“The courage of the boys sweeps away the rhetoric” – Corriere.it

I appreciate your protest, peaceful and democratic but at the same time deeply meaningful and highly symbolic. We listen to your voice, we are ready to do everything possible and I can assure you that the M5S is on your side: said the M5S leader, Giuseppe Conte, who visited the students protesting the high rents in front of the Sapienza University of Rome .

The starred president then commented on Facebook: Politics must stop talking about young slackers, who don’t want to assume their responsibilities. Today at the University “La Sapienza” I met girls and boys who are asking for immediate action against high rents, students who are asking for a solid future made up of rights and welfare, not hunger wages and new precariousness and cuts promoted by the Meloni government . And so, while the country discusses falling birth rates and demographic winter, the courageous protest of these kids sweeps away the empty rhetoric and places the right to housing as the first step towards full autonomy. We have listened to them and will continue to do so. In the meantime, we have shared some useful proposals to give strength to their future.

Carlo Calenda critical of Conte’s visit I will never go and I will never ask anyone from my party to go and do a show in front of the boys, said the leader of Action.
