Students protest against Italian embassy in Tunisia for unjust visa refusals

“L’altra Tunisia” italian website reported about a student protest in front of Italian Embassy in Tunisia, monday the 4th of December. These students want to continue their university studies in Italy, as Italian Minister of Foreign Affair requires all of them have to pass a B1 language level exam as a pre-condition to obtain a visa for studying.

The students organized this protest because since they paid very expensive courses in Italian Cultural Center in Tunis, after having paid the exam fees and after having succeed in the exam… they have got their visa refused!

In the last weeks on social media were circulating stories about the Italian Embassy in Tunisia employe responsible for student visa asking and pretending “strange” questions about age (e.g. “if you are 26 how it comes you want to go to study?” etc.).

the banner in the pitcures claim the right of dignity and to be respected and the right to study, the right of a fair exam (and not a 30 seconds exams!) and last but not least the racism of Italian Embassy in Tunisia.

What happened its part of Italian imperialis attitude in oppressed countries by imperialsm like Tunisia, where imperialsm behind the words such as “bilateral agreements”, “friendships”, “cultural links” and so on, just wants to exploite the country resources and its people in a thief manner!
