Saturday, December 4: The thirty candlelight vigil in defense of common goods. A firm response to those who want to skip a half million signatures collected in support of the referendum. For the moratorium. And for the withdrawal, in Trentino, "Gilmozzi proposal" included in financial 2011.
bright Saturday in Trento. Lit by 700 torches. Heated by a large, peaceful, tenacious determination.
700 people, many attended the candlelight vigil for water and common property, organized by the committees of the Common Good Water Trentino, supported by citizen groups who carry out battles large and small attacks against industrial, chemical, building on our territory, that communities consider unsuitable unjustified. Unjust.
700 people, including hundreds of university students and average, which for days across Italy are courageously putting themselves in the game, facing nightsticks and police, ignorance and ridicule, to defend the right to study for them and for those after them will access to schools and colleges without distinction, and classism.
Common goods: water, air, land and culture.
Saturday through the streets and squares of Trento, around monuments and fountains. This collection is the company involved. The citizenry that wants to take back the word. People who want to fill a policy devoid of meaning, which is based on precepts that can not be shared. People who are studying the laws, know the territory, which are now realizing.
the streets and among the people held the post of the alternative: another world possible, another thought possible where there is space, where you can still get together and decide without overpowering. And the parameters are not lonely profits, but the shared values.
Belenzani We have gone from street in the heart of the historic city center. They arrived students from the Faculty of Sociology of the workers, who earlier had dropped a banner from the Tower of civic Cathedral: "We thirst for knowledge is not privatized." We were already so many. We lit the torch, unfurled banners, made from the music.
Along the way, many others have been added.
From open mic, appeals to the defense of the mountains, against privatization, for a joint development of the management of public goods. Appeals in support of the referendum questions, so we worked in thousands in the spring to collect signatures. Because they are respected, including through the implementation of a moratorium to freeze the Ronchi Decree, already active with the end of the year. And because the referendum against the privatization of water services is carried out in 2011 so as expected, without the ballet government poised seriously affects a path of true democracy.
We arrived in Piazza Duomo in Trento. 700 smiling faces, which are made guardians of the collective, who love the land, water, which want to start listening to the voice of the University who would like to head as well.
Guardians of the commons.
On December 4 of Trent joined the demonstrations in many cities of Italy have brought an impressive number of people in the streets again, with creativity and joy. A Dec. 4 that he spoke to Mexico, Cancun, and the work of COP 16 are still hoping to fool someone on possible real changes in government policies that are devastating worldwide territories, engaging in conflict, creating new forms of poverty every day.
A December 4, as in all of Italy in Trento, difficult to manipulate. Even for those who are afraid of spontaneous horizontal movements. Even for those who say that civil society has the right to have his say, but then the decisions are made in the toilets and in the high offices of the blue car. Even for those who at the sight of hundreds of torches and smiling faces, tells us to go to work. Because real life is one in which everyone thinks for himself, and devil take the hindmost.
700 torches were a nice glance. Expressed quello che le 700 persone che le stavano portando, volevano dire: calore, luce, unione; ci prendiamo la città per qualche ora, ci prendiamo la vostra attenzione per qualche tempo. Gridiamo con gentilezza che abbiamo bisogno di poter essere ascoltati. Perchè chi di voi ha paura di ascoltare le voci diffuse, che si stanno organizzando, che stanno innovando, porta avanti un discorso sordo, superato. Spento.
