Libya - Italy: the complicity embarrassed!

Libya buries its dead
killed by the violence of a regime now in disarray ...

How much indignation, how much anxiety in our hearts, and the fear of what will happen tomorrow " along our coasts, it stops in front of astonished televisions. E 'timidity? I can not answer, but I know that I, as all the friends I meet on the street and on the blog, I have a heart full of anger and pain! And I think what we want ... we are indignant, but until we are able to transfer our values, those enshrined in the Constitution and written in the Manifesto of the values \u200b\u200bof PD (which I feel more part of) our indignation against the violence of unprecedented 'yet another crazy dictator, will be just a facade, because essentially sterile in terms of concrete results. I received (thanks to the work of Don Renato Sacco) and read with care and pride Press Pax Christi of 22 February and I felt a motion of contempt for the Union's policy and that of every single European country (and Italy in particular), regarding trade weapon systems.
In the name of economic interests of a few, often passed off as the interests of all, we continue to arm dictators around the world and so far we have also reinforced the worst offender of the Mediterranean, Gaddafi. Pax Christi touches on important issues such as the PD candidate to lead the next Italian government, I think we should play a deep reflection and to take clear positions, not only in principle, because the values \u200b\u200bcan not reside only on "Maps" but must live in our choices and actions, because there is still understood to provide weapons to dictators like Gaddafi. On the statement of Pax Christi reminds us explicitly " that Law 185 of 1990 on arms exports concerned with establishing the" respect for human rights in the country of final destination "and to reject the export of arms" if there is a clear risk that technology or military equipment for export might be used for internal repression .

Libya - Italy: the complicity embarrassed.

Lock the market for arms and respect human rights.

On 2 September last year we expressed our distaste for the "unseemly spectacle " in honor of Gaddafi prepared by the head of government who ostentatiously kissing the hand of the dictator, completely ignoring any mention of human rights abuses, the tragic fate of victims of rejections, who died in the desert or in Libyan prisons. Now is the ruthless repression of the revolts. Armed groups fired on a crowd that is also bombed.

Pax Christi wants to remember that Italy Europe is the biggest exporter of arms to the regime of Gaddafi. In the 2008-2009 period, the Italian government has authorized the sending of arms companies own more than € 205 million, more than a third of all permits issued by the EU. In contrast to European counterparts, the foreign minister refrained from reporting even the temporary suspension of arms supplies to Gaddafi.
Italy, and business partner of many horrors, embarrassed, stuttering.
Yet there have been stresses. After the first riots in the countries of North Africa, with the Network Disarmament and the peace table, we asked the government to suspend all military cooperation with all area countries.

But the lives of Libyans worth of oil, gas and all other interests.


E 'urgent review of the "treaty of friendship, partnership and cooperation between Italy and Libya signed in Benghazi in August 2008 by Berlusconi and Gaddafi - with which the Italian exports of arms to the Libyan coast have taken momentum.

We want to remember that Law 185 of 1990 on arms exports calls to ensure "respect for human rights in the country of final destination" and to refuse the export of arms "if there is a clear risk that such technology or military equipment for export might be used for internal repression. "

disarmament, justice and democracy are the foundation for the North Africa and the Mediterranean become, according to the dream of La Pira, a great new Lake Tiberias ". Not the bloodbath that we are forced to look in front home.

"Simul stabunt, simul cadent ..."

Champions ...

Ballarò I have not watched last night, but throughout the day, for the umpteenth day, I followed with anxiety what is happening in Libya. The intervention of the Franceschini 'I took this morning through facebook, and I liked: accurate, specific, detailed in his condemnation of violence that have hit the Libyan people by a dictator Crazy and in severe criticism of the attitude disgraceful and no appeal of our government! I do not know how it will end this carnage that, yesterday, Gaddafi raised with fury, and a contempt for his people ("rats", has called hundreds of thousands of young in revolt!) that is found only in the sick minds of the worst dictators.

is no shame to think that Berlusconi has accepted in Italy as a special friend (or especially?) And has allowed those arrogant and crazy antics that now dirty Italy's image on television around the world. The only thing I can think of now is an end the violence as soon as possible, knowing that the international community to move with wisdom and vision, focusing on life and the right to live in freedom, even for the Libyan people, economic interests first, before any even legitimize realpolitik. As for Gaddafi and Berlusconi I just hope this is indeed the " stabunt simul simul cadent" : will gain the dignity and development perspective and freedom not only of Italian and Libyan, but the entire Mediterranean.

Libya: The newspapers today speak of at least 1000 dead.

Island ... North Africa and the F-35.

Hunting F-35 flight.

