Delusions and Hysteria Rule the Frustrated Balkans
It has been eight years since the "Kosovo Liberation Army" openly received NATO support for its separatist war against Serbia; over 14 years since Washington and Brussels recognized the declaration of independence issued by the Muslim-dominated Bosnian government that plunged that country into civil war. In both cases, support from the "international community" produced far less than the leaders of Bosnian Muslims and Kosovo Albanians desired. Almost 11 years after the Dayton Accords, Bosnia is not a centralized, Muslim-dominated country. Seven years after KLA thugs rode into Kosovo on NATO tanks, that province is not yet independent from Serbia. The passage of time reinforces differences between wishful thinking and reality, creating cognitive dissonance and frustration that occasionally spill over into acts that can only be described as madness.
Trust and the Great Game
For years since the NATO occupation began, the separation of Kosovo from Serbia has been described as "inevitable" and only a matter of time. And yet, even though the Empire has put its military, diplomatic, and propaganda muscle behind independence, it doesn't appear any more within reach today than it was this spring, when sham "negotiations" began in Vienna under the chairmanship of an Albanian partisan, former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari.
Simon Tisdall, writing in the Guardian last Friday, blamed Ahtisaari for "giving the game away" on Kosovo by publicly stating the imposition of independence might be delayed because of Serbian and Russian opposition: "Moscow's stance has little to do with resolving the Kosovo conundrum and a lot to do with the wider, ongoing geopolitical struggle between Russia and the West."
(Perhaps that is why Ahtisaari and his ICG buddies lost their bid for the Nobel Peace Prize, although dubbed as favorites. The prestigious award went to a Bangladeshi banker who financed free enterprise.)
The day before, Agim Ceku was visiting London in the capacity of "prime minister" of Kosovo. After talking to British government officials, the former Croatian general and KLA leader told the press that "We trust the international community to drive this process through to the correct conclusion." Just so no one has any doubts as to what this conclusion might be, Ceku added: "We need independence now because we are convinced that there is no other workable solution." (Reuters)
Trust, do you? History is a graveyard littered with bones of peoples who "trusted" the great powers to do the right thing. Albanians think the right thing is independence, because they are 90 percent of the population, they are in de facto possession of the province, and they have the image of victims from the 1998-99 war. Serbs think the right thing is no independence, because they have a de jure claim to the province, because the Albanian majority was created through terror and ethnic cleansing, and because they are victims of the post-1999 occupation, however hard that's been covered up. But the Empire doesn't care either way. As Tisdall unwittingly reveals, the "game" is bigger than Kosovo, Serbs, or Albanians – it's about the old rivalry between East and West, going back to the Cold War and maybe even as far as the 19th-century Great Game.
In opposing the separation of Kosovo, Moscow is seeking to protect its own interests, not those of the Serbs – regardless of Western propagandistic prattle about "ancient alliances" or "Slavic solidarity," those dogs that never bark. In advancing the separation of Kosovo, Washington, London, Paris, and Berlin are pursuing their own imperial agendas – seeking to legitimize their 1999 aggression for one, on which rests their present claim to intervene anywhere, anytime, against anyone – without a second thought about the Kosovo Albanians, much less Serbs.
Ironically, it appears the Serbs are at a bit of an advantage here, if anything because they don't have a powerful sponsor and don't place their fate in the hands of Moscow, seeing as Russia has sold them down the river plenty of times in centuries past. Albanians, on the other hand, have persuaded themselves that the world owes them a debt (independence now, something else later perhaps), and proceed to make demands from that premise. Making demands of the Empire is a lucrative racket, if you can get it – and so long as it lasts.
The Bizarre and the Ridiculous
Many Bosnian Muslims are similarly frustrated with the "international community" for failing to deliver the centralized state supposedly promised in the Dayton Accords. Driven by belief that they were the righteous victims of the 1992-95 conflict, and that the world owes them a debt as a result, many Muslim voters supported militant nationalist Haris Silajdzic at the polls two weeks ago. Silajdzic's campaign reveled in nationalist hysteria, mainly against the Bosnian Serbs but also against the small Croat community, trapped in an increasingly oppressive marriage of inconvenience called the "Bosniak-Croat Federation."
Out of such hysteria come tabloid allegations that would make the editors of American tabloids laugh – but in Bosnia, they are taken perfectly seriously.
Sarajevo county prosecutor Oleg Cavka told AFP last Thursday that he was investigating Canadian Gen. Lewis McKenzie, first commander of the UN peacekeepers in Bosnia, for allegedly visiting a Serb-run brothel and raping Muslim women who were supposedly held captive there.
McKenzie angrily rejected the allegations, explaining that a smear campaign against him has been conducted by the Muslim government in Sarajevo ever since he urged the U.S. in 1992 not to intervene militarily in the Bosnian civil war. The rape allegations were taken from a "confession" by a captured Serb soldier who had been tortured into admitting to all sorts of things – all of which were later proven false. McKenzie wasn't anywhere near Sarajevo when his alleged visit to the alleged rape-brothel allegedly happened.
Perhaps the final bit of cynicism was the claim that a photograph of McKenzie with four crying women showed his victims. In reality, they were four local women that worked for the UN staff, evacuated by McKenzie at the beginning of hostilities in Bosnia. The photo was from their tearful reunion several months later.
For 12 years, the Canadian government has shamefully refused to defend McKenzie, failing even to lodge an official protest with the Sarajevo authorities through their embassy, allowing these kinds of fabrications to periodically resurface and continue to smear the good name of one of their most experienced peacekeepers. This matches the treatment of Canadian soldiers who fought Croatian troops in the Medak pocket in 1993, witnessing atrocities against the local Serbs; their story was suppressed for years.
Perhaps seeing as how bringing up 12-year-old canards sold papers, Amir Pleho, a retired Sarajevo professor introduced as a biological warfare expert, made a claim to several dailies in Croatia and Slovenia this week that Slobodan Milosevic planned to build a nuclear bomb in the early 1990s.
"Milosevic's [sic] wanted to build atomic bomb as he was well aware that possession of nuclear weapon would help him confront the world and put in motion the Greater Serbia ambitions," according to Macedonian agency MakFax.
Serbian officials rejected Pleho's allegations with a mixture of ridicule and disgust, calling it crass propaganda. Pleho's story does sound like the plot of a cheap "techno-thriller" even Tom Clancy would have rejected as too shallow: secret Russian shipments, sinister Serb plots, and the good fortune of international sanctions and NATO bombs that saved the day. All sorts of seemingly incredulous plots have come true in the Balkans, but this does not appear to be one of them.
Unraveling "Realities"
At the end of the Cold War, exuberant imperialists in America and Europe thought they could change not just the face of the world, but the principles according to which it worked, through force and fear. For a while, in the Balkans, it almost looked as if they were right. It took carnage in the Middle East to demonstrate the error of their beliefs – an error they are still unwilling to acknowledge. People of the Balkans, who've constructed entire realities out of conflicting fabrications, are finding those "realities" increasingly fragile these days – and resort to even more fabrications, hysteria, and downright insanity to preserve them. If it weren't so tragic, it would be hilarious.

