Decorah 16 May 17 to restart a new cycle of struggles
In anticipation of the National Pact of Solidarity and Mutual Aid to be held in Riace 24 and May 25, the network reality Calabrian who join the fight met April 26 to CSOA Folder Reggio Calabria, Messina, together with the subjectivity with shared problems and the inability of some lotte.Al beyond reality to participate in the meeting, was a ' opportunity to meet and to discuss the contradictions that expresses our region, more and more strident and confirming a trend in the historical sign of dispossession and degradation, which now seems to become radicalized and final esiti.La in Calabria as extreme periphery Colonial of the 'empire' Europe is now more than ever the subject of action devastating, if not effectively opposed, undermine any definitive ecological balance and social and make life unbearable if even more possible, the conditions of the people who risiedono.Dal Pollino the Straits, the list of complaints of this tormented land you in fact longer and more from terribile.A interminable instrumental and environmental emergency ch and, again, has gone along with the disastrous option incinerators, not eliminate, even chronic, speculation mafia-economic conditions of landfills and abusive.Seguendo the thread of the interests of those who continue to claim that incinerators and emphasize that the waste is a renewable energy source, you soon get power to the appetites of capitalism that wants to impose the among those of largest regasification terminal in Italy and around this a multitude of plants, including biomass, coal and gas turbines, to pollute the air of a region that already exports more than thirty percent of energy prodotta.Ancora, following the plots Company that individually mixed with the waste of electricity and water in the one big business for local public services, fewer public services and even less in truth, we encounter the largest multinational in the field, the French Veolia ia, which were sold off our water resources, as elsewhere in Italy by increasing fares and poor service but in context, here, where they often take a shower is a luxury. Adding to this are where the desertification effect, the most destructive, so-called "climate change", which is right in the Calabria region of Italy exposed. But the new devastation not remove old ones, and with evocative names like Europaradiso recur here speculators in the tourism industry, local, national and international, which continues to consume the criminally territory so as to make unwatchable and inagibile.Fino to arrive, along the same route of concrete, small, large and very large works, that behind mystifying the chimera of "bridge over the Mediterranean" we want to bury alive one of the pillars of the bridge over the Strait, and before that draw you pr oxymoron or a future of endless construction sites, such as the infamous A3, and even worse without solving the problem of how to move from country to country, from coast to coast, or to leave and return to decent conditions of travel and umane.Per Not to mention, finally, ports and free zones, or to Gioia Tauro "flying regional development", as magnified by institutions and large companies in the terrible conditions that are binding neoschiavistiche workers held hostage in a country that pays dearly his hunger employment and well-being ... The scenario that emerges is therefore that of a region from the capital and ordered his government to more monoculture weed, what is called the logistic and means the land to house plants polluting means of transport in transit and ultrafast seasonal tourists in mass land increasingly degraded and devoid of inhabitants, except the few avorant the enslaved, for those who do not emigrate because they do not want or can not be used to die for 'Ndrangheta, nocività.Tutto this repression or for the benefit of the dominant social economic bloc that combines local notables in search of new customers, business variously colluding always looking for funding from embezzlement and mafia capital for reinvestment and multiply through these mega- contracts, with all the corollary of bloody struggles for regional hegemony by force of bombs and conducted mitragliate.Al beyond each analysis political leanings, there's investigations of the judiciary to confirm the history of this complex welding power with the national policy, which collects the consents, and big business, using it as a prop for a savagely plunder and exploit the territory freely popolazione.Per name a few, Italcementi, industrial captain Pesenti, an icon of the cement our national and underdeveloped capitalism, it turns out gangs linked to the plain of Gioia Tauro, as is mirrored in Sicily between the glorious and Concrete Cosa Nostra, to govern the labor contracts and to secure a submissive and sottopagata.Ecco that this welding is renewed today through the wave of the great works, with which the strings of the Italian capital plan to address the acute crisis phase recessive, pumping profits by investing public ... what a surprise! Impregilo, which means Gavio, Benetton, Capitalia, Pesenti and just ... but also the competitor Astaldi the oldest and Ansaldo megacooperative red (???) ... and again and again Belleli De Benedetti, with its LNG terminals and its power, to end the publicly owned energy giants Enel and accompanied Eni.Tutti and competitors of the European multinationals that in the unified strength of the free market may now be too open here to uproot trees and cantieri.Ma not we all gathered to ring the death knell our terra.L 'meeting was mainly an opportunity to take stock of one year of work and lotte.Perché that last year was in bloom all over Italy Pact of Mutual Aid, through a multiplication of fronts of struggle, it is also true that Calabria has seen the rebirth of a regional movement spread not seen since dell'epocale megacentrale fight against coal-Gioia Tauro, a movement that is the beginnings in the years of continuous mobilization against the threat, never really thoughtless and now again in vogue, the Bridge on December 22 Stretto.La manifestation of Gioia Tauro, against all the plant pollutes nts and the defense of common goods, has represented the main square of qualifying this season, with eight thousand people are involved, also a delegation of the presidium of Grottaglie, while at the same time they protested against Crotone megadiscarica and Naples against the new evil plan that envisioned a day waste ... 