Acts of vandalism
The demonstration resulted in acts of vandalism.
For example, a petrol station was daubed with red paint Eni. The company is considered by protesters to be “complicit in the genocide in Palestine” because it “expropriates and devastates the Palestinian territories of gas in the waters of Gaza”.
Furthermore, the facade of the bank was defaced Intesa Sanpaolo in via San Francesco d’Assisi. After smoke bombs and torches were lit, one of the speakers of the procession chanted: “The problem of the agreements with the university depends on this bank. The university is public and we fight for this every day.”
It should be noted that writings were also made on the facade of the credit institution where the bank itself was accused of complicity with Israel.
Students: “The links between Zionist academic research and innovation in the war field are explicit”
The procession started from New Palace. “For four weeks university students have been occupying Palazzo Nuovo to call for an academic boycott against Israeli universities and companies that produce weapons,” declared the pro-Palestine university students.
“The links between Zionist academic research and the innovation in the war field that allows the practices of colonization and apartheid in Palestine are explicit – they added; as university students we feel the responsibility not to be complicit in the genocide and therefore not to allow our knowledge to be put at the service of the paradigm of war that is prevailing throughout the world”.
“In the absence of a surrender on the part of the student intifada, the university management found itself forced to grant a public and in-person moment to allow us to present the motion on the termination of the agreements and the setting up of an extraordinary Senate to vote on the proposal” , the students always underlined.
“On 11 and 13 June there will be these two first moments which will certainly mark an important step in the direction of weakening the Zionist entity in all its manifestations even here at home, we will have to be prepared and numerous”, they concluded from the student intifada.
