The controversy that these days the protagonist Councillor Chiofalo, who has spoken strongly against the leaflet distributed at the event on Sunday 13 from Group Jägerstätter and Emergency, which proposes a very serious problem for the past three years, presents to parents, teachers and all citizens of Pisa: the initiative "Solidarity Day", which actually takes place with the visit of children between three to thirteen years in the barracks of the Thunderbolt.
The "culture of peace" that Councillor Chiofalo offers us, with all the Municipal Board of Pisa, is a deep distortion of the terms and expressions, confusing concepts and values, and masking with words peaceful expression derives a militarist who is imposing on our country for years, and which reverses the common sense of things.
wars in foreign countries thus become "peace-keeping operations " meaning "restoration of peace," the military occupation becomes "mission of peace and solidarity", the Italian soldiers are presented as the 'only solution for those people devastated by war that just us Westerners, for our economic and strategic interests, we have brought, as if to bring solidarity and health care, education, hospital was not necessary to scale up interventions civilians (as evidenced by the efforts of Emergency and all the volunteer organizations working to bring aid to those populations) rather than the military expenditures and arms missions.
In recent years, resources for education, health, public services have been tortured, while increasing military spending and is expected to cost around € 13 billion until 2026 for the purchase of 131 F35 fighter-bombers (but were cut 8 billion for public schools and one billion for the university in the period 2008-2011) "This is the" culture of peace "that is proposed? Because the city of Pisa, the PD and Alderman Chiofalo, do not propose a different view from that of the hypocritical "peace operations", why not call for the withdrawal of military from the places where our young people continue to die in combat missions and military occupations? Would not it be fairer to build education programs in which children are educated about the true solidarity and sympathy with the weapons and barracks, instead of being manipulated by propaganda operations hidden behind the taste understandable and undeniable pain for the young people who died in distant wars?
What schools are involved in these operations is outrageous that children of compulsory school are subjected to these operations is worrying us the question arises (euphemistically) that the attention and renewed momentum of the Municipality of Pisa to the barracks in the city is connected to the honor that the Mayor considers Filippeschi recklessly to express choice of Pisa as a node in the military (international, the HUB), which will see the enlargement of the military in connection with Camp Darby and available to the transport of American and NATO troops to the crisis scenarios.
For these reasons, the Cobas demand, consistent with its position against war, for the withdrawal of our troops from war zones and the reduction of military expenditure, so that investments are for education, health dismantled and public services, which visit the schools to the barracks of the Thunderbolt April 27 is canceled, and that the initiative will turn into a day of true solidarity in the city, with the participation of all citizens' associations engaged in solidarity.
I therefore a proposal to the associations, cities and citizens in pacifists and Democrats, unions and political forces, to his parents to call a town meeting from which to launch a counter based on real values \u200b\u200bof peace and solidarity.
