Because after this rebellion, it will be harder to lie to immigration
Alessandra Sciurbawould be nice to think that the wind is changing. Today it seems almost possible to linger in this hope.
After the first day of hesitation, most of the press, for once, is reflecting honestly on what happened.
They tried, Maroni in his head, to liquidate Rosarno as an orgy of wanton violence, almost a collective madness resulting from the state of secrecy that increasingly in this country, is told as a synonym for crime ingrained.
But no, the courage of those who were protesting forced to scatter at least these days the curtain of lies for years in Italy that accompanies every speech on immigration. Did not hold even for a moment the hypothesis that the problem stems from the failure to apply the hard-line wanted by this government. Even the institutional left, incredibly, had for a time to dare to be real opposition, though still heavy on his shoulders the responsibility for the annihilation of the rights of migrants in this country.
Rosarno showed beyond all discourse possible, that the rebels the one to defend themselves from abuse, from exploitation, racism, not only fair but it is also possible. And this is something that in a country like Italy, many have forgotten, especially in the South, where the resignation is a way of life. Where we accept the unacceptable as if it were a divine punishment.
Shrugged Rosarno also and above all, laid bare all the IPOs of the last crisis in Italy have laws that manage the phenomenon of: laws that are made specifically to foster the maximum possible exploitation of the work force of thousands of men and women breaking down all costs, or de molendo all their rights.
That the Bossi-Fini producing food only and the underground is an objective, banal, just look at the reality. And not because the law is too often evaded, not because there are too many judges that do not apply, said the minister Gelmini interviewed by television half hour.
The Bossi-Fini law produces structurally illegal because it prevents, with calculation, any form of legalization for those who have a WORKPLACE the years, so that makes it impossible, in fact, the activation of input channels. lawfully in the territory. Think for a moment last decree on immigration, when 700,000 applications were submitted for regularization by as many employers that offered a permanent position, the certainty of siting itazione, and even the willingness to pay a ticket for a possible return of their immigrant workers. Of these, only 170,000 applications were received for so determining the shares, thus leaving 530,000 people who could make entry into the law in a situation of forced underground. What logic can ever justify this data? You read these numbers ideological political will to remain in a state of absolute precariousness and then to exploit as many people as possible?
expulsions to Libya also wanted by Maroni could be read in this key.
Who were the people sent back to face torture and violence in the country of Qaddafi? Scapegoats. A few thousand compared to large numbers of migrants arriving in our country with almost all visa and then expire are not renewed. A few thousand, and almost all (and there are estimates of UNHCR to say) war refugees. People who would be entitled to asylum, people who would be entitled to the reception and then it would cost and would not be so easy to turn into mere disposable workforce. Two birds with one stone, these rejections: staging the big show muscle of a State "addresses" the problem of illegal immigration and avoid take over the cost that the presence of refugees inevitably entail. And meanwhile, from borders less spectacularly, the army of force needed to move this country has never ceased to arrive. Even in times of crisis, to pick oranges at 25 € a day and sleep in half the mice the Italians (or at least most of them) do not go there. Let us finally
: not only businesses but also small and large mafias who run most of the seasonal collections on most of the Italian soil could not find a better ally of existing legislation immigration. For years now there's the police raids at the end of the season, to remove the hindrances that owner-operators and foremen do not want to pay their workers. Raids that always blame with migrants who worked in black and almost never with those from the job in black drew his fortune. We lack only the crime of hiding to give the last and most terrible instrument for those who are migrants, such as meat to buy in weight: the threat of denunciation can always "Do not complain. Even if you do not pay, even if you almost beat the living daylights. The law agrees with me because if you go to say something, by the mere fact of not having a residence permit you are the one that will be treated as a criminal. "
Only they, the men who suffer from this for years, could tell it so clearly. We tried long us researchers, activists and anti-racist lay Catholics, members of associations and voluntary, and every time we have been accused of bad faith and ideology, and certainly we did not have the same power and capacity. They
instead, paying a high price, they managed to make their voices heard. With a dignity from which to learn and once again the usual suspects are trying to pass off violence and brutality.
It is normal that the people of Rosarno now be upset. Someone was shot and is not difficult to imagine what kind of people it is, is that you're giving body and soul to the worst racist ranting which, incidentally, are accompanied by declarations of admiration for the politics of the League and the Minister Maroni. But there are many silent that perhaps they are thinking. From a land oppressed and too often silent in the face of blackmail and abuse of power has raised a cry of revolt that speaks a different language, but maybe he has expressed sentiments silenced by many Italians who always live in fear. Too bad that the divide and rule in times like these work so well and the war against the poorest of the poor away the ability to imagine a movement that can really change a gear as the south, But that has its roots in an entire Italian state also led to a compromise with the mob from which you are no longer free.
Now, among the many questions, there remains a pressing most of the others: end up where these thousands of people who rebelled so strongly? The only way to "defend", as stated, was now to intern in the centers of detention centers that television still insist to call centers. Many, probably will be expelled, and the memory will carry that Italy should be ashamed.
What they did, however, will remain. As a new start strong, just, everything that has reshuffled by both clarity.
The strike by migrant workers in Italy as we prepare for next March in France, as well as the Roman event made in support of the rebellion Rosarno truncheons blocked before it could reach the interior ministry, could be then, finally, further steps a new path. Finally again. Adapted from
