“Why can the left not free itself from certain presences?”: the correspondent of 4 di Sera on Rete 4 asked Pier Luigi Bersani about the tensions that occurred in Bologna during the demonstration for Abderrahim Fakir, the 43-year-old Moroccan who died during a police check at Pilastro. “But why the left? – Bersani asked in return – It’s a democracy that must keep these phenomena under control; in Bologna, we certainly always have, let’s say, an aggressive presence.”

“How can these things be contained? Naturally, preventive interventions are needed, also from law enforcement, and also from security systems. Do we have to become policemen we who are on the left? What is being asked of us? Don’t spread lessons to those who don’t need to hear them,” Bersani concluded, annoyed. Finally, when asked how the security problem should be addressed, he replied: “Have four years of sermons and propaganda improved the situation? No, we are seeing attacks on the rule of law without having solved the security problem. What is it? The Wild West? Are we following the Trump model?”
Containing the violent is not up to the left”
