C-Day in London: "For a new Italy no longer a slave of the powers"

The C-Day was named today to rally in London as the capital of many Italians who have gathered in front of Downing Street to make their voices heard. Under a warm sun of March in London, the protesters arrived in front of the residence of Prime Minister David Cameron, armed with placards, banners and megaphones.

One of them reads: "Wanted chairman of honest, decent, respectful of the Constitution. Refrain mythomaniac, sessodipendenti, collude and blackmailed. " About 150 people attended the sit-in organized by the people in the capital London Viola, the group's former star foreign detachment of several public events in recent months.

Some passing tourists, many residents, who emigrated from Italy in search of work and opportunity. "We have to continually defend a Constitution trampled on and violated by our rulers," said the first speaker of the People Viola. "We express here the streets as Italian, even though we are far away.

"We want a new country, no longer a slave of income and power, which really come in Europe." Following the success of the event "If not now, when?" Last February - which, only in London, were attended by over 400 people - even today the Italians at home and abroad, have occurred in the streets in defense of the law for them is all right, without reshuffles.

Speaking to speak of justice, law, education, youth and insecurity. "There are more tolerable privileges," say the boys, that weary Italy eliminating competition and stealing the rights and perspectives. Angelo Chiaretti, Mondaino, Rimini, Dante Alighieri has played a champion of the Constitution, complete with a red tunic and hat: "More than seven centuries ago, Dante has taught us that the state government can not be a private matter.

The Italy of today can be described well with the verses of the poet, who writes in Canto VI of Purgatory: "Ah, Italy, grief's hostelry ship without a helmsman in a mighty storm, no woman of Provinces, but brothel." Mention as well as Dante, Mazzini, Calamandrei and other great figures of the historical past of the nation.

There is a desire to change the air. Not pity, but determination and hope. Angelo Chiaretti was in London these days with his brother Geoffrey. Both dealers in Rimini, arrived in the capital of La Dolce Vita, Italian products fair held this week in Islington. "The atmosphere at the show was good, there were many people and much interest in our products," says Geoffrey Chiaretti, "but the situation is ridiculous to us, and here they know it.

He feels the weight here. " Noteworthy, the feeling of the event is not politically colored. Many are keen to say that have no particular sympathy for the current center-left, and I'm not here to protest against B. in support of the Democratic Party. "We are clearly disappointed by an opposition that is not opposition," said Serena Sardi, one of the organizers of the event.

30 years, arrived in London eight years ago to study, chose to stay. Now working for a British charity, the Seven Nation Army. For Serena, things can change. But not enough - he says - only to protest against the current prime minister, "Berlusconi is an example of a problem which is the total of Italian politics.

No need to replace it with another Berlusconi. We need a new political class that does not serve itself. "Even Henry, just six months, from his stroller wearing a sign flag for the Constitution. "If you do not defend him, who does?" Asked the Blessed Mother, doctor, originally from Cremona and living in London for 4 years.
