Genoa – After the occupation of the scientific high school Fermi of Sampierdarena, which started last Wednesday and ended on Sunday morning, including the students of the art high school branch Klee's Battistine climb (between Portello and via Bertani) have started the occupation of the classrooms. It is currently unknown how long the students intend to occupy the facility. She intervened on the spot the Digosbut the situation is peaceful.
The students of the Klee branch – who, unlike Fermi, did not rely on organized student groups – sent a long statement to explain the reasons for the gesture.
“In a school that kills, in a State that imposes through the institutions, we felt the need for direct action, which does not aim at a restructured change, but at the creation of a new model. This school model, the current one, ever closer to industry, is leading to the defeat of an entire generation; with the PCT (the former school-work alternation, ed.) they impose work on us even before we leave school, they want us to be slaves, they want to teach us to stay silent and to work, under a master”.
Very decisive tones in the statement: “Two years ago three of our peers, students, were killed during the school-work alternation. We, like them, are victims of this corrupt system that reflects on the profit of its own pockets, on the operation of Capital machine which in order to function requires uncultivated minds that are subservient to their interests”.
“They deny us space – continues the committee – this year we have witnessed three evictions in the space of a few months, that of the Zapatathat of Nobody's land and that of Veranda of Oregina, and now also to the threats to buridda. By taking away our spaces they aim to limit the possibility of self-training, of taking initiatives, forced evictions like these arise with the intention of “correcting” the opposition, killing it. This occupation arose spontaneously in the name of all the oppressed, all those who are denied the Freedom to express themselves, the Freedom to exist, to those who are locked up in prisons.” The statement expresses solidarity with Alfredo Cospitoanarchist detained within the 41bis regime for more than a year, e Ilaria Salissentenced to Hungarian prison”.
“This is an occupation that was also born in solidarity with those who are deprived of the possibility of studying, due to an overly greedy boss whose only interest is financial. Meanwhile in Gaza (and not only) the people are dying, in blood and suffering”, write the students who also attack solidarity and collaboration initiatives between theUniversity and Israelas well as the passage of weapons in the port of Genoa and are inspired by the university occupation initiative in via Balbi.
