general strike and widespread. In the processions of young and insecure, schools and faculties employed, rooftop, this is the slogan that echoes from Rome to Turin to Palermo. It is not improper interference in the internal affairs of trade unions - CGIL - but the demand for continue working together with a path set Oct. 16 in the national Fiom. It is with the metalworkers that students are more familiar, after the raids of young people at the gates of the factories and by the presence of executives and managers Fiom in debates in universities and protests against the Gelmini throughout Italy, the last on December 14 in Rome. "United against the crisis" there, there is also a minority of union led by Susanna Camusso, "The CGIL we want ', with the urgent request but so far not heeded the federation to promote the general strike. But students also arrived in the national CGIL 27 November, and in many categories, the comparison is open. Nell'Flc Of course, the union of knowledge whose secretary general, Mimmo Pantaleo, yesterday reiterated its participation in the event of today: "The FLC is once again alongside other university students to demand and stop the bill Gelmini. We ask all those who will be in the streets to demonstrate peacefully, rejecting all forms of violence. "
The attempt to counter the younger generations by putting precarious against the guaranteed pension that you eat with the children and grandchildren's future, does not go down with Carla Cantone, secretary general of the SPI-CGIL, the powerful union retirees. He gets angry even now if you think the last episode of "Year Zero", with La Russa's insults and insinuations of a journalist Berlusconi: "Older people today - says County - are the people who have fought in the second half of the twentieth century to rip those achievements that are now denied to the children and grandchildren. The generation to which is subtracted from the future that goes down in the streets is most unfortunate and therefore more angry the previous ones, but he knows that the elderly have become the ultimate social safety net available. He knows that the enemy must be sought elsewhere. We must hold together the generations because the future has no age: the CGIL is fighting to change the country and that is why we meet with young people. " On general strike, however, State has a different idea from Fiom and the minority of the CGIL. "It is not a panacea, the general strike does not solve all problems. You can also do, but what matters is to give continuity to the unit and the battles of the students because the fight is not only against the university reform, young people want a different future, a future uncertain. " Going beyond generic
solidarity to the conference area, "The CGIL we want" as the Fiom, requires tough choices and courageous. The application of the general strike does not arise from a tired ritual, but by the conviction that the CGIL has to bear to indicate a way out of the crisis, an alternative to the government and Confindustria recipes, recipes that exacerbate inequalities affecting the most vulnerable, young and old, students and workers, migrants. The CGIL may be a reference point against a social model based on the squandering of resources and also intellectual property and the precariousness of common ground. In this context, the unit comes with struggling students. Yesterday the Board of the CGIL is Gianni Rinaldini Carlo Podda minority denounced the statements "-style authoritarian and fascist government against members of the student demonstrations, to envisage a" climate of tension strategy. " "The CGIL - says Podd - defends the right to demonstrate to young people and students. " In
Cgil discussion is on, and this is a sign of health. Giorgio Cremaschi, historic leader of the Fiom, the promoters of the "United against the crisis," does not spare criticism of the secretary general Camusso Susanna, in his opinion guilty of underestimating "the extent and value of the struggle of students." Is guilty, he adds Cremaschi, he had "erased" in the introductory report to the Executive confederal 'general strike'. But perhaps more than at internal positions within the management teams should look at initiatives from below that grow in the territories and see more and more mixed workers, students, activists movements for the common good and environmentalists from the port of Ancona to Palermo, from universities in Turin Mirafiori, Calabria Emilia. Generally to promote this unprecedented social and generational promiscuity is just "United against the crisis," a password before they shared an acronym.