Fight near Kosovska Mitrovica bridge
KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - A group of Albanians and Serbs
got into a fight last night near the bridge which
separates them in Kosovska Mitrovica.
Eyewitnesses told Beta that a group of about 15 youths
from the southern, Albanian part of the city crossed
the bridge to the Serbian part and began to provoke
Serbs to fight.
A group of young men who regularly hang out near the
bridge on the northern side confronted the group of
Albanians and a fight broke out.
According to the most recent reports, there were no
injuries in the scuffle. Eyewitnesses say that UNMIK
and Kosovo Police Service officials intervened very
quickly, separated the two groups and made them leave
the scene of the fight.
Following the fight, about one hundred Serbian
citizens of Kosovska Mitrovica gathered at the north
side of the bridge and covered the path around it with
barbed wire.
They are protesting and are asking for the bridge to
be closed down again, stating that this incident shows
that the city is still not safe.
The bridge across the Ibar River in Kosovska Mitrovica
was reopened yesterday after a one-month blockade
because of a bombing incident occurring at a café on
the Serbian side of the city.

Kosovo tragedy results in humanitarian disaster in Europe’s centre
RHODES, Greece - Kosovo’s tragedy that has not been
averted yet, resulted in humanitarian catastrophe in
the very center of Europe and created difficult
problems for many people, the co-chair of the World
Public Forum “Dialogue of Civilizations” told a
plenary session on Thursday.
“The level of conflicts in the modern world has
extremely grown,” Vladimir Yakunin said.
“This is connected with the crisis of cooperation
between world elites, the failure to reach an
agreement and the loss of a common ground for
understanding that creates a favorable background for
simmering conflicts and new challenges and threats,”
he said.
“Global processes in the end of the twentieth century
divided world elites. One part follows ‘the
civilization of general human values’ that straddled a
wave of globalization. Another part of world elites
chose a path of self-determination,” Yakunin said.
He pointed out that the modern world faces such
decisions as if they were taken by people who are
deprived of any civilized identity or openly ignore
this identity in their decisions.
“This brings real political contradictions to a clash
of civilizations and triggers hot conflicts,” he said.
All this weakens the efficiency of such an important
world policy instrument as the United Nations, Yakunin
said. “It is important to strengthen the UN’s role,
boost its activity based on wider understanding of
people’s interests.”
The meeting that opened on Rhodes on Wednesday brought
together 600 politicians, public figures, scientists
and entrepreneurs from 60 countries.

Few Thousand Serbs Protest in Kosovska Mitrovica
Kosovska Mitrovica - A few thousand Serbs from the
northern part of Kosovo organized a protest under the
slogans ‘No to Independent Kosovo’, ‘No to Serbia’s
Partitioning’ and ‘No to Albanian Terrorism’, RTS
informs.
The protest took place on the Sumadija square, in the
northern part of Kosovska Mitrovica.
Later the protest march reached the main bridge over
the Ibar river which separates the northern (Serbian)
and southern (Albanian) parts.
After that the protesters dispersed. They were guarded
by Kosovo policemen and the bridge over the Ibar river
was closed.
Marko Jaksic, a member of the Serbian negotiating team
on Kosovo’s future said that the international
community is Kosovo’s [secessionits'] ally in the
talks on the region’s status.
He pointed out that the Albanians in Kosovo have
banished some 200,000 Serbs and have burnt down their
homes.
Mr. Jaksic also criticized USA’s policy on the Kosovo
issue, RTS notes.

Alekseev says Russia stands ready to use veto against
false decision on Kosovo
order to defend international law and the principle of
territorial integrity of countries if forced to do so,
Russian Ambassador to Serbia Aleksandar Nikolaevich
Alekseev said in an interview with Belgrade's
"Vecernje Novosti".
According to the Ambassador, Russia is committed to
reaching a solution based on international law, and
acceptable for both Serbia and Kosovo's Albanians.
"An imposed solution or setting deadlines for reaching
it, is totally unacceptable for Russia", Alekseev
said.
Moscow is committed for "submitting a proposal for the
final status to the UN Security Council, which would
be in line with international law, European security's
principles and crises management principles", Alekseev
added.
According to the ambassador, exercising the right of
veto at the UN Security Council is neither an
objective, nor a favorable scenario. "It would only be
used as a last resort", he said.
"In fact, Minister Lavrov has voiced a warning: Do not
force us to reach out for it", Alekseev explained.

Lavrov: Kosovo solution must be acceptable to Serbs, Albanians
MOSCOW - Russia will take a decision on the status of
Kosovo that will be acceptable for both Serbs and
Albanians, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said
at a press conference in Moscow on Tuesday.
"We may only accept an agreement on Kosovo's status
that is suitable for both Albanians in Kosovo, and
Serbs in Belgrade and Kosovo," the minister said,
adding that a decision on Kosovo's independence may
create a dangerous precedent.
"We are speaking about a precedent and about a
dangerous Pandora's box that will be opened by those
who are ready to ignore the position of one of the
party's in the case of Kosovo, but who take the
opposite position in other cases," Lavrov said.
It is a shortsighted position brought about by the
lacking ability to see ahead, which often complicates
the situation surrounding regions of concern, the
minister said.
"The main thing we are concerned about is that people
who try to impose a status on Kosovo see only one
step forward. Taking into consideration the many
situations developing in the world, we are
calling for a strategic outlook," Lavrov said.

Russia rejects Kosovo independence at PACE
Russia comes out against the recognition of Kosovo’s
independence at the level of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
This is what the deputy head of the Russian PACE
delegation Leonid Slutski said.
He says that Britain’s representative Lord Russell
Johnston has prepared a report, which for the first
time at a PACE level calls for the recognition of
Kosovo’s independence.
Russia believes that the recognition of Kosovo’s
independence at the level of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe will be regarded as
a concession to destructive forces, which earlier
urged PACE to recognize Chechnya’s independence.

Kosovo settlement depends on sides’ position, Lavrov says
STRASBOURG - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
said the Kosovo settlement depends on the sides’
position and not on what decisions are being taken in
the Contact Group.
Speaking at the PACE session on Wednesday, Lavrov
said, “It is necessary to solve this problem by talks,
in particular between the leadership of the province
and the national minority.”
On the U.N. Administration in Kosovo, the minister
stressed, “These international forces should be sent
to the province to prevent a bloodshed. But the U.N.
cannot govern in the province endlessly. In addition,
there are objections on the implementation of certain
resolutions on Kosovo.”
Commenting on the deployment of such administrations
in other conflict areas, Lavrov said, “There are no
reasons for this. In Abkhazia, South Ossetia and the
Dniester region the sides agreed themselves on methods
to promote the settlement.”
“It is necessary to work in the existing formats. This
is the unique way to ensure ‘frozen’ conflicts should
not grow ‘hot’,” the Russian minister pointed out.

