World Summit on children's health
Behind the fine words the true face of capitalism
From March 10 to 12 Parma will host a global summit to be attended by 106 ministers from 53 countries, ostensibly to combat new threats to health caused by environmental factors, with particular attention to children's health. This is the fifth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health, entitled "Protecting the health of children in a changing environment." What bell'obiettivo and that good title, one might say, except that lurks behind these lofty ideals but largely the greasy face of many of the powers that be using to rebuild the Parma show and look beautiful in the world, maybe they went on a practical level. Just as the dominant of the world have tried to do, failing, with the Copenhagen Summit. This is because the model of capitalist development can not be mitigated! E 'useless monetize such pollution by charging those who disfigures the environment, makes it uninhabitable, if not change the production model.
For us communists today is not just fighting for the protection of the environment, but to redefine how we produce, what we produce and use such energy resources. Must therefore think seriously about the prospects for use of renewable energies - wind, geothermal, solar, low-production and say a resounding no to nuclear power plants. Only through such radical reversals on the choices you can address global issues as those related to nutrition, who sees the hunger 3 / 4 of humanity or that of migration caused by environmental disasters or shortages of basic goods.
The themes of the conference which takes place in the Emilian city include the protection of health from risks such as water and inadequate sanitation, poor air quality, accidents and physical activity, harmful chemicals, and new threats such as extreme events due to climate change .
But how can they expect to find solutions to huge problems discussed those countries, like Italy, which to pursue the logic of speculation, they do not worry any time to give just two examples, to privatize a key asset as the ' water (that determines necessarily a lower quality of those waters, due to fewer controls and because of the profit to be implemented at any cost) or point to a crazy and dangerous return to nuclear power? Rhetorical question. Answer: they will not!
Maybe not even try to plug his ears to the cries come from African countries, Latin Americans and Asians, on the problems that these areas of the world suffer on their skin, but sometimes knowing also indicate a different route. And this voice is heard instead because it is a light that breaks through the cloud of black, toxic, governments of the world and the path indicated for example by many Latin American countries should be studied, encouraged, below.
But to do this, put on the agenda of a radical change patterns of production and development of economic and social issues related to the profit and capital. The environmental and food crisis is faced with a logic quite different from the present one, for example, even with small scale farming (short chain, traditional seeds, organic, local markets, healthy lifestyles).
The logic pursued by capitalism are burying this planet, the race for profit continues to generate monstrous inequalities and continue to assist the hoarding of resources at the expense of the community. How
Rifondazione think the need for continuous mobilization focusing on environmental issues, social and labor just to point to a drastic change, radical, the model thus far pursued. Just because most of the executioners in the world they will be seated at Parma rouge, to show their face clean for the benefit of television, we are certain that no adequate solution will unfortunately taken. For these reasons such as the Federation of Rifondazione and left to organize demonstrations to coincide with the summit.
