Now co-planning technical table
The property of Corso Regina Margherita, intended for activities for the community
Changed locks, empty clubs, padlocks
at the gates. Yesterday was not a morning like the others.
At least not for the neighborhood of
Vanchiglia
which, after 27 years, saw ending
The occupation of the former asylum Opera Pia Reynero
, then became the headquarters of the
Centro Sociale Freedom
. As the psychiatrist had guaranteed

LUPANO ROSA
e
LORedana Cancon
, the five citizens who proposed to the Municipality to transform askatasuna into a
"Common good"
, the property of Corso Regina Margherita
was freed from the occupants
.
The city council, however, is willing to move forward and,
After the delivery report
, the first
passage of today, Friday 26 February, it will be the
settlement of the technical table at the headquarters of the Department of Municipalities
.
In addition to the spontaneous committee of citizens (all close to askatasuna)
The officials of the Municipality competent by sector will participate.
Parallel will have to start the
investigations of engineers and technicians in charge of carrying out a
appraisal on the conditions of the property and the timing of the
safety interventions to be performed.
The reports of the firefighters and the ASL speak clearly.
After the Digos blitz carried out last December
,
The Department of Prevention of the Healthcare Company had ascertained
the presence of "a central heating system does not
functioning, stoves not watertight and environments heated in a manner
empirical ", in addition to" electrical systems built and maintained in
unsuitable safety conditions ".
The greatest critical issues concern the plans
superiors (who are not the subject, at least for the moment of the project of
Co-management), but also on the ground floor there is no lack of problems. Brigade
of the fire and ASL have found the demolition of a load -bearing wall that
«It could lead to the compromise of static security
of the building "
. A building built in 1892
, probably
not with a concrete supporting structure, whose spaces, second
the ASL "for how they have been made, maintain and conducted not
can be traced back to any activities regulated by
current legislation ". An inhabitability also certified by the brigade of
fire they had found "a high risk for the occupants in
case of fire ». The timing to transform the former kindergarten into a
aggregation center, home of cultural events, popular gym and
Recording studio do not announce short.

Turin, Askatasuna delivers the employed property to the Municipality
Tomorrow the co-planning technical table will take place at the headquarters of the Department of Municipalities
TORINO –
The Social Center

He handed over to the Municipality the property he occupied. Tomorrow will take place
Tomorrow at the headquarters of the Department of Municipalities the technical table of
co-design for the property of Corso Regina Margherita 47, of
ownership of the city of Turin and intended for activities for the
community.
The spontaneous group of citizens and towns will participate in the table
Proponents of the project, approved by the city council with resolution
of 30 January last, and the officials of the municipal administration
competent of the peripheral transformations sectors, common goods,
Urban regeneration, heritage, culture and youth policies.
The table starts after the report of
Delivery of the property this morning. They will start in parallel
also the necessary investigations of the structural technicians in charge of
an expert report on the conditions of the property.
We have
Wait a few days before taking a floor in front of the resolution
on the Askatasuna issued by the Municipality of Turin. Let me say, the reactions
broken down to which we attended made us laugh under and above the
moustache.
We seem to have understood that to collect signatures against askatasuna e
For legality, Augusta Montaruli will go, the one sentenced for

money from the region. Congratulations! Someone a little more awake than her in

Askatasuna, the town's right could end up in the air. But
We understand that for those who live in politics since he was 16, reality
Outside the buildings it may appear a little faded. It seems to us to have
understood that there are those who dream of a police station inside the social center.
See the level of rovate of the liver reached due to us from
those same police unions applauding the killers of
Federico Aldrovandi is yet another medal. We then saw four
pilgrims with banners against Aska in front of Palazzo di Città in
an oceanic manifestation that would not have blocked a not
scooter. Finally, we saw a prosecutor in the ball try to
intervene in extremis with yet another synchronized precautionary measures
with the wishes of the city right. Fleas on the back of one
reality that animates their nightmares for almost 40 years. Since the meaning of
ridiculous missing these court jesters, it's up to us to be serious and
Try to explain what we are and what this “exit represents for us
from above".
We do not demand that it makes consent, we understand that many do not go
down, we understand that this is incomprehensible to the prosecutor but we start
From a fact: many young people have approached and continue
to approach the reality of the Askatasuna Social Center. Not for
obscure manipulations of a group of violent vicious, as they would like
Make the Quaesturini delusions believe, but because the askatasuna feels a
respond to a need that goes beyond the property of Corso Regina
47. The need for a common dream, the desire to build a power
collective far from the hypocrisy of institutional policy but capable
to weigh on the city. It is from this need that a reality was born that,
As we have seen in these days, it has grown to become
obsession of the right and bad awareness of a left that too much
he often abdicated the role of representing his part, that of
oppressed. In a world where resignation and individualism reigns we are
people with the ball to do politics. In a world to do politics
It means getting paid we understand that to do politics
you have to pay. Energy, time and also, sometimes, freedom. Why the
History of the peoples who fight gives us back the fact that legality does not
always coincides with social justice and that serves to fight to do
prevailing rights, even the fundamental ones, on the interests of
part.
Since we committed the unforgivable sin of giving legs and
continuity to the protests in Val di Susa, the state has decided to do
pay a very high price to dozens of militants. In about ten years
The suspects were over 200, perhaps the highest number for a
political collective since the 1970s. This against a level of
all in all conflict extremely contained both with respect to history
of our country is compared to what we see elsewhere in Europe. But
On the other hand, there is little to complain: if there is a laughter it is increasingly difficult
swim free. Many, sometimes just teenagers, have served
Prison prison, many long house arrest. The processes yes
they are resolved for the most part in nothing done, convictions
"Bagatellari" or even acquittals. But this cares little, why
The intent has always been only to weaken the old and scare the
young. Many have continued, however, incredibly, to join
to a project that, without many menate, tries to put themselves at the service of the
social conflict. Police Headquarters therefore open a second front,
the one to try to disarticulate the link between askatasuna and the city,
With levels of infamy of primati guinness. If the bad model e

