The "Cantata" Christmas John coins, precious tradition of high-quality eco


When Oppido that even on their backs, whether overt or creeping, traditions seem to want to sweep every good habit, even religious, as if a new iconoclastic fury had now taken hold even in our part of the most unexpected, we want to trust the words of the great John Conia , a distinguished oppidese of adoption, to find the true essence of Christmas, the size of that rebirth in fact preached peace to this great feast.

Towards this great poet and priest, born in 1752 near Galatro, entered the cathedral chapter of Oppido ripe age, who died in 1839, Oppido, as it did, unfortunately for many of its illustrious sons and disappeared, was never prodigal of memories.

Reread and think today at least these few verses of the great theologian, orator, humanist and venerable abbot also means for us all to find, at least in part, the true size of our local Christmas tradition that stubborn, survives despite everything.

HEALTH: yet another plan for cuts in Calabria and the fate of the hospital Oppido.

endless odyssey, an end - that of our hospital - announced with almost sadistic years, from all over with thousands of ambiguities and contradictions.

this time "for luck" to do this is to Il Sole 24 ore, highly influential national newspaper that in a sober and dry a few days ago, managed to photograph the animal health situation with the Calabrian and clarity that distinguishes it from what would have much to learn all local newspapers, without exception, who continue to publish on health (not only) everything and its opposite.

Here is the article in the Sun 24 hours:

"The recipe is indigestible, but hopefully saving: cut, rationalize, to close. Three verbs to decline at the present time, to begin a powerful reversal compared to the unfortunate trend that has led the region of Calabria accumulating debts totaling 2 billion 166 million euro, government certified by the advisor KPMG. In a frantic night sitting, chaired by the Regional Agazio Loiero has launched a new plan for the return from maxideficit in Health, after the resounding rejection of the previous programming by Welfare Minister Maurizio Sacconi, complete with a incumbent commissioner. Measure key: a few months will close their doors as many as 11 hospitals.
The Governor, his deputy Domenico Cersosimo and the DG of the Department Health Protection Andrea Guerzoni, next to an austere rationalization (denominations of € 260 million which would lead to a budget sector in surplus by 2011), highlight the entry of serious quality standards for services provided. As for the debt, nearly 100% if the government take over a mortgage that will refund the region gradually, the Authority will assume the liability of more than 300 million euro deficit of only healthcare product from 2006 onwards. Remains the most drastic measure: 11 hospitals will close their doors in a short span of time, by the end of 5 years (Palmi, Oppido Mamertina, Clairvaux, and St. Mark Argentano Mormanno) and the other 6 at a later time, from "acute care centers "Case in transforming health (prevention will in the territories of Asp 5). Will be imposed a "stop" at the pharmaceutical expenditure more High in the country, with recovery estimated at 90 million euro per year, thanks to the implementation of direct distribution. It drenerà spending on the front of the goods and services and most will be "frozen" assumptions: the turnover rate for doctors and nurses will be limited to the minimum required to ensure health care quality in the land who pays an annual tax of 350 million the notorious "journeys of hope."

E 'confirmation of a "final solution" that you knew already? More or less. And more or less shared. The debate on oppidese "House of Health" arrived in fact seemed a sort of resigned acceptance of a solution / lesser of two evils, from which to draw later in some other concession to the post of first intervention 24h/24 "or - better yet - to a basic emergency room accompanied by minimal structure in the immediate treatment of acute.

We hope and we hope that the municipal government is actively present oppidese, powerfully and loudly in these requests. If you shine for his silence, do not hope in public confidence.

What however we will never accept, and that the history of Calabria and condennerà always condemned as the most vile of crimes against political and social consumption of a people sick, and the new, infamous "Regional plan of return" on health care costs that, once again, cuts heavily on services, but not the monstrous waste of which is still dotted with the world health in Calabria, especially in the former ASL 10 of Palmi, on So a few months ago we had the opportunity to reflect on this blog.

WAITING FOR THE MUSEUM, GODOT OPPIDESE

All Calabria, and in particular those who live in the province of Reggio Calabria, will be aware of the closure for refurbishment of the National Museum of Magna Grecia in Reggio Calabria, if only because of the insistence with which Local media have reported the long controversy about accommodation during the period of unavailability of the structure of the Bronze Statues (among other things also need to be restored), which was originally intended to be transferred to Rome, and that, instead of here in a few weeks will be allocated apparently, at the Palace which houses the Regional Council.

Well, the story of the ongoing work at the Palazzo Piacentini, home to the museum of our town, is a question that might have become of interest to oppidesi a much greater extent than apparently derives from the simple to the local community with Oppido Reggio Calabria.

museum institute in the city of the Strait are preserved, in fact, almost all of the numerous archaeological finds unearthed during excavations carried out in our area - true reservoir of antiquities - from the last century and until today, that is found in a completely causal over time.

