Thousands of people in the square in Florence (10,000 according to the Police Headquarters, 40,000 according to the organizers) for the anti-fascist demonstration in defense of the school and the Constitution, after the beating that took place in front of a Florentine institute .

There are also the new secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein, the president of the M5s Giuseppe Conte and the secretary of the CGIL Maurizio Landini.

Do not miss the principal of the Leonardo Da Vinci high school Annalisa Savino , author of the controversial letter "against indifference" on the events in Florence contested by the Minister of Education Giuseppe Valditara . The principal marched behind the banner of her high school, like other colleagues, with the sign "I am not indifferent".

«This demonstration is a strong and significant signal - said Patrizia Bonanni, teacher of the da Vinci high school -. We shared our principal's document and we didn't believe this would happen, it wasn't our purpose . As educators we wanted to send a message to our students to be involved, not to be passive in front of these facts. And even coming here today is done to give a message to our students because not only do you have to solicit them, but you also have to show them things".

« We are very happy to be here and we will continue to be as a Democratic Party in all places where it is necessary to defend our Constitution as well as we will defend it in spite of this dangerous design of differentiated autonomy that Calderoli, forcing, is carrying out by bypassing the Regions, bypassing Parliament – said Schlein -. We will be in all the places where social, territorial, gender and generational inequalities need to be tackled, and it is a great pleasure to be in such a full square, it means that there is still life and that those squadrist methods will not pass ».

"I am very happy - he added - that there is a large delegation from the Democratic Party here, that the Five Star Movement is here, that there are other civic forces and the ecological left here , I think it is a good sign that on some battles fundamentals, as we have always said, we must work together both in Parliament and in the country , to organize an opposition. We'll be there". The themes are "the defense of public schools, the defense of public health, the defense of work, the minimum wage, the defense of the Constitution, the battle against differentiated autonomy".
