For several days we have been observing the massive protest of truckers in Canada that, started by a small group, has flared up to huge numbers with a large part of the public supporting the protests against the impositions of the Canadian health regime.
The images of citizens carrying fuel cans to support the truckers to whom the government has cut off supplies is having visibility all over the world. And, although the government has planned the prison to punish those who helps the protesters, thousands of people keep on supplying the fuel needed to warm them in the Canadian climate, in order to prevent the truck drivers from being the victims of frost.
Once again, it is clear that from one side the governments are heartless and willing to suppress protest by any means, and on the other hand, citizens are showing humanity and a spirit of community.
But, is it a correct behaviour that the governments, as for example it has been happening for some time now in Italy, against the popular protests automatically put in place quite often over reactions, to affirm their vision in any case above all criticism?
What is going on behind the political scenes is becoming more and more evident. The priority of those who run the countries, is to defend their power.
The primary purpose of a government is to win against any form of protest and to deny any kind of mistake that they may have done.