Getting culminating up to the attempted operation "subversive association"
of 2022. The model was to be that of the employed kindergarten of via
Alessandria: associative crime, eviction and demolition of the building.
However, there is a hitch, "the subversive association" is not signed by
Gip and, to save part of the theorem, the Review Court pulls
Outside the hat the crime of "criminal association", the eviction
goes upstream. Therefore the third front opens, that of attrition

Taken a lira for disco. The goal is one, remove the ground
under the feet to a reality that does not bend and does not break, e
The evident sought -after epilogue.
In this context it seemed fundamental to us to resume
The initiative. Politically relaunch to get out of the corner in which i
our opponents would have liked to keep us. We never had
problems with the fact that institutions recognize the value of how much
made from below (the after -school, the children's parties, the music, the
gym, cinema), indeed. CSA Murazzi himself was granted by the Municipality
back in 1989 after a series of occupations, evictions and
mobilizations. And from then on, it seems to us that everything can be attributed,
except that they have been indulgent with the Turin -left center,
from the employment of the DS headquarters to protest against the arrest of
Ocalan back in 1999. Following, the harsh disputes against the
left of war that bombed Belgrade and the raid in the center

Genoa. The story is long ... and it comes until Friday's operation

The important thing for us is how we get to what it can be, a
Second of the contexts, a useful, useless or deleterious passage. The action

From the institutions? Worse, you get recognized to try to get
A place in the sun for some heads or capes? Or it is built
patiently a rooting until a busy space becomes a
Reference point essential for the city? Having said that, for
We the social center has always been a means and not an end. If for
some reason, strictly politicalist, this path in the future
should be raised, the fact that it is already evident for one does not change
Great slice of Turin. From the children of the kindergarten in via Balbo who come to
celebrate the birthday with their friends inside Aska, up to
boys who came from the Turin province to dance on the notes of the
Tecno nobody waited for a piece of paper to find out that askatasuna is
Already a common good of the city.
We specify a couple of points, to dissipate any doubt and remove
A few crickets for the head. We are more than available to invest the
our energies to improve the safety of the building and guarantee a
greater usability and facilitate access. Because we are convinced,
together with many others, that the center has now become a common heritage
that goes beyond the political collective that has taken care of it until today,
ensuring the performance of many activities for the city. Our
commitment in this sense, however, does not mean in any way to abdicate bonds
that we built with the Vanchiglia neighborhood and our commitment

a desert of services. We were there when the administrations have
started a process to transform it into the "table", releasing
licenses to the right and missing. We were there when we wanted

We shaped Vanchiglia's life and were shaped by it,
They are central things. As far as we are concerned, we are at the beginning of a
path, everything can still happen: it is an unexplored ground for us but
We practice it with the same determination and partiality with which from
decades are a living part of the struggles in the area, in the city, in the valley and
Wherever it will be necessary to mobilize.
So it is, it seems to us

Turin repression laboratory is a recurring frame and a reality
that those who protest in the city live on the skin. The choice of askatasuna e
of the Municipality to undertake a path of dialogue and experiment

public order problem, but as an idea of a living territory, where the
conflict is not neutralized and the participation enhanced. A
Another model of democracy. Utopia? The sterilization of a
Radical alternative experience?
Mind you. It won't be a
Easy route, it stands on a thin balance of balance. On the side
of askatasuna, there is the maintenance of a strong radicality in the context
of a frame shared with the Municipality; by the institutions, there is
the comparison with a political project and a protest that hit e
restless. But this is the complexity of a conflicting democracy, it is
the indicator of his good state of health. It is a signal
countercurrent compared to the image of a democracy that does not tolerate
the strikes, which represses eco-activism, which expels thought
divergent, as well as an atrophilic democracy.
It's a
"antagonist" experimentation, to resume provocatively
a label used in a disqualifying and generalizing sense,

magistrates who habitually deals with the crimes inherent in the protest is
colored under the item «terrorism and subversion of the order
democratic". Dissent and protest, far from being ascribable
to terrorism (the attempts in this regard were cassated by the same
judiciary) are not subversive of the democratic order but element
essential of democracy. The concept of a presumed order is

Turin is a laboratory, but the trend is

increasingly violent competitiveness, it is armored.

plural dynamism, vitality, the possibility of transformation, of the
