DECLARATION OF INTENT AND COMPANY OF THE COMPANIONS OF TUSCANY
SOLIDARITY WORK 'FOR THE FEDERATION OF LEFT:
No leftist Italian class sits more in the national Parliament and the European Parliament. E 'from the late nineteenth century, when was elected the first socialist deputy in the parliament, subject to the fascist era, that this did not happen. The work is devoid of political representation, even on a purely institutional. The forces present in parliament to the opposition of Berlusconi's government say the equidistance between capital and labor as a constitutive feature (PD), or are characterized by a demagogic populism that relies on the "legality" to the resolution of conflicts between business and labor (IDV) . There is a grave risk that Italy finally landing an "Americanization" of the political and social, where social interests and political representation are related to fractions of the bourgeoisie and groups industrial and editorials, in competition, but only within the same social and cultural reference. The market, free competition, private property, the equality between workers and employers: the dominance of capitalism and its sacredness. The same institutional system, through an electoral law with a major prize of majority in the executive and the centralization of the remaining political differences, to the detriment of representative assemblies, is organized in line with the exclusion of work as an independent political subjectivity. The initiative for Marchionne - undemocratic, illiberal and authoritarian, as defined by the general secretary of the CGIL Susanna Camusso - Socially Berlusconi is complementary to that of the political-institutional. The signing of the CISL and UIL transforms them, objectively, unions advertising the position of FIAT. The exclusion of Fiom-CGIL from the factories of the Fiat group, commissioned by Marchionne and supported and defended by CISL and UIL, is a return to the Fifties, the expulsion of communists from the companies and departments of confinement. The Federation consists of the Left, key time of aggregation of anti-capitalist left, you should take in the full gravity of this historical transition. An anti-capitalist left that does not give a general theory of transition to socialism and to the idea of \u200b\u200ban alternative model of society, otherwise they will be subject to the bourgeois culture and sentenced to conflict within the grounds of capitalist society. PRC, PDCI, Socialism, Solidarity and Work 2000, aware of the need to create a new political entity, have given evidence of humility, recognizing that each subject was singularly inappropriate to the needs, and great generosity, giving to the Federation of the Left the task of reversing the division and fragmentation that has caused so much damage to the left and especially the working class. In this unit there is no alternative, or face a miserable fratricidal struggle among what little remains of the traditions of the next class. In the Federation live the finest moments in the history of Italian labor movement, the communist tradition (from the PCI and the new left) and socialist (with particular reference to the analytical skills of Italian capitalism "mature" of the 60s and 70s) anti-fascism and the great struggles of the movements for peace and civil rights. The Federation reaffirms the Left, finally, the centrality of work. The Italian left has indeed gradually transformed it from a strong representative of class interests and the bearer of a proposed alternative society, in a political culture defined by values: a force of opinion is not rooted in class. The workers - and more generally the private and public-employee, failed the mass political parties, have no political power. This creates an imbalance between the social classes that undermines the Constitution of the Republic. To oppose the forefront, in the workplace, the CGIL remained only as a great mass organization. It seems evident that the only major force to combat the destruction of workers' rights, with their crushing, racism and protection of democracy not only as a synthesis of freedom and political rights but also rights to the materials is just the CGIL. But without a political force that represents and organizes the work of the CGIL is the same seal put to the test. The same CGIL, in the absence of a perspective transformation of the company and proper party to represent the interests of class, is too long on the defensive. Trade unions in fact, even when they move to the best of their potential in the absence of a workers' party-inspired socialist and communist, are destined to move up a plan of subordination and resistance. The presence of mass parties in the workplace in fact fueled the spread among workers of a culture and a design approach that enliven the action of trade unions. This is the precondition for a resumption of the offensive by the CGIL. This is for us the strategic importance of the Federation of the Left, that must be made to live without qualms and hesitations as unitary and autonomous political entity. For we who have created work-Solidarity Association, trade unionists and delegates from the CGIL, which consider it essential to put your face directly also on the policy initiative, the Federation deserves our commitment and our passion. Broadening the membership of the proposed policy and ideological solidarity with all those job-and all those who share the profile is our commitment to today.
1. For the defense of the Republican Constitution, born from the anti-fascist resistance
, organized the mass parties and the free expression of class conflict, founded on work.
2. To restore a proportional electoral law without the barrier that restores the centrality of Parliament and makes possible the representation of political forces in the institutional sphere based on the job.
3. For a system of representation of trade unions based on the consensus reached in the vote in municipal solid waste - must be extended to the world of work - and the membership certificate, so that no minority can sign contracts that apply to all workers, establishing also the possibility that in case of disagreement by representative trade unions may be held even in the face of the signing of trade unions representing the majority of workers, a referendum on the understanding eventually signed.
4. For an industrial policy that would prevent the marginalization of Italy within the international division of labor in the knowledge that the national bourgeoisie is totally unable to fulfill this role by giving their earnings to the pension and children's forms of private monopoly sale of assets and skills to the public.
5. For direct state involvement in key industrial sectors, ripubblicizzando also all activities that are of priority to collective interest, such as network enterprises (energy, transport, water, waste, telecommunications) and common goods.
6. For the recapture of a contractual system of specific rules and universal for all workers, which unifies the world of work and working a real wage recovery, including through distribution of a share of productivity growth, such as lead, in a time reasonable, the overall wage bill to 50% of national income, compared to their current share of 40%. There is no defense if the Constitution can not defend the political role of labor, and therefore its power against the power company. Issue of democracy and social issues for us are held each other.
