EVERYONE: SERIOUS VIOLATION OF FREEDOM 'OF EXPRESSION IN SUPPORT CURRENT racist. complaint to the Ombudsman "
PRESS
RELEASE September 18, 2008
With an unprecedented decision, the Chairman of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs of the European Parliament announced Gérard Deprez, just minutes from the start of the official meeting between the delegation of MEPs in Rome to examine the condition of Roma in Italy and organizations dealing with human rights, it had excluded from the meeting - scheduled for Thursday, September 18 to 18 - the representation of the EveryOne Group, asked in recent days, composed of leaders Roberto Malini, Matteo Pegoraro and Dario Picciau and activity Grancea Nico Rom, preventing access to the Senate. The reasons disclosed by Ana Dumitrache coordinatrice della delegazione LIBE, sono da riferirsi alla protesta che il Gruppo EveryOne aveva indirizzato nei giorni scorsi al Parlamento Europeo, in riferimento alla composizione della delegazione. "Abbiamo criticato la presenza di un numero esagerato di eurodeputati italiani" precisano gli attivisti di EveryOne. "3 su 7 nel gruppo degli ispettori e ben 22 su 29 dei membri osservatori. Abbiamo inoltre protestato accoratamente contro la presenza nella delegazione di esponenti di destra e di estrema destra, già noti per condurre una pesante propaganda contro il popolo Rom in Italia: Mario Borghezio, Luca Romagnoli, Roberto Fiore e altri. E' inconcepibile che siano eurodeputati italiani a giudicare l'operato del Governo Italiano ed è inaccettabile da ogni point of view that extremists who are fighting against the very presence of Roma in Italy are part of a body of research on the degree of persecution of the 'nomadic' on behalf of the European Parliament. The unlawful decision to exclude the last time an international human rights meeting with Members of Parliament - which will be reported to the European Ombudsman, Professor Nikiforos Diamandouros - proves to be an undemocratic behavior, as well as a lack of respect at work parliamentary groups in Europe (ALDE, PSE, GUE / NGL, Greens / EFA) that continued cooperation with our Group. And 'since 1945 that an NGO is not ousted, in violation of the rules that protect freedom of criticism and expression, by an event related to institutional human rights. "
This episode is a worrisome sign of how democracy is also deeply at risk and European diplomats as' agreements on the skin basement of the Roma in our country.
