A Wisdom in military posture
University patrolled by police and the police. Students protest outside but remain
lacked only the barbed wire and a sign to warn of the "impassable limit." For the rest it was all there. There were riot police to patrol every opening. There were armored vehicles with the engine running ready to load. There were helicopters to control all from above. But above all, there was an air tight, a surreal atmosphere. It had been years that you could not see the wisdom in this way militarized. I suppose there never has been, not even looking at '77. Why even the Pope has reversed itself and declined academic, for the first university in the capital has not changed anything. It had to be reinforced and was reinforced. As planned. So: you enter just by showing your student card and proof of identity. Students are surprised, even those who simply asked to go to attend classes or take examinations. Nothing, "available from the top, they say laconic agents. It 's the last minute wild card out from the deck of the rector Renato Guarini. A "retaliatory beautiful and good" according to the student movement in response to the 'humiliation' of papale.Ma even for those who refuse to cross the threshold of the university scenario remains unchanged. In the streets inside the citadel a web of barriers limiting the movement of panic a few students in the area and defines an area of \u200b\u200bsecurity behind and in front of the rectory, around the statue of Minerva. I am 11 and in the Great Hall Mussi and Veltroni are committed to Secularism and know about. Outside, next to the Faculty of Law, several dozen young activists of Action, the student organization close to the National Alliance, chanting slogans Ratzinger. Will the only ones allowed inside the university choirs. For everyone who disagrees with the official ceremony is outside. Face to face with police in riot gear deployed in defense of you do not know what. "Terrorists" and "bloody," as defined them as much press these days, guilty of having prevented the pope to inaugurate the academic year. Blocked the entrance of Via De Lollis for "reasons of public order." They are the collective and the university network for self-training, organizers of the protest, which were also added to the Cobas (with Piero Bernocchi in the head), the No Vat, Red Megaphone, community centers and committees of struggle for the home. There is also a member of the PRC Francesco Caruso, who obtained permission to go and talk to Guarini to request the opening of the gates. All, however, students of Wisdom and not. "The decision of the police," he says hastily the Magnificent. 'E' as required by the rector, "the lie to the Commissioner of tragicomic polizia.In this context, everything remains static. And students are left out, with their songs and their banners of dissent. "Gagging criticism kills the university," they yell. "What happened today is a very serious," says George Sestili coordination Collective, because "to enter the members only of Wisdom is a place that is closed to the public. Had also joined the protest associations and organizations who have come from other universities. So it impossible for people to express their disagreement, one thing has never seen even in the darkest years of our history. "But the rector is a deaf ear and remains firm on his positions. "I refused to discuss the reasons for extremists who try to incite hatred of disorder and no ideal and constructive suggestion," says late in the evening and only when inside and outside the university, will be returned to the granting calma.Unica , a short march around campus. Always under the watchful eye of law enforcement and the time needed to get out only by one thereby removing Mussi and Veltroni unpleasant situations. But there's all the same. Only back in the early afternoon calm. A Piazzale Aldo Moro re-open the gates and students can then be inserted within the town without any control and leaving the card in his pocket. Just as the guys in that group, after the "Frocessione" on the streets of San Lorenzo, were able to revise the statue of Minerva to the cry of 'we recover the university. "
