What is seen in pro-Palestinian demonstration in Bologna to the dispute the match between Virtus and Maccabi Tel Aviv could represent a turning point between before and after. Different demonstrations were seen where the protesters did not clash directly with the police. All night there was only one charge made by officers, but there was one 14 injured. There is, on the part of the antagonists, a desire to create an urban guerrilla war, as has happened in Bologna and Rome at the beginning of this month, but with a substantial difference: on Friday the demonstrators were already organized and had studied the plan of action. This can be understood from one of the press releases released a few hours before the action: “We circled PalaDozza“. But who among the ranks of protesters held the city center of Bologna hostage for two hours?
There is a whole galaxy of social centers in Bologna but there are also satellite realities that represent the core of the antagonistic action of the radical left bound up in hatred of the West and of Israel. Among Bolog residents, the National Police Headquarters determined several participating entities, among others Power for the People, USB Unity, Turnaround, Osa, Luna, Palestinian Youth, Cua, Plat, Labas and Tpo. Several exponents of this group also came from outside Bologna to join the demonstrations and join the ranks of the perpetrators of violence. Many of these companies’ flags are captured in images during the most exciting discount times. Although Lepore claimed that 80% of the participants were from outside the city, in reality only 100 non-Bolognese took part in the violence. Additionally, Labas and Top were at a location given for use by the Municipality of Bologna, which was apparently embarrassed by what happened yesterday.
Among those who came from outside the city, attendance AskatasunaTurin’s social center where the City of Turin works to enforce legality after 29 years of illegal occupation.
We tried to give political legitimacy to one of the cruelest realities in the galaxy of social centers and, as can be seen from what happened in Bologna, the result was the same. So far, 15 protesters have been identified and their whereabouts are being investigated by authorities. It is possible that the number will increase in the next few hours.
