Young activists drawing the shape of a dead body, with permanent paint, on the street, in frony of the Italian embassy
, with red stains as symbol of the blood that the Italian policeman make poured.
 


People remain silent during one minute, in memory of the dead comrade. But the meaning is not to mourn but to show the anger and the resistance, so show all the fists raised to the embassy.
Then the crowd sung "Bella ciao", the song of the italian partisans, "Avanti populo" and "Bandiera rossa".


The shape of the dead body is filled with flowers.

Solidarity and struggle messages are written on a large plastic sheet.

goede morgen meneer de president, let maar niet op die bloedende gezichten....
Meneer Verhofstadt- een minister met verantwoordelijkheid zou ik ook met zijn titel aanspreken, nu bent u gewoon een meneer- U verraadt uw eigen BURGERMANIFEST.Uw verklaringen vernederen mij dusdanig dat ik Uw gezag niet meer aanvaard.
Ik zal dan ook,als burger ongehoorzaam zijn. In zoverre dat ik mijn medeburgers - medewereldburgers- geen schade toebreng.Ik ben ervan overtuigd, dat dit niet moeilijk moet zijn; zeker als ik zie wat U en Uw collega's onder verantwoordelijkheid verstaan.
Uw kunt ten allen tijde mijn persoonsgegevens aan Uw instellingen opvragen, ook dat zal voor U niet moeilijk zijn.Mijn mening zal U hoe dan ook niet veranderen: U bent eerste minister onwaardig.
met toch een geachte groet,
pat
