WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY News Journal Update - (en) Italy, Libertarian Initiative - Pordenone[migrants]: HE WHO DOES DESPICABLE IS DESPICABLE (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 There are dozens of migrants, asylum seekers, sleeping on the street in

Pordenone. ---- Thousands of km, effort, suffering, police mistreatment
at the borders, now in the open in a city where, if those who govern it,
cannot chase them away, they want them invisible. ---- They have no
first reception although it should be guaranteed to them by all those
"beautiful" European and Italian rules that regulate a universal right.
---- That is, the usual waste paper in the hands of the good hearts of
the administrators who, according to conscience (read "electoral
interests"), will decide whether to fulfill or hinder that "legality"
which they normally appeal against dissidents, poor people and
minorities but which , when it concerns them, they can "interpret" or
even neglect.

Thus in Pordenone in recent days GEA S.p.A., called by the local police
on orders from the political leaders, had the task of "cleaning
everything up", that is, confiscating the backpacks and personal bags of
asylum seekers sleeping on the street, treating them as if they were waste.
The municipal administration itself had already ordered the seizure of
the few basic necessities of asylum seekers years ago, during the first
wave of migrants, but then it limited itself to taking them to the
municipal warehouse, giving the volunteers who assist the migrants the
opportunity to recover them.
Last Saturday, three places where these people tried to sleep were
cleared out, isolated places which often have the worst hygienic and
health conditions.
But the only decorum that interests the mayor and his clique is
certainly not that of this "uncomfortable" humanity but that of his
beloved concrete and the urban "furnishings" of a city increasingly
stripped of trees, plants and solidarity.
A migrant's backpack or plastic bag contains his entire life: a few
changes of clothes, a pair of shoes, some medicines perhaps purchased by
volunteers or a few personal effects, that is, the only link with what
he was. Treating these migrants, these people, as plague victims and
getting rid of their bags takes us back to times not too distant when
these methods preceded and announced brutal and totalitarian consequences.
On the other hand, it is today, in this time and here close to us, that
thousands of migrants die drowned at sea, a Mediterranean which is a
boundless cemetery whose responsibilities lie primarily with European
governments.
And we cannot fail to consider that when ordinary people, workers or
simple soldiers, stopping to think and feel, obey an order without
asking any questions, they become accomplices of this crazy mechanism
and their "Lord Yes" was well told in what Hannah Arendt called "the
banality of evil."

In a Pordenone with thousands of vacant houses and apartments, thinking
that we cannot give worthy hospitality to those who need a place to rest
and live is unacceptable.
And it is certainly not by using hangars or warehouses, the infamous
hubs where these migrants are piled up, in the province and miles away
with the sole ridiculous intention of hiding the dust under the carpet,
that this infamy can be resolved or erased.
The welcome must be dignified and widespread.
We have never had any doubts about the usefulness or otherwise of laws:
they always serve those who are already guaranteed their economic and
political privileges, with the aim of limiting the freedom and rights of
those who are excluded from them.
They call it regulation because in formal democracies those rights and
freedoms must be "formally" guaranteed, but in reality their exercise is
limited as much as possible, leaving the various articles and clauses
attached to the laws (the techno-bureaucracy) the concrete possibility
of neutralizing rights and freedoms to the point of overturning the very
meaning of those "liberal and democratic" laws that the West boasts so
much about.
Breaking down borders: social justice and freedom of movement!
