The Division Admiral (res.) Nicola De Felice, of the board of the League of the Lazio Region, tomorrow organized a demonstration in front of the German embassy in Rome to represent the dissent of the Italians to the support of the German government as flag state for the German NGO ships Sea Watch 3, 4, Alan Kurdi and Louise Michel Bansky.
Thus in a note received at the editorial office: "I will hand over to the German ambassador, Victor Elbling, an open letter addressed to the German people".
Dear German brothers,
"tell your government to stop German NGOs from actively promoting XNUMXst century slave trafficking across the Mediterranean Sea. Ask your government, your representatives, not to be part of it.
This lucrative trafficking is conducted by powerful international criminal organizations with terminals on both sides of this shameful trade: Africa and Europe. Hundreds of thousands of young Africans and Asians have been brought to Europe where a future of crime, drug trafficking, prostitution, slavery and misery awaits them. Is all this human? Can this bring peace to the consciences of those who finance these missions? Reality hurts.
Remind your government where the problem lies. It's where the traffic starts. And that is where your NGOs must be present: in Africa, in Libya, in Tunisia, in Bangladesh. To get to know the concentration camps run by outlawed governments, to prove the cruelty of the slave market auctions. Tell the leaders of your government and your churches that sending ships makes them accomplices and promoters of death at sea, not rescuers.
Dear brothers Tedeschi, become aware and face together with us Italians with judgment and common sense the phenomenon of clandestine migration, together we can do much and better. Let's do it for the good of Africa and for the love we have for our children.
The peoples are still there, and they know that the market is not everything and does not contain everything and in any case it does not contain the most important things in life."