7. A proposal for election to work out a broad consensus, an alliance democratic response to the presence of a right subversive as that represented by the current majority government.
8. For a given constituency also contains program elements qualifying social, like the abolition of regulations that precarious work, destroy the universities and public schools, abolish "de facto" labor law replaced the rule ' arbitration.
9. For an industrial policy that once identified the manufacturing sectors on which to bet you also use the direct state involvement in the property, as in many European countries.
10. For the taxation of pensions and large assets in order to finance both the extension and reform of the social and political development and infrastructure, which indicate a high road of development, to be accompanied by greater investment in education and research.
11. To create a culture of left-wing government, to tell not only what not to do, but what you must and can do and most importantly, what would we do if we can get the necessary consensus to rule. For what should be voted and especially what should be the tangible social benefit for those who want to represent. Organize and not only represent.
12. To open immediately a political offensive against the Left Ecology and Liberty, to build a common platform to fill the programmatic content of the most advanced democratic alliance.
13. To reunification, within the Federation, all municipalities and communities, going beyond the required overcoming the division of the PRC and the PDCI, the two parties that call themselves communist in name and have the hammer and sickle symbol. Process that is not exclusively organizzativistico, but compare the analysis of current capitalism and the history of the communist movement internationally, to indicate which perspective to assume an indication of the Socialism of the XXI century.
Stay with positions in the Federation of Labor Solidarity therefore means of strengthening the elements of the draft class, reinforce a vision of our major policy initiative and our social roots, to understand the centrality of the CGIL in the current social conflict, enhancing initiatives, acting as a privileged interlocutor within the various political forces. For a class force to organize the class, paying particular attention to the precarious workforce and the immigrant - workers, 8 million and 149 thousand seconds, the Istat survey of 2008, a large proportion of the employees of other public-private, 7 million 301 000 2008 Istat always, young atypical workers, most of the false self-employment, migrants, unemployed, most Pensioners': although they represent the majority of the population and what should be the social block of the left are now divided, and the hegemony of 250 000 private entrepreneurs and the wealthy part of 3-4 million self-employed - who face their own Marxism analysis tool, which enhances the thought of Antonio Gramsci, who is neither sectarian nor minority - perhaps radical when necessary - which challenges the SEL on the ground of the unity of the left and the Democratic Party on the floor of the Democratic Alliance against the Right subversive . A force taking over the rejection of war as the resolution of international disputes, as enshrined in the Constitution, but especially so how he lives and has always lived within the labor movement, taking up a battle anti-militarist. He's always on the side of reason: that of working men and women, their dignity, their rights and their organized power.
This is the time of sowing.

Is It Gay To Wear A Jockstrap
Italy divided pending 26s
of Monica VistaLite
CARACAS - Members of associations and groups italovenezolane filogramsciani, retired to the bar and political activists. And yet teachers, businessmen, students and UCV 'jefes de Patrulla' the PSUV. If the people of Italians in Venezuela is extremely diverse, the policy guidelines in view of September 26 are more mixed than ever and, in essence, reflect the reality of bipolar country.
September 26
In the game, this Sunday, there are 165 seats in Parliament, now mostly occupied by pro-Chavez after opposition deputies in 2005, decided not to participate in the elections with the hope to boycott the voting results. Seats will be allocated to the 60% criterion with single-member constituency, 40% with proportional representation.
The election is characterized by the formation of a new political coalition significantly more diverse in it, the 'Mesa de Unidad Democratic'. A block which collects thirty of political, regional and national, united only by the will to oppose President Chavez. The appointment, therefore, as in the past form of a referendum on President Hugo Chavez and the work of the Bolivarian government. Presence strong opposition in Parliament, in fact, prevent the enactment of reforms necessary for the implementation of the 'socialist revolution'.
At stake, then, is the future of the Bolivarian movement and the 'Socialism siglo XXI'.
From Chacao Sarria
In a bar in Chacao, a middle class area of \u200b\u200bCaracas, engaged in a tournament briscolone cried and smoky meet pensioners and Gino Di Virgilio Giancarlo Giunzone. The first, Abruzzo, is in Venezuela for sixty years, the second we landed in '54 Modena, together with those received by 300 000 Italians Pérez Jiménez. Their idea is clear: if, as they believe, will win the legislative elections of 26S, even if slightly, the PSUV, it will not be because of their vote. "Chavez is the new Stalin," says Di Virgilio, "wants to reach an extreme situation: each in every house there are two machine guns but no water. And people are afraid to talk because they fear being a victim of retaliation." Giunzone echoes: "I like democratic socialism, but when, as in Brazil, when it is not like that, dictatorial Leninist venezolano. Communism has never worked in the old Russia, I do not see why he should do that here." It remarked: "It seems Chavez proves that a feeling of revenge on these people, because it is the only one that is never helped him. "
Chacao If you move from the 'barrio' of Sarria, voices change. Julieta meet Tronconi, daughter of a farmer of the old Milan right now engaged in the municipal council of the area and its political activism as 'Jefa de Patrulla'. He goes from house to house to explain how to vote, to discuss all the gains that could be lost if not it supports the government. She is sure of the victory of the PSUV. I also said to his father: "For each item of business opposition like you, there is a group of workers who want to see their rights defended."
- I see around me every day - he says - means the people believe, and will promote the cause because he is grateful to the ongoing process. She opened her eyes, sees progress in education and health, in helping large and small everyday things, freedom and power to the people that we currently enjoy. Think of his children and his grandchildren, he knows that if the process will not continue we will return to the Fourth Republic, the dictatorship that in many years not only has made a commitment to its people.
