Thousands of clocks of the card. And for each bell, a nameplate that recalls a civil value: anti-fascism, legality, equality, solidarity. So, with a reminder of the satirical at the initiative of the Pillar the first of the Regional emilia romagna, the sardines are preparing to welcome Matteo Salvini in Palermo.

The capital of sicily, is in a mess already by a few days. Appeared again on the balconies of the sheets that made the history of the mafia after the slaughter: the above, and this time, there is written “Sicily is not bound”, with some variations on the theme, which refer to article 3 of the Constitution. Salvini will talk about in a theatre of the city, in the centre of the city, and at the same time, on the outside, will stage the event of sardines.

But the highlight of the day, and also the one that most worries the police forces, will be the walk that the leader of the League has decided to do in the market of Ballarò, inside of a neighborhood that has a high percentage of african immigrants. In anticipation of this visit, the sign Sos Ballarò, which contains fifty associations working in the district, has organized a second protest: “we Believe that the initiative of Salvini is a real provocation – says Claudio Arestivo, of the association “Moltivolti” – Ballarò represents the failure of the slogan of the former minister: here we work every day to an integration of authentic, here you will find both the old and new Palermo, the immigrants and the natives. Of the simplifications Salvini, linked to the dynamics of election, own we don’t need”.

Numerous, the organizers say, the adhesions may be thousands of people in the square to welcome Salvini. The event is presented as “peaceful” but the Police and it has provided robust measures of safety to prevent accidents, both to Ballarò, piazza Verdi, where the leader will participate in the rally league.

Sensed the climate, Salvini, launched his challenge on Facebook: “Some “democrat” he thinks he can decide who can speak at Palermo, and who is not… see you tomorrow, with the women and men who dream, work and struggle for Palermo, Sicily, and Italy to be the best”. In the program, between the bet to Ballarò and the festival in the late afternoon, as well a visit to a police station: a stage is curious, considering that Salvini is no longer the minister of the Interior. But in that police station, believed to be the frontier because it has jurisdiction over the slums and populated by immigrants, has worked for eight years Igor Gelarda, the policeman who is one of the local leaders of the League.

on Tuesday morning, before leaving Palermo, Salvini will be at the headquarters of the Ars, the regional assembly, and to baptize the group of the League. Will enter for the first time in the Palace of the ancient institution now headed by Gianfranco Arms, the forzista the summer last gave him publicly of “asshole”.
