EMERGENCY ITALY
13th March 2010, 2:00 pm
Richmond Terrace - 10 Downing Street
SW1 A2AA - London
On March 5th Silvio Berlusconi's cabinet passed a decree aimed at reinstating candidates in two key regional elections after irregularities in presenting their candidacies.
The decree that has been widely reported in the media as UNCOSTITUTIONAL, since it conflicts with law number 400/1988 concerning the normative power of the government and underlining the impossibility for the government to exceed article number 72 of the Italian Constitution.
What we are witnessing is the DEATH of the ITALIAN DEMOCRACY.
Following these recent events, protests arose from the opposition parties and from a great number of citizens calling for protest to Italians in Italy and abroad.
The Italians in the UK, both civil and political groups, have thus decided to come together in this moment of democratic emergency to coordinate a demonstration to express their utter concern and fierce dissent against a regime consistently violating the Italian Constitution and basic democratic rules.
For all the reasons abovementioned we are GATHERING TO DEMONSTRATE on Saturday 13th of March at Richmond Terrace (opposite 10, Downing Street) against the latest abuse of power performed by the Italian government and to raise awareness for the escalating creation of a form of dictatorship in Italy.
We ask PM Gordon Brown, and the entire British society, to be vigilant before any other authoritarian regime could establish in modern Europe again.
A clear message to be sent: there is an Italy with a face, name and voice that rejects such forms of illegality and manipulation and that is ready to protest whenever is necessary.
There is a DIFFERENT and UNITED Italy, which will not surrender to the arrogance of the current political class.
THIS IS ITALY RESISTING!