Explosion damages home of Gorani minority members in
Kosovo, no injured
PRISTINA, Serbia - An explosion damaged the house of a
Gorani minority member in a southern Kosovo village,
but caused no injuries, police said Monday.
The government denounced Sunday's attack, and said
such incidents were aimed at destabilizing Kosovo amid
U.N.-led negotiations on the province's future status.
A key consideration during the talks has been Kosovo's
ability to provide security to minority groups.
"That criminal act serves those forces trying to
damage at any cost Kosovo's overall processes," the
government said in a statement.
The explosion caused "considerable material damage" to
the house in Rapqe e Nalte village, about 100
kilometers (62 miles) south of capital, Pristina,
police spokesman Veton Elshani said.
The Gorani owner of the house works with the Serbian
Coordination Center for Kosovo, a Serbian government
body working in the province.
Gorani is one of the minority groups among Kosovo's 2
million population, along with Serbs, Turks, Ashkali
and others. About 90 percent of the population is
ethnic Albanian.
Serbian media reported that the Gorani family hid in
the garage for safety after the house owner's daughter
saw the explosives in a bag in front of the house and
a car driving away.
Police said they thought there was no connection
between the blast and another explosion allegedly
connected to property ownership conflicts in the same
commune of Prizren.
Another explosion that injured four Serbs, and three
other bombings that damaged cars in mid-September
raised ethnic tensions amid ongoing status talks.
About 2,000-2,500 ethnic Serbs held a peaceful protest
Monday against the opening of a bridge across the Ibar
River linking the two communities in the ethnically
divided town of Kosovska Mitrovica, 45 kilometers (30
miles) north of Pristina, police said.
The bridge has been closed three times in the last two
months, following separate attacks on ethnic Serbs. It
was closed Monday during the demonstration, and
reopened when it was over.
U.N.-led negotiations to resolve Kosovo's status by
the end of the year have stalled, with both sides
unwilling to compromise on their demands.
Kosovo's ethnic Albanian leadership wants independence
in the status talks, while Belgrade has offered broad
autonomy while insisting Kosovo remain within Serb
territory. How to govern Kosovska Mitrovica is
expected to be another major sticking point.
Kosovo has been administered by the United Nations
since 1999, when NATO air strikes drove out Serb
troops.
An estimated 200,000 Serbs fled Kosovo after the
1988-99 conflict, fearing [unprovoked] attacks. Today,
only about 100,000 remain, most living in small,
isolated enclaves scattered around the province.

Kosovo: 30 SOEs privatized in 18th wave
Prishtinë [Pristina] - The Kosovo Trust Agency (KTA)
concluded the 18th wave of privatization, in which 30
Socially Owned Enterprises (SOEs) were tendered.
Only 21 of the tendered enterprises were sold, as for
some of them there were no offers. In this wave KTA
has tendered warehouses, veterinary stations, stores
and supermarkets.
According to KTA Managing Director Jasper Dick, visits
to several privatized SOEs have already started in
order see up-close how things are developing in
regards to investment and revitalization.
“I am very happy to say that the KTA has gathered over
€ 250 million from privatization and deposited it at
the Central Banking Authority of Kosovo (CBAK).
“So far, we have distributed 20% to employees of 26
SOEs. Back in September, we have paid €1 million to
the employees,” said KTA Managing Director Jasper
Dick, adding that a group of experts will soon review
the possibility of mending the regulation that deals
with the 20% share.
Following a decision of SRSG Joachim Ruecker, the
Morava e Binces premises located in Gjilan was
excluded from privatization.
The new company IFS Progres from Prizren was sold for
the highest price in this round of privatization, for
€4.45 million. The company Farm in Bajgora – KB 23
November, was sold for €32,400.
Although 10 enterprises in Peja were tendered for
privatization, only three of them have attracted
bidders. With this round, the Trust Fund is richer for
13.401.000 Euros.

Russia to EU: Don’t impose solutions
BRUSSELS, MOSCOW - Russia told the EU Kosovo solution
cannot be imposed on Serbia.
Moscow also said it would not support such a solution
neither within the Contact Group nor in the UN
Security Council. Beta has learned that Moscow
believes negotiations on a solution acceptable to both
parties should be continued in 2007, if one cannot be
reached in 2006.
Sources in Brussels have confirmed that the Russian
position has been relayed to some Contact Group
partners as well as to Martti Ahtisaari.
The Russian message states that the Contact Group has
asked Ahtisaari to provide a comprehensive solution
proposal, to be debated by the Group first.
Russia informed that this was acceptable, if following
the Contact Group debate, this proposal was to be
submitted to Priština and Belgrade with the aim of
encouraging both sides to improve the negotiating
process.
Sources in Brussels also say that Moscow sent a sort
of a demarche to the Finnish EU presidency,
emphasizing its position that the Contact Group, by
authorizing Ahtisaari to work out a proposal, in no
way meant to impose a solution on Serbia.
Russia also explained that any suggestion, such as
denying Serbia’s rights of a sovereign country, thus
undermining the negotiations with Belgrade, was
untenable.
European diplomatic sources, unwilling to confirm or
deny the existence of the Russian message to the EU,
suggested that the majority of the EU 25 member states
favored a compromise solution for Kosovo, meaning an
essentially limited sovereignty for the province,
without a seat at the UN.

Kosovo town square named after Austrian royal family
PRISTINA, Serbia - The coat of arms of the Austrian
royal family, the Habsburgs, was unveiled in the
Kosovo town of Decane on a square that was named after
the family, local media reported.
The family's 93-year-old representative, Otto Von
Habsburg-Lothringen, attended the ceremony and
unveiled the plaque with local officials.
During a two-day visit to the UN-run province of
Kosovo, Von Habsburg met senior international and
local officials in the capital Pristina, including
Prime Minister Agim Ceku.
He said he supported the desire of Kosovo's ethnic
Albanian majority to gain independence from Serbia.
"Kosovars should be proud of their place. Their
friends will support them in achieving their desire
for an independent state integrated into the
European Union," he said.
Technically still part of Serbia, Kosovo has been
administered by the United Nations since 1999, when a
NATO bombing campaign ended Belgrade's military
offensive against ethnic Albanian separatists.
Serbia considers Kosovo to be the cradle of its
history and culture and strongly opposes any bid for
independence.