The finest pieces are (more correctly, were, as the museum is already closed, and will remain so until 2011) exposed to the public, how - and to mention only the most famous - the so-called cup Cananzi (named after the city that occasionally found it) or Tresilico (in whose territory it was found, and even if one scholar recently deceased claimed that the ground where it had lain for centuries was situated in the countryside of Varapodio, and proposing such a change of name), glass bowl dating from the third century BC, or the bronze plate with a dedication to Hercules Reggio, also discovered by chance but in the Castellace, and even earlier, since going back to the fifth century.

deposits of the museum guard then finds a wealth of additional metal, silica, ceramics, coins and any other kind, nature of construction, part of the personal or household equipment for everyday use or even funeral, and the testimony of several constituents millennia of history of human settlements in our territory, recorded in chronological order, starting from the protohistoric site of Castellace, before moving to the fortress of Contrada Palazzo (IV century BC), the Italian town of Mella (III - the first century BC) and before the present day, the medieval village of Old Oppido (XI - XVIII century AD).

For decades, namely since the late 80's, from when the idea of \u200b\u200bsetting up a museum to Oppido found a first draft, many of these objects waiting to be exposed directly in our town and, for the their learning and move to our city (and yet keeping in mind that, of course, the Archaeological Survey of Calabria grant to the City on loan already visible in the Reggio) the closure of Palazzo Piacentini an occasion all in favor.

precludes such a solution, once again, the lack of structure to Oppido recovered and used to house the town museum, Palazzo Grillo, who, after buying such marks by the City, the third is undergoing major restructuring and , and now almost ten years after the first full-bodied restoration, financed with funds from the Mezzogiorno and persisted for the 90s, has been and is being used, apart from fleeting cultural and pseudotali, in an extremely partial as a library and as the seat of the police headquarters (?).

Why, then, this historical building is not yet ready to be used to achieve the purposes for which so many public money was spent we ignore it, since it is already fitted inside, the display cases of artifacts and, and even though this is still not active, the alarm system needed to protect exposures.

fact is that it, worn for the ongoing decline that time subject to everything and more to the degradation of non-use, yet to be born and he is old, or rather, has grown old without have lived, and requires substantial maintenance to keep ready for an appointment, which his operation, but finds it hard to get.

The failure of the "multipurpose cultural center of support to the archaeological sites of Old Oppido Mella" (as the structure to be allocated in the building was originally called) is probably attributable to the legendary curse of the Palazzo Grillo, who wrote Don Luca Asprea imparted by the next bishop, and maybe even its effects? Or, in a less supernatural, incompleteness and lack of features will depend on the work of recovery and the lack of concreteness of our local ruling class?

do not know, but it is certain that the City Museum, an institution included in the curricula of all political forces in the city competition in municipal elections last twenty years, evidently regarded by all as fundamental to the development of cultural tourism area is, at present, the largest unfinished business of our city, and cherished dream unfulfilled, in the vain expectation of which - like the famous Godot Beckett's theatrical piece - the community oppidese has consumed time and resources.

We only hope that the future (possibly near) our belies this conclusion.

Male Full Frontal Blog

ABOUT DAMAGE TO THE DISCOMFORT CROSS AND THE CROSS?

The Crucifix and Cross damage undoubtedly disturb the seven judges of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, namely: Francoise Tulkens (Belgium, President), Vladimiro Zagrebelsky (Italy), Ireneu Cabral Barreto (Portugal), Danute Jociene (Lithuania) , Dragoljub Popovic (Serbia), Andras Sajo (Hungary), and Isil Karakas (Turkey).

Motivation is the most generic ° " The presence of the crucifix ... constitutes "a violation of the right of parents to educate their children according to their convictions" and a violation of "freedom of religion" . Indeed "The presence of the crucifix - says the court's ruling in Strasbourg - could easily be interpreted by students and people of all ages as a religious symbol. To alert to be in an environment that has the mark of a given religion. " All this continues, "could be encouraging for Christians, but annoying for those who practice other religions, particularly if they belong religious minorities or are atheists. "

There is no need to enter into debate or express opinions on a highly questionable decision: they would be only a drop in the bucket of the discussions in recent days have flooded the media. We merely note that the Court is still clearly able to understand how exposure in the classes of public schools or in public places in general, a symbol that can reasonably be associated with Catholicism, may serve the educational pluralism which is essential for the maintenance of a democratic society as it was conceived by the European Convention of Human Rights, a pluralism that is, however, recognized the Italian Constitutional Court.

A reflection is very spontaneous, however: According to the Court of Strasbourg, the emblem of the Calabria Region and the Province of Reggio Calabria should be banned! In fact, both the Cross has a predominant role:



About the coat of arms CALABRIA REGION fact, the analysis provides heraldry: "The pine larch is the region's natural beauty. The column points out the age of Magna Graecia. The Byzantine cross, reminiscent of the Byzantine Empire in Calabria has been a member. Enhanced Cross, already present in the arms of Calabria Ultra Citra and Calabria, Calabria recalled the value of the Crusaders during the First Crusade "

Similar crosses are in the arms of the province of REGGIO CALABRIA!
. . .

It 's the case of ineffable wonder of the seven judges of the High Court if it is okay to delete these crosses also our coats of arms (perhaps replacing them with small stylized lupare or some twisted horn of a compass)?

