(italiano)

As for the Walrus of Alice in Wonderland the time has come even for us to talk of many things – far beyond the pigs that fly in the iron cages of "There Is No Alternative" thinking – but well inside many harsh realities which are being pushed aside or deliberately denied, such as:

the sheer hypocrisy of one sided human rights policies of the West

the protests against the death penalty – verbose and henceforth with no effect – in the United States of America, in the People's Republic of China and elsewhere

of the unique, outrageous case of a political prisoner of the USA, Silvia Baraldini, locked up since one year and four months in an Italian jail, who underwent cancer surgery but was denied house arrests for post-operative chemotherapy

the European left perpetually on the verge of a nervous breakdown

a freshly minted Charter of Fundamental Rights, which undoubtedly deserves respect, the same respect we – as an example – have always felt for Esperanto

the new European army which recalls to our memory the colonial Gourknas or the Ascari and Dubat

and, last and foremost, the necessity to rebuild the European Union on the foundations of representative democracy, of social justice and of a new liberating declaration of Independence, this time from the United States of America