Kosovo bishop hopes for Russian help on status issue
MOSCOW - Kosovo's Serbian Orthodox Bishop has
expressed hope that Russia will play a role in
protecting the rights of Serbians in Kosovo and
resolving the issue of Kosovo's status.
"Now Russia has grown even stronger than ten years
ago, and we hope that Russia's voice [in talks on
Kosovo] will be heard in New York and Washington,"
Bishop of the Raska and Prizren Eparchy Artemije
Radosavljevic said at a meeting with students at
Moscow State Technical University named after Bauman
on Wednesday.
The bishop noted the need to extend the terms for
holding talks on Kosovo's status, saying it is
impossible to settle the issue under the existing
schedule - thus by the end of the year - and that "we
are going to show everybody that in that case any
decision would have to be imposed."

UN to hand over bodies of 29 Serbs killed in Kosovo
UN authorities in Kosovo will today hand over to
families the bodies of 29 Serb civilians killed during
the 1998-99 conflict in the volatile province.
Most of the victims are believed to have been from the
western Kosovo towns of Orahovac and Opterusa, said UN
spokesman Neeraj Singh.
Previously, they all had been reported as missing.
Singh said a delegation of family members and Serbia’s
officials was to receive the bodies at Merdare
boundary crossing, some 25 miles north of Kosovo’s
capital, Pristina.
More than 2,000 people are still missing from the
Kosovo conflict in what remains one of the most
sensitive and emotionally-charged issues between the
two former foes.
Kosovo, legally part of Serbia, has been under UN
administration since mid-1999, when Nato’s air war
halted Serb forces’ crackdown on independence-seeking
ethnic Albanians.

ALBANIAN SEPARATISTS ON EDGE
In 2007 Kosovo will be a sovereign state with an
independent government and minimal international
presence.
That’s the point made earlier this week by the Kosovo
deputy premier and chief delegate at the ongoing talks
with Belgrade Lutfi Haziri.
Kosovo Prime Minister Agim is even less complacent,
saying that independence already this year is the only
option he is ready to discuss.
Russian expert Pyotr Iskenderov said that such radical
statements by leading Kosovo officials reflect the
growing sense of insecurity among the separatists
whose main curator, UN envoy Marti Ahtisaari, is
already saying that negotiations on the region’s
future status may take longer than was originally
expected.
The separatists have obviously been rattled by the
draft of Serbia’s new constitution put on a nationwide
referendum slated for later this month and where
Kosovo is proclaimed as an integral, autonomous, part
of the Serbian state.
Mr. Ahtisaari said he would wait for the results of
the October 28-29 plebiscite before moving on with
determining the region’s future status.
Moreover, Kosovo’s independence is radicalizing the
situation in the self-styled republics of the former
Soviet Union where the level of democratic freedoms is
way higher than the region’s Albanian separatist rules
can boast of.
And still, neither the UN, EU nor the OSCE are in any
rush to recognize their sovereign status.
On Tuesday the foreign minister of Transdnestr Valery
Litskai unveiled a plan by OSCE chairman Karel de
Gucht that is based on the territorial makeup of
Belgium, which as a confederative state, guarantees
equal rights to all of the country’s various ethnic
communities.

the Cerimaj brothers.
These remnants were found in a mass grave in Volujak
near Klina at the beginning of the last year.
The President of the Republican Commission Gvozden
Gagic is positive that these are proofs of the direct
responsibility of former Kosovo prime minister Ramush
Haradinaj for the kidnapping and death of people from
Orahovac.

Turkish Troops, Kosovans Hand in Hand
The Turkish battalion in Kosovo, operating under
command of the NATO-led international Kosovo peace
force continues to help Kosovans in many ways.
Turkish troops are admired by Kosovans for their help
in areas such as health, food distribution and
education and they also built and restored many
facilities.
They restored the Kirik Mosque, built by the Ottomans
when they conquered Kosovo, and built a park around
it.
Turkish troops also fixed cemeteries and built village
roads.
Every week, retired Kosovans are examined by doctors
and nurses from the Turkish battalion and their
medications are given.
They have built three mosques and three parks across
Kosovo so far and organized annual circumcision feasts
for needy and homeless children.
During Ramadan, Turkish troops delivered dinner to
Kosovans and provide stationery goods to students
every year through liaison offices.

Der Jugoslawienkrieg
Eine Bilanz nach dem Tod von Slobodan Milosevic
und dem Prozess vor dem UN-Tribunal in Den Haag
Vortrags- und Diskussionsveranstaltung
mit Cathrin Schütz aus Frankfurt und dem
holländischen Dokumentarfilm „Der Fall Milosevic“
von Jos de Putter und Germinal Civikov
„Über eines habe ich mich immer gewundert: wie wenig wahrgenommen worden ist, dass die Entscheidung zum Krieg eine fundamentale Veränderung der deutschen Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik bedeutet hat. Ich behaupte: Keine andere Regierung als unsere hätte sie so treffen können und so ausgehalten.“ (Bundeskanzler Schröder zum Jugoslawienkrieg im Spiegel 23/1999)
Der Krieg gegen Jugoslawien, der als „humanitäre Militäraktion“ gerechtfertigt wurde, wirkt bis heute nach. Er ist eine entscheidende Weichenstellung für bundesdeutsche Kriegseinsätze. Auf der Veranstaltung werden wir den Blick zurückwerfen auf den Nato-Krieg 1999 und den Prozess gegen den früheren jugoslawischen Präsidenten Slobodan Milosevic vor dem UN-Tribunal in Den Haag. Vor diesem Hintergrund beleuchten wir auch die aktuelle deutsche Militärpolitik.
Die Referentin Cathrin Schütz ist Diplom-Politologin. Ende 2003 erschien ihr Buch „Die Nato-Intervention in Jugoslawien. Hintergründe, Nebenwirkungen und Folgen“. Sie arbeitete als Beraterin im Verteidigungsteam von Slobodan Milosevic.

