Today, a small pandemonium broke out at h11.50 at the 3 terminal in Fiumicino when about thirty Kurdish protesters began to chant slogans against ISIS and against the massacre taking place in the city of Kobane.
In a few seconds, police and police officers, in uniform and in plain clothes, surrounded the small group and "contained the exuberance".
The perplexities that give rise to the episode are different.
The first is the ease with which, despite all the applicable prevention measures, it is possible to "resonate" at the Roman airport.
The second is the ability of the Kurds to seek help by showing off PKK flags and praising their historical leader Öcalan (now life imprisonment in Turkey for terrorism). It seems evident that few people believe in the vaunted anti-isis moves of the powerful Turkish neighbor, least of all those directly concerned, the Kurds, who are precisely being massacred in Kobane on the Syrian border.
The third (linked to the first) is the risk run by the participants in the roar in a highly supervised area and alert for possible attacks.
Here it went well. Tragedy is elsewhere.
