Alitalia, Campania and the national pride

Talvolta mi chiedo se non ci meritiamo veramente il debito pubblico, se non siamo consapevoli del fatto che pretendiamo di considerarci europei, mentre ci avviciniamo sempre più a standard del quarto mondo. Per non smentire la pessima fama di cui giustamente godiamo come italiani, pensiamo solo agli aspetti superficiali e meramente formali. Durante un mandato Craxi, the Italian government announced that it had exceeded the UK in the ranking of most industrialized countries: it was simply the result of the change in some coefficients, determined unilaterally. Margaret Thatcher once argued that it was made costume of Italians do not respect the rules .

heatedly debated in recent days that the Spain there has or has not passed, but some things are happening much more indicative. From fourteen years (sic!) Activity collection and disposal in Campania was commissioner and the region is drowning under tons of garbage . Many have blamed on the Camorra , alluding to which they have earned handsome profits to inefficiency. It is clear that context, the statement itself, but someone should do the courtesy to explain it. I understand that both the local prefect in charge of all activity and hence of the contracts for collection and smaltimanto: we can not even trust the Prefect? I understand that in other Italian regions and there are powerful criminal organizations operate, how come only in Campania can not handle the garbage? Now that the Germany has offered to dispose of all waste from Campania, some estimates claim that there still would be cheaper than disposal in Italy!

Over the last few years I have visited some places: Nairobi (yes, the African city!) Is a garden compared to Naples, Calcutta (yes, the Indian city of thirteen million souls, where Mother Teresa began to collect the dying in the street!) the garbage is collected by hand Castes and the city is very clean , well Soweto (yes, the very famous South West Township South Africa!) does not have the problem of waste. While no one acts, all make reference to wider responsibilities, to give assistance and some feel entitled to utter grandiose nonsense, such as reducing the amount of waste at source and to push and invest (or ask more money) in the collection!

Another significant issue is the sale of Alitalia and consequences for the airport of Malpensa . The situation is the result of the many aspects of state capitalism perverse Italian. First the golden share (abolished in countries truly free as UK), which enabled the government to control private company in name only, the second - not least - the very fact that a State should or should not have a national airline: what's the point? The State should simply provide air links to those places in the country who do not have enough traffic to ensure a return to a private company, but to do this is not necessary to a national company. Another problem is the indecipherable ' HUB of Mapensa, without falling into excesses "anti-Roman" by some politicians, it is true that in of Lombardy produces 20 percent of GDP National would be simple common sense to the national hub of the airport of Lombardy. Now, however, findings that are communicated to Malpensa Alitalia lost 200 million euro per year (sic!) Mainly due to the cost of internal connecting flights (ie the value added of any HUB, compared to other airports) . The news appeared in newspapers a couple of days, no one has confirmed or denied, and the citizens continue to read about the hypothetical overtaking English, on the winter transfer market, with Sarkozy's romantic vacations and other amenities.

The starting point is that you can never know exactly what the situation, the single most perverse is the unions that protect minorities against the majority of members and politicians who think only in terms of constituencies. Everything is permitted however dall'ignavia arrogance and superficiality of the Italian people which is proud to be such when the football team back in Napoli Serie A and when she sees around the world the flag painted on the rudders tail of an airline that has produced decades of debt.

In U.S. airlines are not state when, in 1991, failed the Pan American ( the first company in the world to make oceanic flight regular!) nobody felt hurt national pride.

Self-respect, honor, love for their homeland, should consist first of all in the determination not to spend more than we can afford and not to give up what constitutes the true dignity. Can we afford two HUB? I think not. We can afford to send our garbage abroad? I do not think that is honorable. We can afford an airline ever in the past? I find it shameful. It really gives the way to deregulation (such as Reagan, not the usual fiction italics): the market will solve the problems, as always. The State is not the solution, the state is the problem .

Bravo Gordon, but we need another Lord Kitchener

's just a little play on words regarding the current British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and General Charles Gordon , massacred by the bloodthirsty dervishes the Mahdi in Khartoum in 1885. The uprising was finally quelled the dervishes at the battle of Omdurman 1898, won by the expeditionary force of Lord Kitchener , best known for winning the Anglo-Boer War.

Starting from ' independence in 1956, have been established in Sudan especially dictatorial Islamic governments, but also communists. in 1964 were driven from the country all Western missionaries and to date there have been with extraordinary regularity civil wars, ethnic cleansing, famine, massacres . The condition of Christians in the region of Darfur has been known for years, but it seems that no Western power has the will to stop the massacres. The China, after trying unsuccessfully in the past years, to establish a socialist regime, is now the first partner commerciale del Sudan, in barba a qualsiasi cosiderazione etica. La situazione economica e sociale sudanese è il solito paradosso dell' Africa post - coloniale: grandissime ricchezze nel sottosuolo e straordinaria miseria della popolazione.

L'attuale dittatore del Sudan - ove vige la Sharia - è Omar Hassan Hamad al Beshir , il quale è stato ricevuto con tutti gli onori alla conferenza UE - Africa che si è tenuta a Lisbona all'inizio di dicembre. con eguali onori è stato ricevuto un'altro degli ultimi mostri africani: Robert Mugabe .

the tragic history of Rhodesia I have already written, I must point out here as the European media have bothered to highlight the joint nature of the meeting in Lisbon and subsequent agreements. The only European who has proven to be a man worthy was the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who did not attend the conference due to the presence of Mugabe. Both Brown and the ' Archbishop of York, John Sentam , recalled how Mugabe is directly responsible for the appalling living conditions of that country which at the time the white was considered the garden of southern Africa. In the former Rhodesia years are not the most important Repeated human rights and people are dying of hunger. Javier Solana, Manuel Barroso and the Prime Ministers of Germany, Holland , Sweden and Denmark while participating in the meeting, condemned the criminal policies of Mugabe. I may be wrong, but I have not read similar positions by the Italian government . For good measure, supporters of the present South African dictator in Lisbon, attacked and beat up the peaceful demonstrators who marched in support of human rights in Africa.

The measure is full for years: we're talking about thousands of people are killed and no one remove from power governments that are only ex-military coup or former terrorists. The first to rebel against having their own African leaders should be moderate: they should be not to accept those monsters at his side. The other culprits are the politicians and the media continental Europeans: they should not accept to deal with common criminals rose to power simply because all'ignavia European and violence. E 'Before the days of Elizabeth that Britain is the beacon of' West : first against obscurantism English, then against the autocracy of the kings, against the criminally insane French Revolution, against the project's despotic Napoleon , reactionaries Central Powers against fascism , Nazism and communism . It 'clear, however, as now no longer enough: we need a jolt of responsibility and common sense on the part of the whole' Europe, the first battle to be fought is cultural, we can not and we must continue to despise our values \u200b\u200band to be equated with those who have chosen violence as a system of government. We can no longer listen to that anti-Western utter stupidity like the fact that the problem of Africa are the riches of the subsoil: the problem of Africa are Africans.
