INCONTRO ALL'UNIVERSITA' FEDERICO II DI NAPOLI ( Iolanda Stella Corradino)
«Mandate a quel paese quelli che vi dicono che siete il futuro. Non c’è alcun futuro: voi siete l’unico presente. Dovete iniziare a ragionare altrimenti non ci sarà alcun futuro». È lapidario Alex Zanotelli dall’aula 4 dell’università di Napoli, Federico II. Ai giovani presenti in aula Zanotelli rivolge il suo particolare appello: «Bisogna riscoprire il valore di ogni singolo uomo e l’importanza dell’incontro». «Le Università, un tempo, erano il luogo del libero pensiero e del libero dibattito. Ora siete tutti così incastrati nel sistema della società contemporanea che non c’è più spazio per il pensiero, libero o meno che sia».
Con un velo di malinconia (o rabbia?) Alex Zanotelli ricorda gli anni passati a dirigere Nigrizia:«Sono stato direttore di Nigrizia per ben nove anni. Poi sono stato silurato da Andreotti ,Spadolini, Craxi e Piccoli. Premettero sul Vaticano perché venissi messo fuori. Ero scomodo al governo di allora. Lo sono tutti quando si ostinano a dire la verità. Fu allora che decisi di andare in Africa». Così il missionario comboniano ricorda i suoi 12 anni a Nairobi. Racconta la sua ultima notte nel villaggio- baraccopoli di Korogocho: «In un momento di preghiera, prima della partenza, mi dissero: ora, Alex, dovrai convertire la tribù white.
'and' the tribe white-prices rise Alex Father-to be converted. 80% of the Italian population is Catholic is a Catholic but has very little. " There's something for all by the missionary in Naples for several years: "What kind of world we live in Naples? Guys, how do you accept a world so absurd? The Berlin Wall never fell. That was a fake. The real wall is what separates those who did not have. We talk about globalization, but we are in the hands of unbridled neo-liberalism and absolute. 300 or 400 families have in hand the money around the world and govern us. This, for you, is democracy? 20% of the world takes everything for himself. And the others? Half the world's population lives on less than $ 1 a day. Not so the cows. Yes, cows. I do not believe in reincarnation but if there were to ask God to make me born cow: its field with more than $ 5 a day in some parts of the world. " Students, teachers who crowd the courtroom listening to him as if he felt these things for the first time. Perhaps it is really so, because, as pointed out Zanotelli, "These things on TV, in newspapers, do not pass. You do not say. They must not know. "
proceeds to freewheel. And now it's up to the war question. US-Afghanistan war is that it relates if the stigmatizing statements by Rumsfeld (Secretary of Defense United States until last November): "On that occasion Zanotelli-remember-he was asked the meaning of the term" victory. " I remember Rumsfeld responded by claiming that victory was considered the world's ability to accept that "we Americans are free to continue in our way of life." Here it is the lifestyle of 20% of the world. € million spent on the wars, not to mention the dead. Everything to defend the lifestyle of those 20% of the world. "
It concludes with the issue of water. Against privatization on all fronts. Duro. Statistically ready to prevent any attack, "We are on the brink of the precipice. It is not oil but water the true gold of contemporary society. Only 3% of the world's water is drinkable. The 2.75% is used by industrial agriculture. More than a billion of the world's population lacks access to safe drinking water and travel to the remaining 0.30% is all in the hands of the multinationals'
