Adnkronos - ultimoratop: Sanità, Zullo (Fdi): "E' priorità del Governo, criticità di oggi accumulate negli anni"

(Adnkronos) - 'Gap di medici e differenze regionali tra le difficoltà del Ssn'

Tears and repression, the dangerous drift of the police.

The injury to Marco Basoccu during the brawls preceding the Derby della Mole was dismissed as a consequence of skirmishes between the supporters of the two teams. A clash between organized fan groups, always portrayed as informal masses, bordering on uncivilized, and of dangerous nature. Testimonies point in another direction: both the injured boy’s father and the friend who was with him, state that the young man was hit by a tear gas grenade fired at eye level by law enforcement. A version that recalls other recent episodes. On October 2nd, during a demonstration for Palestine near Bologna Central Station, a girl was hit by a tear gas grenade fired at eye level, subsequently beaten by officers instead of being assisted. Lince, as the girl is called for anonymity reasons, remained blind in one eye as a result of this incident.

Always in the Bologna city, witnesses and demonstrators report that in the months preceding, during demonstrations against the construction of the Children’s Museum at Pilastro, the use of tear gas fired at eye level was frequent, and only the expertise of some experienced demonstrators prevented the worst. What is happening with the Italian police? Or better, with the authorities responsible for maintaining public order? We are told that it is tangible evidence of the authoritarian involution imprinted by the current government. Ultras, demonstrators, neighborhood committees, ravers, embody mass aggregations, unfiltered by any domesticable mode. That move in opposition to ordered, disciplined, or conventional aggregations, such as those of tourist villages. That is enough to arouse the concern of a government that has distinguished itself from the beginning with the anti-rave decree, and that, through security decrees, aims to prevent spontaneous or politically charged aggregations, increasing police powers, incentivizing red zones, punishing road blockades and sit-ins, reintroducing preventative arrest. Even through the extension of DASPO, a measure originally intended specifically for football ultras, to other types of conduct.

We are facing a real fear of the masses, as incubators of interactions and elaborations that could seriously disturb the manipulator. Therefore, it is chosen to operate on the symbolic plane, for example, deploying officers in riot gear and guarding stations. To channel outwards the message that mass gatherings are dangerous. By sending an intimidating message to the demonstrators. Where preventive repression fails, tear gas at eye level arrives. This is a dangerous drift, harmful to civil and political liberties, which would require a coordinated mobilization to counter it. Before it’s too late.