Regime Titino e Democrazia Italiana
A PROPOSITO DI REGIMI
Nel corso di una tavola rotonda sul tema della “informazione di
frontiera”, organizzata a Trieste con la partecipazione del direttore
del “Manifesto” Gabriele Polo, abbiamo sentito il giornalista, nonché
noto esponente politico sloveno di etnia italiana Franco Juri,
esprimere il seguente concetto, che noi sintetizziamo per renderlo
più chiaro: per fortuna che il “regime titino” aveva garantito a noi,
minoranza italiana in Jugoslavia, determinati canoni di tutela che
noi abbiamo poi potuto far valere, in termini di diritti acquisiti,
perché la democrazia non ce li avrebbe sicuramente concessi.
Dunque secondo Juri il “regime titino” (negativo, si suppone, in
quanto “regime” che andava cambiato) aveva garantito ad una
componente della popolazione diritti civili di tale portata che non
sarebbero state garantite da quella “democrazia” per la quale tutta
la “dissidenza” jugoslava aveva lottato, arrivando al risultato
finale di sfasciare la Jugoslavia, portare il libero mercato nelle
repubbliche indipendenti (con la conseguente eliminazione di buona
parte dello stato sociale garantito prima dal “regime”, come accade
in quasi tutte le “democrazie” del mondo capitalista, fatti salvi
pochi casi come la Danimarca), ed avere portato in alcune di queste
anche la guerra civile. Ci chiediamo a questo punto cosa intenda Juri
per “regime” e cosa intenda per “democrazia”, e cosa abbia di più
positivo, rispetto ad un “regime”, una “democrazia” che non riconosce
ai propri cittadini gli stessi diritti che gli garantiva il deprecato
“regime”.
Ma è un concetto generale (non solo di Franco Juri) che la Jugoslavia
fosse stata un “regime”, nonostante sia riconosciuto che aveva
garantito cinquant’anni di pace, di stato sociale, di diritto allo
studio e di riconoscimento alle minoranze etniche.
Ora, ci chiediamo, cosa distingue un “regime” da una “democrazia”? Il
“regime titino” garantiva diritti alle minoranze etniche, mentre dopo
sessant’anni la “democrazia” italiana deve ancora decidere in quali
termini la comunità slovena della nostra regione possa godere di una
legge di tutela. Nella “democratica” Italia è accaduto che un
anarchico sia precipitato dal quarto piano della questura di Milano,
senza che su questa tragedia sia mai stata fatta chiarezza, così come
non è mai stata fatta chiarezza, essendo stato invocato il segreto di
stato, su varie stragi, da piazza Fontana ad Ustica. Il “regime
titino” ha prodotto i campi di prigionia di Goli Otok dove i
prigionieri politici venivano maltrattati, umiliati e picchiati; ci
furono dei periodi, nella “democratica” Italia, quando i prigionieri
politici venivano pure sottoposti a violenze, ricordiamo lo scandalo
delle torture inflitte negli anni Sessanta agli indipendentisti
sudtirolesi, il caso del brigatista Di Lenardo che nel 1981 denunciò
le violenze cui fu sottoposto dopo il suo arresto, l’uccisione da
parte di corpi speciali di polizia del ricercato (sarebbe stato
prosciolto se fosse arrivato al processo) Pietro Greco in mezzo alla
strada a Trieste nel 1985, ricordiamo, per chiudere, cos’è accaduto a
Genova nel 2001. Ed accenniamo ancora al vergognoso comportamento di
alcuni militari in missione “di pace” in Somalia nel 1994, denunciati
per avere fatto violenza a delle donne con razzi illuminanti e
fotografati mentre applicavano elettrodi ad un ragazzo nudo. Dove lo
scandalo peggiore non è che tanto che questi abusi siano avvenuti,
quanto il fatto che i responsabili non siano stati doverosamente puniti.
Aggiungiamo infine che mentre sotto il “regime titino” il sistema
sanitario e scolastico in Jugoslavia funzionava, oggi, nell’Italia
“democratica” così come nella Slovenia “democratica”, scuola e sanità
fanno schifo ugualmente.
Abbiamo esternato parte di queste nostre riflessioni nel corso della
serata di presentazione della mostra “Jugostalgija”, cioè una mostra
sulla nostalgia per la Jugoslavia, apertasi ad Opicina il 18 agosto
scorso. Questa mostra raccoglie “pezzi di Jugoslavia”, mobili,
elettrodomestici, libri, libri di scuola, giornali, scatole di
prodotti tipici della Jugoslavia tra gli anni Sessanta ed Ottanta,
tesserini e distintivi di associazioni varie, in modo tale da
ricostruire degli “ambienti” di vita jugoslavi dell’epoca. Diciamo
subito che, fatti salvi i ritratti di Tito, le bandiere ed i libri di
testo (molto migliori dei nostri, ci si consenta...), il resto
dell’arredamento non era molto dissimile da quello delle case dei
ceti medi italiani, il che fa pensare che, quantomeno da un punto di
vista economico, sotto il “regime titino” non si stava troppo male.
Quasi tutti i relatori del convegno hanno tenuto a precisare che la
nostalgia delle popolazioni di Slovenia e Croazia va non tanto al
“regime” jugoslavo quanto alle condizioni di vita nel periodo
jugoslavo. Ma, obiettiamo noi, le condizioni di vita di un Paese,
sono determinate da chi sta al governo, lo stato sociale jugoslavo
era evidentemente garantito dal “regime titino”, e allora se era il
“regime titino” che garantiva lo stato sociale di cui hanno oggi
nostalgia gli ex-jugoslavi, perché mai non si dovrebbe avere
nostalgia anche del “regime”, se la “democrazia” fa vivere peggio?
Alle nostre riflessioni ha così risposto Giorgio Rossetti, già
europarlamentare del PCI, ora diessino: “anche la democrazia è un
regime, si tratta di capire l’uso dei termini”.
Benissimo: anche la democrazia è un regime. Perché allora si usa il
termine “regime” solo quando si sottintende dare un giudizio di
negatività ad un governo? e perché per l’Italia non si dice mai che
sotto il “regime democristiano”, abbiamo vissuto la strategia della
tensione, sotto il “regime social-craxiano” abbiamo vissuto
Tangentopoli, ed il “regime berlusconiano” ci ha portato con le
truppe in mezzo mondo, ci ha dato Genova 2001 ed ha impoverito il
Paese? ed oggi se qualcuno parla di “regime ulivista”, come viene
visto dai “benpensanti” al potere?
Noi siamo dell’opinione che la Jugoslavia è stato un esperimento, un
tentativo (non fu socialismo nella vera accezione del termine, su
questo siamo d’accordo) di governare in maniera diversa, e che è
purtroppo (e ribadiamo il purtroppo) fallito per questioni che sono
dipese relativamente dagli equilibri e dalla situazione interni;
piuttosto il suo crollo fu provocato da pressioni ed intrighi a
livello internazionale, dato che una Jugoslavia politicamente
autogestita, economicamente non sottoposta al controllo delle
multinazionali e che ricopriva un riconosciuto ruolo di paese guida
nell’ambito dei paesi non allineati, doveva assolutamente sparire nel
momento in cui veniva a crollare il sistema dei due blocchi Est –
Ovest, e si stava realizzando il sistema del Nuovo ordine mondiale
teorizzato da Bush padre.
Ma pensiamo che a distanza di tanti anni da questi eventi, almeno la
sinistra potrebbe cercare di analizzare quanto accaduto parlandone al
di là di quei luoghi comuni che hanno l’unico effetto di appiattire
la storia e di avallare la vulgata corrente che vede tutte le
“ideologie” come negative e da gettare, perché è in questo modo che
ha preso piede il vigente pensiero qualunquista che ci impedisce di
migliorare la nostra situazione di vita.

