When in 2005 a group of women created the Committee "We go from silence" in response to attacks on the Act 194 and the freedom of self-determination, some feminist groups gathered under a different name, very eloquent, "never were silent. " That name was born from the need to raise a debate, open, why not a polemic. There were those who look at issues he had never set aside, and those days of struggle, maybe gone into the silence of others, she would not forget them.
The appeal made by the PD and taken up by the Republic, right in the mobilization called by the defense in Article 21 of the Constitution, to come down to the streets March 12 in defense of public education, has for us the flavor of that debate. It may perhaps be Franceschini, absent from the streets this fall, the supervisors of employees in 2009, attacked by the faculties in 2008 by the Wave, to determine the schedule of the movement of students, temporary workers and teachers, all those people that always fighting for the defense of public education from the attacks of all, everyone, governments? Or it may be a newspaper to raise a lot of mobilization without the involvement of those organizations and collectives that have been the engine of the movement to defend public education, from primary research?
Apparently they can. It would be a mistake in the heat of legitimate controversy, latent in the Italy of Berlusconi's dictatorship, just missed an opportunity to express dissent, their anger, their indignation. The opportunity to bring an alternative to the streets. But we do not want to be associated with PD and even members of the Republic of columnists who defended the "innovative project" Reform of the University, let alone to Members and the Future of Freedom, the architects of the last stab to the public education system. We are more. We are those who have never been quiet.
We will place March 12 as we stood in the hot days of the Wave of 2008, as We were in the autumn of 2009 together with the school's precarious learned and suffered the dire consequences of cuts to public education, as we were joyful events this fall in October and suppressed the demonstrations with batons and tear gas in December. March 12 is not for us the moment of awakening, but the natural continuation of a battle that began several years ago. Started from the complaints to the Minister and the Minister Berlinguer Zecchino. At that time only we see that autonomy, private schools, business models were deleterious mechanisms that led to the massacre of the public education system. Someone accused then why attacked a center-left government. We were right.
Il 12 marzo è un'occasione. Tante volte in piazza ci siamo chiesti dove fossero le cittadine e i cittadini comuni, le persone che non lavorano nella scuola e non la frequentano ma che comprendono bene l'importanza di un'istruzione statale, obbligo della Repubblica. Ci siamo sentiti spesso soli. Forse il 12 marzo loro ci saranno e noi dobbiamo essere presenti. Per incontrarli, per conoscerli, per coinvolgerli nelle nostre battaglie. Per convertire in impegno politico quella simpatia manifestata sui divani di casa di fronte alla televisione che mandava in onda i servizi sulle manifestazioni studentesche.
Ma il 12 marzo è anche il sintomo di un'opposizione senza proposte. Il movimento per l'istruzione public more and more likely to get lost in a defensive battle. Our task seems limited to the reaction. And if the first was the need to stop an unfortunate law now are the statements of Mr Berlusconi to take us to the streets. Saturday, and will demonstrate, on this we ask, looking around, reading the proposals and actions of political parties will stand beside us. Management of educational institutions, funding to schools and private universities, investment in research, development of teachers. These are the issues on which, by March 12, we face. To realize the project of a new education possible. Without private and no manager, no priests, and perhaps with more money.
On March 12 we will be in place with all our enthusiasm, the office of anger that we have in the body, with memories of the past few months in mobilization and of their responsibility towards the destruction of all public knowledge in Italy. We are aware that the streets we have never been quiet and that some, only now are emerging from silence.
