That's weird. Sunday, Sunday, and again Sunday. I noticed that the
Mayor of Verona, Flavio Tosi,
leaps to the headlines national always
Sunday. A chance, a media strategy, or a
paw friend?
Let the record (note that the facts which relate
news always happen days or even
months earlier, but the agencies
publicity to the press Sunday afternoon in summer, in time for the
Tigga the evening).
Verona, Sunday, July 29, 2007, the national Tigga
spread the news of the child 4 years
fined because he was eating a sandwich on the steps of City Hall
in Piazza Bra (the fact
happened the day before). Area declarations Tosi.
Verona, Sunday, August 26, 2007 passes
the news that a British tourist was fined because he had put in
bikini sunbathing
Independence Square (the incident happened on Thursday
above). Area declarations Tosi.
Verona, Sunday, June 22, 2008, is the time
all know that Italy is a young cyclist
is fined for driving while using the phone
(unknown
the day of the event). Area declarations Tosi.
Verona, Sunday, June 29, 2008, news of the evening
gives space to the news (fake) that the Court of Cassation
Tosi was acquitted of the charge of racism
(the ruling had been filed before March 28, and
The Mayor referred to a new appeal process
set for October 2008). Area statements
Tosi.
Verona, Sunday, July 13, 2008, the public service
Rai takes care of the fine given to a Romanian
smoking in a communal garden frequented by children
(the fine was imposed on June 26, seventeen days before
) . Area declarations Tosi.
Of all the possible hypotheses, that of randomness
seems the most unlikely ; easier to think of a journalist friend of
Tosi, with
professional but lack of awareness in some well-placed agency
Press national and disseminates news items and tasty
the pleasant statements Mayor
their Sunday afternoon in summer when there are no other news
and it is hard to fill the spaces of news:
the visibility is ensured, even in its services
"customs and society "much appreciated by viewers.
The gain is twofold: money coming into the coffers of the City with
fines, reputation and national policy
free. Hurrah Sunday.

Rash On Muscle Of Arm
Verona July 9, 2008
Now we call the army and the soldiers, you know, intervene when there is war.
But what is the open warfare in our cities?
formal and to lawlessness, but then on closer inspection to be borne not only the unfortunate and those who are forced to live on the margins of society.
's just that this was illegal?
No! There are very many people who engage in tax evasion and steal (steal) wealth of resources for the common good, but they have become untouchable, even models to imitate.
also here we die on construction sites, the workplace.
E 'of this war Tosi?
No! Those are issues beyond our possibilities for action that you can not do much.
You want to fight in that city is from the herd and killed for trivial reasons?
No! Facts like that happen once in a million and it is not necessary to shout a lot.
So what are the soldiers?
serve against the misfits, the homeless.
memo against the poor fellows who are a threat just because they exist.
have social problems? No! They are problems of public order and must be resolved even with the army.
does not matter if in this way there she attacked the effects and you do not remove the causes that cause them, if you continue to move the problem without solving it.
This is the orientation of the administration and she behaves accordingly.
E 'for a year now that has shown its true face.
Strong with the weak and weak with the strong!
The lesson is clear and this is just another confirmation.
On other occasions, a part of Verona has tried to react to this situation.
mobilizations in defense of territory or to sustainable mobility have had excellent results.
The demonstration on 17 May was a success.
But before facts like these are not enough individual actions.
that citizens must return to be leaders in person.
And against the wrong choices is possible, indeed necessary to oppose.
's why we believe that situations of this nature against the need for a strong position, as large as possible and decided to resort to civil disobedience. Dear Mayor
keep us informed of when it intends to start with the new experience.
time for him to say so because we need to equip ourselves. She will play
its horns (of war), we our bells (of peace). And from September
moments organize information and training for civil disobedience.
It seems the most appropriate response.
