LETTERA AL DIRETTORE DE "LA VOCE D'ITALIA", MAURO BAFILE
Caro Mauro,
vorrei raccogliere la tua riflessione sulla discussione che si è aperta sulle affermazioni fatte dal Presidente Fini in un incontro patrocinato dalle ACLI, non tanto per la chiamata di correo da te fatta nei confronti degli eletti della Circoscrizione Estero (v. Inform n. 162 del September 7, http://www.mclink.it/com/inform/art/09n16209.htm ed) As for the objective importance of the issues underlying the controversy over them has grown. So
President Fini, in his personal commitment to support the simplification of procedures for granting citizenship to children born in Italy of immigrants to the same extent of political rights (in particular the voting site) is going to let comparison with the children of our emigrants who, in his view, in many cases ambirebbero Italian citizenship above all to have the EU passport to use to migrate to other countries.
I have no hesitation in re clear to clear my mind complete agreement with the views expressed on immigrants in Italy and appreciation for the consistency with which it defends its orientation Fini widespread hostility between the major components of his political party. At the same time and with the same clarity I express my opposition to an unjust and improper reference to the descendants of Italians abroad, roughly similar to a minority of people would use that surreptitiously citizenship for achieving other ends. I realize that the comparison used by Mr Fini has been made not to point the finger at the Italians living abroad, but to give strength and motivation that is leading the uphill battle, not least those considerations are wrong per gli equivoci che possono ingenerare e per il fatto che provengono dalla terza carica della Repubblica, a cui si richiede ponderazione ed equilibrio.
Chi, come me, vive in America Latina, dove il problema delle richieste di cittadinanza si presenta con i numeri e i risvolti a tutti noti, spesso evocati a sproposito, sa bene che esiste un ritorno diffuso e sincero per un’italianità declinata non solo in termini civili e politici, ma culturali ed etici. E se ci sono molti giovani che non parlano la nostra lingua e conoscono poco il nostro Paese, questo non può rappresentare un motivo di discriminazione nei loro confronti, ma semmai di riflessione critica sui limiti delle nostre politiche culturali all’estero, che questo governo sta ulteriormente resizing and tragically.
said that, however, I feel that I put his mind at rest and move on to the next step in the increasingly long list of controversies about Italians abroad. Because the problem of citizenship is only the tip of the iceberg that is drifting for years in water less clear, but could not find a convincing landing. I'm talking, of course, the social and cultural transition of a country like ours, that after having met one of the most intense migration in modern history, is experiencing today a different experience of migration, sometimes mystified under the condition of "new mobility" and an uninterrupted flow immigration, which brings at the same time, major economic and social benefits and no less serious problems of civil society. There are three distinct aspects that relate to the future and united Italy: relations with the Italian community abroad, the heirs of the great diaspora of Italians, the effort of recovery and use, albeit in a broader context, also supra, energies and skills of young people who are moving away from the places of origin, as has happened for millions of immigrants, integration into the productive fabric of civil society and migrants who choose Italy as a work room and life. Three profiles, I said, only one problem, whose resolution depend not only on the level of modernization and internationalization that we will be successful in ensuring the country, but also the quality of our democracy. A higher grade values \u200b\u200band the value of memory and gratitude can not be dissociated from that of acceptance and respect, like we Italians abroad have learned in the course of a secular affair.
Migration, therefore, taken together, are carved into the groove deeper history and actuality of our national story and the error greater than one can commit is groped to separate the real processes in which they diverged, or even to contrast the forces that they are generated. That 's what unfortunately is happening in Italy because of the prevalence of the most extremist and xenophobic center of the grid and the way they are instrumentally fed the irrational impulses that develop in the bowels of society, especially in times of crisis like these .
Now, dear Maureen, if you do not want to send messages into the ether with the task of everyone, especially those who make policy, is to assess what forces are able to support this difficult battle, and how we can put together, over and beyond artificial ideological differences. With this in mind I have no doubt that the future of our society and our quality of democracy can be Using only a joint effort and cross, aimed at preventing the drift of intolerance and xenophobia that seems to travel the country and build a cohesive and integrated inside and outside that can confront the international dynamics.
From this point of view, despite significant political differences exist, I have no hesitation in saying that when he finished asking the voting site for immigrants and citizenship for children born in Italy or when Tremaglia to clear his abhorrence of the slaughter of the innocent that is renewed daily in front of our coast and calls for desperate humanity, I feel that their commitment is a goal that must be all the Democrats, even just for all civilized people. I believe, indeed, that in this way, in fact reconcile the two principles that govern the issue of citizenship, jus sanguinis and jus soli, which cease to be abstract legal categories and principles become a living civilization only to protect and develop .
I am sure, dear Mauro, who in these things there is a consensus among us deeply. And since you know the seriousness and the democratic function that "The Voice" has historically done, why not open a debate on these things and in depth on the columns of your own newspaper?
As for me, are ready to give my contribution, even participating directly in any initiatives to advance this idea.In any case, thanks for the encouragement you gave us and good luck for your important work.
