“Controversy at Uno Maggio Libero and Thinking’s Final Party in Taranto”

TARANTO – No communication for reasons of public order, but in the end only a lucky few, who moreover gave their contribution to the fundraising to support the costs of the event, yesterday evening were able to participate in the final party of Uno Maggio Libero and Thinking in the Spaceport premises.

Many fans remained outside and there was no lack of envy and controversy. The press and even the media partners are also out of the picture, who discovered only through a few videos posted on social networks the unofficial continuation and reserved for a limited audience of the event which had been closed early, due to bad weather, in the park area archaeological site of the Greek walls. Those audiences that had been defined as “heroic” for having braved the rain and danced on the mud had to surrender to force majeure.

Across the city, after a few hours, some big names (from Samuele Bersani to Ron, from Diodato to The Representative of the list) performed for a smaller circle of spectators. While it was pouring outside. After all, the rain was expected and did not give a break. The decision to confirm the demonstration anyway despite the adverse forecasts had matured on the eve after several meetings between the organization and the provincial public entertainment commission.

Yesterday the idea of ​​moving part of the concert to other locations, to the theater and to the Spaceport itself, had also arisen, but it would have been too complicated. Then the announcement to close the big concert ahead of time and the surprise ending right at Spazioporto, indoors, reserved for a select few. But if an openly popular event, which starts from the bottom, suddenly becomes elite, even if for a few hours, it means that there has been a short circuit. But it will have to be redone. Because One May Free and Thinking remains a great stage for launching important messages. And this year he did it singing freedom.
