The manifesto of November 5, 2009
Iaia Vantaggiato
A decision is unacceptable for us Italians, "one of those decisions that make us doubt the good sense of` Europe '. So Silvio Berlusconi - in `announce an imminent action - said the ruling, although not definitive, the court in Strasbourg, which would oblige the` Italy to remove crucifixes from classrooms. Words a little bit strong, especially as delivered by the premier of one of the 27 member country of the Union. But even an unfounded attack on Europe since all `- and Berlusconi can not know - the European Court of Human Rights of Man is not an organism` s EU but an `institution founded in 1954 in the Council of Europe`. The fact is that the controversy turns on the crucifix, yesterday, in a "iperidentitaria 'crucifixion of Europe. As always, the most outspoken is the minister of reforms Umberto Bossi, who called the ruling "bullshit": "L 'Europe - he says - it's good for the economy but also for many other things not because it is remote from the people and does things contrary to what people want. " And it sends it to say, even Defense Minister Ignazio La Russa: "The crucifix? They can die, not to take away while the minister for economic development Claudio Scajola - almost a fine exegete than the other - says: "If Christianity is a nuisance, it means that triumphs again Pilate. " Steps for all steps and for the leader of the PDL in the Senate Maurizio Gasparri, strasicuro that the unit is Europe `s can not be achieved" stifling the rights of the majority in the name of an integration of face. " Gasparri has no doubts: it is time to question the usefulness and validity of the whole bureaucracy of `` the European Union. A device which, however, the court in Strasbourg is not. It is surprising, however, that fooled 'by mistake is the most balanced UDC leader Pier Ferdinando Casini of `. that in fear the risk of a drift fundamentalist anti-EU, said: "This is a secular Europe that leaves no room either to God or religion. And we are instead for a `secular Europe that acknowledges its Christian roots." And "we" are in full election campaign so glad that everyone `s appreciation expressed by the Vatican secretary of state for the choice of the Italian government to appeal against Strasbourg ruling. "Unfortunately, this Europe of the Third Millennium - Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone says leaves us only the pumpkins of Halloween and takes away the dearest symbols." All against, well, except Emma Bonino, who sees the pronouncements of Strasbourg, on the contrary, "a hymn to religiosity"
