Dear Editor,
allow me to write this reflection after Some events, largely supported by the mass media, have created in many people to arms.
is clear that every crime, every crime, every murder is always a shocking incident, which horrifies the conscience of each, but when to commit a crime are the Roma, it seems to be particularly heinous crime and the murderer becomes an execrable monster slam from the front page.
the recent events in Rome are here to demonstrate that happens every time a heinous act such as violence and killing of a defenseless young woman, perpetrated by a citizen of Roma, triggering a violent reaction that affects other innocent citizens, whose only guilt, as Romanians to come nation by the same assassin.
Gypsies, whether they are Roma, Sinti and so on., Are discriminated and marginalized for centuries, their mere appearance in any town or village in our city, it triggers an immediate revulsion for the fame that accompanies them dishonorable. In the collective imagination, they are viewed as thieves, kidnappers, to say the least but one that still baffles most is that the Roma do not seem to worry about this name that you get with some of their attitudes are as repugnant to the theft harmful to the weakest or send their children to beg on the streets, removing more and more a difficult but not impossible inclusion in our society.
In the past, many governments have attempted to answer the question of the Gypsies through laws that constantly put them to the notice, Hitler, together with the Jews, to implement the final solution over them: with the SS Teutonic obedience and determination were busy for rakes across Europe and insert them into the gas chambers. The defeat of Nazism prevent this criminal plan might be fulfilled, and leaves a bad taste in the mouths of people who are now visiting the various camps, he discovers that there are plaques and memorials that remember all the victims of the peoples subjugated by the Nazis, but strangely there is no memory that we remember the thousands of victims of the Gypsy people. It is certainly not easy
dialogue with those who live on the margins of society and the law, but let a foreign body alive forever without a minimum of vital contact with other people is even more harmful. In a multiethnic and multicultural society such as that is emerging in Europe, you can not think of erecting walls that separate or ghettos, but it must be a central point of the bridge-building institutions that foster mutual understanding and dialogue.
The Christian community in this respect (just as the pagan Celtic world-around calls for "strong solution" against Roma), has a duty to take all the roads that bring about relationships not just of tolerance but of respect and why not, of friendship.
Unlike the speech on Romania. The fact that Romania joined the European Union, puts the Romanians in the privileged position of being able to move without any problem within the member countries. In Italy they are the first foreign community and, unfortunately, according to statistics, including the first community in the number of crimes.
The fact that the Romanian president has been quick to come to Italy after the events in Rome with Prodi to discuss issues related to relations between the two countries, says a lot about what is at stake from an economic standpoint is very high. If the presence of Romanians in Italy has achieved notable figures ensuring through remittances substantial revenue to the budget Romanian immigrants, should also be borne in mind that over twenty thousand Italian companies operating in Romania. There are, therefore, promises to dampen the bud groped for a dangerous escalation that would be racist because of growing inconvenience to everyone.
The path of integration is a difficult road ahead, especially considering that those who have lived for years under the heel of Ceaucescu has developed a sense of rejection of unjust laws that oppress, and this has led to a "form mentis "is relativized much collective moral principles. All this not to excuse those who commit crimes but to understand that, behind all, there is immense need to build not just a polite tolerance on our part, but an educational formation of conscience to which all are called, in particular the institutional world.
In light of these facts, we can say that the presence of evil in the world is opposed to living at the bottom of the logic of the Gospel. It should be remembered that it is based on love and not hatred, nor the rejection of others. Remember these times can help to build a more suitable to the respect for human rights, whoever he is.