Then criticism the campaign "dirty" made by the opposition.
- The neighbors tell me of an opposition that goes in the 'barrios' to offer money for breast implants in exchange for votes - -. complaint All this without presenting a real political project, except to put the spanner in the works for Chavez. In addition, its candidates have several times publicly insulted. And for the Venezolana hatred does not like.
We are in the main road through Sarria. The houses are humble. Behind us a Pdval where to find cheap food and a module for the Barrio Adentro health care free of charge. Julieta kids talking about the "antichavisti middle class that make shopping at Mercal but cover the little bag with a black plastic bag because they are ashamed." Then we show the basketball court, explains the work done by the community to divert young people from the vortex of drugs and crime, to make the 'barrio' safe, to give play areas for children.
- In front of the 'Commander' I see people excited, weeping women moved before the eyes of a sincere person who truly loves his people and gave him what he never had. But Chavez is neither perfect nor omnipotent. A good place for the whole country could only think about God! Precisely for this is responsibility to the people for the achievements and failures. The people can not just criticize, he must organize and act in the first person to make that work.
Even activist Ilaria Tameni, from home Community Radio 'Negro Primero' in Sarria, is convinced of the importance of an active role of the people
-process - he explains - despite the mistakes as a process that makes human consciousness has given to citizens that revolution is made by the officials but the people themselves, the social groups, collectives. Despite the errors, adelante! - Says he - like never before to support today's 'legislator pueblo'.
Five lost years
"I will vote the opposition because I am a convinced democrat and this has become an undemocratic country." Tina Di Battista, President of the Abruzzo and Molise in Venezuela, has no doubts: "Not only people with an education, but everyone should go and vote, thinking about what was and what was lost." Talk about insecurity, the escalation of violence across different social classes, read the complaint "that run counter to democratic principles that we grew up."
- The constant attacks on private property leading to the dissolution of the productive part of the country - he says - and prevent the plans of life, forcing our children to seek new horizons beyond the borders.
Di Baptist critical choice made by the opposition in 2005, when it came to elections in an attempt to delegitimize the results of the vote and called for the formation of a legislative assembly balanced, a real center of political debate. A landslide victory by the part of one of the sides involved, according to her, burn the possibility of a balance of forces required.
- The meeting must be uniform, plural, with a balance sufficient because the laws are the result of a calm discussion. Abstention decided in 2005 was a big mistake in paying the consequences today - decreed -. The presence of An overwhelming majority in fact has eluded all possibility of debate leading to approval of 120 unconstitutional laws which the people had said 'no' in a referendum, because it implied an absolute abuse of power.
Five years lost, then. But not only for the opposition. Far from the positions of Di Battista, Tameni regrets that "in recent years have not been approved more radical necessary (for the rights of sessodiversi for the legalization of abortion) and has not touched the penal code that has preserved its Internal articles unconstitutional and therefore null and void, but they are there, a constant threat against women. "
The perfect Asemblea nacional
"I never would vote in opposition because I want to continue the revolutionary process - explains Martin Levi, computer thirty -. I hope in a parliament composed of a large majority, so that it locks' s function of government. " But then he adds: "At the same time I was assured that plurality and therefore falls within the NA of the opposition so that, through constructive criticism so far thin, constantly pushing the government to act in the best way, acting and action control pressing and stop exposing a scandal at the dictatorship that does not exist. "
Even Favuzzi Carla Diaz, a student Central University of Caracas, has clear ideas about his idea of \u200b\u200bParliament. Judged as "immature" the choice of the opposition to step aside in the last elections, is hoping today in an "Assembly representing both sides equally, that everyone feels represented on it." Then declaring they would vote for the opposition drawn from the disarmament plan because, he explains, "that insecurity is one of the issues that most concern me today."
Mass media
"There are 19 000 deaths murdered each year, companies were nationalized in red, have lost thousands of jobs work, have been closed 34 radio stations and television, have been given away 61 billion dollars. "Pedro Paolucci, vice president of the National Civil Latin American in Abruzzo (Ancla) does not seem to have doubts about his vote. News and figures travel in Venezuela, inform, misinform, contradict each other. And the media are a crucial political tool. Some speak of a "media terrorism" in an international perspective and who has denounced a statement dictatorship imposed by the government. And every idea reflects a political position very clear.
- Unfortunately I think the opposition will take hold because it rests on a powerful mass media and made a good campaign using not only words but also images, invisibilizzando the fact that the revolution is a popular process - says Tameni -. So today the opposition who watch too much television does not realize that they want to sell off the country to the United States and to safeguard the economic interests of the lucky few.
The members of the Circolo Antonio Gramsci in Caracas are some of the bad influence of media on Venezolana.
- The people vote because the opposition is uninformed because of the distortions of the media - say -. He is afraid that taking off his house, that the schools 'cubanizzino' their children.
then stated:
- Of course there is also opposition people in bad faith. Controllers are the old monopoly banking, food. Mendoza are the old, the owners of television who also own banks, had left Miami. Those of stock market speculation, scandal Coninvest. People who play dirty and now can no longer get away with it. On the other hand - they explain - there are those who do not forget the benefits they enjoy every day: school supplies and food at affordable prices, free health care. All of this government have had something during the Fourth Republic could never have "
An election Safe
Contact Anthony Mobilia. His family left Naples and arrived in Venezuela when he was just ten months. E 'convinced of the victory of the PSUV, hopefully even a 80 per cent of the seats. "I sell machinery and business travel throughout Venezuela. When I watch you arrive in a village at the same scene: a 'master' antichavista and a squadron of workers 'red'" he explains. But it is not surprising:
- Socialism is a right way even if full of holes and pins. A lot of people do not support came here with the third grade, he made money, but remained ignorant. Do not know how to interpret Marx, does not know everything that the left did. He takes the board and does not know that this is the daughter of the great battles of the left. For this reason - he says - I am voting for Chavez because he says everything that I've always said, first of the vital importance of education. Before him, Venezuela, in this field, it was worse in the third world ...
