Then closing the question with a joke: “I count that the occupants invite me as a former Manzoni to talk about school and the future and about young people. If the center-right has won it over, it is because millions of young people voted for the center-right. I understand who is looking for the 26th of September. a good reason to occupy and skip school for two days “.

The protest initiative was also born to bring attention to the theme of school-work alternation, after the death of Giuliano De Seta who had already led them to organize an internal march ten days ago.
