First Last March more than 300 thousand people have rallied across Italy to say no to racism Bossi-Fini law, the security package, the CIE and to ensure a more just and multicultural society. In many cities, Italian and migrant workers chose to strike together, united by the realization that the institutionalized racism (in defiance of our Constitution as well as international law and European legislation), policies of exclusion, exploitation of labor violations rights are pieces of a single strategy of repression, from the weakest and most defenseless, aspires to strike and impose all the precariousness of life as a horizon.
and Italian Migrants have argued in this way an idea to strike other than the dominant one (not a tool protest in the hands of unions, but a constitutional right, an inalienable and individual) have shown that you can join and take the initiative from below in response to blackmail. They have in fact exceeded the conflict between natives and foreigners, and ushered in a season of commitment and struggle, rejection of the blackmail and exploitation, passed by the strike of the round in Campania to the occupations of the crane and the tower in Brescia and Milan, in Pomigliano Mirafiori, the protests by students and the metalworkers' strike marked by demonstrations against racism in Bologna, Florence, Trieste and in many other Italian cities.
The Italian situation today is different from that of a year ago and perhaps even more serious. There was another Rosarno, but the effects of the crisis feel more and more and they primarily affect migrants in thousands at risk of losing their residence permit, permission to thousands who have not are referred to as criminals and sentenced illegal workers run by foremen. For any and all live under the blackmail of the daily institutional racism. In this context, the Bossi-Fini law (in particular its claim to wire a residence permit to the employment contract with the "residence contract") is more than ever as a law inadequate and hypocritical, but that does not fight the clandestine creating, promoting and exploiting illegal labor migrants and placing a condition of constant blackmail. For more than 50 thousand immigrants, victims of the amnesty scam, was not yet found a solution. Meanwhile, the government has returned to run the lottery of the decree that flows - as everyone knows - it works mostly disguised amnesty. The issue of citizenship remains unresolved and hundreds of young people born or raised in Italy continue to be subject to a law that does not recognize their rights or citizenship. The revolutions of the square that are passing through North Africa indicate an aspiration to freedom of migration that has one of its forms and that is leading to an expected increase of landings (never interrupted for more) on our shores: in front of the Italian answer to all this is proving to be inadequate and hypocritical: it evokes again a non-existent "state of emergency" only to respect the right of asylum and avoid accommodate people who are arriving on our shores. This tells us that while many problems without celebrating the wave of democracy in North Africa, migration unite the two shores of the Mediterranean: in the spirit of the Charter of Migrants recently approved to Gorée (Senegal), we know that the problem of Italian democracy is in Tunis, as well as that of Tunisia is also in Rome or Paris. While the struggle for democracy in North Africa, we can not accept the racist logic of the 'let's help at home ", because migrants also tell us that you struggle to move and change their living conditions. That's what we do together on March 1.
In this context, migrants are more of a force. For economic reasons, as has been pointed out many times: in fact produce a substantial proportion of GDP (11%), feed the state coffers through taxes and social security contributions, to make up for care work to the structural deficiencies of the Italian welfare. But also social and cultural reasons: they are in fact an active part in the construction of society and different: richer, more diverse, multicultural and able to look to the future. Without them, senza i bambini figli di migranti e coppie miste, l’Italia sarebbe oggi una nazione destinata ad estinguersi. Soprattutto, i migranti sono una forza politica per costruire una società diversa, per non limitarsi a difendere i diritti ma reagire ai ricatti conquistandone di nuovi.
Per questo lanciamo un appello per costruire il prossimo primo marzo una nuova grande giornata di sciopero e mobilitazione per i migranti e con i migranti. Ma, lo sottoliniamo con forza, non si tratta di uno sciopero etnico: non è mai esistita e non esiste l’idea di uno sciopero etnico. In diversi territori sono già attivi percorsi che comprendono scioperi, presidi e manifestazioni. Crediamo che lo strumento dello sciopero sia il modo più strong to carry on this struggle together against Italian immigrants and blackmail, racism, exploitation and ask
- the repeal of Bossi-Fini law, in particular, the link between employment contract and permit residence ("residence contract");
- to combat illegal employment and exploitation of migrant workers: calling for enforcement and the extension of Article 18 of the Consolidated immigration as protection for all workers who report being were forced to the irregularity of work;
- the repeal of the crime of illegal immigration and the security package that measures are already outlawed because in contrast with the European directive on returns;
- the abolition of the permit to stay in the points and the activation of measures, including financial, to ensure the right to learn Italian and study;
- the closure of the CIE;
- a regularization that is a real solution and respectful of human rights and dignity for the victims of the amnesty scam;
- the transition from the concept of jus sanguinis to jus soli as a pivotal for recognition of citizenship and a law guaranteeing the exercise of full citizenship to those born and raised in Italy;
- recognition of the right to choose where to live and establish their residence right all the more crucial at a time like we are going through in which we are all potential migrants;
- an organic law and adequate for the protection of refugees and asylum seekers;
We ask everyone to be leaders and to support the mobilization of migrants next March 1. The unions are not asking for lip service, but to be active at all levels to provide practical support for workers, migrants and Italians together, decide to abstain from work in factories, cooperatives, and in all places of work more or less formal. All such This day is aimed to ensure the right to strike for the rights of all people, to build together a diverse and multicultural rejecting any complicity with regulatory measures that legalize exploitation, racism, prejudice and fear.
March 1 will see a mobilization as widespread as possible, to allow maximum participation, both in case of strikes, both in the case of principals and events.