Sweet Congratulations Letter

THE BRIDGE OF SAN GIACOMO

"A Piminoro, a village close to the Aspromonte Oppido Mamertina of about 400 inhabitants and the limits of subsistence mountain economy, still in the first two days of November, some women prepare a meal that is sent as a gift to other families. In 1979, during a survey, we have witnessed the preparation by the lady Immaculate Barillaro of this ritual meal, consisting of pasta with meat sauce (for a total of 4 pounds) and meatballs (4 pounds), the lunch was sent , sometimes with a bottle of wine, half of the children, families neighbors and even some villagers patrons of a bar, which last year had made an explicit request to Barillaro.Tale ritual offering is made, as we explicitly said the lady, for the souls of the dead.

also the entire research team (composed of 5 persons) was insistently offered the same room with the same motivation.

A Piminoro was not found in the belief, widespread in the same area Aspromonte, the return of the dead in the night between 1 and 2 or for the entire month of November in their homes to consume the food and wine prepared them. The custom of the dining ritual was in the years previous widespread in the country. Mrs. Barillaro acquired this practice in his own family, now emigrated to Australia, his mother, in fact, the specific practices.

In this case, the other without further specification represents the dead, is dead in its capacity as recipient of an action pledge and affectionate.

The other, as such, is constitutionally survivor passes and through him the opportunity to recover a relationship with the dead. The affection may well articulated in language and to find partners and form an area of \u200b\u200bcontinued symbolic.

The call is part of the team especially in the cultural figure of the "foreigner", which, as it is not known by definition, can equate with the dead and the absence of stable roles recognized in the country allow give the stranger the function of representing the dead vicariously.

A Strongoli in the province of Catanzaro, November 2, 1978, a "foreigner" who was in a shop to buy bread, that was offered by a local customer, causally in this workshop, in the souls of their dead.

The stranger reminiscent of the cultural framework of the pilgrim and guest, so was taken as the person in need, and then in this particular respect, comparable to the poor and, correspondingly, to the dead. "
---

The song was just played verbatim excerpt from" The Bridge of San Giacomo - The ideology of death in the peasant society of the South ", essay published in 1982 for the types of Rizzoli and co-written by two academics from Calabria, Luigi Maria Lombardi Satriani (in addition to its well-known anthropologist, also grandson of the great folklorist Raffaele Lombardi Satriani) and Mariano Meligrana, in which the same explore concepts and behaviors, respectively, formed and led by a curious mixture of superstition and religious dictates of traditional matrix, observable, especially in the past, in the southern working class with reference to exitus vitae supremum.

In particular, the phenomenology of death folk Bridge of San Giacomo is unique, narrow (specifically, " rope as thin as a hair ") transition between this life el'aldità, whose journey is granted only to the deceased, and prevented the living.

We wanted to offer to visitors of the blog a step in the volume, the result of a representative of the many research on the subject conducted by the authors, both for its purely national interest (since kept to a survey conducted by researchers at Piminoro) as well as brought before us, southern Calabria and the present time, we have lost in the current globalized our cultural roots, a particular modus , of \u200b\u200bwhich our ancestors were convinced, to entertain a relationship with the deceased (and which, however, went even track the behaviors of various contemporaries, often zealous in the state - as it will ever observed in more than one - to make a donation, however modest, in favor of a stranger " 'eg the animeja dead ").

We believe the summons a small suggestion to give a deeper meaning, the more genuinely "Calabrian" than religious or consumer, but not universal in scope, in these days of commemoration of the dead and who knows, maybe even better to spend the conviction that, as taught by the fathers and of course regardless of the observance of certain rituals Passat, November 2 the wall between life and death is weakened and the Bridge of San Giacomo, rather than symbolizing a one-way trip, can be really trait d'union between every living and their loved ones ...

Elevations In Colorado

ANNOUNCE, complaints and waiver: The Church of the Calabrian Ndrangheta victim or executioner?

The Encyclical "Caritas in Veritate" where we spent the previous thread, reminds us that just this month, 7 to 10 October last, was held to Le Castella the V Conference of Churches Calabresi "in the climate of the usual confidentiality for insiders. An event like a lot for the people of Calabria less distracted, an event almost completely unknown to Oppidesi, advertised only by some anonymous poster placed at the edge of the churches. Nothing more.

It would not even talk about the case this time even if the " Convening " did not take into account the relationship between the Church and the Calabrian Ndrangheta in reality and if they had not raised voices worth repeat.

"The Church is a victim or perpetrator of the 'Ndrangheta in Calabria?" was asked Enzo Romeo, editor of the TG2 and coordinator of the work (We all remember him at least as an author of wonderful documentaries, including one Certosa di Serra San Bruno, which was created a wonderful book, complete with DVD).

One of the most poignant responses was that of Sister Carolina Iavarone, one of the sisters who shared the dramatic the story of Father Pino Puglisi Brancaccio in Palermo and worked with him personally and actively in the difficult work of moral and social emancipation of the neighborhood, the first which saw Don Pino dead, killed in the square on his birthday and that alone , had the courage to watch the night the coffin into the church together with the younger children of the Brancaccio, when it all away in the grip of an insane fear of killing the priests and even prevents their bodies are awake, but in the end perhaps trembles before the holiness of the martyrdom of a simple man, a great priest.

