Genoa: Daneo school parents mobilizing after the removal of the anti-racist banner

The parents' association of the Daneo school, in the historic center of Genoa, launches the mobilization after the controversy over the anti-racist banner removed by the police yesterday.

The appeal launched online asks you to participate in a protest on Monday morning in Piazza della Meridiana, not far from the primary school, "to give an initial response to what happened and to organize future mobilizations". Additionally, you are asked to hang banners in all windows. The parents cite article 34 of the Constitution according to which "the school is open to all".

Yesterday two plainclothes officers had torn the tarpaulin with the words "No one is a foreigner here", written in several languages. A work done by children and teachers. According to the Police Headquarters, which initiated internal investigations, it would have been an autonomous initiative following the report from the local police operations centre.

The lawyer and president of the association Francesca Pastore wrote to the Police Headquarters to ask for "an immediate report regarding the implementation" of the agents' intervention and a "copy of the authorization provision and related report of the operations carried out".