The Italian government in recent weeks has failed irreparably an appointment with history and I am not referring to the ability of management and acceptance of the extraordinary flow of refugees from Tunisia and Egypt, but to the fact that over the past 2 years has declined to represent Europe and fielding foreign policy (by developing even those opened by Prodi) north Africa, on behalf of Europe. Yet thanks to its special geographical position, Italy is naturally destined to become "bridge" between Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Instead, the Berlusconi government did exactly the opposite of what the geopolitical location and common sense should have been advised. In fact, Berlusconi isolated Italy from the rest of Europe to create a special relationship, exclusive staff with Colonel Gaddafi, confusing (but has its own special feature) institutional relationships with those friends, with dragging in this policy borrowed in foreign (ni), even his friends leaguers. This choice has created disastrous conditions because Gaddafi, during his bizarre performances in Rome, Italy blackmail Europe with billions required to stop the flow of migration from North Africa, is pushed to foresee the end of the Christian West, it gave to the preaching of the Koran (as Christians have no rights from its parts and for the truth are not the only), we did kiss the hand of the Sultan that Italian (taken from the hard work that requires the formation of a personal harem) was not even have time to complain about the harassment that his August guest deals with migrants crossing its lands, especially if Christians from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia.


A policy of increased attention to throughout North Africa, consisting of reports, presence, collaboration, would enable them to play an active role at this stage, man, maybe in place addressing the problems that we are forced to face, sea, islands, in shelters ... the skin of people who arrive and those that have to welcome them and help them.

these when I don Renato Sacco of the editorial staff of "Mosaic of Peace" - which he has edited - I anticipated the following article, published in the book review, that care about their "Mosaic of Peace."

February 15, 2011 - Don Renato Sacco.

photos panorama.blog.it . refugees landed on Lampedusa.

In these days, as the Minister Maroni said 'we risk seeing the arrival of a wave of 80,000 immigrants who flee from North Africa'. And on the island of Lampedusa experience moments of solidarity and hospitality accompanied by controversy. Like the one with the EU by the same Minister of Interior, which does not hesitate to blame the whole of Europe and to claim an immediate contribution of EUR 100 million because, he says, 'this situation is not resolved by the rejection'. And while we see these great movements of people into the streets in Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Yemen, Iran (and Italy!) And leak into the sea of \u200b\u200bthousands of people who go in search ... And lose their lives, the public service RAI broadcasts another island, one of the famous, in Honduras, where someone likes to pretend to be shipwrecked, etc..

That bitterness, to say the confusion and anger! The message I get is that it is all a fiction, as in Lampedusa in Honduras, something you watch on TV, that does not touch you closely. And, icing on the whole, arrives, the island of Fame, the call of the Director General of RAI to congratulate the transmission! Do not add more. Each face is your opinion ...

I almost hope - given that for 10 years leads with d. Angel heading for a small television in Verbania, VcoAzzurratv.it - \u200b\u200bI receive a phone call from the Director Rai, though in that he has nothing to do TV. If you call, however, we could ask him to convey to the Minister Maroni, desperate for € 100 million to Lampedusa, not to take them from the island of Fame, no, God forbid! and then the program will not cost all this money mica! No, take them to the design of the F35, the new fighter planes, costing about 100 million euros each. And Italy wants to buy 131 well! One more one less, what difference is there. Anyone interested, is that Maroni Masi, consult the website of Pax Christi.it

IF NOT NOW WHEN?

E 'is the slogan chosen by women for the demonstration on February 13 which will cover the whole of Italy, with events in major cities. A 'initiative which was joined immediately known many women, politics, culture, trade unions, and business, scientific research and entertainment, which take to the streets with millions of other women less known but equally angry, against the attack on the their dignity.



"Even in Varese women are mobilizing to restore dignity to Italy.
Sunday, February 13, 2011 will be
in Piazza Monte Grappa
pm 10.30 to 12.30.
With a shared symbol:
a white scarf of mourning for the state prevailing in the country.
slogan: Another Italian history is possible. "

In the square, and in Varese in Italy, I hope that there are too many men on their side, their friends, husbands, boyfriends, fathers, sons, brothers and sisters. The country where until a few decades ago it was legitimate to have mitigating sentence in cases of "crime of honor," now at least have the courage and the decency to take to the streets to say "enough" to impose a "shoulder to Berlusconi, this pseudo-culture of fiction, fake wellness fake happiness, fake love, gradually imposed on the real life, with the result of bringing us all a little 'less real, a little' more cynical!

