Naples, July 12, 2008 Dear
,
is with anger in my body that I am writing this letter from the low of Naples, the Health District in the heart this summer's fire. Mine is a lacerating anger because today is the lie becomes the truth. My lament is so well expressed by a jew believer in Psalm 12
"Just lie to each other is say
mouths full of lies, all
to hide what they plot in the heart. How
reptiles crawl, and the most vile
emerge
is at its peak the dregs. "
When, after Korogocho, I chose to live in Naples, I never thought that I would live the same struggles. I moved to Nairobi from the landfill, next to the slums of Naples Korogocho struggles against landfills and inceneritori.Sono convinced that Naples is just the tip of the iceberg of a problem that overwhelms us tutti.Infatti, if in this world more than six billion human beings lived like we live rich (11% of the world consumes 88% of the planet's resources!) we need four more planets as resources and other four as if to throw our garbage dumps. The poor of Korogocho, living on the landfill, they taught me to recycle everything, re-use everything, to fix everything, sell everything, but especially to live sober.
E 'was a great lesson that helps me today to review the situation of waste in Naples and Campania, the region reduced from twenty to sversatoio national waste tossici.Infatti members of the mafia in collusion with local politicians and Masonic lodges covered, had decided in 1989, the restaurant "La Taverna" Villaricca "to dump toxic waste in Campania.Questo it became increasingly difficult bury our waste in Somalia. Thousands of Tir came from every part of Italy and loads of toxic waste were buried by the mafia in the Triangle of Death (Acerra-Nola-Marigliano), in the Land of the fires (North Naples) and in the countryside of Caserta. These toxic waste "bomb" today, especially infants, with dioxins, nanoparticles that produce tumors, birth defects, leukemia ... ...
Biutiful Cauntri The documentary expresses well what I tell you.
A disaster which we must add the policy now subject to economic powers-finanziari.Infatti this region has been managed since 1994 by 10 Special Commissioners for waste from the various national governments that have followed. (It 's becoming increasingly clear to me, the interweaving of political, economic-financial potentates, Camorra, Masonic lodges and secret services covered!). In 15 years, the special commissioners have spent over two billion euro, to produce seven million tonnes of "eco-bales, which have nothing to echo: as it is waste, wrapped in plastic that can not be either incinerated (the Campania is already an environmental disaster!) or bury because it pollutes groundwater. Much of this eco-bales, stacked outside the town of Giugliano, infest with their leachate those great campaign called "Tavern of the king.
And so we came to disaster! Today Campania has reached the same levels of cancer of the Northeast, but it has factories and lavoro.Noi without factories and unemployed, we are doomed to waste the same sorte.Il Ours is not an ecological disaster, I say rage, but an ecological crime, the result of political decisions that cover huge financial interests. This is demonstrated by the fact that Prodi, a government expired, has signed two ordinances: one that allowed to burn ecoballe Giugliano Acerra incinerator, the 'other place which will allow the Cip 6 (the bill that we pay Enel for renewable energy) to the 3 incinerators in Campania that "turn the shit into gold-like Guido Viale says "How much more shit, the more gold!"
further anger when Berlusconi's government has signed the new decree n.90 waste in Campania. Berlusconi imposes on us, by military force, to build 10 four landfills and incinerators. If the 4 incinerator operation, Campania should import waste from elsewhere to make them funzionare.Da only the Acerra incinerator would burn 800,000 tonnes per year! It 'clear then that we do not want to separate their waste, because if it was done seriously (70%), there would be no need for those inceneritori.E' for 14 years that there is no political will to do the collection. Neapolitans are not who do not want, but the political obstacles that they have to obey the powerful economic and financial sponsors of the incinerators. And all this is imposed by military force prohibiting any dissent or resistance, under penalty of prigione.Le consequences of this decree for the region are devastating. "If all citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law (Article 3 of Constitution), the Campani will be less equal, have less social status-so says a recent appeal to MPs Campani What is described as "toxic" elsewhere, even on the basis of Community legislation, in Campania is not, what else is considered "dangerous "here does not will be. The rules of environmental protection and preservation and health control, there will be in place. The police and the judiciary with regard to prosecution of breaches of waste legislation, have fewer powers than in the rest of Italy and the new special courts for their immense expertise and innovation, will not be able to maintain, as happens elsewhere, the Campani's rights. "
Faced with all this, I have a right to be indignant. For me it is an ethical and moral. There must be a priest, as a missionary. If you fight against abortion and euthanasia, I must be in the fight to all this is a major threat to human health from Campania. The decree Berlusconi waste law the health of citizens Campani.
