The May 10 in Assisi National Meeting participants "for a Europe of Peace", issued and published a statement recent rejections on illegal and inhumane that is making the Italian government ... publicly endorse this statement, but I would also add something, though perhaps, as always, our thoughts will be lost in the many writings of the virtual world, also that of peace.
Recent events or position papers and Italian World Cup in general, to repel the flow of human migration, they come from very far. They are grown in a humus ideological and practical, to whom, unarmed, we are seeing for some time. Today the movement to recover after this long mental atrophy and action, is certainly more difficult for everyone. Today, we always add new justifications for self-convince us that it is safest ammuragliare possible "refuge cities". In addition to the current crisis, however, there are other factors, probably more subtle.
Intuitions such as peace, human rights, have suffered huge generation gap. For too long these issues have been dealt with by the noble and respectable patriarchs, without cultivating a dialogue with the new generations. We have always managed these issues from an ideological point of view, but today, the ideology is no longer the magic word and the methods of assessment or the first inspiration of action of individuals and society. So, at present, issues such as peace, human rights are orphans, and even the latest social dramas, such as ecological and environmental migration or the postmodern, add to this list. Let's talk about problems without people who want them in another way. So orphans or children of elderly couples never before sunset.
Politicians in fact, are appropriate for these issues, without worrying about the minds and the minds of individuals and especially the younger generation. This is very sad and it makes the dream more and more difficult and slow. Human rights have become stumbling block of the policy or not, but what had to be: his inspiration. The same can be said of the peace and every subtle forms of life in favor of this common humanity.
Today, the world economic crisis, is certainly one of the pillars of the safest, to justify the seclusion of nations, but the problem though, is still very far away. Each round of government-indeed, at least in Italy - has helped to raise the walls, sometimes appropriating the ideology of the good life, social justice, peace, without creating new political and social players. Human rights, justice, peace and the first migration and the environment today, are puppets in the hands of old and stale ideologies, as well as all too forgetful of its history. We do not know who did these thoughts come loose, without beginning or time, and released them because they belonged to the human than human.
The appeal stems from Assisi, now symbolic universe of peace and justice, but many centuries ago, practical world, grown in real attitudes, but also a way of thinking, seeing the story from a kaleidoscopic sensibility, capable to reverse the flat anthropocentric and religious visions of the time.

The first gesture urgently, as well as the complaint is to return the themes of peace, the balance of human and environmental issues at all. Freeing these alchemical elements of human existence, the discussions of political lobbying on duty and their satellites grupopuscoli social action.
The crux of this drama is once again the appropriation of human rights in the hands of a few. Nowadays there is no question about rights, nowadays you always argues about who is the owner and those who have to manage. What are human rights or rights over natural resources, everything ends around to those who can own and manage. We are killing human creativity because everything revolves around the logic of property, the only possibility of power.
Our states are bad, why are fewer and fewer people manage their lives: everything is done, even the mentality. The urgent need today is not only a correct policy, in solidarity, that is reconstructed around the existential problems of living, the urgency is to clear these issues from the elite ideological party.
How can the city be "city of human rights," if those who govern has spent the last few years to play in a hypothetical power, showing that, in the end the only thing that's interesting: a real erotic of power. The first gesture urgent need is to remove from the minds of people that human rights, peace, etc.. ideologies are espoused by some current or by some parties, and return to these issues' more human. Items needed for the future of a humanity that has proved-for-what luck really is: more and more multiple and complex.
I recall here an extract of the document against racism signed in 2008 by several scientists including the Nobel Prize for Medicine Rita Levi Montalcini.
... Empires are now thanks to this cohabitation of different peoples and cultures, but they are fragmented when it suddenly collapsed. Cosi 'e' happened and happens in countries with civil wars and when, to stem crisis, minorities were taken as scapegoats. Racism and 'suicidal' cause not only affects peoples belonging to different but the same people who practice it. The trend indiscriminate hatred that fuels it, extends to any alteration contagion ideal 'external or extraneous to define more and more' restricted the 'normality'. " It affects those who are "out of line", the "mad", the "poor in spirit", gays and lesbians, poets, artists, writers, alternative, all those who are not approved for human types and standards actually 'allow mankind' to change continuously, and then to live. Any living system is that, in fact, only if and 'ability to change and we humans change with fewer genes and more and more' with the inventions of our "benevolent disordered" brains. (cf. http://www.ildialogo.org)
This text reminds me of the importance and urgency of these issues by displacing any ideological-political context and make them get more and more balls through the maze of human more humane, not only the spirit but also of the body. In the back of our brain cells ... hormonal ...., Probably because, these are we can still heal, while the old and stale ways of doing politics (Even if wrapped in the flag of justice, peace, human rights) no.
The "city of human rights" must be built into hard labor training and education, new human being. Maybe for some of us may be too late, but for future generations grew up in an increasingly global no. We work these issues with them.
Even so, those who are recently arrived , as is written in the document of Assisi, not only has the right to a bowl of soup, and a dormitory, but has the right to think with our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in a different way of life ...
claim not only shelter for the helpless or expelled from their land, but claimed insistently ideological reforms in education, to those who touch tap the power of the moment, given that today in Italy the policy is only a matter of duty ...
to continue testing COMPLETE THE DOCUMENT OF ASSISI
A government without humanity threatens to take away our humanity.
These facts offend us and hurt us!
Who does not recognize the rights of others not even recognize our
"The Italian government's decision to reject the desperate people fleeing war, from torture, starvation and misery hurts us, hurts us and hurts us. Not talking about immigrants but about people, men, women and children. They are afraid, cold and hunger. We are seeking asylum and protection and we reject them without mercy.
As Italians, we feel shame. No government can afford to be less than the duties of solidarity, acceptance and defense of human rights that are enshrined in our Constitution and in international law of human rights. No government can take away anyone's right to food, health, education, decent work.
These facts offend us and hurt us. Just as we feel offended and hurt by all laws, such provisions those statements, those poisonous words in our country who are fueling a climate of violence, discrimination, bigotry, intolerance, racism, division and insecurity.
A government without humanity threatens to take away our humanity. We can not accept it. We will all be poorer without humanity, insecure and helpless. Only by recognizing the other rights that we are granted to us, we can live better.
Thus, while some build walls and dig trenches between us and the rest of the world, we commit ourselves to open our cities and local communities, to make them more welcoming and hospitable to all, who was born there and who arrived recently. The cities in which we live are the cities of human rights. City beautiful, pleasant, where life is good because you help each other. "
