often ask us why we southerners who do not celebrate the Party of South March 17, and here we get the usual questions and the usual comments like "but then you want the separation like the Northern League, "" But not long for the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies "," you can not put into question the unity of Italy and you expressing your opposition to the March 17 Do you exploit " "But many years have passed and still you complain that you southern and 'all the fault of the Savoy" etc etc ...
We try to put things right and explain it right, once and for all, why not celebrate this day and why to express our disagreement with this day of "celebration" and the homage of President Napolitano to King Vittorio Emanuele II, and especially because we consider this important for South levied
On 17 March 1861 there was the proclamation of the "Kingdom of Italy" which in fact was the annexation of certain territory to the Kingdom of Sardinia , well to note that there was still Rome and the Veneto that were added ca. a decade later, and, above all, there was a new state entity created with the consent of the people but a simple change of name of Savoy it attaches different areas (with undeclared war campaigns and plebiscites scam ...) and calls itself "the United of Italy. " The proof was that King Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia Vittorio Emaniele continued to be called the king of Italy (why not the king of Italy Vittorio Emanuele I?) And that the first Italian parliament was the eighth parliament of Turin, were also extended the Piedmont read the rest of the peninsula (why there was then a federal solution that took account of the differences between the various territories? Maybe because then the South was the poorest parts of the country as and 'today after 150 years of colonization?).
What brought this proclamation in the South?
Ten years of civil war with hundreds of thousands of deaths in the civil war between 1861 and 1870 called "war on brigandage" ("Piedmont and the state 'was a vicious dictatorship that put Italy on fire South and islands, quartered, shot, buried alive poor farmers employed writers who attempted to defame the trademark of bandits "- Antonio Gramsci), the disastrous colonial adventures, fascism and other tragedies like the world wars with enormous casualties. .. what should we celebrate?
And from an economic standpoint?
A wealth of dispossession, destruction the emerging industrial and manufacturing base to support the claim of the Bourbon in the north, a fierce escalation of fees (which were much more 'low in the previous period) and especially Lombrosian the belief that "more than Italy! That' Africa! The Bedouins of a comparison of these peasants are milk and honey! " "Southerners are African, to make a forced Italian bayonets !"... you read the statements of general butchers and war criminals such as Cialdini Governors or lit as flour sent from Turin.
do not understand why a Republic was born in 1946 is to celebrate a monarchy so nefarious, forgetting that even a king Savoy signed laws DISCRIMINATION of the race.
short, the South was reduced to a colony from 1861 and met for the first time in the history of the world the tragedy of emigration bibbliche , a diaspora that even the Jews have experienced in 150 years ... more than 20 million Southern have fled their homes, their affections and their roots to go to the center-north or abroad, the diaspora continues to the present with features and different ways.
It was an honor to be part of a single nation, "the language of arms and heart", having paid for "Brothers of Italy" our blood on the Piave to "liberate" the city as distant Gorizia ... . but I honestly did not think to have the signs as a thank you "does not is dense in Southern or banners in the stadiums of the center-north of the type "Forza Vesuvius! Forza Etna! Earthquake! Cholera. "
We do not want a return to ancient monarchies but 'paradoxical in a country with ministers who said they clean their parts with less noble flag, we think that to threaten" the unification of Italy, " we do not want no war against the rest of the country ... and no separation even more paradoxical that everything and '"Bourbon" is still seen as pure evil and something obscurantist, retrograde and threatening as he pretends to ... not see the flag of Padania (State which is not 'never existed in historical reality) or did not hear the racist slogans gatherings of members of the League and anything not outraged, not 'threatening the unity and national cohesion. "
Yesterday, the Rome Police deny us a demonstration on 17 at the Pantheon, where we have expressly stated that we wanted to organize a protest and dissent, civil, peaceful and democratic way and in full compliance with the laws and the President of this Republic a ... more time, without wishing to do the "usual southern victimhood," we are children of a lesser God? We are Italian Serie B?
We are tired of suffering and we have the right and duty to express our dissent, the article tells us 21 of our Constitution, and then insist with the police ... and Thursday, March 17 with all the Pantheon us to express both civilly and peacefully, so Gandhi would say, our dissent!
with poor memory in this country must finally abandon the myths of the Risorgimento, the first the truth ... if you want to talk about unity and not the lies and fairy tales to De Amicis.
Besides the historical truth, to have a truly united country we need a policy that creates the same opportunities in the North and the South in a word, a policy of justice and of economic rebalancing to reduce rather than accentuate the differences, this that Germany did to the fall of the Berlin Wall for bringing the content (and quality) of life of East Germans to those West ... we have some "slight suspicion" that this is not the goal it 'the right of Berlusconi and Bossi Lumbard it' on the left of Emilia Bersani .... in fact the gap in the last 16 years and 'increased.
When finally a young graduate in Naples or Palermo will have equal merit, equal opportunities to work one of his colleagues in Milan ... when to go by train from Naples to Reggio C. we take the same time to get from Rome to Milan ... when a contractor in the South will have the same opportunity to one of his colleagues in the North, the banks provide loans under the same conditions, infrastructure and services, as well as crime , not hinder ... then yes we can speak of "unity," so far, please Spare us your tales and lies from the Risorgimento "Brothers of Italy".
