Per la presidente di Emergency il 7 ottobre è l'occasione per riaffermare e difendere i valori e i principi della Costituzione
Articolo 11: "L'Italia ripudia la guerra come strumento di offesa alla libertà degli altri popoli e come mezzo di risoluzione delle controversie internazionali".
Emergency aderisce alla manifestazione del 7 ottobre perché il nostro vocabolario identitario continua a includere parole di guerra, che continua a essere l’approccio, il messaggio, la soluzione a cui pensiamo come Paese omettendo volutamente alternative di dialogo e diplomazia.
Watch Out: Populists in the Piazza. A referendum unleashes forces that could change Europe. Again. By John Follain, Chiara Vasarri and Alessia Pierdomenico
October 24, 2016; "She doesn’t yet know how she will vote. “What I will say is that we haven’t allowed people to vote freely with comments like Renzi saying he would quit if the referendum goes badly,” Pampalone says. “When you go and vote on a constitution, you should leave everything else behind at home.” "
The Guardian 6 Aug: In a few months, probably in November, Italians will head to the polls to vote in a referendum on a constitutional reform that Renzi says will make it easier to pass legislation by dramatically restricting the powers of the senate, a major source of political gridlock [...] Much like Brexit in the UK, the referendum is increasingly being seen as a way for Italians to air their general discontent with the establishment, in large part because Renzi swore that he would leave politics if the referendum did not go his way. If he loses his gamble, the results of the referendum could have vast consequences for Italy and the whole of Europe.
There is a strong demand to regain national and monetary sovereignty (opposition the EU is the common trait of all mobilizations) as well as an affirmative reference to the constitution. People reproach to the government and the presidency to betray the constitution. The government – which in difference to the Left – understood that the revolt of December 9 is to become a serious challenge. By means of the servile media they preventively have been slandering the movement as being controlled by the extreme Right.