Sister Carolina and 'other sister, after the death of Don Pino, have had to leave Palermo and, not ca know, were granted a few years ago in Locride Bregantini by Msgr. There are still operating in defiance, in a small community, organized crime and malfeasance in a plague "hot" and difficult of Calabria.

the provocative question Enzo Romeo - we said - "The Church is a victim or perpetrator of the 'Ndrangheta in Calabria?" , Sister Carolina bluntly replied: "A Church perhaps too much sitting in the sacristy." "My hope is to follow the teachings of Don Tonino Bello calling for a Church that knows how to announce, denounce and renounce". "The Church needs martyrs" , continued still consecrated. Martyrs 'inside' the Church.

But there are also secular martyrs said Monsignor Salvatore Nunnari, Archbishop of Cosenza.

Among all, Pino Masciari, the author of the second response, important for us, a witness to justice, who has lived under guard since he denounced the gangs who asked lace. A choice that changed his life. " I chose to be a statesman," shouted in the conference room of Le Castella. A history of pain and love for his land. For his family. He reviewed his mother after twelve years. On his deathbed he said: "I am proud to have a son like you."

At the end of his speech all the participants, the chronicles , rose to their feet to applaud him. A martyr of our time. " But just the applause of the "experts" to spread the culture of martyrdom and the law? Just their emotion of a moment?

Romeo said. "Calabria is a land that brought together West and East. Hellenism and Christianity. He has much to offer. But it is also true that it is a land where some of its distinctive values, such as hospitality, family, and discretion, have become negative values. Borrowed from the 'Ndrangheta and transformed into a language that can speak only of the Mafia. A beautiful Calabria. Religious. And with a strong sense of state. But it must recover herself. That's the only hope ".

not forget that we also "lay" We have our responsibilities and our 'call', but we note that the findings of this meeting the Church Calabria should satisfy this desire for redemption is now widespread and, as noted by Sister Carolina, to be able to get out of the sacristy, the closed areas of the organizations within the Church and customs aggregative ends in themselves, know and want to proclaim Christ to all and not just circles increasingly narrow and exclusive, have the courage to openly denounce the crime and even brothels disguised as fake legality, to be able to give up his attire and his rhetoric to really meet everyone and be all and for all.

CHARITY 'THE TRUTH': THE ONLY TRUE WAY OF DEVELOPMENT

The events that now every day, occupy the political landscape and institutional activity make a few merits of the men involved - at all levels - for the common good.

to pay the voice of faith media, the management of res publica past their high-end features that guarantee the fulfillment of the social contract for the practice of tabloid interest, since, over allegations of partying in the mansion of the Berlusconi case Marrazzo, the most or less accurate and abhorrent to the privacy of our leaders seem to acquire, for the means of mass communication, and greater importance than the morbid realization of benefit to the community (and the understanding that this omits mention of broader considerations, unrelated to the goal we have set , the existence of a clear line of demarcation between the public and staff of institutional character, and need for these, even in their being less relevant to the mandate, however, take an attitude shared objects, in line with the exemplary that must have their role).

So, while stories of little consequence for the common interest of the citizens are placed at the center of attention, the great issues of our time, those destined to become irreversibly our future, if they are treated, they are simply being principle and ideological confrontation and in the light of the utility, even selfish, valued at the time, and without the breadth of views and considerations, which alone can provide solutions to the political debate balanced and long lasting.

so happens to all the major themes of morality and bioethics in particular, from time to time on the carpet and unresolved sexual diversity, living wills and euthanasia, new abortion, genetic gain relief on the result of external factors, and from time to time and from the subjects that we have delegated to write the rules even of individual choices in the public interest, after bloody ideological battles get patched or regulations, episodic and partial, that are not regulated at all, paving the way for the exercise of Supplementary powers (eg the judiciary, in the case of painful Luana Englaro, in the other part administrative CUF regard to the introduction of abortion pill RU486).

But it's so well for the government and the economy, however, for the exercise of power to the functional material development, within which any action should be, given the transnational nature of its effects in a globalized world, properly balanced in all its possible reverberations and, instead, is widely adopted, leaving unscathed, even worse, a situation that sees the world peoples move at two speeds, and some take advantage of progress and well-being immoderate, and other individuals of the most basic fundamental rights, such as to the life or health. Since

policy is nothing but a sort of set of Chinese boxes, transposing these considerations - of course, mutatis mutandis - we can appreciate the persistence of inequality is restricting our gaze to our nation that, despite, develops at different rates and offer services to citizens different, is to bet on federalism with the risk without adequate compensation mechanisms, to sharpen the north-south divide, and is also the only region where, in order to remain in the samples, the massacre in the wasteful health in large cities ( See the story of the Cancer Center of Excellence Foundation Bell Catanzaro) you want to correct the minimum closing outposts health of the province, such as Oppido, and again in which, compared to rivers of money invested in the modernization of A3, when ready, will already technically outdated, the "small" as oppidesi varapodiesi and are called to celebrate because those who administer them, after ten months of disruption and road, accompanied by a bridge on the road pioneered by Marro.

the eyes of the city, but perhaps it objectively, then the policy has lost the plot.

We did this assessment as we learned that even in our small town, will be presented the latest papal encyclical in which Pope Benedict XVI once again, in the footsteps of Popolorum Progressio of Paul VI, the theme of "human development", namely "to promote the good of every person and of the whole man" as the supreme goal pursued by the Church's social doctrine and, in general, elicit political commitment.

