The letter of Collective Liberation Italy Central America published by July 26, 2008 and the response of Vladimir Luxuria.
Dear Vladimir, go to the island and leave the natives
Dear friends of "Liberation", dear friends of the PRC, we are deeply outraged by the decision of Mr Vladimir Luxuria, elected to the House for the Communist PRC, to participate in the reality show of the famous island. We are even more outraged to read the words (and light) with which Luxuria has justified its selection in an interview with Corriere della Sera, in a speech on the columns of Liberation: "I thought the phone off the sea, the beach , no noise of cars. I said to myself: why not? It will be like to be enrolled for military service. I did not do it because I am a pacifist and then I make horror weapons, camouflage, gray-green helmets. For me to go on the island will be how to make the military. " Dear Vladimir, on those beaches you'll certainly true Honduran soldiers in camouflage: Honduran army are the ones that protect you and your fellow adventurers will prevent, as was done in previous years, local people, fishermen, indigenous Afro, the Garifuna, their access to the sea. The sea in which the fish need to survive. We are sorry that you did not say a word for the local population, a minority whose rights, first and foremost, the survival, are threatened by this reality. We regret that we spend in favor of a lobby of big companies, those that are building mega-holiday villages in the area of \u200b\u200bBahia de Tela, near Cayos Cochinos those wonderful that your island will be home of the famous: among them there the Italian Astaldi, and is That's why last year our country has developed a campaign against the 'Island of the Famous - lisolaeilmattone.blogspot.com. Yes, because the transmission is nothing but a giant commercial for those beaches, which will soon be able to go on vacation, in Italian villages, wealthy Italian citizens regardless of trampling the rights of those living in those lands for about two hundred years. Finally, we regret that you - a Member of the Communist-PRC has not participated in past years to any of the initiatives that the Collective Italy Central America (www.puchica.org) organized to shed light on the affair of the Garifuna people and the shadows of 'Island of the Famous. Above all, we regret that you missed the press conference with the Garifuna Alfredo Lopez, of the Organizacion Fraternal de los Pueblos Negros de Honduras, organized together with the senators in the Senate of the PRC Communist Francesco Martone and José Luis Rojo Del Foreign Affairs of PRC and the manager, Fabio Amato. You might have taken another decision, maybe you'd better weighted.
Luca Martinelli, Federica Rogan, Thomas Viehweider for Collective Italy Central America
Dear comrades of the Collective Italy Central America, I also know, maybe not as much as you, the problems of indigenous peoples and lands confiscated for build big hotels or shopping malls. It 's true, I was not at the conference you mentioned. But do not expect you to know I participated in Mexico City from a parliamentary conference on these issues in the presence of campesinos and Subcomandante Marcos. My participation in the reality does not mean for me to promote the brick, rather I want to create opportunities to talk about these issues and a socially equitable and ecologically sustainable tourism, especially for the Garifuna people. Your thoughts are a bit 'out of my participation in the reality and come to conclusions too hastily. I remain at your disposal for further information and clarification.
