Clash a The Air that blows when talking about the recent clashes between policemen and students; host of the show, the teacher and anti-fascist Christian Raimo expressed strong doubts about what happened, leaving those in the studio dismayed. Following the last heavy demonstration that took place in La Sapienza, the police reported the wounding of 27 officers, but according to Raimo the reported toll may not be accurate. Hence the heated debate, which ended with the writer leaving the show.
Shame on the officers
“I know that there are people stopped, arrested, but from those images you can see something completely different, I saw some of those clashes”explains Christian Raimo, taking the floor in the debate. “I was nearby, anyone who has been active on the left in recent years knows that the armed violence it hasn’t existed on the left in Italy for at least 30 years. There is no refreshment and no indulgence. In community centers, anyone who has an indulgence in gun violence has been thrown out. The social centers almost no longer exist, either they have been cleared out or are empty”he adds.
David Parenzo’s attempt to point out that there are reports attesting to the fact that, following the clashes at Sapienza, there were wounded policemen. “They didn’t hurt themselves!“, declares the host of The blowing air. “No, but we need to understand how many there are. We take the showgirls of the police while the images say something different. Is there a conflict? How can this be done? Luckily the Lead Years no longer exist. Is it possible that in a peaceful place forms of dissidence should end in this way here, even when there are tents or traffic is blocked?“retorts Raimo. But what is the scripture’s judgment on the police?”I think the police are an arm of one form of government“, he says, freezing the guests in the studio.
At that point Annalisa Chirico he remembered the Red Brigades and Marco Biagi. “You are a teacher and you say that young people attacking a police station should be considered a peaceful demonstration“, comments the journalist. Raimo, however, continues to want evidence that demonstrates the violence of some boys. “Do you understand that your vision is conspiracy theorist?“, Chirico blurts out. “In Raimo I remember the policeman Emanuele Petri, killed in 2003 by the BR”Luca Capalbo also intervenes.
The clash with Paone
What makes the tension in the studio rise even more is the intervention of Vittorio Feltri, which sends Christian Raimo into a rage. Seeing himself criticized, the writer collects all his belongings and prepares to abandon the show. “Or is there a level of debate…”, protests. At that point he intervenes Alessandro Cecchi Paone: “But she doesn’t decide that! Enough really, but enough! We don’t come here to listen to you, we come here to listen to what David says. Enough, go away!“. “I leave in peace“, replies Raimo, going behind the scenes, from where however he continues to speak.
Parenzo calls for calm, and Paone replies: “We are very calm, he is the one pain in the ass and atmosphere-breakers!”. “Frankly, I’m quite appalled that this type of attitude comes from someone who teaches at school. Let’s not give him too much space.
He’s talking and doesn’t listen to others“, concludes Alessandra Moretti, MEP of the Democratic Party.