In recent days, I thought the campaign "I AM WOMAN AND SAY ENOUGH!" launched its women and supported by some newspapers and I was going to write for my blog post for a claim to us men the right and duty to be at the side of women with their own slogans, but declined for men: "MALE AND SAY ENOUGH IS TOO!" Just this havoc on the body and the image of women: the dignity of women is our dignity, women who tramples tramples on life, love, generosity, beauty, grace, enthusiasm, courage, strength, hope, everyday heroism of being a woman, mother, wife, sister, friend. Then I have the last Blog sen. Paolo Rossi, PD, I read the post from January 31, "Sister Rita: I liked it, I was intrigued and tried to figure out who was Sister Rita Giaretta and when I understood, I understood that even in times of mobilization by women, such as these, it is right that there are women in the limelight, not us, it is better that men become more sober-as stated in the card. Tettamanzi in "Not There is no future without solidarity "- even" in words, in the exhibition itself, the exercise of power in daily life ". In times like these we must support them and, with great humility, to step back to reflect on our role overflowing, spaces and power that still occupy unduly in society, in public, in the Board of Directors of public and private companies and begin to "put on a diet" to recognize women the space belongs to them. For this I am glad that some friends of the PD and a piece of so-called "civil society", have long proposed the candidacy for mayor of Varese Luisa Oprandi. And I hope that the Democratic Party, do not let it fall, do not let it vanish into the mists of indifference, who can even hope to take advantage of the February 13 for a small gesture of compensation to all women! I appreciate not only women but also men of their friends!

And now I go back to Sister Rita Giaretta, even on behalf of the sisters of the Community RUT Caserta, joined the demonstrations of 13 February with a letter that should be read in every square of Italy (especially us men) :


Open letter from Sister Rita Caserta Giaretta (from the website: http://www.filomenainrete.com/
Caserta, January 27, 2011
(Feast of St. Angela Merici )

"If you come to know clearly
that are endanger the safety and honesty of the daughters,
not have to allow for anything, nor stand, nor have any regard,
if you can not provide you
main recourse for mothers and without regard,
be insistent, too intrusive and annoying "(St. Angela Merici).


years, along with three of my sisters (Ursuline Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Mary), are involved in a land of many to say "no hope". A territory, Caserta, more and more in his knee for severe environmental degradation, social and cultural life, where even the scourge of sexual exploitation perpetrated to the detriment of many young immigrant women, is very much present with signs of violence and its real slavery.
As a woman, as consecrated, caused by the Gospel of Jesus who speaks of freedom and hope, along with my sisters, I chose to "make me a friendly companion next to these young foreign women, often minors, to offer them the wine of hope, the bread of life and the smell of dignity.
Today, looking at the face of Susan and bend light in one of his little Francis, chosen and accepted with love, thinking of its history - one of many stories accepted, which was still a child (16 years) was found on our roads as a commodity to be bought, to violate and use the part of many Italian men - have been assailed by a feeling of deep shame, but also of anger.
I felt the need, as a woman as dedicated and as an Italian national, to apologize to Susan for the unseemly spectacle to which everyone, these days, we are witnessing. And not only Susan, but also to the many women who have found help and liberation and to the many, many women still slaves on our roads. But also to the many volunteers and many young people with whom we believe in the value of the religious person, in particular of women, recognized and respected in their dignity and freedom.
I am shocked to assist as "villas" of power from government representatives, elected to try and do only good for our country, especially in a time of crisis so severe, offend, humiliate and spoil the image of women. Anxious to see exercise power in a manner so brazen and arrogant that reduces women to a commodity and where rivers of money and promises intertwined bodies transformed into objects of enjoyment.
Faced with this show and much indignation is great!
How not to go with the mind the image of another "palace" of power, where about two thousand years ago the powers that be, incarnate in King Herod, John the Baptist shouted with all her voice: "It is not lawful , it is not lawful. "
today too, in the name of Susan, I feel I raise my voice and tell our powerful the Erode-turn, you are not allowed! You are not allowed to offend and humiliate the "beauty" of women, you are not allowed to transform relations into commodities trading, driven by interest and money, and especially now it is not lawful stifle the way of young people in their desire for authenticity, beauty, transparency and honesty. All this is the betrayal of the Gospel of life and hope!
But before this show I rode in a question: where are the men, where are the boys? There are few voices, even believers, who wake up clear and strong. In their silence, there is still too much silence, complacency and perhaps subtle hidden envy. I believe that in this male world, where relations and relationships are often exercised in the name of power, there is great need of liberation.
So thanks to you, Susan, sister and friend, for giving voice to mine, and our indignation, I can now, as a woman consecrated as a citizen, and look into your eyes with the little Francis breathe the scent of human dignity and freedom.

Sr. Rita and sisters Ruth community
