"The security decree produces repression of dissent, even peacefully manifested dissent. They have increased the crimes, there are 14 new crimes in this decree'. So said PD secretary Elly Schlein speaking on 'Agora weekend' on RaiTre. "We have done a hard job of filibustering in Parliament and we will continue to oppose this unjust decree approved with an unprecedented forcing.""
A delegation from the Democratic Party took part in the national demonstration against the security bill in Rome tomorrow. Present were Senate group leader Francesco Boccia and Cecilia D'Elia, Antonio Nicita, Matteo Orfini and Andrea Casu. Various souls converged in the mobilisation, including the housing and student movements that left from La Sapienza University to join the procession in Piazza Vittorio.
Tajani: speaks out on deep social problem
On the security decree 'we go and ask, not the demonstrators, but the citizens what the problems are. Do citizens who live in the suburbs feel safe? Do parents feel safe sending a 15-16 year old daughter around stations, perhaps to go to school in the morning? Or to return from work in the evening? Do we feel safe about how our wives, our daughters, our mothers feel when they take a train in the far suburbs'. This was said by the deputy prime minister and national secretary of Forza Italia Antonio Tajani responding, on the sidelines of the party's youth congress that recently kicked off in Rome, to a question on today's demonstration on the Security decree.
Why is the government intervening? "Because there is a profound social problem, I came from a visit to Bergamo and Brescia and one of the fundamental points was security and so if the government decides to intervene to ensure the security of citizens I think it is doing the right thing, after which the opposition wants, less security? Support those who smash shop windows, those who attack the police? Or do we want to have the courage and strength to stop delinquency? This is what we must do,' Tajani concluded.
