WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE ITALY - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, FAI, Umanita Nova #31: Sicily: G7 in the shadow of war (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 From September 21st to 29th, the city of Syracuse was the venue for the

G7 Agriculture and Fisheries and the Expo Divinazione. ---- The longest
G7 in history, with a significant political return for the fascist
minister Francesco Lollobrigida. ---- A kermesse that served to
demonstrate the political strength of Fratelli d'Italia, a party that in
Syracuse sent a clear message to its government allies: in Sicily, as in
Italy, the fascists in government are a highly respectable political
force and without them at the head of the country, we won't get
anywhere. ---- An event that focused entirely on the location of
Ortigia, transformed into an open-air exhibition space where
touristification and gentrification have long since rewritten the city
space.

The fascists really needed this great event in the South. Minister
Lollobrigida was the main protagonist worthily supported by her boss
Giorgia Meloni, the president of the council of ministers, as well as
the first female and fascist head of government, in the face of the
beautiful souls who babble so much about a Republic founded on the
Resistance.

Then, as we know, the fascists care about culture and in honor of Greek
classicism they named the Expo "Divination", with an esoteric massacre
flavor of Ordinovist memory.

The comrades do not miss anything: beautiful locations, with references
to a past and a present that does not pass, in the darkness of History.

I forgot: the fascists like young people. Minister Lollobrigida
announces the institution of the agricultural civil service, at 5 euros
an hour, a new and punctual state gangmaster system, beautiful images
and exploitation.

In all this, a Sicily destroyed by drought, devastated by cementation,
killed by pollution, which wages war every day from the bases of
Sigonella and Niscemi.

The beautiful images do not hide a reality made of exploitation and
submission, desired by a transversal island ruling class that makes the
plundering of Sicily its historical mission.

In these days of appearing to devastate, some realities have brought a
different narrative to the streets such as the initiative promoted by
Alleanza Sociale per la Sovranità Alimentare which in the parish of
Bosco Minniti (also in Syracuse) organized a "counter Forum" entitled
Fuori dal G7 on the days of 26-27-28, where food sovereignty and how
states and multinationals destroy agriculture were discussed.

Continuing with the mobilizations, the days promoted by Contro G7
Agricoltura e pesca, there were press conferences and in-depth seminars
on the days of 25 and 26; on September 27th a social forum where the
situation in Sicily was discussed and on the 28th a procession that
approached Ortigia, which saw the participation of 300 people, including
Cobas, No Muos, No Ponte, Rebeldi, la Fas, Avs, PCI, USB and others (I
apologize if I don't mention them all).

Now comes the best part: we must give continuity, knowing that the
environmental issue in Sicily is of primary importance, and that the
present of the war conditions us all and unspeakable duties and tasks
await us.
