The government signed into law the decree 137. He did it at great speed, as is happening to all measures affecting the school and the university. It has rightly been condemned quest'arroganza, but we focused on the why: because coerce time, place confidence, prevent debates? For contempt of Rooms? But if have an overwhelming majority! The answer seems simple: prolonged parliamentary debates would facilitate the movement of information between parents and teachers, and thus would increase their response capacity. They have miscalculated? I would say yes.
Movement, this movement does not cease to grow. I do not think that our leaders, and even the opposition, become really aware of what is happening in the country. It 'a grassroots movement, molecular, uncontrolled taking shape since early September, although its existence media have noticed only now. Its molecules are joint committees of parents and teachers of elementary and kindergarten. Only in Milan new ones are arising daily. The government says they are handled by the left. Maybe some of us might say. And instead it is the disappearance of the left and a credible and combative opposition that has made everyone understand that the school had to save himself without delegating.
The government hopes that, thanks to fast action, this mass of people return home. Again, you are mistaken. The force imposed by Berlusconi steps have increased the anger and indignation of the movement. The frustration is not being transformed in the sense of helplessness and depression, because in these weeks we have experienced our strength. Without help from anyone we have imposed media and the entire public of the urgency of school and university.
It 's a strength that comes from the determination, imagination, but also by a simple factor, which has always frightened, for ever, any government in power: the power of numbers. We are many. And the more the movement branches from the big cities down to small municipalities, these numbers become more people. And the only factor able to stop those who govern us. Berlusconi can not ignore the movement, but the polls for the first time the damage down, and thanks to the school. And in a while 'there will be administrative. .. Gelmini has lost to the teachers, otherwise he would not say such and such nonsense, no can afford to give, however, lost their parents. The people of the school is a flood of workers, but also, and even more: father, mother, grandparents, students ...
Someone somewhere is looking for room to practice the words for age Cossiga says now freely, after being hidden for years. I was not raised at the time, but I remember when the then interior minister called for national unity because the "students criminals" devastated Italy. We always suspected, but now he says: it was tactical, and quite a few 'of the windows have split its agents. I really think that not tempt the same game? Of fools of us willing to play his game frankly I see little. I see rather a lot of ingenuity. As students who imagined that Rome was indeed possible to manifest together to those of the extreme right. We must now only count on the number. Expanded, because the movement did not reach the its full potential, not all universities have moved, the school teachers and the averages are still , many common small and medium cities should be reached, the meetings with the parents the information we have yet to be organized in many places ... We are millions, because these are the numbers of schools and public universities, and we must ask ourselves in a position to "be" the millions.
Some imagine that now come home. And here perhaps is not a communication effort on the part of the movement. It is therefore necessary to reiterate concepts. What has been approved is a law that is only a piece of all legislative adjustments that will be voted to pass the cuts, cuts that were passed on August 6 with the Article of Law No. 133 .64. Still need to get out the laws regarding middle and high schools, universities and kindergartens, have yet to leave their implementing regulations, as do the measures set out include other passages 137 before being applied. After all the cuts will be spread over three long years. The eight billion in cuts to the school are thoroughly settled in the budget law, which must be voted yet. We have before us many months of resistance in schools and universities. It will be tough? Yeah sure, but Let's see even from their point of view: a mobilization that and that will not cease until the time of enrollment, and then training of staff, disputed point by point, year after year ... is not the first time that a law is passed and its content is not applied. Fioroni knows something that he too wanted so cut ... (Yes, less than Gelmini, but the difference between them, then, is how much?). But this should gear up to fight: strengthening the structures of the movement, connecting with each other, practicing the unity from below, by inventing forms of struggle long and sustainable. ..
heard a lot in these hours of referendum. It 's a mistake. It is putting up a machine that absorbs an enormous amount of energy to more uncertain outcomes, and at a time when the struggle has just begun. This may be considered, certainly, but not before the path to the end of any possibility mobiltazione in schools, universities, roads. Meanwhile, the institutional opposition forces could make a very nice thing: to adapt their programs and their proposals. The PD is still the idea of \u200b\u200bcutting the public school, but 8 not 6 billion, for example? The proposed referendum, however, shows that at least one small step they did: the demand of withdrawal of the 137, because until a week ago were not on this line. Well, now I ask for another small step: the demand for repeal of the 133 articles relating to schools and universities. Yes, because even if you were a referendum on the 137, would be the 133, which cuts . And the debate would be: the cuts are, in elementary we implement them, and then who do out?
The strike of 30 clearly shows the way forward. Of course, we do not strike a lot, but we know to be creative in finding new forms of struggle. It 'a strike called by unions majority, but that the whole movement has seized. It will strike with an unprecedented breadth events. Berlusconi had hoped, the day before approving the bill, compared to the discouraging participation. The success of this day we hope the show without a shadow of doubt that continues to fail evaluation, we are only beginning.
The contemporary economic crisis and cuts in schools and universities is a kind of metaphor. Governments around the world for twenty years after having lectured on the virtues of the market left by State, the money (state) for banks found them immediately. And, in exactly the same time, take away money for education, in Italy, but also in France: the money, which gets our money, run and go from here to there, from our classrooms to their accounts. The manifestation of self-organized in Milan on 30 will be open from a banner right symbolically by all social actors involved in the struggle: teachers, university average. It says: " schools and universities will not pay for your crisis."
Tremonti, benefactor of the banks, Gelmini, thief of school: we decide when the game is closed.
