The national demonstration of Italian faculties and universities in mobilization filled the streets today in Rome. The size of the demonstration was impressive. It’s impossible to say how many people there were. The newspapers quote some organizers saying “more than 200.000″ which might be true.

The special trains from other cities reached Rome, people came from the north and south, even people from quite small universities, all over Italy. The demonstration ended up at Montecitorio in front of the Parliament. This was exceptional. In Italy, movements haven’t been allowed to protest anywhere near the Parliament for a long time. There were no clashes. Next in program is the national assembly of the faculties and universities in mobilization which takes place at the occupied Sapienza this weekend.
