If the dissent is a crime
of EZIO MAURO
front of a protest against the school reform that is being extended throughout 'Italy and involves students, professors, deans and even presidents, the prime minister responded by announcing that the University will send the police to prevent the occupation. Berlusconi's capacity to criminalize all forms of opposition to his leadership has now come so far, a project to militarize education reform, to transform the birth of a movement on offense to make the issue a matter of public policy university, bringing forty years after the law enforcement successes in the universities without any incidents and clashes, but almost foreshadowing.
Someone should explain to the Premier that the public debate and dissent are proper elements of a democratic society, not attacks on the totem of the supreme power to decide without any limit and any conditions, which transforms the legitimate autonomy of the government in control and will . As if the government of the country was also the only party member to "do" politics in the Italy of 2008, an outline of subjects. And as if the students were customers, not actors, a school where education is a service and not a right.
If there was a calculation, the phrases seem to think Berlusconi on purpose to burn the University, in confusing a bonfire rival school children (perhaps with the different media of some disorder) and the protesters of the Democratic Party, on Saturday. But more than the calculation, has the instinct, and above all the true figure of Berlusconi's power, that is the intolerance for dissent.
Witness the attack on the newspaper and the RAI done by a premier publisher, owner of three private television stations and with the political control of the three networks, so no sense of decency, as the space dedicated in September by the six major news the government, its leader and the majority ranged from 50.17 percent to 82, 25. Maybe Berlusconi wants to militarize the free residual printing. Or perhaps "save", as he will with the banks.