Kommunistische Jugend (KSM)
durch tschechische Regierung verboten!
Wie der Kommunistische Jugendverband (KSM) der Tschechischen Republik mitteilt, hat die tschechische Regierung mit Datum vom 12. Oktober ihre Drohung wahrgemacht und die Organisation offiziell für aufgelöst erklärt. Am 16. Oktober ging bei der KSM ein Schreiben des Innenministeriums ein, laut dem die Organisation für aufgelöst erklärt wurde. Wir dokumentieren das Schreiben der tschechischen GenossInnen im Wortlaut:
Liebe Genossen,
Die "Kommunistische Union der Jugend der Tschechischen Republik" (KSM) ist durch die Staatsmacht am 12. Oktober 2006 offiziell aufgelöst worden.
Am 16. Oktober 2006 hat der KSM einen Brief vom Innenministerium Tschechiens erhalten, der verkündet, dass das Ministerium für Inneres den KSM auflöste. Es geschah trotz einer großen Kampagne gegen die Bedrohung der Illegalisierung der Organisation von jungen Kommunisten in Tschechien.
Tausende von Bürgern Tschechiens unterzeichneten eine Petition gegen den Versuch des Innenministeriums, den KSM für ungesetzlich zu erklären. Der Protest gegen ein Verbot des KSM wurde in Tschechien unter anderem von ehemaligen antifaschistischen Kämpfern, Studentenorganisationen, politischen Parteien und NGO's unterstützt. Großer Widerstand im Ausland entstand durch den Versuch des Ministeriums für Inneres den KSM für ungesetzlich zu erklären. Hunderte von bedeutenden Jugend- und Studentenorganisationen, Gewerkschaften und politischen Parteien zusammen mit Tausenden von Menschen protestierten beim Innenministerium und den Botschaften Tschechiens in ihren Staaten. Die Solidarität mit dem KSM wurde durch eine große Zahl von Mitgliedern von Parlamenten, berühmten Intellektuellen und Persönlichkeiten wie Nobelpreisträger Dario Fo, dem Zapatisten-Sprecher Marcos oder Sänger Bono Vox von U2 ausgedrückt. Demonstrationen zur Unterstutzung des KSM wurden vor Botschaften Tschechiens in vielen Ländern der Welt organisiert. Die "World Federation of Democratic Youth" initiierte einen Internationalen Tag der Solidarität mit dem KSM am 27. Februar 2006.
Das Ministerium für Inneres bestritt ursprünglich den Status des KSM als Verein unter dem Vorwand, dass die Absichten und Tätigkeit des KSM einen Bereich betreffen, der für die politischen Parteien reserviert sei. Das Innenministerium stellte weiter fest, dass das Verhalten des KSM ungesetzlich war, weil es auf der wissenschaftlichen Basis von Marx, Engels und Lenin beruhe und öffentlich die Notwendigkeit der sozialistischen Revolution proklamiert.
Dennoch benutzte das Ministerium für Inneres keines jener Argumente für die Auflösung des KSM. Der einzige Grund, der offiziell zur Auflösung des KSM geführt hat, ist, dass der KSM in seinem Programm über die Notwendigkeit der Ersetzung des privaten Besitzes von Produktionsmitteln mit dem Kollektiveigentum an Produktionsmitteln nachdenkt.
Der KSM widersetzt sich seiner amtlichen Auflösung durch die Staatsmacht und ist dabei, den Kampf für die Rechte der Mehrheit junger Menschen, Studenten, junger Arbeiter und Arbeitsloser - und für den Sozialismus fortzusetzen! Der KSM ist dabei, die Entscheidung des Ministeriums bei Gericht anzufechten.
Die Illegalisierung des KSM wurde in einer Atmosphäre von militanter antikommunistischer Hexenjagd, verschiedener antikommunistischer Kampagnen und Angriffe und neuerlichen Aufrufen zur Kriminalisierung der Kommunistischen Partei von Böhmen und Mähren (KSCM) begangen. Die Entscheidung des Innenministeriums wurde nur eine Woche vor Lokal- und Senatsahlen verwirklicht, an denen der KSCM teilnimmt.
Liebe Genossen und Freunde,
Es ist notwendig, international gegen diesen Illegalisierung und Kriminalisierung der kommunistischen Bewegung in Tschechien aufzustehen. Wir bitten euch deshalb eure Solidarität mit dem KSM auszudrücken und gegen diesen beispiellosen Schritt des Innenministeriums Tschechiens bei den Botschaften Tschechiens in euren Ländern zu protestieren. (...) Wir bitten euch gleichzeitig, uns über eure Tätigkeiten per E-Mail (international(at)ksm.cz) oder Fax (++420 222 897 449) zu informieren.
Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit folgende Petitionen zu unterschreiben: http://4ksm.kke.gr (initiated by the Communist Party of Greece) http://wfdy-ksm.kne.gr (initiated by the World Federation of Democratic Youth)
Wir bitten euch darum, die Information über den undemokratischen Akt der tschechischen Staatsmacht in den Medien in euren Ländern zu veröffentlichen.
Wir danken euch auch für jeden anderen Akt der Solidarität.
Mit internationaler Unterstützung ist es möglich und es ist überlebenswichtig, alle antikommunistischen und undemokratischen Angriffe zu vereiteln!
Hoch die Internationale Solidarität!

