Italy today: Racial Laws

candlelight | 02.07.2009 20:54 | Anti-racism | World

Italian Senate approves Racial Laws (157 for, 124 against, 3 abstentions). Berlusconi satisfied: "The government and prime minister strongly desired these laws . . .This is a good sign". By virtue of a political decision by a temporary majority this legislation will disfigure Europe and deal a severe setback to human rights worldwide.


Appeal to democratic public opinion and press in Europe

Act swiftly so that the disease ravaging Italy does not spread further

Victims of the discriminatory laws are hundreds of thousands of migrants without work/residence permits (Fines range from 5-10 thousand euros with immediate expulsion).200 Euros to apply for Italian citizenship; 200 euros for a residence permit. Up to 180 days detention in an identification and espulsion centre. 3 years imprisomìnment for renting houses,rooms or business premises to illegal immigrants.
Vigilante groups become legal; clochards to be registered at the Home Office.Writers to be fined and people who force children to beg. Forbidden to insult a public official

From Micromega:

We address European public opinion because these measures transcend national boundaries. These laws dishonour us all.
Europe cannot accept that one of its founding members regresses to primitive levels of social organization, contradicts international law and betrays the very principles upon which the European political union is based.

We are confident that each and every one of you will choose an effective way to demonstrate your opposition. We are calling on all of you who believe in our shared humanity to react.
