The incident are under investigation to identify any of Digos officers of the blitz in the Senate and the clashes in central Rome.
Fini: "unacceptable violence". The attack in the Senate was a gesture "unacceptable violence". So the president of the Chamber, Gianfranco Fini, said in a note sent Renato Schifani, the student protest in the Senate. Mr. President''- Fini writes - I read with concern the news about riots and the incidents occurred during a student demonstration held today before the Senate and also causing the death of Dr. Francesco Capelli, security staff of the Palace.'' In''firmly condemn this unacceptable act of violence and intolerance, which took aim at a parliamentary seat, the heart of the democratic life of the country, and men who work in it, I would like - said the chairman of the House - the intense solidarity 'my staff and the Chamber of Deputies, together with best wishes for a speedy recovery to the official involved in the clashes.''
Schifani "intolerable if the protest affects institutions." It was with "great sadness" that the chairman of the Senate Renato Schifani took the floor to report on "major incident" occurred this morning in front of the main entrance of the building. The protest is legitimate, he said, in essence, Schifani provided that is not violent. Becomes "intolerable" if it hits the institutions that are the heritage of all.
Clashes in the center. Students who have moved to the House, tried to force a cordon of police and were rejected by their clubs. The protesters also threw a firecracker. The clashes occurred while in the Hall of the House was being examined at the University of reform, that tomorrow should be clear. The leader of the Democratic Party, Pier Luigi Bersani spoke with researchers and students who are from yesterday on the roof of the Faculty of Architecture in Piazza Borghese in Rome:''The bill is a disaster homeopathic Gelmini, dismantled piece by piece the university ,''he said, after rising to the roof.

A protest that goes with that these days in many cities of Italy with students and researchers who have climbed on the roofs and occupied schools and faculties. All this explains the network of students,''shouted our dissent against a bill that destroys the universities and research, who does not think the future of our students and the country.'' ''From Turin to Palermo via Milan, Florence, Rome, Naples and Catania - says the network of students - the students involved and self-managed schools and faculties. The bill is a tombstone on the university Gelmini Italian that fits in an overall reform of school and university-based cuts and privatization. We students can not allow it to play on our future. "

. This evening gathering of students, researchers and all those who live every day the university to decide the next steps of mobilization. "
Gelmini:" Students manipulated by the left. "Students contestano le riforme del governo rischiano di difendere i baroni, i privilegi e lo status quo. Alcuni studenti vengono strumentalizzati da esponenti politici della sinistra che oggi hanno deciso di inscenare una sceneggiata sui tetti delle università". Così in una nota il ministro dell'istruzione, Maria Stella Gelmini, commentando le mobilitazioni e l'intervento di alcuni politici dell'opposizione: "Bersani - prosegue la Gelmini - in questo modo dimostra poco rispetto nei confronti dell'Aula che in queste ore sta discutendo una riforma che rivoluziona l'università italiana. Ai leader della sinistra dico che non basta salire un'ora sul tetto per far dimenticare come la sinistra ha ridotto l'università pubblica in italia. Per anni la sinistra ha prevented, for cultural reasons, that universities were awarded the credit. Have been humiliated to promote the best family and friends. It is to be rejected - he concludes - the misguided attempt to charge the government or some cuts to the inefficiency of the university system. The money however, there have always been, but were used to multiply jobs, graduate courses useless and unnecessary branches.
Complain indefinitely. Mobilizations will continue in the coming days and Saturday, November 27, at the national event CGIL, the students get back on the streets.