KARL MARX – FRIEDRICH ENGELS
Le strambe teorie del dott. Pansa
Le tesi di fondo di Pansa sono due.
1. l'Italia è stata liberata dagli Americani,
2. i fascisti erano i italiani che combattevano in difesa di … al
pari di altri italiani che combattevano
per .. .
Non dice però in difesa di che i fascisti e per cosa gli altri:
dimenticanze.
La Resistenza in sé è un mito e se episodi vi sono stati sono stati
stupri, violenze, eccidi, crimini.
Questo significa che l'avanzata americana è avvenuta scontrandosi
con i fascisti ed i nazisti e quindi parte dei morti americani in
Italia sono stati uccisi dai fascisti.
I fascisti, quindi, erano i nemici degli americani.
Che fa Pansa si mette contro gli Usa?
L'esaltazione, la difesa dei fascisti è allora lo stare dalla parte
dei nemici degli Usa, contro l'operato degli americani in Italia nel
periodo 1943-45. Ma tale tesi si oppone all'altra tesi, sostenuta
nel libro, secondo la quale l'Italia è stata liberata dagli
americani; avrebbe dovuto dire " occupata" dagli americani e non "
liberata". Se " liberata", siamo stati liberati anche dai fascisti.
I fascisti sono allora quelli che occupano e che devono essere
cacciati per poter liberare l'Italia e chi si oppone è nemico
dell'Italia stessa, che deve essere liberata.
I fascisti non sono nemici dell'Italia e degli americani, non hanno
ucciso soldati americani che lottavano per liberare l'Italia, se e
solo se i fascisti non vi si sono opposti. Ed in questo caso i
fascisti come entità storica nel periodo 1943-45 non esistono.
Esistono allora solo i tedeschi che si oppongono all'avanzata
americana in Italia.
Diventano allora falsi i comunicati dei fascisti di Salò, falsi i
comunicati tedeschi in Italia, i comunicati delle SS tedesche, e dei
vari stati maggiori di divisioni tedesche sui " Banditi", ossia i
Partigiani. Che cosa sono prove fabbricate a Mosca?
Se questi comunicati sono falsi, e quindi i Partigiani non
esistevano come entità militare e storica, cosa sono i fatti delle "
fosse Ardeatine", " Marzabotto", ecc. ecc. ecc.? Ovviamente
Cefalonia è attacco della marina sovietica contro gli italiani, ecc.
ecc. ecc. !
Se tutti questi fatti e comunicati sono veri, allora sono veri i
Partigiani, la Resistenza e con essi i fascisti ed i nazisti che in
blocco operavano contro l'Italia e gli americani.
Ancora.
La tesi di Pansa è in assoluta opposizione al Codice
Militare di Guerra ( l'Italia in quel periodo era in guerra, almeno
questo Pansa lo concede? ) e l'azione dei fascisti si configura,
secondo il Codice Militare di Guerra, come alto tradimento,
intellezione con il nemico, collaborazione con le truppe nemiche che
occupano il suolo d'Italia, punito con la fucilazione sul posto.
L'Italia l'8 settembre. 1943 stipula la resa alle truppe anglo-
americane e nelle clausole della resa vi era la partecipazione
dell'Italia alla guerra contro la Germania ed il Giappone.
L'esercito italiano, l'Italia è così schierata in campo con gli
anglo-americani e contro la Germania. La 2a guerra mondiale vede
adesso da un lato: sovietici, anglo-americani, francesi, canadesi,
ecc. e tedeschi e giapponesi. Questi sono dall'8 settembre gli
schieramenti in campo, queste le alleanze.
Questo determina ipso facto che qualsiasi rapporto di amicizia,
sostegno passivo o non riferimento alle autorità di azioni e notizie
in possesso circa i tedeschi si configura come tradimento e
qualsiasi sostegno o solo notizie a tedeschi come azione di
spionaggio, collaborazione, attiva azione militare. Il Codice
Militare di Guerra prevede fino alla fucilazione sul posto per
spionaggio ed azione militare con il nemico; l'accusa e
consequenziale condanna è per TRADIMENTO.
{ Il Codice Militare di Guerra è uguale in tutti i paesi. }.
Ancora.
Posta vera la tesi di Pansa non si comprende il Trattato
di Pace che riconosce all'Italia lo status di Paese belligerante e
quindi le favorevoli condizioni di pace.
Al tavolo delle trattative sarà la sola Gran Bretagna che vi si
opporrà, ricusando le clausole dell'accordo dell'8. settembre e si
farà strenua sostenitrice di pesanti condizioni di resa e
mutilazioni territoriali. E sarà solo la posizione dura,
inconciliabile, dell'Unione delle Repubbliche Socialiste Sovietiche,
U.R.S.S., che costringerà gli Usa a spostarsi sulle posizioni
dell'Italia paese belligerante, ed opponendosi alla Gran Bretagna,
isolerà Churchill, imponendogli il riconoscimento all'Italia di
Paese belligerante.
Adesso delle due l'una:
o De Gasperi, che rappresentava l'Italia al tavolo delle trattative
di pace, doveva essere un gran buffone se si oppone alla Gran
Bretagna e porta a sostegno del dover riconoscere all'Italia lo
status di paese belligerante le azioni militari della Resistenza, le
dichiarazioni degli Stati maggiori delle varie divisioni anglo-
americane e dei generali inglesi ed americani e tutti gli altri
dovevano proprio essere il concentrato della fessaggine se si sono
bevuti le panzane di De Gasperi,
oppure Pansa mente spudoratamente.
Per quanto attiene, infine, la riconciliazione.
Esiste un ben preciso atto dello Stato italiano a firma del Ministro
di Grazia e Giustizia, Palmiro Togliatti, che va sotto il nome di
Amnistia ed approvato dal Parlamento della Repubblica Italiana,
proprio, e specificamente, in riferimento al tradimento contemplato
nel Codice Militare di Guerra.
Pansa sostiene che il suo intento è quello di dare voce ai
vinti, di volersi mettere dalla parte dei vinti.
Cosa questa del tutto legittima ed utile per avere la doppia visione
di quel periodo, per capire come venivano lette le cose dall'altra
parte, " oltre la collina".
Questo metodo d'indagine è stato applicato in maniera magistrale, e
ne costituisce metodo nuovo d'indagine specie nel campo della
Scienza Militare, da Liddel Hart, il " Clausewitz del XX secolo",
fine stratega, ideatore assieme ad altri della tattica militare "
avanzata a fiume in piena", che consiste nella combinazione
dell'azione militare della fanteria e dell'aviazione e del nuovo
ruolo dei carri armati, come la nuova cavalleria, che sarà poi posta
a base della tattica militare del III Reich ed il cui massimo
esperto nazista fu Guderian. I generali e gli ammiragli nazisti
erano prigionieri degli Alleati e questo permise a Liddel Hart di
interrogarli. Le campagne di Francia, dell'Urss, d'Africa, dei
Balcani vengono ripercorse nella particolarissima ottica, passata al
vaglio di un oggettivo filtro critico, dell'esercito sconfitto.
Il testo di Liddel Hart è " Storia di una Sconfitta" ( Bur editore ).
Testo poderoso, che a distanza di cinquant'anni ancora ci si ritorna
per questioni di metodo, oltre che come strumento di lavoro di
indagine sulla 2a guerra mondiale.
Ma non costituisce in alcun modo giustificazione o una qualche
accettazione o una qualche legittimazione dell'operato nazista. Le
responsabilità non vengono affatto attenuate e meno che mai
controbilanciate da responsabilità vere o presunte degli Alleati nel
corso della guerra. L'azione di Hart è sempre presente ed interviene
come filtro critico, giacché egli stesso è in grado di ben intendere
e filtrare quanto la parte " interessata" nazista ha interesse a
presentare.
Ed in questo modo, effettivamente i vinti hanno voce, ed i vinti
concorrono alla comprensione dei processi avvenuti ed i vinti
concorrono all'elaborazione della scienza militare, giacché ci si
arrichisce di una importante esperienza: la lettura delle due
angolazioni di lettura di uno stesso processo ed il seguire il fatto
stesso seguendo le due angolazioni di lettura costituisce un
importante bagaglio di esperienza teorica.
Ben altra cosa da Pansa.
Avrebbe avuto a disposizione, se il suo vero intento era quello di
dare voce ai vinti, un vasto materiale teorico, una salda struttura
teorica e metodologica e documentale su cui poggiare le ricerche,
gli studi.
E così anche da questo versante Pansa fallisce, naufraga.
E tutto si configura come operazione ideologica, che si è cercato di
imbellettare, di vestire a festa, ma si presenta come prodotto
genuino, sincero delle altezze a cui riesce a giungere la piccineria
provinciale dell'intellettualità italiana, i " Franza o Alemagna,
basta che se magna" e che ben ha fermato Antonio Gramsci, ne " I
quaderni dal Carcere – Gli Intellettuali".
Il lavoro di Pansa non ha così alcuna sostanzialità teorico-storica
e meno teorico-metodologica e si configura unicamente come ideologia.
Ed in verità è tanto smaccato tale progetto che oramai ogni
tentativo è infantile e sguaitamente evidente:
l'attacco alla Resistenza è l'attacco alla Costituzione.
Si denigra, sminuisce, attacca, calunnia, mistifica la Resistenza
per poter poi attaccare la Costituzione.
Hanno perso il referendum e ci riprovano!
Tutto qui.

