Fiat Bomb! Alessandro Robecchi In last Sunday about "il manifesto", "The new company of the free world", the list was missing a model of car: Fiat Bomb.
This really could be produced in Serbia, just up the factory, Zastava, which was destroyed by bombing in 1999. He tells us Rajka Veljovic, Samostalni union, which no longer exists, into a corner and left for the second
... "In 1999 we were united to defend the Zastava. We were inside, we invited the main European newspapers to television to say that we would not have abandoned that which was our second home. But we bombed the same.. "
The entire interview can be found in the documentary film "The Sound of Kosovo", which these days comes together al libro di cui Tommaso Di Francesco ha scritto appassionata recensione il 23 luglio.
Quella che era la Torino dei Balcani, la città jugoslava di Kragujevac e quella che era la Fiat dei Balcani, la Zastava, furono bombardate senza nessun tipo di remora o ritegno, il giorno della Pasqua ortodossa, mandando in frantumi strutture, macchinari e… uova pasquali, colorate e pronte da distribuire fra i lavoratori. In un vortice dove tutto si mischia, vita e morte, dramma e grottesco, lacrime e scoppi di risate, fu bombardata quella che era la seconda casa di questi lavoratori, così come tutta la Serbia e così come tutto il Kosovo, ultima amputazione in ordine cronologico della Jugoslavia, ultimo schiaffo in faccia a i Serbi.
A Kragujevac environmental pollution due to the frightening spills of toxic material and fuel oil used in industrial processes, has caused and still causes, births with birth defects and the onset of cancer and the refugees, who live scattered in Kragujevac Kraljevo to tens of thousands, many of which come from the Zastava factory satellites, in particular from Pec in western Kosovo, have made, despite themselves, the dramatic situation of daily life for everyone. Driven with no possibility of return from their land, their life in a matter of hours from 10 June 1999, who assisted with the KFOR "distracted" the violence of extremism panalbanese often live in subsidies, aid, and odd jobs. Work has become a chimera for those who had always been guaranteed.
wages that do not come to 200 euro, prices skyrocket, the vegetables easier to get even one euro per kilo, while bordering on the two euro per kilo meat, not including the fixed costs for electricity, heating and more with the dinar, which loses points every month (beginning of the year to date increased from 95 to 1 € to 105 at present), were it not for the age-old ability to adapt to the tragedy of women and men of the people, would be a catastrophe.
And yet, here they still stand. It resists in Kragujevac, a town in October '41 saw generations of men and boys and teens killed in a day and a half after the Nazi-fascist beast. Today a park recalls the massacre in comparison with which our Ardeatine become a caress. He knows the people of Kragujevac bear the tragedy, it takes more than a bend to any Marchionne. But this distinction between Italian and Serbian workers hurts a lot, especially to them. Because the site of the old union photos graced the walls of solidarity, which still combines the Italian and Serbian workers through distance support of hundreds of families of workers or former workers of the Zastava. Fiat has not arrived by a penny, even today, while the employees of various unions Solidarity was never absent from the bloody March 24, 1999 to date. They never thought of having to be involved in these manipulations, real wars among the poor.
from Fiat, which before the bomb was used to send panettone, they arrived dictates and impositions that have, as a result, massive layoffs, subcontracting, inhuman pace of work, lack of guarantees and rights, the impoverishment of wages, loss of future .
necessary that these bridges between Italian workers and Serbs are not destroyed by the superficiality and propaganda, as well as many bridges were destroyed during the bombing of Serbia. They want wars among the poor, but now that the "poor" begin to look beyond their narrow profit newspaper, because there is always someone ready to do more to blackmail the interests of managers and unscrupulous businesses. And the workers themselves should be wary of many, especially politicians who, in words, but then I am with them, in fact, leave them alone. Who really is in danger of being starved, they alone are the workers. They think to reduce them to milder claims, holding under blackmail. But they could make mistakes and give way to solidarity prevail.
So that Fiat could become a vehicle bomb really reliable, to be produced in cooperation Italo-Serbian. Fiat Bomb and solidarity.