's South of the struggle for unity of action territoriali.Ma that was also a day which sanctioned the welding between the resistance of the population of the plain and the struggle of the most important realities of the job: the port of Gioia Tauro. We have thus verified as a protest against polluting plants to acquire an instrument of deadly impact as the strike, and among the port adhesion of 80% recorded that day. From that moment we have deepened the ties between these two fights, breaking the isolation that stifled the dockers, criminalizing the intentions of the multinational which operates the port and that they would acquiesce and subjected to thank you for the job given us. But beyond the moments of the square more or less successful, we recognized the need to confront and reflect on the difficulties of daily work in the territories. The practice of self, as a moment of growth of the collective consciousness necessary to build pathways to fight lasting and effective, we measure on our ability to engage and commissioning direct responsibility in the population that resides in these places. In this sense, we wanted to problematize forms of communication with which we relate to civil society, identifying the basis for all this development of the struggle. "We talk as we eat," he said, to summarize the need for communication strategies that are able to overcome the distrust that spontaneous in these contexts is breathed into the talk as "political." Deideologizzare our lexicon is therefore the first step. But ours are not public opinion campaigns el'autorganizzazione not expressed in their convictions but in active combat. For this reason, the problem of communication must be considered in relation to the need to create spaces for socialization in which our message can be translated into practice beyond the suggestions collettiva.Perché exoticized fashionable in radical-chic salons of the metropolis, it is not true that the south of Italy is still the land of the community intact and happy, the true values \u200b\u200band traditions healthy. The South and Calabria in particular is still the land of the countries, but they suffer as a metropolis and most of the pro cess of decay and disintegration that is about to cancel every social vitality. The empty squares and shopping malls are crowded with people engrossed in amassing symbols of consumer welfare in the living rooms. And in pursuit of these needs induced increase debt, reduce services and decays the environment that surrounds our homes, and the frustration grows proportionally to the illusions absorbed by television and prevents us from identifying the real causes of our malaise. So a return to emigration the only escape route for those wishing to achieve the artificial paradises of being metropolitan. The eradication as the goal of this real processo.Riattivare primary socialization practices, regain a sense of common space as a place of being together turns out to be the first conquest, preparatory to the development of a renewed sense of common good as we hope . Being together to decide insieme.A For this purpose, definitively overcome the clichés of the "people of no", to argue, to develop our proposals and particularly disclosed and an immediate and urgent task. In this sense we must clarify the terms of access to decision-making or advisory bodies (county commissions, regional, national ..., EIA, SEA, AIA), from which rely on our expertise, the rationality of our not, the feasibility of alternatives and capitalize on the popular consensus raggiunto.Ma even this is enough, that capitalism as we know, has a markedly "anarchist" and when you need it bypasses both the common sense of science as the constraint of law. The question is not technical but political. It is a matter of power. In view of the assets that would pr ocessi transformation of the territories governed at the discretion only to companies and governments, must oppose popular sovereignty as the only legitimate decision-making body. The self then becomes the strategic perspective of the spatial movements and the political meaning of the last crisis of representation process triggered by these. But this process of constituting a countervailing popular area needs a tactic and strategy, including appropriate milestones through which a stepper increasing share of power decisionale.Questa clear need for roots is even more compelling in light of stage that lies ahead. Beyond the election results, that in this as in all the key questions the opposition between the two sides proved to be a mere formality, it opens a phase of acceleration of the processes of regional planning in these years these have been prepared by Governments of every color, the ad hoc legislative devices (Objective Law, Unlock Central ...) what with the proliferation, approval and launch of the various interventions (central, bridges, highways, Tab), which, according to the plans to update the infrastructure of Confindustria, are essential to restart the cycle of capitalist accumulation. Do not hesitate to compromise nor is the mandate before the elections Montezemolo sent to both candidates Premier and we can be pretty sure that the government will respect the constitution, passing like a steamroller on all local resistance that hinder the plans of their masters. So the need to withstand more strongly HEATERS and prepare for this task, finding more firmly rooted in the social fabric and more effective methods of struggle not to be swept via.S 'then requires an overcoming of mutual aid, which is also necessary but not sufficient to articulate effectively with various strengths in a strategic perspective. To be concrete: if Aprilia is fought against the central gas turbine that Sorgenia De Benedetti would like to build while in Gioia Tauro is preparing the resistance to the implementation megarigassificatore of which belongs to the same company, it makes no sense that the struggles parallel processing and united only by a general bond of solidarity. We need a clear strategy that contents of both the struggles steps with a view to clog the plans of the common enemy. Probably because Sorgenia will no longer have interest, or it will not, to build the gas turbines of April if you can not have low-cost natural gas regasification terminal at Gioia Tauro.In guaranteed with this spirit, we reasoned Statues on the meeting, starting the recognition of a fig tree species of the southern economic and social history that justifies the joint closest possible paths realizzano.Perché struggle that there is a specific way it works in our areas, the lure of employment, which often you want to seduce the people of an area intended to receive one of these monsters. Specifically, in a statistical sense because greater is the economic hardship that makes it attractive financial compensation and compensatory works that meet the aspirations of spasmodic consumer welfare. And specifically, even more, is the inferiority complex that our colonized peoples subjected to the omnipotence of industrial capitalism, even under the media fanfare that c'inculcano saving the vision of "development" and not show us like this, historically, has already taken place in our territories as underdevelopment, complementary and functional at first. Our discomfort is the other side of the well-being of the bands developed. We are the third world within the first mondo.Per we propose that the realities of the southern struggle to attend this national meeting Riace already come to the evening of 23 in the morning so that we can achieve a first assembly south ... We also have to get to this appointment adequately prepared to give a breath at the same program and let us move forward concretely in the sense above indicato.E then we propose that all can meet the realities of fighting in Calabria again in an interim date to address the various issues thematically and articulate them in a systematic view to compare with that of other regions. And we hope that, if you want them & am p; ag rave; accept the invitation to a meeting south, the same face in other regions of the south Italia.Per we propose a discussion that deepens the following areas: * Infrastructure, power consumption land speculation and tourist and construction * Privatization of goods and services * Waste disposal and nuisance * * Ratio of energy Easement workers' struggles and struggles for the defense of the territory * Communication and circulation of struggles
