«I am serene. I will go to jail, but the news does not come unexpected. In any case, I am lucky enough to be able to say goodbye to family and friends before they come to pick me up ”, reflects Dana Lauriola, spokesperson for the No Tav movement and leader of the Askatasuna social center, opening the mobilization in front of the Bussoleno City Council that yesterday tomorrow the inhabitants of Valsus dedicated a militant sentenced to two years in prison.
On Monday defense lawyers informed Dana Lauriola that the Turin Court denied her alternative sentences: “Now it is my turn. I think they will make fun of me in jail: I am the only one in Italy who goes there by means of a blockade, “says the activist on the front line for 15 years in Val Susa, trying to relieve tension, who has lived in Bussoleno for some time.but rooted in the historical social center of Turin.
In response to the judges’ decision, No Tav launches a direct attack on the Turin judiciary: “Here a movement is condemned, ideas and people are hit,” thundered Alberto Perino, leader of the Waltzian wing of the movement, rebuilding the events that led to a total of 18 years in prison for twelve defendants in the trial for the protest of March 3, 2012: the day of struggle at the Avigliana exit from Turin-Bardonecchia that last winter already brought former professor Nicoletta Dosio a la Vallette, in his cell after refusing alternative measures.
The movement threatens protest actions “to be studied and implemented with the usual imagination and determination.” Since yesterday afternoon, meanwhile, a permanent garrison has been active under Lauriola’s house: “We won’t let Dana wait for arrest alone.” From the house two streets away, where she is now under house arrest, Nicoletta Dosio also lends her support to Dana Lauriola, confirming in Bussoleno the heart of the movement that opposes high speed.
According to his lawyers, by denying the alternative sentences, the judges criticized Lauriola “for not distancing himself from No Tav, for staying in Bussoleno and in the Valley.” An element about which even Bruna Consolini, mayor of the town, expresses concern: “I am not talking about the actions of the movement, but as a citizen it bothers me to know that those who live in Val Susa can face Italian justice from an unfavorable condition.”
