ROME, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Footage of police beating pro-Palestinian students drew broad condemnation in Italy on Friday, with the opposition calling for the interior minister to address parliament over the episode. Student marches were blocked by police in the Tuscan cities of Florence and Pisa, with images of officers vigorously using their truncheons on school-age protesters in Pisa triggering outrage on social media and from politicians.

I am publishing this article because I received a report about a post reporting the same news, but which was deleted because doubts were expressed about the reliability of the site used as a source.

Unfortunately that post, published by one of our users, was totally founded and correct

Well, in Italy police violence against students even forced the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella to issue a statement criticizing the behavior of the police.

It was me... I chose the article which best described those facts, unfortunately there was very little attention given to the event by the international press, so only few sources were available. I preferred to delete my post because the accusation of being "Erdoğan's propaganda" would have led the article to be ignored. I posted a more neutral press agency note in another more "tolerant" community to avoid similar effects again.

Lo so bene, perché come amministratore di feddit.de ho ricevuto una segnalazione riguardante il contenuto da te pubblicato e, trovandomi in Italia e seguendo bene le notizie italiane, ho potuto constatare che la notizia era vera e non doveva essere riportata: infatti è sbagliato riportare contenuti solo perché le fonti sono di parte. Se le fonti sono parziali, questo dovrebbe essere affrontato nella discussione.

A questo proposito colgo l'occasione per ricordare agli amministratori di feddit.it che la community europea https://feddit.de/c/europe risulta attualmente priva di moderatore.

Grazie per averlo sottolineato di nuovo. Ci attiveremo per trovare nuovi moderatori.

Ops...

I know this well, because as administrator of feddit.it I received a report regarding the content you published and, being in Italy and following Italian news well, I was able to see that the news was true and should not have been reported: in fact it is wrong report content only because the sources are biased. If the sources are biased, this should be addressed in the discussion.

In this regard, I would like to take this opportunity to remind the administrators of feddit.it that the European community https://feddit.de/c/europe is currently without a moderator.

Edit: However, now I have seen that a new moderator has been promoted, while the one who was previously the community moderator turned out to be a profile that no longer exists

Barbaric. Edit: but fitting for a nation with a facist government.

[–] poliverso@feddit.it 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately you are right: the Italian government is not a fascist government (this is not the right place to explain my statements), but unfortunately it is a government in which the majority of ministers and deputy ministers extol the fascist ideology and desire employment of fascist methods. There is therefore no surprise at this fascist drift, but it is important that Europe and the whole world are indignant at these drifts, because this is the only way to help millions of numb Italians to emerge from their lethargy.

There is a substantial difference between a fascist government and a government that would like to be one, but which finds itself with a constitution which (Renzi allowing) is difficult to modify, a President of the Republic who (hoping that he survives the legislature) carries out his duties very well role as guarantor of the Constitution and an unprepared, pathetic and incapable ruling class

You're right, it's just a lot of nuance for social media. Thanks for taking the time and spelling it out for others.
