Bernini “Ensure free thought, but not to use universities as social centers”

TORINO (ITALPRESS) – “I remember that using universities in an incompatible way with teaching activities, like social centers, is a total misunderstanding of the free manifestation of thought, in which I believe very much. I think we have to protect him in all locations. For three years on this side I want and do so that anyone can say anything within the university and outside, because even the most distant theses must be expressed and defended, but with a single limit, no to violence. Violence can be physical, but also verbal. Solidarity with Rector Prandi, but also to the whole academic community. I allowed myself, without any controversy, to ask that all institutions give the same solidarity and do their part in the face of such an occupation, in a place where the real right is the right to study.” So Anna Maria Bernini, Minister of the University and Research, upon her arrival at the Palagiustizia in Turin for the inauguration of the judicial year. “This city has really suffered too much, it has experienced too many events, too many occupations,” Bernini added.
