Has been heard and a half minutes of silence. Then he heard a cry: "If not now, when." And the answer three times: "Now, now, now." The demonstrations are called on more than 230 Italian cities, small, medium and large, and in 50 places around the world, from Tokyo to New York or Honolulu. A tide of women-and men-is coming to the streets to demand dignity and respect for women, demanding the resignation of Silvio Berlusconi and claim a new cultural model, other than Berlusconi.
In Bari, Palermo, Trieste, Pescara and Naples have made early-morning demonstrations that have gathered tens of thousands of people. In Rome and Milan start early in the evening and provide the most crowded events. "It's a female, bipartisan initiative, which exposes a cultural problem rather than political: the bombardment of television ads against the dignity of women has been an anthropological mutation in Italy," explains Concita de Gregorio, director of L'Unità, and one of the promoting a protest that has already received the support of thousands of women in all fields: film directors, actors, scientists, teachers, or members as the leader of the CGIL, Susanna Camusso.
The manifesto of Gregory Concita Other women, who gathered 100,000 signatures and has been read by some priests during Mass, said: "It's the lack of education, culture, conscience, dignity. The absence of a convincing alternative. Is that the damage caused by the 15 years we've gone through, this is the political offense committed: the void, the flight in free fall towards the cathode Middle Ages, Italy reduced to a brothel.
"He continues:" We can not have a research judicial decrees the end of Berlusconi. We must be ourselves. "Ruby's case, in which Berlusconi is expected to be sent to trial for bribery and prostitution of minors, has generated a heated debate on the status of women in Italy. The Prime Minister's supporters, led by Giuliano Ferrara, director of Il Foglio and Berlusconi's political adviser, blamed the legal attacks and the movement of Berlusconi condemned an alleged puritanical moralist who aspire to turn the country into a "Republic of Virtue." Yesterday, in a ceremony held in a theater in Milan under the motto "In shorts, but alive," Ferrara accused prosecutors of being "like the Spanish Inquisition" and use methods worthy of the Stasi.
In the last election, Ferrara was presented with a game pro-life and against abortion. But the protests, although they have been supported by all opposition parties try to go beyond the usual political opposition to Berlusconi. Women report "a cross-power system, sexist and misogynist, a model that favors social and media appearing on television and sold on the training body, thought and work", says Shukri Said, secretary of the association Migrare.
"It is a protest for freedom and equality of women and also many men who are in power: as the Ferrara veline offered each day to the Emperor and defend the indefensible and build a smokescreen to hide the truth" Said added, Somali origin and Italian citizen. "We live in a country to its knees, with a rotten ruling class, made up of puppets without credibility," he continues.
"These men are trying to tell us now that corrupt children with money is just a private matter. That put pressure on the police to drop to a lower than normal, and to attack because we are puritanical. Now that's relativism, and not the concerned about the Pope. The Berlusconi is a disease because it believes that everything is affordable.
Women must stop this cancerous system, ending the Velino. Are Italian mothers who must end this ignorance that creates lawful any disgrace to climb, even deliver their virgins to the dragon. " Teresa Vergalli, e of the partisans, wrote in L'Unità: "My mother said that a peasant woman counts for nothing, which has less than nothing.
To leave that all women have been murdered, tortured, raped. And also, perhaps unwittingly, few have all cried. There have been achievements and steps forward. But we delude ourselves that we secure the respect and due recognition. Conversely, we are going backwards. Today I will go out into the street, youth of long ago, my daughters, granddaughters and friends.
