イタリア治安法施行

  

    
この記者が戦後の子だなぁと思うのはファシズム=悪という前提で記事を書いているところ。
もちろん悪いかもしれないんだけど、本家イタリアやスペインではそれほど悪く思われていないというのも事実。
ナチズムとは違うのだ。
思えばファシズム全体主義の一分岐としてナチズムがありボリシェビズムがあった。
だがファシズム全体は全面否定されたとは言えない。
ファシズム自体は価値中立なシステムなのだから。排外主義や社会淘汰論はマイナーなコンテンツに過ぎない。
善意のファシズムたる人権主義やら女権主義やらが未だ称揚されていることからもわかる。
じつはみんなファシズムが好きなんだよね
だいたいファシズムというのは独裁官の昔から共同体を護るローマ市民の心意気ですから
ところが漏れは自由主義を上位に置く少数派。日本の戦時下では弾圧されそう(笑)
そのうえで、そもそも欧州なんて自分でいうほどニッポンサヨク的じゃないんですよ
なにしろ帝国主義の歴史が長いですから。
建前と国益の使い分けなんざ平気です。
国家が中国人(&ムスリム黒人)に蚕食される非常事態となりゃ暗黙のホメオスタシスが働くんですよ。
ティーチャーズペットのお勉強サヨクしかいないニッポンマスゴミにゃわからないでしょうけどね。
   

Italy's immigrants despair at new laws
  
Illegal immigrants in Italy are now liable to pay a fine of 10,000 euros
  
Proponents of Italy's new anti-immigration laws say they are a much-needed response to a serious problem, but critics say they recall the policies of the fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini, reports the BBC World Service's Madeleine Morris in Milan.
  
"The life that I'm living in Italy is very poor. I don't have documents. In Europe, if you don't have documents, you are nothing - you are an empty vessel."
   
Michael - not his real name - is a 19-year-old Sierra Leonean who came to Italy 15 months ago.
   
He crossed the sea from Libya in a small boat, along with 65 other people. Once they landed in Italy, he claimed asylum.
   
We just want to be sure that the immigrants who arrive on our land want to be here to work

Paolo Grimaldi, Northern League MP
But Michael's claim, along with the majority of asylum seekers who land on Italy's shores, was rejected.

Since then, he has been living illegally in the northern city of Milan, struggling to survive under Italy's increasingly tough policy on illegal immigrants.

I see that policy in action as we pass an internet cafe near the hostel where he is staying.

Four policemen enter the cafe and single out those of African descent, asking to check their official documents.

"They're in here three or four times a week looking for people without papers," Michael says.

Under fire

Italy has come under fire from groups as diverse as the Vatican and the European Commission for its strict new anti-immigration laws, which were passed in early July.


This law really alters the landscape by criminalising the violation

Under the legislation, illegal immigrants are liable to pay a fine of 10,000 euros (£8,700; $14,200) and can now be detained by the authorities for up to six months.

In addition, people who knowingly house undocumented migrants can now face up to three years in prison.

The new law also permits the formation of unarmed citizen patrol groups to help police keep order.

The European Commission is investigating the new laws to see if they comply with existing EU legislation on immigration.

"Italy is absolutely not a racist country. We just want to be sure that the immigrants who arrive on our land want to be here to work, not to make crimes," says Paolo Grimaldi, an MP for the right-wing Northern League.



Illegal immigrants in Italy who have no visa are unable to get a job
Mr Grimaldi, whose party leader, Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, ushered the new law through parliament, firmly believes Italy is facing an emergency.

With nearly 37,000 immigrants arriving on their shores last year, mostly via boats from Libya and Tunisia, many Italians agree.

"There are too many people. You see in the city, on the streets in Milan, two million immigrants, I think," says one Milanese man, who did not want to give his name.

"I want to help people who are poorer than me, but I want to know where they come from and what they are going to do," says Martina, a 23-year-old Northern League supporter. "It is better if they come here legally."

Criminalised

According to Saskia Sassen, an expert on European immigration at Columbia University in New York, Italy's new laws could be the beginning of "a catastrophic phase" for not only migrants but also Italian citizens.