why I went with such outrage in the Acerra incinerator body, to challenge Berlusconi's press conference, held in the heart of the monster, as he calls people. We were few, perhaps a hundred people. (The people of Acerra, after the beating of 29 August 2004 by the police, are terrified and afraid to take the field). We tried to say no to what was our accadendo.Abbiamo flyers distributed to the press: "Democracy has died in Mourning cittadino.La Acerra.Ne give the sad news the president Berlusconi and Undersecretary Bertolaso." At the press conference (no was allowed to participate!) Berlusconi Fibe has apologized to all he has to "immediately" to build the incinerator in Acerra! (remember that the Fibe is on trial today!). A slap on the courts! Bertolaso \u200b\u200bannounced that it had signed the day before the ordinance because it would end with the Fibe work! Then she announced that she was chosen by private treaty, one of three or four Italian and foreign companies, to administer the Italian rifiuti.Quella will almost certainly the A2A (the multi-Brescia and Milan) and the foreign and Veolia, the largest multinational water and the second in the world to waste. Veolia will almost certainly be to eat up the treat, so after the waste is Papper even water Napoli.Che shame! E 'stravittoria of the economic-financial potentates, whose sole purpose is to make money in spite of all of us that we become the new guinea pigs. I am convinced that Campania has now become a prime example of what Naomi Klein in her book Shock Doctrine, called the economy of shock! There, where there is a major emergency economic-financial potentates allowed to do things they could not do under normal circumstances. If it works in Campania, it will be repeated elsewhere. (New Orleans after Katrina teaches!).
And for us to swallow this bitter pill, O 'system will send a thousand volunteers to help to make fools of Naples to separate into a thousand mountain to support the operation and three hundred psychologists oleare this! But at what point did we get in this country!?! I deeply outraged! And I proclaim my solidarity with these people killed! "Father Alex and his brothers" was written in a photograph that appeared in Time (inset of La Repubblica). Yes, I am proud to be in Naples at this time so bad with my brothers (and sisters) of Savignano Irpino, dispossessed of their land sown in November, with my brothers Chiaiano, forced to enter their homes with a pass because under military surveillance.
why, with the committees as waste Alarm toxic, with networks such as Lilliput and with so many groups continue to resist
in Campania. No wonder arrenderemo.Vi to share this anger, this rage against the economic and financial system that kills and kills not only the poor of the South, but also the poor in the heart of the empire. I find comfort in the words of the great resistance against Hitler, the Danish Lutheran pastor, Kaj Munk killed by the Nazis in 1944. "What then is the task of the preacher today? Should I answer: faith, hope and charity. It seems a better answer. But I would rather say: Courage. But no, even this is quite challenging to establish the whole truth ..... Our task today is recklessness .. Why what we lack is certainly not as a Church nor psychology nor letteratura.Quello that we lack is a holy anger. "Lying
Before the bell that rage in this region, we can do is a holy rage. An anger that I see in my fellow citizens, but also in my church. ". The symbols of the Christian Church have always been the lion, the lamb, the dove and the fish always said Kaj Munk-but never the chameleon."
I write this the return of the event held on the streets of Chiaiano, against 'military occupation of cava.Invece to wait for the technical assessment of the suitability of the quarry, Bertolaso \u200b\u200bhas sent the army to occupy it. The people of Chiaiano feels duped, betrayed and abandoned.
not forget us. It 'a matter of life or death for everyone. E 'with so much anger that you write it.
resist!
