Charlotte Matteini said she was not surprised and attributed the surprise of some to the fact that in the past they had not wanted to see the problems. She wrote that for years entire categories of citizens had reported economic difficulties, schools in poor condition, and the rising cost of living, receiving indiffernce and formulaic responses in return. According to Matteini, when legitimate forms of protest did not produce results, violence did not arise from nothing, but from a lack of listening. She argued that power often only paid attention when the situation became heated, and that this was true for France, Italy, and Europe. #Democrazia #Ascolto #Politica (translated)
