Gianni Mina
die of hunger in the world, thousands of people every hour. But enough of the guest list of VIPs to Billionaire Flavio Briatore because we forget the tragedies of the earth and the topic of conversation is made frivolous and carefree. Why? The Italians are so insensitive? Do not care about the people who are evil? "Italians do not realize how it is now" corrupt "our television system," says Gianni Mina, one of the great names of our TV, has worked for years on the front of the reportage on the Third World. "Public television is flat on the commercial and spread the image of a world made more fake commercials that reality. "Gianni Mina, this afternoon at 17.30, will be the Convention Center Lavarone. Just in the Third World will speak. He calls it Desaparecido to highlight the continent as we speak little and bad. We will show a piece of his interview with Subcomandante Marcos, the leader of the protest in Chiapas. We tell all the terrible things that the media ignore or hide.
Gianni is incapacity or bad faith?
When sometimes spreads the TV images of child soldiers in Sierra Leone, sends the right for a minute, with a rhetorical comment that does not explain why these children struggle with ultra-modern weapons sent by the countries of the North. It does not explain that the war, you do for diamonds, is in fact a war to the committee. The African countries that are at war, are in fact sponsored by European countries that fight through them. We are told that people are belligerent. It is not true. Their instability is not tribal heritage: it is caused by the interests of the nations so-called "civilians."
Result?
The result is always the same. The poor countries will more and more dependent and poorer. And then, when their people come here to ask us a shred of life we \u200b\u200bfeel entitled to drive them away, after being stripped of all their resources.
An example?
Congo. It 'a country full of riches. But he adds, only Belgium, through the General Mining Company. Yet
are also held democratic elections.
When Lumumba was elected democratically, he was immediately assassinated by the economic powers. After several civil wars prevailed Mobutu Sese Seko. And is quick to become the fifth richest man in the world, more than Agnelli and Berlusconi, with all its assets deposited in Switzerland. If you do not explain these things as people understand the anti-globalization demonstrations?
What is the most important thing to understand?
What should share the wealth more fairly. Not only because it is right, but also because it is convenient. E 'self-defense. Social justice guarantees peace. Otherwise within five years invading hordes of hungry people in rich countries. And there will be laws that will prevent it. I was in Mexico and I've seen a million citizens take to the streets, spontaneously, without that they had been summoned by no party to celebrate the Subcomandante Marcos.
In Genoa, there was also violence.
Genoa is one thing became apparent: the parties rely less and less and are overtaken by movements. Violence? You can not say the nonsense that even Cossutta said that he spoke of "connivance with violence." But if there were 72 Catholic associations! Where do you
more evident the violation of human rights?
Everywhere in Africa and Latin America. But I see also in violation of human rights bodies like the World Bank and IMF. Often, their decisions are causing thousands of children died of hunger. Their recipes imposed economic to countries in developing human and environmental disasters are. Frei Betto, one of the souls of the Social Forum of Porto Alegre, said: "I know of no country in the world where life has improved after applying the prescriptions of the World Bank and the IMF." So why continue? Think Argentina. With all the wealth that has to be distributed only 35 million inhabitants, as it is possible that there is all this poverty? He was forced to privatize all privatized and wages have also fallen by 20 percent.
What should make a sincere Democrat to hope that something better?
boycott multinationals that behave worse. Those bananas, to save their crops, spraying with air at low level poisons that cause cancers of the peasants.
Just a boycott?
No. Efforts to help non-governmental organizations. In Italy there are 6 million people working in the voluntary sector. Almost half a million in Lombardy alone passing through a region be selfish. We must learn, read, advertise. Tell what happens in the world. Want an example?
want an example.
Chiapas is the Mexican state that provides 65 percent of energy in the country. Yet in the villages of the Lacandon Jungle there is no light. The Tute Bianche di Padova, yes, precisely those Casarini, have built a turbine in La Spezia and they carried it there, do not say this with such difficulty and such commitment. Now the village has Realidad light. This world is a world in which those who wish can commit.
you this afternoon, present an issue of Latin America?
Where are the writings of the major Latin American authors. All agree in saying one thing: "The world, from the South, is different from what you see from the North. Suffice it to say that what you have is a poor, we are considered rich."