"This law really alters the landscape by criminalising the violation," she says.



Critics of the new citizen patrol groups have staged protests in Milan
"In the past you were in violation of the law. That doesn't mean you were a criminal. This law means if you break the law, now you are considered a criminal. That's a big deal."

Mr Grimaldi readily admits that almost no illegal immigrants would be able to pay a 10,000-euro fine. In fact, he says, that is the point.

European Union laws oblige all 25 countries party to the Schengen Agreement, which allows passport-free travel across the area, to allow illegal immigrants to make two "mistakes", and the new Italian law makes such "mistakes" more likely.

"We want to expel these illegal immigrants to their country of provenance," Mr Grimaldi says.

"If they have already been arrested for something before, if they don't pay the fine, we will have recidivism."

The immigrant will have made two "mistakes", and "so then we can make the expulsion".

Italy issues very few visas to people who are already living in the country, and demand for work permits from potential immigrants greatly outstrips supply.

It quickly becomes a Catch-22 situation - illegal immigrants who have no visa are unable to get a job; those without a job are unable to get a visa.



If they didn't want me they shouldn't have rescued me

"Michael"
As a result, both illegal and legal migrants have become an increasingly obvious presence on the streets of Italian cities.

At night, groups of men from across Africa, the Arab world and Asia roll out sleeping bags and cardboard boxes in Milan's numerous historic piazzas.

By day, they get by however they can - some by selling fake designer handbags or toys, some by stealing.

Michael lived on the streets of Milan for eight months before being given a bed at Casa della Carita, one of a number of charity-run hostels in the city which house immigrants.

"I don't have a job. I can't go to the hospital if I am sick," he says.

Beside him in the hostel's courtyard, a disparate group of migrants from as far away as Afghanistan and Bangladesh pass the time playing cards.

"Italian people rescued me from their sea. If they didn't want me they shouldn't have rescued me," Michael adds.

イタリア:治安法施行、「移民排斥」強化 自警団巡回容認も
  
 【ローマ藤原章生
移民を巡る社会問題が先鋭化しているイタリアで、違法移民をかくまう市民には禁固刑を科し、自警団による巡回を合法とする治安法が施行された。欧州議会ローマ法王庁などからも「外国人差別を促す」「ファシズムの再来」との批判が出ていたが、安定多数の中道右派与党が押し切り、野党は、外国人を犯罪者とみなす市民の過剰防衛が広がる危険を警告している。

 治安法の主な内容は、(1)違法移民は5000〜1万ユーロ(67万〜134万円相当)の罰金を科し、国外に追放する(2)医師と学校職員を除く公務員には、違法移民に関する情報を当局に報告する義務を課す(3)元警察官らで組織された自警団は違法移民の捜索、摘発ができる(4)違法移民に部屋を賃貸した者は6カ月から3年の禁固刑−−など。

 移民関係以外では、スプレーでの落書きなどに最高6カ月の禁固刑を科し、飲酒運転に対する免許取り消しも盛り込まれた。

 ベルルスコーニ政権が提出した法案を、中道右派与党が上下院で可決。ナポリターノ大統領が14日に調印し、発布した。

 イタリアでは戦前のファシスト政権下で、自警団がユダヤ人や共産党員を弾圧する事件が多発した。治安法導入は、むしろ外国人排斥の風潮を助長する恐れが指摘されている。

 現にミラノでは、外国人排斥を唱える右派与党「北部同盟」の下院議員が「外国人の多い地下鉄にミラノ人の専用座席を設けろ」と訴える騒ぎも起きた。

 イタリアには合法滞在の外国人約400万人のほか、約100万人の不法移民がいるが、統計上、犯罪は年々減っている。にもかかわらず、ベルルスコーニ政権は発足当初から「外国人犯罪の増加」に焦点を当て、治安悪化を説いてきた。

 このため、歴史の苦い教訓や右傾化の行き過ぎを懸念する大統領は、調印に当たり、上下両院議長と首相、内相にあてて、自警団の巡回を懸念する意見書を送った。
