On 26-27 June there was a of the biggest initiatives ever Italians - living abroad or not - concerned about the fate of their country, gathered in a sort of general meetings of civic made in Italy. The 'ship' rights', as was renamed the transportation initiative - the century of the ferry line 'Majestic' - hosted discussions, debates, screenings, dances and concerts organized by the temporary tenants of the ship. This abnormal lifeboat has indeed brought together some 500 leading activists, artists, reporters, students, workers, citizens of Italy and the world. The number has expanded considerably once you are in Genoa, where there was a colorful crowd waiting for the crew and escort him to the old port. There has been kicked off the festivities (he played, among others, Toni Carotone), with a full day of debates in 5 squares Genoese to follow the next day. Organized by Italians living in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe initiative has found support from several prominent figures (among them: the Taviani brothers, Sonia Alfano, Riccardo Petrella) and its popularity has spread like wildfire through the network and social networks, so that among the accessions there were those who came from Paris, Brussels, London and even Brazil, as well as a fairly homogeneous representation of almost all Italian regions, among groups of people Viola (the Genova has contributed significantly to the organization of the initiative) and numerous other associations. The loss of rights in Italy the vast theme.
right to mobility. Immigration has been one of the most debated issues and perhaps the most difficult to address. "The risk is to create a 'Fortress Europe', in which you can move freely, but get in is becoming an arduous task to say the least," says Andrew, who gave an overview of recent developments in legislation European Union. The rising xenophobia in Italy, also found at the level of political preferences is a common concern. "We are citizens of the world emigrate ourselves but to those who are in our country are being denied their most fundamental rights." It also raises Another problem, related but opposite: the right to remain in their own country. "I live as a kind of blackmail," said Nadia, a student in London, "although we would stay in Italy, the system clientelistico no merit and that spreads means that young people with ability and initiative but no contacts are found without choices in time to face the world of work and to choose a course of study that gives them real possibilities. " Not surprisingly, many companies were on the boat of Italians living abroad. Numerous associations founded by Italian English as 'AltraItalia - Barcelona', as well as European groups directly linked initiative. Brazil was present mocambos network.
Right to water and land. The water should be a public good: this is the profound conviction that drives the association 'Water Common Good'. "In Italy, however, water is increasingly becoming a business whose profits go to join in the fat pockets of bankers, in a game of Chinese boxes that makes you a headache. "We have collected more than 3 million signatures, and our goal is to reach a quorum in the referendum to be held early next year," said Claudio Jampaglia, journalist and coordinator of the association. In Genoa, also attended numerous associations that deal with defense, the Friends of Beppe Grillo in committees for the protection of parks and opposition to 'great works' whose construction, as well as being dangerous and polluting, does not shine for transparency in the management of contracts and funding.
right to education. The most heartfelt appeal in defense of knowledge comes from the church: "What this government is doing is a mess. Education in Italy is particularly proud of the country, and are dismantled. " The Genoese priest continues his talk with strong statements: "The landing is the most important event of the last 20 years. There is need that these realities are fed into a political project for the next elections. "
Right to information and culture. 'La Rai us' is an association of employees Rai was born in Turin in just two months of existence, has already collected over 5000 signatures in defense of public service information. This item has more strength and significance as the issue is seen by them from the inside. "We see every day cutting tools and saw the gradual massacre of the largest company in the country's cultural, "says Cristina. Almost to demonstrate once again the inability of the national television to reflect the popular movements, 'the Landing' was covered only by the news of the third national network.
Right to legality. seems almost a paradox. The right to have the same rights that are equal to those of all others, is felt in danger. The association 'in Madrid Move another Italy' has recently organized a conference on the mafia and crime issues affecting the English very well themselves. Piero Ricca, famous for having challenged the prime minister and he won a case against him, is also the idea that Europe must act. To a passer-by who yells: "Peter you are unique!", He replied: "I hope not!"
agree with the boys of the People Rich Viola London: "The ship of rights has made us discover the beauty is not unique. What we want is to combine all these items and build a strong network in Italy and abroad, who are fighting for rights and legality, and lead to a true cultural renewal of our country. We are happy to discover that we are not alone in this attempt. " The results, in short, reflect the objective that the organizers of the initiative have been set out: 'We started with an idea, but your contributions have led the debate in different directions, it considerably. This is exactly what we had in charge: the ship wants to be a container for all our voices. " Target hit and sunk.
