Francesco Luise explains his decision to participate in public demonstrations

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Francesco Luise wrote in L'Osservatore Romano that his participation in public protests stems from a desire to be heard rather than a pursuit of political perfection. He stated that when a generation feels the need to be listened to, it takes to the streets to address what has remained unheard.

Luise noted that demonstrating in public shows his generation is not lazy or without prospects, but is instead unwilling to passively accept a projected future. He observed that these mobilizations do not aim to propose new financial plans for Italy, but instead foster a sense of unity and humanity among thousands of people working for the common good.

He acknowledged a challenge facing his generation, noting that while they can mobilize for hours in public squares, they do not always translate this energy into voting. Luise suggested this may be due to a progressive loss of trust in the political tools used to turn dissent into representation.
