Il risultato del referendum non lascia dubbi. Ha vinto, e con ampio vantaggio, la cultura della paura e della ricerca individuale di soluzioni contro la violenza, con il 64% dei voti. La cultura della pace, la società e lo Stato ne escono sconfitti. Quelli che hanno appoggiato il '2 SÃŒ' sono stati, di fatto, una minoranza, anche tra quelli che avrebbero dovuto difenderlo per tradizione o per dovere: le ONGs, i Movimenti Sociali e Popolari, le Chiese (lottano per la vita?), Sindacati e Partiti di Centro-Sinistra. Lo stesso governo poco ha fatto in favore del “SI”. Per spiegare questa sconfitta non serve analizzare i grandi mezzi e ricorsi a disposizione della destra. Questa sconfitta rivela tutta la fragilità della nostra gente e della nostra organizzazione. Questa è la cruda verità . Molti sono rimasti seduti vedendo il referendum passare. - di Ermanno Allegri, agenzia Adital tra i sostenitori del "Sì"

"Bologna è un caso nazionale. Lo sgombero delle baracche degli immigrati deciso dal sindaco, le reazioni esasperate e sopra le righe di alcuni, la polizia che carica i giovani davanti al Comune, alimentano tensione in città e preoccupazione per ciò che può avvenire d’ora in poi nel paese. Il conflitto che sta degenerando nasce da un approccio sbagliato ai temi della legalità e della sicurezza" scrive Paolo Beni, presidente nazionale Arci dopo le contestazioni che a Bologna hanno richiamato il sindaco Sergio Cofferati. Per Beni, limitarsi a “ripristinare la legalità ” di fronte a cosi gravi problemi sociali, spesso nasconde la mancanza di soluzioni efficaci e giuste. “L’unica via d’uscita è provare a costruire soluzioni partecipate, che partano dalla consapevolezza che la democrazia locale ha bisogno di tutti i soggetti per governare la complessità e non di un sovrano illuminato" conclude Beni che propone un incontro nazionale a Bologna, dal quale far partire una riflessione avanzata su “complessità sociale e urbanistica dell’inclusione” con la partecipazione di tutta la società civile.
