Pro-Palestine procession at the Book Fair, Zerocalcare to the demonstrators: “Those who bring attention to Gaza rejected with truncheons”

In Turin the author left the demonstration to join the people gathered outside

TURIN – After a confrontation with the organizers of the demonstration, the police authorized Zerocalcare and some reporters to go out to meet the people in the procession. The author took the floor: “There is not only Zerocalcare (here with you, ed.). Even on the other side of the turnstiles there is a large representation of people who work at the Show and care about what is happening in Palestine, they could not continue their work by pretending nothing happened– he added – What happens many times these days happened: people who try to bring attention to the massacre that is taking place in Palestine are repelled with truncheons. A space that talks about culture and current affairs does not he can close his eyes, he can’t leave out the story. One day we will be asked to account for what is happening in Palestine”, he concluded.
