WASH YOUR HAND, YOU TOUCHED A NEGRO

In Arezzo, a city in the center of Italy, members of the Northern League distribute soap in the streets for people to wash their hands after touching an immigrant.

The Northern League is a Government party, aims at being the first party in some regions at the next regional elections (it is already in some areas).

Will Berlusconi say anything about this ? will the Church, whose Pope recently received the Northern League leaders say anything ? will the Italian Church still accept the Northern League statements that they are the only real Christian party defending the Christian values ? or will, as it is likely, keep silent in order to obtain more privileges after the elections ?

In 1960, I was 14, I did my first demonstration, against Apartheid in South Africa. My son is mixed blood, so is my grand-child. What should I tell them ? leave Italy before it is too late ?

What the Northern League is doing is no different from what the fascists did with Jews. Will they stop complaining about the past and stand up to defend those who are “different” ?

This is Berlusconi’s Italy. Please, you who may read, help us getting read of fascism. We need your help.
