The article analyzes the two facets of the current protests in Italy: on one side, the legitimate protest of young people and workers seeking a better future, and on the other, the acts of violence that undermine democracy and obscure the reasons for dissent. #Protesta #PattoGenerazionale #Democrazia (translated)

Italian youth are taking to the streets to demand a radical change in the current system, which they consider unsustainable and oppressive, rejecting a model of conformity linked to privileged white identity and consumerism. #GiovaniInPiazza #MovimentiSociali #DissensoAttivo (translated)

Timostene argued that after the attacks and coup attempts of the 1970s, Italian democracy was gradually being hollowed out through a more gradual process. In his opinion, Silvio Berlusconi's televisions in the 1980s and later social media had weakened critical and civic consciousness, turning public debate into a clash between fan bases. To support his thesis, he cited a study by three Italian economists published in 2019, which suggested that those who watched those televisions as children grew up with fewer critical tools and civic sense. Timostene also stated that in an increasingly older and frightened country, elections could be easily won and that Parliament had been progressively emptied: he pointed out that there were almost three votes of confidence a month and laws that, in his opinion, were partly declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court and then reintroduced by the government. By citing the security decrees, the presence of the military in the streets, and attempts to amend the Constitution by majority vote, he spoke of a plan financed by a black international. He concluded that what the bombs had failed to achieve was being accomplished by a screen. #Democrazia #Libertà #Politica (translated)

Prof. Matthias Moosdorf stated that peace in Ukraine, in his view, would only be possible without Volodymyr Zelensky. He claimed that Zelensky does not want to end the war and referenced Donald Trump. Zelensky's legitimacy in his own country has been lost: he is governing without a vote on an extended term, has suspended parties, exerted pressure on critical media, and closed spaces for dissenting opinions. Many Ukrainians no longer see him as their representative, Moosdorf wrote, citing remarks from Vitali Klitschko. Moscow is very skeptical about making agreements with Zelensky, and Washington has understood this, Moosdorf noted. This is also increasingly being discussed in Europe. As long as Zelensky remains in power, he believes the war will continue. Moosdorf accused the EU of deriving further aid and sanction packages from Zelensky's demands and escalations. He described a mutual dependency in which Zelensky receives money to maintain power, while EU bureaucrats gain political significance. At the same time, he pointed to high electricity bills, closed factories, increasing migration, and a growing restriction of freedom of speech in Europe. According to Moosdorf, the government in Kyiv lives off corruption and war and will not end the conflict. He also claimed that Ukrainian men are being sent to war through forced conscriptions or driven out of the country. He believes that invoking European values serves the power retention of political decision-makers. In conclusion, he called for support for peace and Trump. #Frieden #Ukraine #Zelensky (translated)

Charlotte Matteini wrote that the student demonstration planned for the next day had been banned in Paris. In Italy, she added, the Viminale was identifying truck drivers who, according to authorities, were blocking the highways, with the aim of restoring normalcy. Matteini criticized governments that, according to her, claimed they wanted to listen to peaceful protests and engage in dialogue with the dissatisfied, but repressed dissent when they could no longer use it for propaganda purposes. She warned that the situation would end badly and would trigger a domino effect. #Italia #Manifestazione #Dissenso (translated)

Francesca Turco described as shocking the audio recordings of the statements made by Claudio Lotito to the magistrates last June and published that day on social media by Repubblica. She wrote that, when discussing the dissent and organized fan groups, Lotito had evoked economic interests and alleged illegal activities in the venues frequented by fans to watch the matches, also reiterating accusations of drug dealing and sexual services within the curve that had already been made in the past. According to Turco, Lotito's words revealed a growing resentment toward a segment of the fanbase and a refusal to recognize the legitimacy of a protest that, according to her, involved thousands of people, mostly unrelated to organized fan groups. She added that Lotito seemed to attribute shady motivations to the dissent, rather than considering it a form of authentic and broad-based dissent. Turco recalled that the day before, the sports director Fabiani had tried to ask the fans for a truce in the interest of the team but deemed the attempt futile. She urged Fabiani to stop trying to quell the protest and to speak to his employer, adding with sarcasm that he would know how to advise him on the most effective "hypnotic" to sleep despite the empty stadium. #repubblica #lotito #sslazio #lotito #sslazio #protesta (translated)

Paolo Berizzi argued that the violent individuals in Milan and Paris were functional to a reactionary and authoritarian right, which, according to him, was unable to address the problems and social crisis. He added that this right repressed dissent by fueling conflict and described the violent individuals as the main opponents of those demonstrating for noble causes. #Milano #Parigi #Dissenso (translated)