According to the theologian-pope, (where nothing has taken away and nothing could take away the unhappy court gave two days ago by Eugenio Scalfari , which not clear from which vantage point he called Pope Benedict XVI "a moderate theologian) reason, which should preside over the options of government, must be illuminated by faith and, above all, the truth that it seeks to achieve in the modern world can not be separated from love (in fact, the Caritas in Veritate hence the title of the encyclical), especially from the divine to penalty to achieve, in the development of the people targeted by policy choices, a humanism without God "and then" inhuman. "" Only a humanism open to the Absolute can guide us in the promotion and implementation of forms of social and civic life .... safeguarded by risk of becoming ensnared by the latest trends and - Pope Ratzinger continues - only "the love of God calls us to move from what is limited and not definitive, it gives us the courage to work and continue the search for the good of all. "

Perhaps, given the ethical significance of the letter, would be a good thing, regardless of religious beliefs, not only Scalfari, but also many politicians read it.

I wonder Verona if they realize what is happening in the city of La Scala. I wonder what it means for the Veronese remember events such as the terrible murder of Nicola Tommasoli, beaten and killed because "different", or remember a swastika flags or in the Celtic curve of 'H. Verona a few years ago, or even to live a city where incidents of racism are as simple as grumpy on the agenda. I wonder if is normal go out and see guys with a T-shirt proudly written by "fascist love," or walls daubed with fascist symbols or glorifying the culture of racial hatred. I am perplexed by the appointments of members of Fiamma Tricolore (and former member of the far-right group the "Gesta war") Institute for the History of Verona and the Resistance (with subsequent resignation) and the condemnation of racial discrimination, mayor of Verona (not resignation). I am amazed by such a large deployment of police to control that two factions from colliding on 10/10/2009, after the front of the Maffei, 07.10.2009 boys factions ("Metropolis" and " Student Block ") have engaged in a fight without many compliments ... I'm saddened by a culture, that of our city, not trying to go beyond the fears, but instead prefers to hole up and be a shield from the diversity ... maybe referring to nonsense such as the myth of the superior race ...


guess it will take time and sacrifice (cultural) for live in a truly free from these cities, too many prejudices and these, too, acts of violence. We hope for good ...

(The group "Gesta warfare" Trento will be tomorrow night for a concert that has already been heavily criticized by the community center and Bruno Trento abnormal.)

Masterbation After Hernia Surgery

"POR AND LAW 488: l ' universe of fraud in Calabria moves around an acronym and a number ... "

This time the title of the thread was easy to find. E 'is enough to copy in full the first two lines of the article Journal of the South reported on its front page a few days ago, and that, by a strange irony of fate, although explosive in its content, was not bothered a lot of attention almost by anyone, even by regional media (perhaps too busy with other matters of broader?).

Rileggiamone just published a summary on the front page, leaving aside the large depth reported by the same number of newspaper inside it, without omitting anything, but referring to the generalities of the "suspects" only with the initials for a sort of atavistic shame, at least on our part:

"POR AND LAW 488: the world of fraud in Calabria moves around an acronym and in single digits.

The acronym refers to funding programs that the EU has allocated member states and, therefore, to Italy, the figure, however, is the numerical indication that the Legislature has given to a law designed to encourage the development of entrepreneurship in the South. Both of them represent a synthesis of failure economic, business and politics.

The flood of money flowed through the valleys and along the Sila and Aspromonte lush plains of Sybaris and Gioia Tauro was in fact drained by hordes of fixers and unscrupulous businessmen who fattened their coffers and never start production sectors that offer significant implications for employment. The investigation conducted by the Guardia di Finanza ... has run ended with the arrest (at home) entrepreneur FG, 50, of R., of the President of the Consorzio Terre di Calabria ", GBP, 40, of C., the director of the work that had been funded, FS, 28, of C., and two regional officials, AR, 60, of C. and GDF, 47, of C., involved in the affair in the guise of testing of the facilities financed with Por The defendants allegedly engaged in trickery or deceit in inducing error is in the Calabria region, provision of the contribution of € 1,850,000, and the Inland Revenue of R, which has even a VAT refund of 663.000euro to the company under investigation.

The picture emerged from the investigation does not reveal, however, nothing new or shocking. The "technical" approach to undue public money earned is always the same. The only shocking thing is, if anything, the failure of the supervisory bodies. Before the Finance and other institutional representatives of the judiciary should have intervened. "(Journal of South n.58/286 of 17/10/2009, p.1)


It turns out therefore to use the same language of the chronicler, a world of corruption and profiteering put in place by hordes of unscrupulous people ready to drink the hefty rivers of money that EU funds are making it rain on Calabria for some years now, without it being seen benefits and impact on the development of this region, which De Magistris (remember?) just two years ago said that the European capital which had piovuti9 are raining down on him and could have become far richer than Switzerland!

There is so much to ask what they think and how we judge the European countries "with Italy," this flood of money to lavish regions such as Calabria and is used to finance in regions, provinces, municipalities, mountain communities, social institutions, educational institutions, religious institutions and even specific organizations, not only serious projects, but now also projects the brainy (we would have to compile a long list, and highly entertaining).

