"NO TO RACISM"
APPEAL FOR NATIONAL EXHIBITION OF THE PD October 25.
(posted by Marcella Lucidi) on Italy

blows the wind of racism.
The ethnic prejudice, social resentment, hatred for the other, they slowly spread in the country with alarming intensity in some regions.
E 'place for social, demographic, cultural, very complex, such as the need to consider and act-as-possible. But there are also political factors, especially the irresponsible choice of parties and representatives of institutional investment on xenophobia and fear to gain electoral consensus more easily.
The results are there for all to see. And what we see is not a random combination of episodes of intolerance, as the government argues.
E ', however, an impressive and consistent sequence of acts of violence, committed on the people to the diversity of their skin, religion, culture. They are acts that take place in a specific cultural, linguistic, symbolic, long fed by messages of hostility, enmity, division. To tear the country rather than join it. To produce new marginality, among young people and children, from the school.
The Italian Republic had never experienced racism in these shapes and sizes. The Democratic Party rejects this degeneration of a society, that it offends the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Constitution of the Republic. Therefore intends to work with all his energies to racism is recognized, fought and defeated, in line with the great civilizations that have choices everywhere marked the history of democratic parties.
why we urge people who want to take this as a priority commitment to reaffirm the foundations of democracy in a multiethnic and multicultural society, to participate in big rally behind the banner of the October 25 which will bring the message "NO TO RACISM". A big, heartfelt "no" which will also be a large, felt "for". For equality, for the reception, a civil security and free from the poison of racial hatred.
