[fse-esf] Repression in Rostock and the responsabilities of the Prodi Government

*Repression in Rostock and the responsabilities of the Prodi Government*







The responsabilities of German police and of the Merkel Government for 
the brutal repression at the big demonstration in Rostock are very 
heavy. 15000 policeman in fighting trim, transformed limited clashes* 
*with small groups of protesters into an assault on the enormous, 
passionate and colorful demonstration of over 100.000 people that was 
about to conclude with the final rally.



The numbers of injured policeman given from the government are 
ridiculous, if we consider the considerable quantity of policeman that 
assaulted the final rally , their military organization , and their 
"Robocop" uniforms.



We fear that these lies are going to prepare a yet more dramatic 
repression against anti G8 protests in next few days. There is the awful 
risk that the tragic developments against G8 in Genova will reoccur;* 
*that's why the G8, that has almost failed in its internal and external 
objectives and appears to be hated at a popular level like in Genova and 
everywhere, is to be cancelled.



In my speech from the podium, as Cobas and as representative of Italian 
antiwar movement, I recalled the serious responsabilities of the Prodi 
Government, which is * *a protagonist of the G8 that manages: war; 
environmental devastation; dismanteling of public structures; precarity; 
and social injustice.


*Now, with his participation in G8, Prodi will become responsible for 
the present and future repression of the dissent against G8.*

*If the center-left government were even somewhat left-wing it would ask 
for the cancellation of the G8.*

*IMMEDIATE FREEDOM FOR THE ARRESTED PEOPLE, STOP G8, PRODI REMAINS AT HOME.*
