Student dead in Udine, demonstrators in Rome try to march: police charge

About two hundred people including students, anarchists and members of social centers participated in the afternoon at the Pantheon in Rome in the demonstration of solidarity for Lorenzo Parelli, the Friulian student who died on his last day of school-work alternation. During the unauthorized protest a group of students with lit smoke bombs tried to break through the cordon of the mobile department in Piazza della Rotonda to carry out a procession but was rejected by the police with a small charge. The procession was subsequently authorized to the demonstrators who marched to the headquarters of the Miur in Viale Trastevere. Digos investigations are underway and are examining the images taken by the scientific police for possible measures. “The garrison in front of the Pantheon of hundreds of students to protest after the death of 18-year-old Lorenzo Parelli has been heavily loaded by the police”. Thus Maurizio Acerbo, national secretary of the Communist Refoundation Party – European Left. “Two students severely wounded in the head hit by batons. This is the response of the Draghi government to girls and boys outraged by the death of a peer. Our militants are in the square with the students and have told us what is happening. We hope that the protest expand because you cannot die from school and work. The law that instituted school-work alternation must be abolished – says Acerbo – and it is envisaged that professional training can be done by working for free in companies. We condemn unjustified offices and ask that guaranteed the constitutional right to demonstrate “.
