Syndicate: the wind changes, at least in Italy


dear syndicalists

i'm happy to announce that the winds of war are weaker and weaker at least
in my country... so weak the evn the politicians are changing their
sick-minds...
 
yesterday the italian Parliament voted a statement that
forces the government to ask for a UNILATERAL suspension of the
bombardaments, in order to favourish a diplomatic initiative within the UN
Security Council... and the serbian opposition t the Milosevic regime..

in the former debate, the President of the Government, Massimo D'Alema,
said that it was impossible for the Government to ask 
for the unilateral suspension, without a previous decision taken
collectively by all the NATO's members...

but the final statement approved by the majority of the Parliament (with
the support of the Comunist Party and the opposition of the right-wing
coalition) stated clearly that the suspension of the bombings has to come 
BEFORE the eventual convocation of the Security Council.

before the final vote, the government declared to accept the different
position of the Parliament...

this vote marks a real, irreversible passage about the italian 
position as regard the war... if the NATO doesn't accept this proposal, the
government will be forced to declare its inability to proceed on the way of
the peace...  

moreover different voices say that Milosevic has more and more problem to
control the internal opposition to the war... (somebody has any direct or
indirect information about it?)...

and i think that this demonstrate that the people's feelings -- the last
march for peace in Italy was really impressive (about 100.000 people
marching for 28 km) -- are common, beyond the blindness of the respective
King Lear...

with love
