APPEAL TO THE BROTHERS OF IMMIGRANTS ROSARNO

Dear brothers, in Rosario
the situation is all too clear.
Some citizens of Italian nationality Rosarno is in the grip of a frenzy of violence against you. Some say it's racism, others say that there is behind the crime. The result does not change. Today you are victims of violence.
Not only are victims of violence that prompted you to leave your country. Not only are victims of violence, exploitation of a slave of your work. Now you also a victim of absurd hatred that wants to strike indiscriminately all those who do not have white skin.
However, while understanding the reasons for the feeling of anger that now dwells in your heart and your mind, I want to appeal to your own heart and mind.
Responding to violence with violence does not solve anything.
A large proportion of citizens of Rosarno, as well as a large part of Italian citizens disagree with the violence of which you are now victims.
Unfortunately, the violence seems to have the biggest voice, not just one of those unfortunates who have fired on him, but also the violence of those ministers and those of Italian politicians who continue to fan the flames of intolerance and xenophobia. But
have the biggest voice does not make you stronger.
Violence ever defeats itself. Only nonviolence can overcome it. So the real
nonviolence does not mean not to react. In fact, nonviolence is the only way to effectively respond to violence.
So Rosarno immigrant brothers, Mobilität, organize, defend with more strength than you did before. But do you have to use the methodology of active nonviolence, otherwise, after the violence is weakness, and tomorrow you'll miss the most exploited and abused yesterday.
It is not easy, I know. But you more than me, you know what it means to live and overcome their difficulties. You, much more than me, you know what it means Do not be overcome by difficulties and accept the "effort" to overcome them.
's what I want to appeal, not the violent reaction that does not need any effort to express themselves, but to the ability of your heart and your mind to accept the "effort" to act through active nonviolence. The only way to really win.
