On 8 April 2008, Berlusconi came to Savona to make a campaign rally for the PDL. Some guys went to the event to challenge the candidate, putting dei nasi di Pinocchio per accusarlo di dire soltanto bugie. Durante la giornata si è verificato uno scontro, tra questi manifestanti e la polizia: alcuni di loro e un paio di poliziotti sono ricorsi al pronto soccorso per i danni subiti e tutti i giovani, successivamente, hanno appreso sui giornali di essere stati denunciati, senza sapere di cosa sono stati accusati. Alcuni esponenti locali e nazionali della Sinistra L’Arcobaleno hanno paragonato questa faccenda al G8 di Genova, dicendo che il comportamento delle forze dell’ordine risulta inaccettabile. Tuttavia, i mass media non se ne sono occupati molto, tant’è che le poche cose che sappiamo su questi fatti le abbiamo apprese leggendo un articolo de “Il nineteenth century. " This episode brought us to a general reflection on the conduct of the police and the relationship that exists between the weapon and the media. Since we have two opposing views on this issue, we decided to do a little debate on this issue, addressing two questions apiece.
Interview with Yuri Saito Sonia Bosio
you think there are some similarities between what happened in Savona and what happened to the G8 summit in Genoa? What do you think the conduct of police in these two episodes and, in general, the demonstrations?
No, I do not think there is no analogy: in the case of Genoa, I think the cops are wrong, both in the organization of security, both in the way they are made without leave via free for those protesters who are found in the middle of the fight without realizing it. A Savona instead was only an intervention to restore order: I do not think that occur only because the boys had their noses to mock Pinocchio Berlusconi, but because they had a good reason ... and this view may be supported by the complaint made by the police against the Protestants (che non sanno neanche perchè sono stati denunciati...). In generale penso che il lavoro che fa la polizia è giusto, ma come sempre, ci possono essere delle eccezioni
I mass media, a parte “Il secolo XIX”, non hanno parlato molto dei fatti di Savona. Secondo te i giornali e le televisioni hanno voluto nascondere i fatti?
I fatti non sono stati strumentalizzati nè nascosti, non ci possiamo stupire se il comportamento dei media non è stato così puntuale... Tanti casi non vengono riportati da fonti diffuse, come il telegiornale, e rimangono notizie solo a livello locale. L'episodio di Savona è uno di questi casi: non has been done, in my opinion, to hide what police have done, also because they have only done their job. Perhaps a group of boys who were arrested for a valid reason is no longer news ...
Interview by Sonia Bosio Yuri Saito
Cause every time it's happened a few episodes Similarly, we never hear, or at least as it should, the behavior of the demonstrators? Why in the case of some clash between demonstrators and police, attention is always on the behavior of the latter?
In my opinion this is not true. I think, however, that as soon as there is some error or exaggeration on the part of protesters tend to enhance it, perhaps with the intent at least in part to justify the conduct of law enforcement. In addition, for the same conduct, the courts always condemn the protesters, while the police often receive promotions. Even if your argument were true, it would not be wrong, because the weapon has a greater responsibility than the protesters. In fact, while among them there may be the stupid looking clash between the police these people there absolutely must be, because the training for police officers should aim to keep him calm and extremely well organized, especially in difficult situations. Given the progress that is not the case, then it is right that attention is more focused on the police. Unfortunately, this is hardly ever done.
regard to the conduct of the media around this matter, you think this was done on purpose, just to silence all? Do you think that in a sense the media are trying to hide the negative reaction of the police?
This seems obvious to me, and I'm not just referring to the case of Savona, but also to other cases. The media, especially television, not just try to hide the negative reaction of the police, but exalt the figure of the policeman. This not only happens on the news or in the service of deepening, but also in entertainment programs, just think of the television drama, which almost always have characters like saints, priests and policemen. I think instead that it would be much better if the media will reflect on the behavior of the weapon, but I know that, unfortunately, will never happen.
