There is a fundamental misunderstanding between the government and its voters about the security decree. Many voters of the PDL and the League since it was approved really think that all undocumented immigrants in Italy are being arrested and deported, while it's not. The misunderstanding arises because many Italians have no idea of the complexity of the phenomenon of immigration, which has been further complicated by the usual very bad Italian laws, since the Bossi-Fini law of 2002. http://www.inaltreparole.net/en/news/immigratilega231109.htmlThere is a fundamental misunderstanding between the government and its voters about... more
San Nicola Varco is a place in Eboli, near Salerno, where there is a farmers market built in the 80s and never came into operation. The structure had become, for many years, the lodging of hundreds of North African immigrants, mainly Moroccans, day laborers in local fields. Most of them had arrived in Italy regularly, with a contract of employment. But once here, the contract turned out to be a scam. http://www.inaltreparole.net/en/news/sannicolavarco111109.htmlSan Nicola Varco is a place in Eboli, near Salerno, where there is a farmers market... more
The unjust and absurd death of Stefano Cucchi, and the suicide of the new Red brigade militant Diana Blefari have served at least to talk about the prison problem in Italy, ignored and censored for years. Art. 27 of the italian Constitution, not applied as unfortunately happens to most of our basic charter, states that "Punishment cannot consist of treatment contrary to human dignity and must be aimed at rehabilitation of the offender." http://www.inaltreparole.net/en/news/carceriitalia051109.htmlThe unjust and absurd death of Stefano Cucchi, and the suicide of the new Red brigade... more
Among the silence of the press and taking advantage of the ignorance of most of the population Western governments are doing something that will one day be seen by our descendants in the same way we now see the slave trade. A shame without justification. Western governments imprison thousands of people who haven't committed any crime. Hundreds of others are left to die at sea and in deserts. http://inaltreparole.net/en/resistance/illegalimmigrants281009.htmlAmong the silence of the press and taking advantage of the ignorance of most of the... more
Today in Rome the greatest italian anti-racist demonstration up to now led 200,000 people to the streets, from Piazza della Repubblica to the stage in Piazza Bocca della Verità . A demonstration to say no to the Security decree that criminalizes immigrants, no to rejections of refugees, illegal under any rule of international law, not to the Centers for Identification and Expulsion where innocent people can be kept in jail for up to six months.Today in Rome the greatest italian anti-racist demonstration up to now led 200,000... more
A 50 years old woman who earns a living with acupuncture and massage is a risk to national security? Another woman of 45 years with a husband and two adult children, is a danger to italian citizens?
These are the stories of "illegal" immigrants detained without trial, without reason and without any conviction in the identification and deportation centers (Cie), for a period of up to 6 months.A 50 years old woman who earns a living with acupuncture and massage is a risk to... more
Refugees of war are not criminals or potentially violent people but are men, women and children victims of violence, trying to escape. This is not a difficult concept to understand, but Italy rejects refugees treating them like criminals, like commodities, like waste. Berlusconi's government is criticized for its behavior by the EU and UN, but doesn't give a damn.Refugees of war are not criminals or potentially violent people but are men, women and... more
Most Italians just don't to understand why it's criminal, inhumane and immoral to reject in Libya immigrants arriving by sea. The members of the government don't understand either, maybe because they ended up being victims of their own propaganda. The Minister of legislative simplification Calderoli says it's not good to let people come to Italy, because immigration deprives the country of origin of labor force and anyway our country cannot accommodate everyone.Most Italians just don't to understand why it's criminal, inhumane and immoral to... more
While the world rightly continues to laugh at this ridiculous country, in Italy happen things that aren't funny at all. It's not funny that 73 refugees have died at sea while no one cared enough to help them. It's not funny the fact that the five survivors, under the new security decree, may be prosecuted for illegal immigration. It's not funny playing the game "bounce the clandestine" created on Facebook by the son of Northern League leader Bossi.While the world rightly continues to laugh at this ridiculous country, in Italy happen... more
"The government will implement a long-term and hopefully final plan against the forces of evil, not only against widespread crime but also against organized crime." It's the new amazing promise of the President of the Council. Because now we know that Berlusconi is mostly a tv seller we'll take this news with some skepticism, partly because we have yet to see if will be maintained his latest amazing promises made to l'Aquila earthquake victims."The government will implement a long-term and hopefully final plan against the forces... more
The italian security decree that criminalize undocumented immigrants is in force since a few days and we already see the first big accomplishments of this wonderful law: a Bengali immigrant called the police to arrest three robbers and was in turn denounced as illegal. Security is therefore encouraging honest immigrants not to denounce the criminalsThe italian security decree that criminalize undocumented immigrants is in force since... more
If there is no crime emergency you can make one. It's very interesting to see the data on real crimes committed in Italy and those on the television coverage that is given to them. The crime rate in Italy over the last twenty years is unchanged. Immigrants were half a million and now are 4 million, yet that hasn't created any actual increase in crime.If there is no crime emergency you can make one. It's very interesting to see the data... more
Today In Italy comes into force the security decree, a brutal law that criminalizes undocumented immigrants and makes it impossible for people who already live a difficult and often dramatic situation to give birth in a hospital, to recognize their children, to find a home, to send money to their families, to ask the aid of the police if they are victims of a crime. On top of that they may end up in jail for having done absolutely nothing.Today In Italy comes into force the security decree, a brutal law that criminalizes... more
The fight against crime makes great strides in Italy. The police of Arcevia, in the province of Ancona, discovered the local center of illegal immigration. Thanks probably to the denunciation of some neighbous, an activity that the Italians were not able to practice well from the days of fascism and now, thanks to the security decree, it is again possible, the police have discovered two undocumented Albanian women.The fight against crime makes great strides in Italy. The police of Arcevia, in the... more
The Italian President of the Republic signed the security decree that criminalize undocumented immigrants, but sends to the premier and ministers a letter expressing his "concerns and worries" for a law of heterogeneous standards, lacking systemacy and of dubious consistency with the general principles of criminal law. Translated from the President educate expressions that means that this law is stupid, unenforceable, and if really applied would violates Article 10 of the Constitution and various international conventions that Italy has signed.The Italian President of the Republic signed the security decree that criminalize... more