Furniture tells of how in the past, the voting centers, assisting in fraud of any kind and is sure of the safety system in this Sunday's vote will count 17 million and a half Venezolana. Also contacted all the other Italians believe in the security of the voting system that even Levi joked, "is certainly safer than the Italians al'estero. With him, Fabio Avolio, professor of Italian, which compares the voting and the counting manual pencil Italians with "modern and secure techniques to vote" taken by Venezuela, which allow you to have the result already a few hours after polls closed.
Also regarding the post-election scenario, the italovenezolani feel safe and are not afraid of particular disorders. But some doubt remains. If Tameni feared "violent acts, destabilizing and terrorist, as has already happened in the past" by the opposition, Giunzone us that "Chavez has armed civilians, while his opponents than demonstrating peacefully in the street."

A 'Calle de diversion' to recover

This explosive mix is \u200b\u200b'Calle de diversion', an innovative project Passannate Pasquale and Raphael in Rome Marciano won the Smart Future Minds Award.
CARACAS - Energy Mix sparkling children to the memory of the great, add the 'malandros' rediscover that good and cover with the fantasy of a sociologist Italian and a Venezuelan architect. This explosive mix is \u200b\u200b'Calle de diversion', an innovative project Passannate Pasquale and Raphael in Rome Marciano won the Smart Future Minds Award.
the basic idea of \u200b\u200bthe two founders of the LPU, Liga de Partida Urbana, there are simple colored playgrounds to play 'trompe', 'de Béisbol chapitas', 'pelota de goma'. One way to take over the public space, to transform structures 'formal' living through concrete streets in the traditional street games, the hub of an 'informal city' where the energies of adults and children.
Passannate Marciano and worked in the International Think Tank in Caracas, which is dedicated to "interdisciplinary work with communities in informal space" as he told the Voice. On the streets of the suburbs of the capital, observed traces of temporary spaces of the game: the marks of a ball, crates of beer used for a game of dominoes. They realized that the very humble and more marginal areas were those with the most popular public spaces. All we had to meet the specific and spontaneous moments in a design, process urbanism 'imposed from above' in a living space, an 'informal city' built by the people themselves on the basis of their social behavior and their needs.
- We have designed playgrounds in the streets - said Passannate - to foster the take over the urban space and socialization among the members of the community outside the parameters socially imposed. Not only beyond the physical structure of the road, cement and buildings, but also beyond the rules imposed by the city. Our aim is to avoid frustrating the sale of a life confined to work by stimulating childhood freedom and self-determination. And claim the identity of the pedestrian, not as someone who goes on the road, but as one who in the street 'does' his life.
If the people in general are not part of the physical construction of space and identity, a vital part of the project is now the active participation of a community that organizes itself, which interacts with the environment that has grown and will grow. In 'City of Tomorrow', sostenibilile and viable Passannate Marciano and then identify two key elements: the construction of public space through design self and its relationship with memory and imagination of the neighborhood. Here, therefore, that in a 'calle de diversion' cut in the 'barrio' happy parents take turns to take their children away from the trap crime or violent video games and engulfing, enthusiastic children who show the best places to draw, grandparents telling ancient games, even 'malandros' that bar the cars and motorcycles to allow traffic to Marco and Passannate to draw on the ground.
- After a few months of our intervention - the Italian sociologist explained in an interview during the competition - we're back and we discovered that people had independently organized leagues. 'Calle de diversion' had become part of their lives.
The first people to benefit from the project are certainly Lpa children.
- What we all have in common cities in the world - says the brand - and the reduction of space truly public. And I'm the youngest who suffer most. We are giving way to color and fun with a project that everyone can trace: individuals, groups, institutions.
Then he travels in his mind.
- If I think about my childhood I remember we played especially outside the home, street or to the pitch. The list of games is endless. 'Pelota de goma', 'Demeter', 'pared', besides the typical basketball and soccer. Played with 'jugo de cuartico'.
And the children of more affluent areas?
- The only difference between the games A child coming from a diverse and one of the most humble is a brand of football and the environment - says Marco -. The remainder of the game is the same. Children, unlike adults, do not differ by social class but build their own language according to the game. Only with time become contaminated by prejudices, worries, injuries.
Passannate remarked:
- The game, in its collective and social reality, has created mankind. Humanity is born playing. If you think about a community that gives the rules, you immediately think of a community that plays.
With the first prize in the Smart Future Award, Marciano and Passannate won € 10 000, which will reverse in 'Calle de diversion' and the next projects LPU. From the 'barrios' of Caracas will move to Europe, the gypsy quarter of Can Tunis to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith the idea to get to Marseille and Berlin. As for Italy, and Marco Passannate threw his eye over Livorno, Naples and Palermo, good examples of design space and a symbol of vitality that comes from the road, but today are at the bottom of the rankings in term of living . And appeals.
- We encourage all interested parties to contact us. We are currently knocking on all doors to ensure that the project continues and develops more and more.

