Lombardia Progressista sifts through the electoral lists: “Disturbing result”
Milano – There are those who want to demolish the monuments built in the twenty years, there are those who propose changing the names of the streets named after the men of the Regime.
Of Luca Fazzo
And who goes even further, using electoral lists to raise a new alarm about the fascist resurgence: there are too many people called Benito around.
Never mind if in Spanish Benito means Benedict, if a martyr with this name is celebrated on 23 August; and patience, on the opposite side, if it was the luminous figure of Benito Juarez who made the name popular in the nineteenth century. Nothing to do. For the indignant people at the registry office, there was only one Benito, Mussolini. And that hundreds of Milanese (and probably a few thousand Italians) they persist in calling themselves the same as the Duce, without feeling the civic duty to run and get screwed, becomes a sign of the persistence of anti-democratic sentiments in the country.
One of the supporters of the "Progressive Lombardy" list took the trouble to go and sift through the electoral lists of Milan in search of the namesakes of the master from Predappio., the leftist wing of the coalition that supports Giorgio Gori's candidacy in the next regional elections. How he got the whim, Gori's fan doesn't explain it. But yesterday he published the results of his research on Facebook, under the symbol of your list. «I had the opportunity to consult – writes – the list of Milan voters and I looked for those who had Benito” in the proper name. This is the disturbing result". And off we go, with the detailed list: fortunately without surnames. Read More

There is a cry of black danger (which isn't there) and the former BR Paroli and the ideologue Toni Negri take the chair
Of Giampaolo Iacobini
At the school of anti-fascism: bad teachers return to the classroom. There are those who prefer to write books and those, like once upon a time, he doesn't give up the front row of the processions.
The long wave of anti-fascism 2.0 brings ancient figures to the surface. Toni Negri, for example: philosopher theorist of violence as an element of destructuring the capitalist system, in the seventies he was among the maître à penser of Potere Operaio and Autonomia Operaia. Sentenced to 12 years for subversive association and moral complicity in the failed robbery of a bank which the 5 December 1974 it ended with the killing of a carabiniere by red extremists, he was elected to Parliament with the Radicals before emigrating to France to escape prison. He returned home in 1997. Dal 2003 he travels the world as a consultant (also hired by former Venezuelan president Ugo Chavez) and lecturer. And tomorrow he will be in Rome to present «Jail and exile History of a communist», written in 2015. «An unprecedented intellectual autobiographer, the story of a life, of a thought, of a generation, of a season of struggles not yet concluded", reads the invitation, overlooking those who fell under the blows of the thesis of violence as an instrument of liberation, today replaced by the passion for the anti-global movement, «a kind of a-scientific communism», says Negri in some interviews, «which will serve to overthrow the current empire, made by international economic relations".

The bestial crime committed in the attic of horrors a Macerata, the slaughter inflicted by three Africans on the body of the beautiful 18 year old Pamela Mastropietro, torn to pieces the 30 last January and locked inside two suitcases abandoned on the side of the road and all this without a reason yet, has put the spotlight on an alarming reality: the Nigerian mafia. Criminal groups that continue to stand out for the particularly aggressive ways in which they commit crimes.
A well organized and rooted structure, second General Antonio Basilicata, head of the preventive department of the anti-mafia investigative directorate (Yes). Basilicata also leads the Analysis Division, where foreign criminal and mafia structures are studied.
General, there is a lot of talk about the Nigerian mafia. How it is moving in our cities?
«The phenomenon has been known for years. There is even a ruling from the Supreme Court of Cassation 2007 which recognized these criminal organizations the 416 Bis. The same sentence was issued in the Turin courts, Brescia, Milano. Then there are cases like Castel Volturno, where in the 2008 two criminal associations got into a serious relationship and six Nigerians died. This is because they act as if they were affiliated with the mafia, sometimes in some southern cities they also make agreements with the clans, with the gangs, in others they act autonomously, leveraging only on ties with fellow countrymen. The difference compared to the Italian mafia is that Nigerians enhance the mystical-religious component". Read More

The former prosecutor Roberti: has signed agreements on expulsions and does not respect them
Of Lodovica Bulian
«You know that we have a Nigerian criminal community in Italy that is scary? But Nigerians in Italy do not commit crimes against Italian subjects.
They go to war with each other, they traffic in drugs, prostitution, but they do not attack the territory. Let's hope it doesn't happen.". Only a few months have passed since the then national Anti-Mafia prosecutor, Franco Roberti, warned the Schengen parliamentary committee at the hearing, of the dangerousness of crime coming from Nigeria. And that fear was realized in Macerata. The alarm about the Nigerian phenomenon lies in its violent nature, in the mafia method combined with sacrificial rites, and in the ability of these criminal associations to feed on the masses of migrants from Africa. And in the fact that the Nigerian associations appear "even more structured than the Italian mafias". Read More

After Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders also admits: “From us 24 cases of abuse, 19 operators already fired”
Of Fausto Biloslavo
And now it turns out that even the tough and pure MSF, Doctors Without Borders, they have bad apples at home, who were guilty of sexual harassment and abuse.
Only last year did the powerful NGO register 24 red light cases, largely among staff members. It is not excluded, but, which also concern local personnel employed in a war or emergency zone. Not only that: MSF admits that two cases directly involve victims "i.e. patients or members of the community" where Doctors Without Borders intervene. The big NGO doesn't have such a straight back, who brings the migrants from the boats into our homes by refusing to sign the Viminale code of conduct and denounces the rapes in the detention centers in Libya as if it were Italy's fault.
