December 20, 2019 "Sardines do not exist, they never existed. They were just a pretext. They could have been sturgeons, salmon or ibex. The truth is that the pot was ready to burst. It could have done so and left them all burned. Fortunately, sardines they simply allowed her to whistle ". Because "Italy is in the midst of a peaceful popular uprising that has no precedent in recent decades. Whoever tries to oppose it will only hear the whistle more acute, those who try to ride it will be disappointed". Thus the four founders of the Sardines, Andrea Garreffa, Roberto Morotti, Mattia Santori and Giulia Trappoloni.

In a letter to the Republic, the four founders of the sardine movement trace the life of the squares from November 15 onwards to say that "in 30 days, 92 squares were filled all over Italy, to which 24 foreign, European and US "and that" about half a million people went out of the house, in the cold and in the rain, to say that their idea of ​​society did not reflect at all the one presented by the current Italian right, that same right that does not miss an opportunity to to claim to have the people on their side ". And that the strength of sardines "is to connect the virtual to the real", write the four.

But what is the sardine movement? The four animators-founders write: "We organize ourselves in geographical work tables and we discover that integration is easier said than practiced", however, no one is the bearer of absolute truths and the dialogue, which passes from listening, is the only synthesis of those differences that, contaminating themselves, will remain such even after having confronted each other ".

Targets? The answer is that "we give ourselves a common path: return to the streets, streets and territories". Andrea Garreffa, Roberto Morotti, Mattia Santori, Giulia Trappoloni argue that "Italy is in the midst of a peaceful popular uprising that has no precedent in recent decades. Whoever tries to oppose it will only hear the whistle more acute, those who try to ride it will be disappointed ". As for the future of sardines, "the very shape of a party would be an outrage to what has been and could be. And not because the parties are wrong, but because we come from a pot and it is not there that we want to return. what a frame to give to a revolt is like putting borders on the sea. You can do it, but you will be ridiculous. "