Expropriations the city, a hot topic and awe Italians
Monica VistaLite
CARACAS - In the first report of the Observatory of the Rights of private property in Venezuela, coordinated by the researcher Felipe Benites, the Chávez government has made 762 expropriations in the period 2005-2009: 23 in 2005, 42 in 2006, 127 in 2007, 196 in 2008 3,374 in 2009. Expropriation and nationalization are legal in Italy. Under Italian expropriation is regulated by Presidential Decree 8 June 2001, No. 327, bearing the "Consolidated laws and regulations relating to expropriation for public use. On the basis of the legislation are expropriated all property and rights to such property, in order to perform public works or public utilities.
War expropriations

But this time to make the "crime" as many call it, were not the red line of the government or PDVSA, the official owner of the land that he could claim it, but the Mayor of copeiano Lagunillas, Edwin Pirela.
CARACAS - It was announced the decree of public utility and social interest the 'Italian Center venezolano' in Ciudad Ojeda, in short, has been expropriated. But this time to make the "crime" as many call it, were not the red line of the government or PDVSA, the official owner of the land that he could claim it, but the Mayor of copeiano Lagunillas, Edwin Pirela.
According to the mayor, reached by telephone from the 'Voice', "some members of the Communal Councils in the area" would have meant to "attack the Club." With the expropriation, designed and implemented on Monday on Tuesday, was in fact prevented the "pro-Chavez" to transform the center in "one of their seats of government which then fail."
- Those of the Executive Directive (of the Civil Code, ed) are all my friends! Decreeing the expropriation saved the Italian Center - said the Mayor.
The mayor has assured that the club is in a state of neglect (unusable kitchen, air conditioning and electrical system malfunctioned, infiltration of rain in the rooms) and that this expropriation will be retrieved to the total benefit of the community, rather than become "branch offices of pro-Chavez." Moreover, he underlined that only eight of the 148 members were on days when the payment of its share.
- Measurement refers to an area of \u200b\u200babout 23 000 square meters - the Mayor said at a news conference -. We will use it for the people of Lagunillas, as a municipal sports complex which will host cultural and social activities.
The words of the First citizen of Lagunillas, however, are not reflected in the statements of the President of the Civil Code of Ciudad Ojeda, according to which the expropriation of the Center is merely a consequence of a 'war' between pro-Chavez and copeiani for the possession of the land located in the 'Urbanización' Tamarea.
- With the invasions of the barracks 'barrio' behind the fence - said Oscar Framiglio - were advancing ever more, had increased crime. On the other hand there was the City, who wanted to own the facilities. So he made up the attack by pro-Chavez and that everything was in pieces, in a state of decline, when in reality the situation is not so serious.
According to the president, the problems that plague the Civ spaces are "minute details", however, resolved: some bathroom that does not work, any room without air conditioning. That, however, never prevented from attending to their compatriots installations.
Budgets on a different matter. The Monthly fee of the Center for Ciudad Ojeda and BSF 25. But only for the pool, were spent in order to survive and BSF 4.000 the Club would need about 12.000 BSF each month. Until last year the payments were active members with 250, and are now less than forty.
- thought to increase the share to address some maintenance costs and maintenance but the partners have stopped paying. They own shares of companies expropriation of the area and their economic situation is uncertain.
As he explained, however, the 'Voice' the president of Federation of Associations italovenezolane, Mariano Palace, the Civil Code of Ciudad Ojeda "presented by three - four years great economic difficulties," he Faiva debts "and not just all 170 members paid dues. In addition, members of the Club "is not attending meetings, the Center had not participated in the Games in Maracaibo, he was not writing for those of Merida and the structure, especially the pool, was" abandoned. " In short, a center in agony, as there are others, but remember that there was a palace, "the group that tried to reactivate it."
Yesterday there was a first meeting between the Mayor Pirela and representatives of the Italian community - including the consul in Maracaibo regent - but was unsuccessful. From the mouths of some fifty people were born different proposals - Common shares give the arrears of the Civ and then invest together in rimordenizzazione structures, allow the Mayor and the possession of the land in exchange for staying with the control of the building - but has not reached a final agreement.
The only lone voice, full of hope, and which ones are the vice president and president of Faiva Comites Maracaibo, Cone Siervo. According to him the meeting was "positive" and the mayor "might change your mind about expropriation." "Ambassador Luigi Maccotta showed availability and may play an important role in the negotiations" with the Italian community is "united in the fight against an action that we can not allow."
Tomorrow, members of the Italian bid will meet to plan and strategy to be presented Monday, a group of only 4 or 5 people, the Mayor Pirela.
According to the newspaper 'Panorama' of Maracaibo, to do with the decree, the 2010-043, the prosecutor was authorized to implement quickly the necessary legal procedures. In addition, the City would have handed the community a plot of land adjoining the Civ to be allocated to housing construction.

Franco de Vita, the pride of the Star of Italian Solidarity
The famous Italian singer venezolano, decorated Commander of the Italian Republic during a ceremony at the Italian Center venezolano, explains what it means to be an immigrant
Monica VistaLite
CARACAS - Footwear classic gold at the foot of the famous singer Franco De Vita, who Thursday was decorated with the Star of Solidarity Political Advisor to the Italian Embassy of Italy, Alberto Pieri. The ceremony, held in the premises of the Italian Center of the Venezuelan Caracas, was attended by numerous members of the community, fans of the artist revealed in a fierce hunt for photographs and autographs.
Councillor Pieri, speaking after the greetings of the President of the Civil Code, Mario Chiavaroli, stressed the value of the Star donated to the neo-Commander De Vita, the most important in terms of prestige and the first in history that the post-war Italian decorated those who had distinguished themselves for their contributions to the reconstruction and now rewards the ambassadors of Italy in the international context, efforts and successes of those who give honor to the country of origin.
