In front of the Ministry of Education with Unicobas and Milan; unions are still divided
Rome, Oct. 3 (AP) - In the second consecutive day of protests and demonstrations against the cuts to the school and the Gelmini decree Unicobas protesters are on the scene and students: the Ministry before a thousand people, including many students as little more than boys, have strongly objected to the legislation before Parliament. And while the protest was held in Rome Unicobas, another thousand young people, belonging to the Coordination of student committees, marched in procession from Piazza Cairoli in Milan in piazza Fontana. Peremptory, even today, the government's response on behalf of which he spoke Maurizio Gasparri, Senate leader PDL: "It is shameful exploitation of children by irresponsible teachers who today protest against the excellent Minister Gelmini reform," he Gasparri said. An answer to the many choruses and banners appeared this morning in Viale Trastevere, just twenty-four hours 'no Gelmini Day' and trainees 'protest Sissi dell'Anief:' Better to lose a minister than a teacher ';' Gelmini and Tremonti single teacher ';' Parents do not know the whole time but you will lose, '' The dictatorship scares you, here is your culture ', are some of the slogans written and spoken by protesters in front of the Ministry of Education. The protest was joined by hundreds of students gathered under the name 'taglialagelmini.it': the cry of "mend the school cut the Gelmini," the student group has fielded a unique cutting protest, armed with scissors, clothes a mannequin with the features of the Minister.
The presence of so many young people, however, has also threatened to undermine the protest of Unicobas: when it is now Senator Antonio Di Pietro (IDV), who recently had 'supported' the event, set off whistles and protests. "It seems masochistic blame Di Pietro Gelmini and not - then explained the leader Unicobas Stefano D'Errico - because at least he opposes it seriously. It 'was a challenge undemocratic and non-civil unfortunately among young people and students prevails today a faint anti-political. " "Although it would be served a protest and a burst of pride extended to all unions, the government can not but take account of today's demonstration," he stressed controversially D'Errico blaming the other unions were guilty of not being able to agree to set a single date of mobilization. A situation that affects not just the poor adherence of personnel to the many (too many) strikes the school, thus giving reason, in fact, the interpretation of Minister Gelmini, who yesterday called "fringes isolated" those involved in the protest. It is no coincidence that the same Ministry of Education did now know that the 16.45 "Participating in the strike called by the trade union federation Altrascuola Unicobas was equal to 2.06%." "But we are here in the streets to say no to a decree at the right time - D'Errico has continued - while the confederate did not even have an hour to strike. The Guild will strike without express 16. And the 17 Cobas insisting on a fixed date in June when the government had not yet thrown the mask. Now, beginning next week will decide the fate of the decree law school. Get off the streets in what sense can be made games? ". The fears of the unionist Unicobas have got translated into reality today is in fact concluded the general discussion in the classroom of the school room on the amendments to the decree. The examination of the measure will resume next Monday, the court is reconvened Monday, October 6, but according to some representatives of the opposition's vote of confidence would be imminent. The ability to see dl approved a short-term breaks, however, the trade unions as 'concert': the CISL, for example, is not willing to take to the streets immediately, "you can not do reforms that are not shared by the parties, and that is, by the workers of the school, "said the leader Raffaele Bonanni, indicating that" it is not in a hurry and neither with the cuts that you may face problems in school. " Definitely more 'strong', but the words of the new FLC-CGIL secretary Domenico Pantaleo, who also wanted to respond to the sinking of yesterday Berlusconi: his "are unwarranted and ungenerous: the union has always been a factor in innovation, including the pedagogical point of view. The plan however Gelmini - counterattacked Pantaleo - even trying, I can not see innovations. " Waiting for a clear answer of the unions, tomorrow back to the streets, always in front of the ministry in Rome, the Student Network.
Monday touch, this time Deputies, the Democratic Party: while in the courtroom will begin to vote for the Gelmini decree, the largest opposition party in the street, along with various coordinations of teachers and parents, will carry out yet another sit-in.
