Bernini after the fall of the writers at Palazzo Nuovo: "Reopen the university"

«Occupying means transforming a safe space into a dangerous place. Climbing the walls of the university to create graffiti does not only mean damaging the building, but putting your life and health at risk. When an occupation replaces the rules of the academic community, safety becomes an issue for everyone. Reopen Palazzo Nuovo." This is how University Minister Anna Maria Bernini intervened a few minutes ago, with a post on Instagram in which she comments on the news of the writers who fell from Palazzo Nuovo during the night, during the occupation of the humanities center of Turin.

«Occupying a university - he continues - means taking away from others what they say they want to defend. It means taking spaces that belong to the entire student community, distorting calendars, limiting the holding of exams. It means denying the right to study, which belongs to everyone. All this is happening at Palazzo Nuovo in Turin."

The occupation began on Monday evening and, from Tuesday, lessons are held online.

«Here, between lessons that are skipped, graduation sessions that are postponed and exams that are postponed, a real short circuit is created: the occupiers, after having closed the doors of the University, invite the other students to go to the university to follow the lessons in dad. The classrooms are blocked and then what has been taken away and which belongs to everyone is offered as a favor, as an opportunity."
