▶️ VIDEO : Clip anti JO - auteur inconnu 📽

🇮🇹 Condividiamo questo clip contro le Olimpiadi, ricordando che potrebbero essere un momento di denuncia della violenza della polizia verso il resto del mondo e che saranno un'opportunità per un balzo in avanti repressivo. Ma forse anche una cristallizzazione della rabbia?
