Smoking Weed With Ulcer

Corriere di Arezzo - 10/24/2009

Case Ceccherelli, writes Corriere one of the signatories of the petition. From Barcelona to Arezzo with a demand for truth.

in November will come from Barcelona in Arezzo to deliver the signatures against the front of the plate which celebrates the classic aviator Ceccherelli Victorinus, who died in the war with Spain. Meanwhile, send a contribution to the Courier in the debate, more and more composite, which opened on our columns. * * * We have qualified stirred / red troublemakers, the heirs of the ideology responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of people (when you take the trouble to count the victims of colonialism, capitalism, religion, I wonder), wolves clothing in sheep. Beasts that do not respect the dead, their memory ... Well, this is really funny, coming from people who praise the generosity of Generalissimo Franco, one of the most sinister of recent European history, systematically by people who look the other way when the children of their ideology deface, desecrate Jewish cemeteries, the same infamous controversy that power to deny the right of citizens of other religions to make their dead under the honors their culture. The same in Spain found any obstacle to the hundreds of mass graves of the mass shootings carried out by the Franco regime in the long and fierce post-war period to give the families of the victims of retaliation for the possibility of burying the remains with a name, to meet with their love, not with plaques and medals. We may be wolves, but we will not tarnish the memory of anyone, we are of another pasta. And we are not interested quest'aviatore discuss whether he went to Spain as a volunteer and under an assumed name for a spirit of adventure or love of country (sentiment that heats when it is accompanied by warriors and imperial dreams never leads to anything good). We're not talking about the headstone in a cemetery, a place to worship the dead. But the atrium of a high school, a place of education alive. In a high school should be taught the truth, or at least that part of truth which we have access. However, that single allusion to a fall in Spain, gold medal, is a manipulation of reality, of what really happened. The award of a gold medal is indeed associated ideally to the achievement of heroic or otherwise deserving. E. .. die as a volunteer under a false name by attacking another country, framed in a shipment that openly violates international law (attack without a declaration of war), those of war (the first bombing raids against civilian populations) and the same agreements signed by its principals (Commission of non-intervention) can be regarded as heroic deeds or otherwise worthwhile? You can honor the deeds of such ferocity that, after three days of bombing on the civilian population, Franco, imposing the same end, lest you awaken the slumbering conscience of the French and English? It is obvious that the reference to the legality or the compliance or the word is not an issue of weight in the eyes of a certain part of Italy, always ready to pull off, according to his convenience, the law of the strongest or the smartest. But we do not turn to this part of the country or city, but one that knows the difference or want to be able to distinguish between actions justified or just and unjust actions openly. And illegal. By the way: I understand perfectly the position of those who wish to maintain the plate at the same time Ceccherelli and refuses to be placed any element that serves to contextualize historically inevitable, and since then it would be repeated and embarrassing that point - from the public the question: What are you doing in a high school dedicated an inscription to a member of the Air Legionary? The maintenance of this dedication to a fallen into a war of aggression, in addition to contradicting the spirit of the Italian constitution (which condemns the war as a way to resolve conflicts between peoples), responds to a set of values \u200b\u200bthat we hoped finally passed. One of the most chilling things about this strange controversy that I had to read was a statement of the young promoter contropetizione: "In all wars people die." A sentence to tax the "other" deaths, whether innocent or assaulted, while defending a sword is the 'honor and memory of "their" fallen. Yes, in war there are always innocent victims. And these are our dead, respect for which we demand, we Promoters this request, antibellicisti who firmly believe that should never be enhanced, even indirectly, events such as the Nazi-fascist intervention in Spain. Us: Italian, Catalan, English, professors, professionals, workers, students, ordinary people who live in Barcelona we got to know first-hand, understand the importance of those events, to hear the voices of victims telling of those facts. Episodes are the consequences of which still persist because the necessary justice was not done. Justice, not revenge. The crimes of the Franco regime - which continued for 40 years - and his accomplices Germans and Italians were never brought to trial. Only Germany has formally asked for forgiveness the bombing of Guernika, in a symbolic gesture that can only honor the country and its politicians, that Parliament voted unanimously in that resolution. We hope that our administrators and the authorities are able to take inspiration from that example and not let themselves be influenced by the rhetoric of the falsified history of the most reactionary circles of society Arezzo. If we want to create a real European Unit must start from shared memory, the international justice that will not allow the limitation of war crimes, education of young generations. The plaque for the aviator Ceccarelli, that his family and even his comrades have the right to meet privately as they see fit, subject respect for the Constitution, located in the lobby of the Lyceum is the most painful denial of the minimum bases of fraternal coexistence among the peoples of Europe and of the values \u200b\u200bthat underpin
