. Let's meet for a comparison".
They are two activists of the Askatasuna social center, aged 17 and 18, reports ANSA, the students identified for having set fire to mannequins depicting Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio in the center of Turin. Identified by the police, they were reported for insulting the institutions and lighting smoke bombs. The stake during the student demonstration, organized by the Self-Organized Student Kollective (KSA) and by the Student Laboratory (La.St), in which, according to the police, about 400 students participated.
"The two girls"In Turin they set fire to two mannequins with the faces of Di Maio and Salvini" were reported for insulting the institutions and for lighting smoke bombs. I hope that the complaint for contempt, a crime of medieval times, is archived as soon as possible and that a serene process of confrontation with students begins. Repression never brings anything good ”. The M5s leader and deputy premier Luigi Di Maio writes on Facebook.
“Today we are in the streets because we suffer the daily injustice of unsustainable economic costs to study. The financial maneuver announced by the government ignores the problems of students, does not provide for greater resources for the right to education or for the quality of training or research. From North to South, we will be in a state of permanent turmoil in schools and universities until we have concrete answers from the national government, while Bussetti refuses to meet student representatives today ”. Thus Giacomo Cossu, National Coordinator of the Knowledge Network. “This is not a change - he adds - we see in fact the greater expected deficit is used for amnesties to tax evaders and to cut taxes for the richest. For us young people, there is a lack of resources and concrete measures to combat precariousness in the labor market. The much touted 'change' seems to be in clear continuity with the past, because there is no project to relaunch sustainable development for our country ”.
Students in the square in Rome, traffic on tilt - Students in the square also in Rome for the right to study and safety in the school. To the cry “#Who is afraid of changing? We do not!" the event has begun in piazzale Ostiense. About three thousand participants. The protest was organized by the Student Union, Middle Students Network and Communist Youth Front.
“This morning, thousands of students took to the streets shouting“ #Who's afraid of changing? We do not!". With faces covered by Dali's masks, like the protagonists of the TV show "La casa di carta", with a flash mob in Rome in front of the Pyramid in the squares of all of Italy, they became bearers of a message of redemption towards a policy that has always done his interests on their skin ". This is said by Giammarco Manfreda, National Coordinator of the Network of Medium Students, who declares: “We needed soldiers and passives, they found us in the squares. We can no longer accept this government filling its mouth with words like "change" and then offering only regress. Cameras in schools and military service are harmful and useless measures, especially if we do not ask ourselves how to revive a school system that in the last ten years has suffered cuts for more than 8 billion and which is no longer able to be a tool for training and growth new generations: the 150 thousand students who drop out of studies each year prove it ”. Enrico Gulluni, National Coordinator of the University Union continues: "The government is demonstrating every day its inability to implement concrete actions to raise the condition of Italian public education: there is no real proposal on the University to increase ordinary funding of the university system or to exceed the limited number, but only announcements and slogans. All this, together with the appointment of Valditara, mind of the Gelmini cuts, as Head of Department, highlights a worrying lack of perspective on the issue. Today we are in the streets to claim and fight for another idea of a country, which puts school and university back at the center and invests in the younger generations ”. The young people announce new mobilizations for November 16 and 17, on the occasion of International Student Day.
Students in the square in Turin for change - Hundreds of students took to the streets in Turin to protest "against racism, the fake government of change and inequalities".

In front of the Miur, in Corso Vittorio, the boys burned a cardboard camera placed on top of the bricks. “The bricks are the ones that risk falling on our heads every day - they explain - The cameras are the ones they want to put in every school to check us”. “From schools to universities, we are building a multicultural society that educates about diversity starting from the places of knowledge”, the organizers of the event write on Facebook. Many signs against the government: "Lega Salvini and leave him tied up", "A safe school is anti-racist and anti-fascist".
