“On this side and on the other side of the salon gates we are a large network of people who work at the salon and who couldn’t ignore this protest that was happening outside.” Talk like this Zero limestoneone of the most famous Italian cartoonists, released from Turin Book Fair (where he was busy presenting his book) to join the pro-Palestine demonstration organized in front of the entrance gates of the Lingotto Fair. “People who care about the Palestinian issue cannot fail to be here – he continues Michele Rech – A space that talks about culture and current affairs cannot close his eyes to History with a capital H, because we will have to respond to it for a long time massacre which is underway in Palestine. It is the most normal thing in the world for these issues to be discussed in a space like the Salone.”
The cartoonist spoke after calm had returned between protesters and police: about ten activists of the over two hundred in the garrison had tried to enter, rejected by the police with truncheons And shields. And Zerocalcare dedicated a passage to this too: “What happened it has happened many times these days, that is, people trying to bring attention to the massacre that is taking place in Palestine are rejected with i truncheonsso I think that all the people who care about this issue in there cannot help but be here.”
