me an e-mail arrives as I write this post, in which the circle IDV "Peppino Impastato" my city apologizes for not giving everyone a chance to follow the intervention of Marco Travaglio to Santa Maria della Scala, across from the cathedral. In fact put two hurdles to channel the flood of people would have been useful, but there is little to criticize the young Italy of Values.
The administration of Siena (a Democratic Party majority , note well) it actually allowed the organization to have adequate space how could I say Piazza del Campo Independence Square but at least she would be enough to contain a couple of thousand people. A small table, a pair of amplifiers and the game was done.
But no: a thousand dies, a thousand bureaucratic corners, thousand denials, a thousand obstacles. It was not even allowed them to install a screen outside the Santa Maria to let those who would not be able to enter to follow the meeting. The reason was that the sound waves cause damage to works of art.
Score: yesterday evening in front of the cathedral were and passes a thousand people, including myself, who have remained in line for an hour and a half just to be seen slamming the door on . Safety reasons, they say. There are not enough emergency exits inside - when we were left queuing outside without a vigilant watch and without a barrier. The crowd grew angry and began to shout "Shame". Only the intervention of Mark's audio-only broadcast, among other things, to a low volume as to not offend the sensibilities of gentlemen administrators, managed to calm everyone down. We have not made a good impression.
I am writing this because people were pissed off last night with the organizers of course, that instead of faults have little or none. The town of Siena is always more than willing to provide space and funding when it comes to host events like the prize idiot Frajese or mob type Sgarbi, or if there is any event that has to do with just a smear the Palio. If there is to be received as a journalist Travaglio them critical you boycott.
Last night I stood on the steps of the cathedral with the iPad to write about what was happening and I start talking to some people close to them, as I am pissed. "But why have not they done in the square? is public land! " I say to a guy, who promptly takes me back to reality reminding me that the streets are not common, but their use is at the discretion of the municipality . Another way to make fun of preempted. In fact, the districts sawing in two squares, closed roads and make a mess shocking for the simple dinner, with music blasting a thousand but obviously does not damage any work of art - and that's fine. The town spends hundreds of thousands of euro to organize New Year's idiots with Laura Pausini and other amenities in the square of the field and not ruin any work of art, there is no problem of public order and so on. This is called prevarication, is called hypocrisy and above is called "Italians are so obviously good, but since there was no one who is pissed off.
Even in these things, a bit 'all over Italy to be honest, we lost a sense of what our rights. First and foremost the freedom of speech, it must include the right for all to hear that word .
