"I voted against this report, Mr President, because it should have been more vehement in its condemnation of demonstrations. Demonstrations are legitimate in themselves as a means of displaying one’s opposition to a policy – where this is the case – but they must be always and exclusively peaceful. I myself, Mr President, have demonstrated many times against government decisions with which I did not agree. What method did I use? I chained myself to the furniture in the Bergamo municipal council building, I chained myself to the furniture in the Bergamo provincial council building and I chained myself to the furniture in the Lombardy regional council building in Italy. Who knows, maybe one day in the next two and a half years, I will chain myself to your Presidential bench, Mr President. In any case, this is a peaceful means of protest; it does not involve arms or violence, unlike the protests which, I am sad to say, have been taking place for some time now throughout the world, which I condemn, which the Pensioners’ Party condemns and which everybody here condemns."@en1