Lo scrittore: disonorate la Resistenza Skinhead di sinistra e partigiani, rissa per Pansa Calci e pugni, lo scrittore: disonorate la Resistenza
Giampaolo Pansa
REGGIO EMILIA — È la prima presentazione de «La grande bugia. Le sinistre italiane e il sangue dei vinti», il libro in testa alle classifiche. Giampaolo Pansa ha scelto Reggio Emilia, «città di misteri, terra del triangolo della morte», e ha invitato il cronista del Corriere a intervistarlo. L’autore esordisce rievocando quanto è accaduto un anno fa, in questa stessa sala dell’hotel Astoria, al termine della presentazione del suo penultimo libro, «Sconosciuto 1945». «Si alzò un signore sulla sessantina e disse: "Io non mi sento un cittadino di serie A. Sono solo un cittadino di serie B. Perché da sessant’anni cerco le ossa di mio padre, e non le ho ancora trovate».
In quel momento nella sala entra un giovane dalla testa rasata, scaraventa una copia de «La grande bugia» sul tavolo, si avventa contro Pansa e urla: «Io sono un cittadino di serie A, e lei ha scritto un libro infame per fare soldi sulle spalle della Resistenza! ». Entrano di corsa venti giovani dei centri sociali, alcuni di Reggio, altri venuti da Roma. Lunghi capelli con le treccine, pugni chiusi. Occupano la sala, srotolano striscioni rossi con le scritte «Revisionisti assassini» e «Ora e sempre Resistenza», cantano in coro «Bella Ciao».
La sala è strapiena, e ognuno reagisce a modo suo. Un gruppo di ragazzi di destra si scaglia contro i contestatori, tenta di strappare le bandiere rosse, volano spintoni e insulti. Ma pure alcuni ex partigiani si ribellano: «Siamo comunisti da cinquant’anni ma siamo qui per ascoltare Pansa, se non lo fate parlare siete peggio dei fascisti!». Altre botte, altri insulti. Dalla prima fila, dove siedono tra gli altri il direttore della Mondadori Gian Arturo Ferrari, quello della Sperling Marco Ferrario, Paolo Pisanò, l’avvocato Odoardo Ascari e l’editorialista di Repubblica Edmondo Berselli, alcuni si alzano per stringersi attorno a Pansa, che però rifiuta di abbandonare la sala: «Sono qui per incontrare i miei lettori reggiani e non mi lascerò intimidire da un gruppo di intolleranti».
Il cronista del Corriere tenta di convincere i più disponibili al dialogo a leggere un comunicato e andarsene. «La sala è occupata, sarete voi ad andarvene! ». Altri cori di Bella Ciao, minacce, tafferugli con i fotografi. Vengono distribuiti volantini: «Pansa prezzolato/ con l’infamia c’hai speculato». Dalla sala ritmano: «Libertà! ». I ragazzi dei centri sociali urlano: «Viva i fratelli Cervi! Viva Giorgio Bocca!». Coro di «buuu». Pansa tenta di farli ragionare: «Non state rendendo un servizio alla memoria dei partigiani». Alla fine arrivano tre volanti della polizia e la sala viene sgomberata.
Lungo applauso per Pansa, che a tarda sera può cominciare a parlare. «Sono contento di quanto è avvenuto. Perché indica di quale carica d’odio sia intrisa la vita pubblica italiana, e quanti pregiudizi ideologici facciano velo al dibattito libero sulla storia. L’importante è comportarsi come abbiamo fatto noi stasera: restare calmi, non lasciarci intimidire, e rendere ognuno libero di esprimere la sua opinione. Loro, e noi».

INTERDICTION DE LA JC TCHEQUE: NOUVELLE ETAPE DANS LA FASCISATION DE L U.E. DU CAPITAL
Les camarades de la JCT (KSM) nous informent que l'Etat "démocratique" tchèque vient de dissoudre leur organisation malgré la campagne internationale de solidarité avec les jeunes communistes tchèques. Cela en dit long sur la prétendue "révolution de velours antitotalitaire" à Prague; il s'agit bel et bien d'une contre-révolution de plus en plus ouvertement fascisante qui utilise des moyens dictatoriaux, dans le silence complice des grands "démocrates occidentaux", pour se débarrasser de ceux qui résistent au nouvel Empire européen et à la restauration de l'exploitation capitaliste à Prague. Cette décision s'inscrit dans la campagne euromaccarthyste ouverte par l'adoption du rapport Lindblad par le conseil de l'Europe, qui tend à criminaliser le communisme à l'égal du nazisme en diabolisant le premier et en banalisant le second au mépris des immenses sacrifices consentis par l'URSS et par les résistants communistes pour abattre le monstre fasciste. Le PRCF appelle les démocrates de France à condamner cette décision et à soutenir les jeunes communistes tchèques qui ne vont certainement pas rester inactifs face à cette mesure scélérate tournée contre la classe ouvrière de toute l'Union européenne.
Plus que jamais, il est impossible de se leurrer sur la possibilité de "réorienter" l'UE vers "l'Europe sociale". Il faut sortir la France de cet Empire fascisant, anticommuniste, antiouvrier et dangereux pour la paix et les libertés!
Communistes, démocrates de tous les pays, unissons-nous! travaillons à la reconstitution du Front anti-impérialiste mondial et du Mouvement communiste inter, détruits par l'opportunisme et par la trahison gorbatchévienne!