- Franco de Vita - Pieri said - he is a member of First Instance of an Italy prodigal genius and resources. It has more than 25 million records sold and 1,500 concerts in 50 countries worldwide. It is said that ours is a 'nation of poets, saints and sailors' - said the diplomat - now I would also add to these singers and musicians. An artist
divided between Italy, Spain and Venezuela, where he now lives. A son of immigrants who spent his childhood in the Peninsula - where he lived from 3 to 13 years - and then living as an emigrant returning to Venezuela in that it gave birth. Adolescence in the 'No man's land' which are the banks of the Italian schools abroad, such as A. Codazzi Caracas, where he studied.
- When I returned to Latin America I had to learn English, I had no friends. I was a stranger in my land. The same goes for when I go back to Italy: places and people are no longer the same. Once you leave your country - decreed De Vita - you'll be forever foreign.
Everything changes, of course.
- I remember an Italy 'country', the games down the road, soccer with friends. A land alive. Today - regrets the singer, originally from the skin, Salerno - everything is more modern and more off, more tired.
and Venezuela?
- It is a political fact - says De Vita - but years ago people lived better. I feel that this paradise earth is deteriorating. Criminality, insecurity ... in Italy and unfortunately is the same.
good thing, however, was born: a consciousness stimulated by some of his songs, among them 'Extranjero'.
- Years ago, being Italian, and migrants, it was a shame. The parents tried to hide their children because the Italian were not discriminated against, not taught the language of their homeland. But today people are proud to be Italian and second, the third generation carries with pride abroad the Italian flag.
The singer, who scored with his notes of the music scene throughout Latin America with more than fifteen albums and songs composed by his colleague Ricky Martin, among others, warmly thanked for the recognition received, but after a few contacts with the public and the time devoted to the press, like a star has left the Civ soon abandoned his fans at the buffet table.

Lesbliche LGBT, gay and trans: between hope and discrimination - May 2009
CARACAS - On Sunday we celebrated the World Day against homophobia, and transphobia lesbofobia. The LGBT community, but not limited to, took to the streets to commemorate this May 17, 1990, the day the World Health Organization (WHO) officially removed homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses.
"We have to conquer space with dignity, without forcing anyone. It 's a war without weapons but can not afford to lose the spaces losers, "says Elena Hernaìz serene and resolute, president of the Foundation Reflejos.
Although, not surprisingly, the statistics on the LGBT community (lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual) are almost absent, according to the latest data available on 17% of the population is homosexual, while one in 2000 is transsexual. Recognizing this segment of the citizens in recent years more and more countries have drawn up rules on the rights of sessodiversi and, at least at the regulatory level, have acted to protect this fact. Sweden knocked down a wall historic legalizing homosexual unions (Argentina will be the first Latin American country to do so) and adoption for same-sex couples (in March, a Brazilian judge granted the adoption of twins to a homosexual couple). Just in recent months, Venezuelan National Assembly is discussing an article that, among other things, would allow the "unions of cohabitation."
Despite this social advancement, in many countries continues to severely punish sexual diversity with sentences ranging from jail, lashes and death. The absurdity is so strong that it also discriminates in the discrimination itself: in many countries - Singapore, India, Uganda, Burma, Jamaica, Kenya, among others - is legal but not female homosexuality than male.
In our two lands separated from the ocean, homosexuals should not suffer these outrages, but at the same time, a category not considered legally, often victims of verbal and physical violence at the hands of the large group of homophobia in society or hidden within the ranks of police, of health professionals, clergy. Last March the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights has denounced the continued escalation of crime and hate speech against gays and lesbians.
also working at the exclusion is more than alive: a few days ago, near Peru has legislated against gay people, which is now prohibited from entering the police, Italy, and very often the parenting groups do not accept gay or lesbian as a teacher for their children. It is feared that homosexuality can 'teach' or 'infected', and anyway can not 'set a good example'.
"Clearly, sexual diversity is not accepted. There is respect but do not agree - says Elena -. They are good infidels and sadistic, not gays and lesbians. " Points out as the companion of Helen, " homosexuals the scapegoat of promiscuity."
Despite the difficulties, the representative of the Foundation Reflejos brings a lot of hope in itself. "Some years ago the situation was much worse. Today the world is opening up the doors slowly, driven by an increasing number of people coming out of the closet and fight at the institutional level. But the path must be to achieve synergy between Law and Society . The first has a legally binding agreement in the second to press because they modify the rules. This is the time. If we do not act now, we do not recognize anymore. "
educate, train and inform. This line of work for a business that means consistent language and visibility.
"Until now, many activists have alleged in a television with fictitious names or the hidden face - regrets Elena -. and some associations are ghettos in their struggle. Instead, we fight for gay, lesbian, the transgender, transsexuals, the bisexual, the hermaphrodite. Without Borders. Why what we are fighting for is respect and recognition of human rights that we are entitled as citizens. We want to educate about what unites us, rather than focus on what differentiates us. "
In this vein, the Foundation is committed Reflejos today in a radio program (the first in Venezuela on the theme LGBT), a web page ( http://www.fundacionreflejosdevenezuela.com/ ) and in four projects. The first, "Soy Mujer y point," is directed at lesbians and transsexuals considered only as a woman, and nothing more while the second, "Trans ... pasemos las barreras", deals with ideological barriers, social, legal and individual impeding the path of transsexuals and trangender. Then there's "Nuevos Modelos de Familia" dedicated to families composed of parents or children sessodiversi and finally "a Hagamos hecho de nuestro Derecho", for all those human rights that are not yet a reality for a significant fringe of citizens.
