La piazza delle donne.
Il loro silenzio, i loro cori, le loro urla di affermazione.
Anche degli uomini, certo.
Ma soprattutto delle donne.
Partendo dai numeri, numeri che zittiscono ogni affermazione mistificante e intellettualmente disonesta. Fa sorridere aprire il giornale e apprendere che qualcuno ci ha definito “poche radical chic”. Non mi ero mai pensata così: non ho un solo capo delle signatures that count, do not smoke cigarettes, long white and thin, and sip cocktails with names in the finest bars in the center making the case for workers in Nicaragua. I live in a country that calls itself democratic, and I'm always in love, as all of us for this very reason we get angry so much. We believe that women always and still in the "People Have the Power", and throughout Italy and abroad yesterday we show them in more than one million.
There were all women of this country, young, old, middle-aged, makeup, make-up, heels or sneakers, right or left, whether married or single, of all sexual orientations and affective of all backgrounds and professions.
And finally, and finally I say, not a flag or party or association or group to claim motherhood is flown for this mobilization related to the patient so far and silent dignity of an entire country. Dignity that is passed to the thrill of seeing and being in city squares, even a small crowded, active and involved as in larger ones.
I went home happy to have been there, happy that I was also part of this force composed of human and civil so busy squares and streets of our cities. Not marches as troublemakers and extremists like to say to some, but the synergy of people who have had enough of being teased, who are tired of misinformation, which have always been this thing is a civilized country, and no longer tolerate to be insulted so brash and unseemly.
None of us expected such a participation, it was an invigorating surprise, and we started to think about and treat the trust never really abandoned in a change also imminent and possible. We thought that the country was now addicted, which would not have reacted that way. We happily wrong. And it seemed to me that we have found an enthusiastic speech dear to us, but which at one point we had collectively lost the thread. And we did without noise, without sensational ads, by word of mouth, by force of our ideas and disdain for those who have no respect for the country we live in everybody.
Some say "they are not going to help, so nothing will change." We are safe? I do not think maybe some of us galvanized by day and energy that he heard, today was the office manager to ask for the increase are the months that he wants to ask, or someone else may have said to her husband or partner to start take over half of household management, someone else will have kept his partner by the hand through the streets of his city as he would never have dared first, someone else will have found the desire to have his say in front of rubbish that normally would have felt hopeless of having to also respond in a kind of silent resignation. That 's what makes the energy, this is his task is to act. Each for their part, each in his daily life. Thoughts, words, actions,
Lella Costa said in his speech quick and precise on time: anywhere in the world, the real issue is women's issues.
not lose the desire and taste for dialogue and confrontation, in discussing the most important issues of our private and public life.
Let that be the occasion for further reflection what passes under the eyes, anyway. And appaghiamoci of yesterday, but re-start from there.
