vincenza has decided to pretty well close tomorrow in the hope of avoiding problems...

what might well have been a pretty normal demonstration is turning into a sort of national crisis

government politicians are marching against the governments descision which has pretty well been joked about enough and really has little consequence apart from being a laugh

however it has also come at a time when the red brigade has reared its ugly head again and a lot of its members are under arrest and are due to be charged with various plans to blow up or kill various people/buildings...

what has this got to do with the march ... the last march had photos of three of those arrested recenty taking part in that event and there have been many statements from the far extreme left here which suggest that a battle against the police forces of the state is in the offing...

its all being blown up a lot here... not just by the right... the intereior minister is also making semi calming statements... it might well be an interesting day tomorrow for modern italian politics to see how far things will get pushed ... and it has all the makings of a worse event than the last G8 meeting here in italy...

hopefully some sort of compromise will be arrived at and it will all be a lot of hot air blown in the wind... but neither the italian riot police or the extreme far left are renowned for their calm approach to things ... and with recent memories of the policeman killed in the stadium violence and score sheets being painted on walls all around italy suggesting the ultras are one -nil up it all adds another sort of element...

to me it seems that its like the pot has been boiling here for quite a while and a number of events have aligned themselves badly in the sense of a violent outcome... and finally some frustrations... anger and hate will get released at this event... hopefully i am reading it all wrong ...tomorrow we shall see