Here's what he wrote about one of the most influential newspapers' s Europe, the German Der Spiegel just a year ago (when even the investigation of the Guardia di Finanza in Calabria had not brought into the open what should be considered one of the biggest scandals of recent times):

"Calabria distributes millions of European funds in famous footballers.

The southern Italian region of Calabria is small, poor, mafia - and official partner of the Italian national football team. To attract tourists, Calabria pours millions into the pockets of some famous players - with EU funds.

Brussels - The game was still zero to zero, the public at the "Stadio Comunale" of the Tuscan city of Pistoia bored. The match between the Olympic teams of Italy and Romania, and 'On the eleventh minute. At that moment something happened and that 's been almost unnoticed to the attention of the spectators but a few hundred miles to the south was awaited with great expectations: the billboards in the stadium had changed the message shown. On a brilliant blue background, you could now read "Regione Calabria". A few seconds later a further change, a new text, translated into German, bearing the inscription "Calabria offers you more."

So, on July 22 this year, during the race under-23 national soccer team, the poor southern region of Calabria and 'become an official partner of the Italian national football team. " Money used "largely uncontrolled" The partnership has naturally a certain cost.

The region pays 1.8 million euros for a period of three years for the "sponsorship" of the "Squadra Azzurra. We also want to invest nearly five million for the broadcast and publication of announcements and advertisements in newspapers and television stations. The exact amount invested are still unclear because 'the data are contradictory.

One thing is' certain: half of this amount comes from Brussels, from regional aid funds are intended to improve facilities in economically disadvantaged areas with the intent to provide them with an economic boost and encourage the creation of jobs.

Another example of an absurd system of funding critical to the center of Brussels for a long time. Last year, under the heading "regional aid" were handed out 45.5 billion euros. However, since 'in the 27 member countries, faced with such a' high availability 'of money is not a sufficiently significant number of projects, some of the money will not be' not recovered. Another example of an absurd system - in Calabria and certainly not the only one.

"Many things do not work," said another European Parliament, the British Liberal Bill Newton-Dunn, who recently participated in an inspection in the south of Italy with a commission of the Budget Control Committee. His conclusion: "More controls" on the destination of EU funds from Brussels are urgently needed specialists. Commissioner Danuta Hübner, responsible for regional aid, has asked the regional administration of Catanzaro in Calabria to provide detailed information on the case by next Monday '. In this' at the region should also explain the utility and eventual success of previous campaigns done with millions of euros in EU funding.

In one of these, the tabloid photographer Oliviero Toscani had photographed groups of young people of Calabria who were then accompanied by slogans such as "Crime? Of course, we Calabrian 'and so' and then published in many newspapers and in television commercials. The campaign was aimed at reducing prejudice by which the inhabitants of Calabria are mostly members of the mafia.

an unfortunate action. In fact, on August 15 in Duisburg last year were killed by a hail of bullets six suspected gangsters. All tracks of the murderers, who is victims, bring in Calabria. "[Der Spiegel, Thursday, September 25, 2008].


we will not dwell further with our comments, perhaps out of place, but it seems well suited as a new logo for Por Calabria this little image that we would like to propose the closing of this long thread and there seems to be a more fitting , the seal of a deal, or nearly so.

Hiv But No Cold In Years

RAPSODIA Marro

The opening track of the much transit alternative to the nearly collapsed bridge over the river Marro has coincided with a wave of bad weather in recent days, characterized by abnormally low temperatures and frequent rainfall.

so I happened to make the first step along the new route while it was raining, with methodical intensity and without splashing too violent. The stereo in my car to spread the music of "Rhapsody in Blue" and, after long phrasings horn and piano, the entire orchestra is blatantly went into action at the very moment when, with utter astonishment, I passed the short descent now leading to the river bed and, proceeding on a platform surmounting some large cement pipe resting in the same orientation of the water flowing and that channel the same as not to interrupt the course with the new work, I passed Marro.

The impression given during this short journey is unique and remarkable: the driveway is level at a height of negligible compared to that of water (the difference will be you and no one meter), and go on when they latter are a bit 'more swollen (like rain) has the flavor of a ford, that passage of the streams that break the fast drying of beds of rivers so frequently practiced today with vehicles from the country people and, once, walking the many wanderers of these lands or, for pure spirit of pleasure and escape, even by the children of my generation.

It makes you think that, despite the location in question was prepared with the adoption of all the safety precautions, an abnormal elevation of the level of the river, similar to those caused by recent winter storms, it easily cagionerà closure.

But, more, becomes the spontaneous observation of instability and ease of alternative solution put in place (in the space of a month) to allow motorists to overcome this river, which in January did give the bridge above him and he has so physically separated from areas of the coastal plain of Gioia Tauro.

It angers noted that such a solution would have been possible without consuming too much interruption already the road, or at most in the spring, saving time and cost of alternative long-distance, winding, and limiting damage that has caused difficulties with connection to the economy - especially agricultural and trade - interior of this area.

After ten months, the "mountain" has given birth to a "mouse" that could born not more than six or seven months ago and, although the intent should be fairly short life, it could keep us company, because the ancient habit of promoting Italic provisional final, far more than expected.

