antifascism

Rimini beach, Sunday at the end of August. On the shoreline there is a marketplace of street vendors, with the tourists who will address, contract, joking. Suddenly all and all are starting to flee, infagottando the better goods, folding stools, some leaving everything there.
It suddenly form a dense crown of people quiet. At the heart of it flies from side to side a head black covered with sand. Disappears, reappears above the heads that look like those in danger of drowning in the sea.

With all the family we are off and see the arena at the center two young gym, with his head shaved, a naked torso and Bermuda shorts that are rolling on the sand in a long African shirt. After a while 'will sit above and handcuffed him, the crowd is silent about, even to those to whom it is two young men as violent. But soon they are to reassure the crowd: "We are policemen. Someone, not if you understand the satisfaction or disgust says, "Mamma mia how many have given him." At that point the crowd rose even voices of protest and an elderly lady with the purest of Emilian accents shouting: "Shame! '. Then the policeman who is sitting on top of the African handcuffed replied that he received four fists on the stomach. But not convinced that the voices of protest are rising. Then someone threat: 'stop or even touches Avoi.

gili urbani, con il volto terreo parla ad una radio portatile. Out of the melee a girl with the white shirt with the inscription there Gili urban, with the face terreo speaks to a portable radio. Then the two agents in Bermuda beginning to drag the African toward the street, where the beach ends. Rimini boasts of being the largest beach in Europe and so long is the crossing of files umbrellas. The two policemen dragging in the sand that the African screams desperately among swimmers watching in amazement. Children bring you to shouts to cry while you form a small group that monitors the police and protest. The crying of children is growing, moreover how do you explain to a child that such violence is only determined by the fact that you can not sell illegally in a beach. There is too much disproportion and then up to a minute before the market seemed so friendly and serene. Instead it would be a criminal act. No, a child does not understand, do not grasp the connection between cause and effect. It is then that the beach is divided. Who approves the behavior of two men in Bermuda shorts must go further and must say that today those niggers do not pay taxes, carry diseases, steal, have an injury to all. Those who disdain can only talk about racism and different points of view become clash between bathers, while the police in Bermuda el'africano disappear. And in the End them shouting to those who protest, "stop both the left is no more." Rimini has always been the center of popular holidays and cheap and so its beach is a popular and democratic inclusion and tolerance.

Today it is no longer the case. Hatred, malice, intolerance along the coast under the track. They are traders, they say, they have demanded and supported the manhunt that has been methodically unleashed on the beaches. They argue that the abusive hawkers take away business. So why c'entra with racism? A few days before a group of Arabs had been badly dressed away from a nightclub because of tune with the environment, then it was discovered that they were a group of young rich sheiks. That racism a factor? The coast is full of extra community, women and men from Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia that send forward hotels, restaurants, services of all kinds. It is not racism then what a local newspaper proprietor, "Belvi African scale against the police on the beach" and claim that the relevant local need for exemplary punishment for this ferocious beast. It is not racism than classical, because racism today is less ideological and but censitario. Did not have it on principle with the Asian African, but who besides being different is poor. If those Arabs had presented to the disco dressed as sheiks, would have been accepted as in the film Amarcord.

E 'be poor migrants and wrong, they are inferior beings who can be treated like animals. I do not know if Rimini today is the mirror of Italy, where some Anglo-Saxon newspapers, do not be prohibited because they are things that are allowed elsewhere remain unpunished and all those who are repressed elsewhere. I know that I do not want more ashamed of going to a beach and feel powerless in the face dell'Alabama a scene worthy of the fifties.

So despite the kindness and hospitality of so many that I think we should boycott Rimini. To respond to hunt the beaches in the only way that those who promoted really understands "the decline of tourism." Certainly challenge so large numbers, but sometimes even a small boycott can serve. The mayor and the merchants of Rimini must know that politics with security may serve to win the elections because there just 51%. But can go wrong business. The left, and in the country and even the beaches still exists, can not have more desire to go to rivers where there addresses Maroni, Calderoli and La Russa. And even if only part of this left in Rimini there should be more, the effect will be felt. Why the market shows that only 3% less business can do a great damage.