"What is lacking - Elena insists - is education. I once gave a talk about homosexuality without talking about sex and all were amazed. 'How is it possible?' I asked. They do not understand that it is a problem of human and civil rights, not sex. Unfortunately, even today, when we talk about homosexuality immediately think of orgies, promiscuity, sexual degeneration and morbidity. means that until recently on TV could not deal with LGBT issues before eleven at night, in what was considered pornography. This fruit of ignorance, rather than help, affects our image. "
The lack of contact with the "different" can be seen clearly in the statements of the Italian-Venezuelan on the issue of sexual diversity.
Some, especially young people, stressing the equality of all persons and the prohibition laid down by law, all forms of discrimination. They speak of homosexuality "normal sexuality and emotional" and criticized his "stripping of any aspect sentimental and loving."
Others speak of "psychological illness", "unnatural act", "degeneration" declare the need for the "outpouring homosexuals" are expressed "indoors, in private, not public" in order "not to affect modesty of ordinary people ". These ideas then generate a widespread feeling that spreads and regenerates. As one interviewee tells us: "I too am annoyed to see homosexual acts in the street. This is because I am the son of the conditioning society that raised me. But I find the strength to rebel against this plagiarism. "
"We're not used to seeing a kiss all the men, while the sexuality of women appears every day on TV," says a young Italian. Listening to other opinions, it seems that actually female homosexuality, described as "glamorous" and "elegant", is more accepted than male, but considered a "rough and violent practice" that "undermines the manly man's role in society." Obviously, as we are told, " men is not enough to feel part of the human race. We need to create subsets within which to register .
at the idea of \u200b\u200ba homosexual child, no respondent appears to be quiet. Even those who accept sexual diversity is concerned grimaces and marginalization. Or worse. This is because almost everyone has witnessed firsthand episodes of verbal and physical violence against sessodiversi.
Apparently, there is still much work to do. Obstacles are those who try to cure homosexuality with electroshock and group therapy, in those who react with a laugh, with a fist or with the increasingly popular 'antitrans patrols' in those who fear for the sacrament of marriage,' institution of the family and the divine.
Fortunately many associations are mobilizing in an increasingly urgent to ensure that this segregation has a deadline. To ensure that the papers can not be read more articles like the one, dated April 6, 2009, that headline "Dad, I'm gay! The father throws him out, the priest wants to exorcise. "
A chat with the Foundation Reflejos and a survey among Italians on the topic of sexual diversity. "We fight for gay, lesbian, the transgender, transsexuals, the bisexual, the hermaphrodite. Without Borders. Because what we are fighting for is respect and recognition of human rights that we are entitled as citizens."

Fortunately many associations are mobilizing in an increasingly urgent to ensure that this segregation has a deadline. To ensure that the papers can not be read more articles like the one, dated April 6, 2009, that headline "Dad, I'm gay! The father throws him out, the priest wants to exorcise. "

Funeral Thank You Notes To Pastor
E 'Italian origins of the first trans TV Venezolana - Interview
Monica VistaLite
CARACAS - Giannina Cadenas I opened the door, a girl of Italian descent, a beautiful and elegant. He smiles and looks very busy. "I'm preparing two new projects television, "he explains while looking at the mirror behind me a while to mend 'hair.
Giannina has artificial fingernails and breasts. Not surprising for a young woman from the small screen in Latin America. But unlike all the other girls on TV, she has a penis that does not wish for now.
"I am a pioneer - he says with satisfaction -. They are the first transgender to conduct a television program in Venezuela, "The sexual Brújula. Remain in the history of my country and this fills me with pride. "
Giannina knows he is lucky. He has a good job, a family that has accepted its "sessodiversità" and a boyfriend for seven years. E 'an example of how the word "trans" is not necessarily unhealthy or an icon synonymous with "prostitute."
"My parents did not expect this from me, were not prepared. But with the help of a psychologist, have been able to support me in everything. If they had reacted differently, if I had been rejected or abandoned, a person would become vulnerable and weak. I'd be over the street, I would have abandoned all principles and values \u200b\u200bthat I believe. "
Here, then, the voice of someone who has done it: echo to the voiceless. "We are human beings, as all. But the mere fact of being ourselves, the community often overwhelms us and condemn us. Do you feel alone, unacceptable, depressed. Lose yourself in the security, self-esteem. And so, in a moment, you can fall into drug addiction. If you add to this the fact that the path doctor for the process of transit is very expensive and for us it is very difficult to find a job - he adds - you understand why many transsexuals and transgender people working on the sidewalks. When in fact we, as ordinary people who we are, do any work. "
Giannina not wrong. For, unfortunately, a transsexual at the counter of a bank or supermarket would be a novelty. Much more convenient to think of the cross street, or in a club Streap.
With its irreverent program, devoted to sexuality in all its forms, Giannina fought against the "high rates of discrimination that still hang over the lives of those who falls outside the bounds of heterosexist dominant society." He fought to "eliminate the cross carried by all those who, for a living, are forced to walk down the street in a suit and tie and inside they feel unhappy."
the base of the sterile widespread tolerance in this historic moment in respect of sexual diversity, "far from the true social acceptance," according to Jeannie there is a profound ignorance and a great difficulty to talk about their sexuality.