But why, in order to a problem that plagued almost a year the citizens of the district preaspromontano, the competent authority (the County) has not planned for the timely completion of the project in late exists with today? Because the drafting and implementation of programs to reduce the criticality of this area always seem to be a bit 'as the evolution of rhapsody I'm listening, in an almost impromptu and varied? And how do some of our representatives, who are experiencing "a nose" after all issues can be overcome, and, specifically, do not guarantee the functioning of the inadequate road structure that we have to promise Direttissima Delianuova-Gioia Tauro, piedmont, tunnels and other Zilastro infrastructure innovations that respect the way things seem to creations of science fiction? And how can anyone claim that we citizens also express joy and gratitude to the Province of Reggio Calabria to have now realized the alternative track to Marro, when this is the litmus test of a way of administering that define the third world would be an understatement?

While these questions I sweat, I is also in mind that the name of the river Marro is nothing but a derivation of Metauro, and that it is the same in which, according to Greek mythology, the now-mad Orestes plunged find serenity and reason.

Well, maybe pass almost "above the water" will serve to give us the illusion of swimming in Marro, and to instill a peace that the bizarre course of events public dangerously threatens our own.

My Doughter In Panties

ON FORMER PALM ASL10 a shortfall of eleven MILLION ... AND A GOOD MEAL million five hundred wrongly paid out of anti


Before that date news as soon as the agency Adnkronos a few hours ago, we confess, would come just like the owner of this thread with some striking phrase, such "When in the ASL also eat the ghosts ..." or " The great hunger ..." , parodying the title of the film "Into Great Silence".

We opted for a more prosaic and less sarcastic way, because there's really nothing to joke, but just to weep before to decay more or less legalized for years that has seen health in the Plain of Gioia Tauro curl in on itself in the hands (and brains) also clearly unscrupulous people in absolute indifference and lack of control by the political establishment and management charge.

finally talk about it! Finally he says that while hospitals such as Oppido and were forced to close wards and rigid weight-loss diets to save on costs, the former ASL 10 of Palmi scialare in the supply of ... no one knows what, while in the hospital Oppido languished in hospital for a bottle of mineral water, 10 nell'ASL were consumed - is must be said - even lavish meals by the ghosts, while in our hospital would close the emergency room or sometimes the staff was forced to recycle even a tourniquet frayed and broken, in the nerve center of the ASL is wasted 10 million €, and not so secretly.

not go further reflection not to disturb the stomach and the heart of our visitors. Let speak only aseptic (!) Press agency, without further comment.

Reggio Calabria, October 14 - (Adnkronos) - A disproportionate distribution of food vouchers, but also a total shortfall of 11 mil ion d € the former ASL # 10 of Palmi and 'was discovered by the Guardia di Finanza of Reggio Calabria. Four people were reported to 'court for crimes against public administration, property, the administration of justice and public faith.

The amount payable to suppliers for the catering service is become so 'exorbitant that the company found itself in health problems to honor our obligations, to the request for 800 000 € only for statutory interest accrued as a result of legal actions taken by the supplier firms.

The financiers also speak of''relevant diseconomy 'management''that has' resulted in improper donations of money, donations of food stamps in violation of company policy and the conditions dictated by the National Collective Bargaining Agreement, shortages of various kinds, irregular administration public goods, reckless purchases, idleness' of health and cases of absenteeism regularly paid.

In particular, and 'survey was conducted between 2001 and 2007 the replacement of the canteen service, which revealed marked abnormalities in administrative and managerial error on food stamps and in the supply orders and requests for supply-booking of expenditure in the absence of evidence shows the number of employees who were to carry out the their duties in the time necessary concerning the recognition of the right at the table.

In total, the Guardia di Finanza has found a million and 500 thousand vouchers wrongly paid out not only (rightly) to employees who perform work continuity, that is 'non-stop for lunch, but rather' to subjects which prolong the service in the afternoon but without continuity '(bypassing between the other marking the card confirming the presence service), getting a double benefit because 'sector regulations prohibiting the consummation of the food during working hours and the income in that period of time.

The Flames have noticed a yellow''almost 'no activity' verification by those responsible for the delivery of the ticket, and whose deficit 'was estimated at about 15 thousand units', which is further exacerbated by imprudent management by the relevant administrative offices of the institution.'' The meal was also awarded to employees who retired or were absent from work for vacation or illness.

One of them marked the card for three months.

BERLUSCONI LEADER?

Speaking Sunday during a sortie to the streets of the country, with a lady of the elderly population and talkative, always attentive to issues of national news, I got to hear the following words: "A Berlusconi maru! Quantu cumbattunu u 'ssi judges .. But jiu esti ndurutu! And ammenu Mali, ca esti unicu the fog laden with what those grandchildren. "

I returned to my house a lot of brooding, and I started to believe they have identified a possible reason why Berlusconi, despite gaffes, scandals, megalomania and self-pity that make it different, well which he defines as a statesman, a nice showman, is still the most popular politician by far the majority of Italians.

Yes, because for several days, namely the uncontrolled reaction of the premier delivery of the Constitutional Court which declared illegal the Alfano Bill, I wondered how it was possible the triumph of a man who in the opinion polls, never mind the role played, you rails against the usual institutional mechanisms complaint - incredibly - that they function only in the perspective of opposition to the President of the Council of Ministers in charge, and the subversion of popular sovereignty.


