A is an old friend, graduated in Italy came to a post-graduate, speaks Italian well enough, English fluently, French and a very polished. To live is the vendor. And in this city, the mayor (who is also one of the MPs of the PDL which have submitted a bill to give an award to the perpetrators of Nazi Salo) last year issued an ordinance - one of the so-called decrees against the squeegee - based on the peddlers, who exercises menial jobs, the poor, especially immigrants.

A has a small clientele of friends who bought him some for his poor convention merchandise, dragging the bag for walking the neighborhoods, trying not to get noticed, just knock on the doors of friendly people. 8 August, with the entry into force of the measures racist and squads of Law 94, known to be exposed to persecution even more 'serious. -
Once when we met we discussed for hours of Keynes and Marx, the deconnection by Samir Amin, criticism desarrollo to André Gunder Frank of the unforgettable, world-economy model of Wallerstein. A hundred times I thought that in a civilized country would travel to a chair.

B is a friend homeless. I have more than one. Years ago, just happened in the city, sleeping under a bench near a station, get coffee, pointed to the table of Caritas, a place to sleep on a mattress inside and, like turn to public services for a minimal help.

lives in precarious jobs and the generosity of those who seemed not forget that all we were slaves in Egypt. Talk bad Italian, but he knows another three or four languages, including that of Goethe. One night some of Hitler's exuberant young men have beaten up. Today is the government itself to haunt our country, to declare a "non person".

C skilful is a social worker with considerable experience in mediating cross-cultural collaborations with various institutions that extended the lead in the palm of your hand highly appreciated for its quality. Talk to almost all the Romance languages, English and some African language that I do not know. Whether we know it is universally respected and admired. Now unemployed, and therefore "illegal" and therefore "criminal", and then exposed to persecution.

He asks me in tears as possible. I ask myself.

D works as a caregiver, is also frightened by the pseudo-amnesty: knows that after the filing if the family she works for the fire you are will ipso facto to be an "irregular" and a "criminal", and then exposed to persecution, and after it was listed work on the pretext of pseudo-amnesty will be easier to capture the perpetrators: as a prey to the mercy of wild beasts.

I told them that at least I, and millions of Italians like me, will not allow our country to be imposed on the apartheid regime: that we will fight with all our might to defend the peace , the rule of law as enshrined in the Constitution of the Italian Republic, the human rights of all human beings.
-
They told me - some with the words, only those with a grimace, or a knowing glance - which is good that we give ourselves to do, and not waste time. They already feel the hobnail boots that beat the pavement behind them. With all four we hugged before leaving.
-
I would like to embrace them again.
