September 5, 1938, the day was passed the first of the "racial laws" in Italy (for those interested I will leave some more news on this decree in the comments) .
Yes this is the date I am referring to and unfortunately still today, but particularly today, it seems to me far too close.
I imagine the easy criticism that might make it the opening words of my post: Fascism is past, the present situation is completely otherwise, my position is just a typical left-wing populist ...
In fact I will not answer to these objections because I feel silly as much as those who move, I'll just take a look at some recent events and to suggest connections with the past because if it is true that you must enter each event in its historical context without So to force it out of its chronological limits, but it is also true that we think that the past is completely unknown means reducing history to a simple fable, ignoring the essential lessons, just as it means not to understand that certain dynamics can reproduce in a similar way in different times when they are still the underlying causes.
The facts are really known, but I must talk about it because my silence would result in a repulsive silent assent and would make me feel complicit.
I am not referring here to single episodes of violence against the Roma, in itself deplorable, but the even more serious justification that they seem to receive under the proposed new law.
Have not you realize what is discriminatory and unconstitutional to consider the aggravating hiding? If all are equal before the law, how is it possible for the same offense, there are two weights and two measures, a more lenient when it is committed by an Italian citizen and higher if one is to perpetrate an illegal immigrant? Is it not this a form of discrimination and the worst? What's more, after the crime of illegal immigration, and Ronde Lega now it turns out the proposed Maroni to fingerprint all Roma! abberrante and terrifying, can not but bring to mind what happened in Italy at other times ominous ... To be honest I can not even comment despite my initial intention was to, on the other hand, these facts are eloquent enough in itself for those who have a minimum of brain ... well, at least this time, I just take note of the situation and to express my disagreement and my disgust.