Among the outputs of Silvio convulse after delivery of a Look in particular struck me: the fifteen judges of the supreme assurance, by definition place impartial and aimed at ensuring the compliance of our regulatory regime to fundamental principles laid down by the founding fathers of the Republic in 1948, states that the estimate, which puts the President of the Republic, the Prime Ministers and Presidents of the Chambers immune from criminal prosecution during their term of office in violation Articles 3 (which establishes the equality of citizens before the law) and 138 (which provides that amendments to the Constitution be made by constitutional law) of our Constitution, and the Premier doing? Call and Porta a Porta, and (apart from the insult given to Bindi) expressly states that resent Napolitano because, due to the extraction of the left of most of the judges of the Court, he could call them to confirm their immunity law.

These statements, of course, as well as the form of an explicit statement of discontent because the President has abused his position to influence another autonomous organ of the state, imply a vision (which is also expressly confirmed in the context the same story) that this other organ of the state (the Constitutional Court), rather than exercise its right to security with prudence, objectivity and allegiance only to the law, this has made partisanship driven by the particular purpose to injure someone and benefit to others, so as to make it perfectly legitimate intervention of the longed-Berlusconi aims to reverse this purpose.

Not for authority, but for any citizen who has a sense of the statement could not be more absurd statements made and less protocol, which stripped almost hieratic function of the highest democratic institutions of our country to be degrading defense of the common good to poor play, driven by interests different from those of the Italians.

Despite thereby delegitimize the republican institutions, in spite see conspiracies against him everywhere, even escort guests of his party and white tissue, despite a continuous hype surrounds her figure, public and private, so as to prevent capture the precise extent of its achievements governmental although it is not - contrary to what he says - more than Cavour, De Gasperi Giolitti or the best single heads of government of Italy, Berlusconi, as mentioned, is always pleasing to the people and first in the polls.

Why?

Because, probably, and building on the dialogue with my friend today, he is a man of so little government politically correct and so much more character from the sports bar's believes that the average Italian because, truly, is apparent in all his (still fortunate) humanity as an ordinary person, with flaws, excesses and defects content, or not at all hidden by the office, says what he thinks and makes clear the mechanisms of arcane power, points - to return to the story in question - points to the luck that should oversee, alien from the passions of men, the administration of justice Constitution to show that it has not prevented but the view of those who want to look at your face, so comforting all those members of the people always believe that in matters of justice every day the court gives no right or wrong on the basis of an abstract criterion and same for all, but because of who pulled the jacket, including the litigants, is smarter or more equipped to do so.

short, "Berlusconi in Italy is still the first line of politics because, paradoxically, its founder and remains the ultimate anti-political, which suggests a less idealistic view of the system of his opponents, but - alas - more real .

I stopped thinking, and I do not know if this explanation is really the right one, or whether it can be very comforting it is.

Parking in Verona

Adapted from www.fratellipolemici.blogspot.com

Waiting for the Man decides to reduce the vehicles circulating in the streets, or at least it better / technology changes or how to decrease traffic, smog and noise pollution, there and we shall always find in front of the big parking problem. Finding a parking space, especially in urban areas, is often a considerable problem, especially in the evening full of events.

On the website of the Municipality of Verona, you can find a real-time updates on the availability of the various car parks in the city of Verona . Useful to say. Some of these are free, most charge. If we add to these places that are located directly on the city streets would seem plausible to believe that there are enough parking to meet the demand of citizens and tourists.

bad that turning the streets of the city center, in Via Valverde-off Marconi, we realize that the parking issue is far from a simple description of the flow of incoming and outgoing cars, without waiting, without a break in a double row.




I noticed that there are, or where there are little used, loading and unloading areas of real goods for transport. It 's so that often I found myself faced with scenarios like this:


Anyone wishing to report "wild parking" as the ones you see in these photos, feel free to fratellipolemici@gmail.com entering your name, origin (neighborhood, town, country) and photos. If the shares are I think there may be many conditions to make a complaint to the town of Verona.

Art irreverent

Adapted from www.fratellipolemici.blogspot.com

An article appearing in the online version of "The Arena " entitled " Tosi against Venetian painting -" A work clearly blasphemous "" made me think a little more 'on topic-art-censorship satire.

After the complaint against Paunescu, the mayor of Verona, Flavio Tosi arts outrageous attack back and this time, the victim of his critics, the picture was called "blasphemous" by Giuseppe Veneziano . The picture shows the Madonna and baby Jesus, but is painted with the physical features of Hilter. No coincidence that the title is "The Lady of the Third Reich."

Venice has always painted with this provocative and ironic vein has often represented the historical figures past and present in areas of faith and not.
Tosi, however, did not like the bad taste of the painter and voiced his disappointment speaking of "a work blasphemous," "a work that offends the Catholic religion." If it was up to him, that picture would have been covered, censored.

But then I and I ask you: when it is right to censor art? Be it music, cinema, painting, poetry, satire, etc. ...

I believe that we should never censor when the work is the development of a critical fact, a person or an ideology. The art, from ancient times, has always brought out the taboos of society throwing open the doors to freedom of expression.

Aphorisms on Art ...
