"A year ago in Sardinia we decided that it was time to abandon fear and darkness, that it was time to offer hope to those who had lost it. Yet the system has activated the antibodies, it has activated them greatly (sic.). But we are here, we are working. We are restoring hope and dignity to a people who had lost it. We are the resistance."
This is how Alessandra Todde began from the stage of the Imperial Forums, during the national demonstration of the M5s against rearmament. The President of the Region took her cue from the situation in Sardinia, where the shadow of the order-injunction of forfeiture dominates due to irregularities in the reporting of electoral expenses detected by the regional electoral guarantee college of the Court of Appeal: a provision that triggered the clash before the ordinary court and the Constitutional Court.
"We will not be intimidated," continued the governor, who arrived in Rome with a Five Star delegation preceded by a banner that read "Hands off Alessandra Todde. We are not afraid, we are not afraid to tell things as they are," she said again, increasingly heated, with the microphone in her hand, " we are not the ones who built dry stone walls. We are the ones who say that things can change."
After closing the parenthesis of references to Sardinia, Todde moved on to the topic that brought the M5S to the square: "We do not let ourselves be intimidated by the logic of those who say that we must fight harder to achieve stability. This comes with dialogue and with the understanding of the people we have on the other side. This square, she said again, "is to say that we are not going to use cohesion funds for weapons. We are not going to use everything we have to give our citizens, like bridges and hospitals, for weapons. We are chasing away the darkness".
