Tremonti didn’t dare to visit La Sapienza

February 15, 2009

Minister Tremonti, the main responsable of destroying the Italian public university, had been invited to La Sapienza by rector Frati. The visit was supposed to take place this Monday, February 16.

Students declared that Tremonti, the “Minister of cuts” is an “unwanted guest” and called for protests. Finally, Tremonti renounced his visit.

“The holy alliance between the Italian government and the government of La Sapienza has been evident for some months: to normalize, to criminalize (…)”.

Students are defending La Sapienza as a free zone:

“No minister will be welcomed to La Sapienza - they will be received only with radical and strong protests, because we are not only unrepresentable, but we are also hostile to any government that destroys the university and creates precarity!”

“A country without research is a country without future”
