" We count too ." This is one of the slogans used by the hundreds of students who took part in the demonstration in the streets of the city today in Cagliari, to demand compliant schools and efficient transport . Gathering in Piazza Giovanni XXIII, then the procession - with banners and protest chants - took the slope of Via dei Giudicati towards Via Cadello for a sit-in in front of the headquarters of the metropolitan city of Cagliari .
For Sara Naciri, coordinator of the Cagliari Students' Union , «our schools are tired of the institutions' negligence. In recent months the strong need to be listened to by the competent bodies has pushed numerous young people from the various institutes of the metropolitan city to meet in an assembly to seek a solution to the common problem".
«The voice of the students – continues Naciri – does not receive the political weight it rightfully deserves. During the assemblies we collected the opinions of the students of Cagliari. The data shows that there are clear common problems, on topics such as construction, transport, hygiene and psychological well-being." Among the discomforts that emerged during the morning was also the feeling of being " cookie-cutter ", they shouted. Nobody cares more about the self-determination of the individual. Schools are now factories that have forgotten that we are not products to be displayed on shelves."
