Expo, day-1: the world. in line to see the pavilions? – La Gazzetta dello Sport

We should present the Expo, which opens today, with all its problems and its opportunities. Instead we have a duty to report incidents of yesterday and the dangers of today, since they came from all over Italy and from many foreign countries to challenge the very existence of the event, more or less qualified as the most advanced expression of capitalism murderess , or something like that.

1 But nobody died.
No, we’re doing and wanting to impress by a thousand people, not all young (there are three Germans expelled and one of the three is 52 years old) and not all compact behind the slogan No Expo yesterday black bloc and social centers at some point they came to blows, for reasons not clear, perhaps because the black bloc were exaggerating with vandalism.
2 It takes a precise record.
Well, in front of the Castello Sforzesco is the Expo Gate yesterday morning several types detached from the party just before the parade from Largo Cairoli wrote in front of the tent structure (put there to give information to tourists ): “# 1m no expo” where # 1m should translate “May 1″. The statue in the center of the square was covered with a flag, two protesters, arrampicatisi roof Expo Gate have exposed the banner: “Great Event equal Grande Bufala. No Expo: another world is possible”. The procession then marched directly towards Via Melchiorre Gioia. There was a van decorated with fake packaging of chips McDonald’s, among men and women masked in order to tease Enel, Coca Cola and other companies sponsor the Expo. Viale Majno was attempted an assault on the headquarters of Manpower, the company that hired the young on behalf of the Expo, has triggered Celere with a couple of positions. Journalists, for the occasion, have remedied some slap. A notary in suits, evidently with considerable sense of humor, has a balcony facing the flag. From below they pelted with eggs and empty plastic bottles. Once he gets a little smear, the good bourgeois returned home, shaking his head slightly. The agents searched a bit ‘of apartments suspects – who exercise have made too assiduously in recent days -, arrested a woman, kidnapped mace, flammable liquids, etc. Those responsible for public order are afraid above all for today.

3 What should happen now?
There will be a procession from Via XXIV Maggio along Via De Amicis and via Carducci, arriving in Piazzale Cadorna. The police will prevent deviations towards the center. They all say certain arrival of twenty-thirty thousand people. The protesters claim that their protest is called “The Five Days” of Milan, in memory of those of 1848, without that there is no Austrian Radetzky to hunt. In the dock are well Renzi and the Jobs Act.
4 speak the Expo itself.
The Milan Expo is titled: ” Feeding the Planet. Energy for life “and will develop many topics in this area, from agriculture to food production. It will remain open until 31 October. Opens Renzi, in connection with the Pope video. At 18, starting from the Duomo, they will ring the bells of the churches of the diocese. Tonight, Scala, Puccini’s Turandot, conducted by Chailly. Last night, however, preview in Piazza Duomo, Lang Lang on piano and Bocelli microphone, broadcast worldwide. The Expo will be a great opportunity and a great showcase. There will be 145 countries, represented in 80 halls, three supranational organizations (UN, EU, the Caribbean Community) and 13 civil organizations. Italian Pavilion is a district that stretches along a road of 325 meters around which are organized in villages and small squares, presents the Italian excellence. They are expected in Milan 20 million visitors (9 million Italians) with a tourist spending estimated at $ 3.5 billion, 10 million tickets already sold. The financial targets for the six months that will last exposure is not calculated, but according to estimates by the New York Times is expected a turnover of 10 billion euro, 19 000 jobs on the site, just under 80,000 outside.

5 Mattarella?

Michelle Obama is expected by July 4. We do not know when, but also Pope Francis Expo will probably visit the turkish pavilion as a sign of thaw after the statement on the Armenian genocide. During the six months are expected within the exhibition site from 40 to 70 heads of state or government, more than a thousand ministers and a large group of representatives of the various royal families of the world. Mayor Pisapia appears confident: “It will be a good opening and the level of the pavilions will amaze you.”