"We need to reinvent education, strengthen. I'm sick of people, especially to confirm the legend of the 'envelope' of the cross, he asks me what size my penis. We must make it clear that being transgender is not a disease but a simple condition of separation between soul and body, between biological sex and psychological. " Giannina is resolute in its determination: "We must eliminate sexual and gender diversity from the morbid blanket around her and transforms it into something negative and dirty in sex, when they cover issues relevant psychological and emotional. must explain what the difference between a transsexual and a transgenero explain the course of transit from a medical point of view, to understand that a man attracted to a transsexual is not gay. This man seeks in fact the female figure. It should also clarify the distance between anosessualità and homosexuality. The people - still the leader - must have a clear overview of all emotional and sexual orientation, 360 degrees, and for that we need to talk and show that we exist. Here, not on another planet. People believe that because the world is configured in a certain way, there can be variations. Yet here we are, on display, like so many in history. "
There is a lot to fight for. The human journey, a sessodiverso, it is often difficult and full of suffering. From the earliest years of life: "When you're small and the clothes that you bring the games that they give you do not like - said Giannina -. Already five years to realize that external reality is not what you have in your little head, in your little world. And you are forced to follow a road for the mere fact of having a penis. "
Growing up, things become even more difficult: "As a teenager you are in a tragic limbo and wonder who you are. The people around watching you and judge you. 's classmates make fun of you giving homosexual when in fact you know you'll never be gay just because you feel a woman, not a man. "
"And when you finally decide to 'become who you are' - continues Giannina - tremble with fear. Fear the reaction of family and friends, not like after an operation issues, themes for your health issues to stay under the knife, issues at the thought of living the rest of your life as a segregated and discriminated against, unacceptable, only. Because of all the homophobic and transphobic, victims of an unconscious mechanism that leads them to cover their backs in front of the new they do not know what frightens and attracts them. They are afraid of being touched by the weakness of the flesh and in our culture is something quite negative. "
Especially in a country like Venezuela, governed by the laws of beauty, the difficulties are particularly acute for transgender women. As he points out Giannina, "if a transsexual male often enough to cut their hair and take a particular posture to feel at ease, not to give too much attention, and then feel more accepted, female transsexuals are not particularly attractive or suffer aggrazziate terribly: they are the most abused category at every level. In the end - regrets - that's the beauty that is approved, the aesthetically pleasing. "
In general, for transsexuals remain intact sessodiversità qualms about confessing his family and friends, the unstoppable verbal and physical violence because of transphobia, and the widespread practice of 'confine' the transsexual partner or in a sphere transgenero because of illegal immigration, as he explains Giannina, "the other is afraid to appear in public, so even if you want a stable relationship, not lean."
But fortunately our society is in transit: young people no longer have too much difficulty accepting their differences, some countries such as Spain, Colombia and Chile have begun to recognize the possibility to change the name on the documents, the trans community is increasingly visible and press all over the world to see their rights respected citizens.
be recognized as citizens with full rights and voting is essential to ensure that not only the current form of society is an obstacle. Even the law of the State, in fact, may constitute a significant impediment to the daily life of a transsexual or transgender. A country which does not recognize your way of life is, in fact, a country that can not accept you in a clinic because your body does not reflect what is written on the documents, a country that legitimizes the chaos when transgenero want to use a powder room or a hospital department to enter into male or female, a country that forces you to tell something absolutely intimate and certify every time you use a passport or credit card.
A country that violates the privacy of a minority for which there are no protective laws.
But the awakening is general and the historical moment is perfect for a fight on all fronts. Of course, as is hoped Giannina, "We need profound union between all civil associations worldwide, who are carrying on their struggle separately when they should merge and fight as a united front."
In the meantime, we wish it to Reuben, who expects a transsexual English twins arrive in September, the result of artificial insemination.

"We tell the international community the humanitarian crisis that is actually living in this region, "added Torres Eder, a resident of the area. Several relatives of the murdered leader

The Macarena farmers are victims of armed conflict since 2003, made more acute with the arrival of 'Plan Colombia' promoted by the United States to launch an alleged war against drug trafficking and organized crime.

Colombia and Venezuela, diplomatic relations broken
Monica VistaLite
CARACAS - "We just have to completely break off diplomatic relations with Colombia." So said President Hugo Chávez after the special session of the OAS yesterday during which the Colombian Ambassador Luis Alfonso Hoyos showed alleged evidence of the presence of guerrillas and paramilitaries in Venezuelan soil. The diplomat has also proposed the establishment of an international commission within thirty days of confirming the existence of armed groups in the territory, rifuitata by the counterparty.
According to the Venezuelan ambassador to the OAS, Roy Chaderton Matos, the evidence presented by the approval of Colombia are "baseless," "confusing and inaccurate." "There is no evidence, there is no evidence, are photographs taken of nowhere and there are many questionable," he said. Same idea, the president of the NA, Cilia Flores, the pictures and video that presented, where you see the guerrillas, "show only an internal problem of Colombia."
Matos then pointed out that many of the areas designated by the Colombian government have already been inspected by Venezuelan officials, which showed that these were never used as fields by foreign forces. This would, according to the diplomat, "fantasias garciamarquianas" that when they come to politics and bilateral relations "create tremendous damage", "false positives, which are part of a proposed military invasion of Venezuela."
According to Vice President of the NA, Dario Vivas, the Colombian government's conduct demonstrates a "bellicose spirit", while "President Chávez has always demonstrated its pacifist vocation, Venezuelan soil in the acceptance of millions of Colombians displaced by the war. More than 4 million Colombians live in peace in Venezuela and do not think they return to their country. "
