ac Catalogna, la cura Rajoy minaccia di uccidere il malato By www.collectiuemma.cat Published On :: Sat, 13 Jan 2018 16:45:00 +0100 IL FATTO QUOTIDIANO 10-01-2018.- FABIO MARCELLI (Giurista internazionale) Il primo ministro spagnolo Rajoy ha inventato un nuovo sistema per ottenere la maggioranza in assemblee rappresentative che si mostrino troppo refrattarie ad accettare il verbo governativo. E’ un metodo semplice ed efficace e consiste nell’arrestare o mandare in esilio un numero di deputati della parte avversa sufficiente a farla scendere al di sotto del cinquanta per cento. Il geniale politico in questione sta applicando il metodo in Catalogna, dove il fronte indipendentista, formato da Junts per Catalunya, Esquerra Republicana e CUP ha ottenuto 70 deputati su 135 alle recenti elezioni regionali, ma per effetto della repressione in atto deve al momento rinunciare a otto seggi dato che tre deputati si trovano in galera e cinque all’estero in esilio. Risultato, un abbassamento del numero dei deputati indipendentisti da 70 a 62, al di sotto della maggioranza richiesta di 68 su 135. La democrazia rappresentativa, autentico feticcio del mondo occidentale in questa fase storica, si trova quindi fortemente falsata e impossibilitata a funzionare e c’è il rischio che, grazie all’iperattivismo di una magistratura che sente ancora il richiamo del franchismo, il governo della Catalogna vada a finire in mano alla leader della formazione destroide neoliberista ed autoritaria Ciudadanos, che esprime la volontà di una netta minoranza della società catalana. Eppure nessuno dice niente. L’Unione europea, nonostante la massiccia manifestazione svoltasi a Bruxelles il 7 dicembre, la più grande mai tenutasi in Belgio, cui ho avuto l’onore di partecipare e di prendere la parola, continua nel suo atteggiamento omertoso. I governi degli Stati che ne fanno parte, pronti a ululare come lupi ogni volta che sotto altri cieli vengono adottate misure secondo loro liberticide, pure. Un autentico capolavoro di ipocrisia è costituito, tanto per fare un esempio, dalla dichiarazione adottata da Alfano due giorni dopo il referendum dell’8 ottobre, che si conclude riaffermando un’aprioristica quanto ingiustificata fiducia nei confronti del governo spagnolo. Vero è infatti che quest’ultimo si è reso colpevole di gravi violazioni di fondamentali norme europee, a partire da quelle contenute nella Convenzione europea dei diritti umani e delle libertà fondamentali del 1950, perseguendo con il manganello e con la galera un movimento di massa, ben radicato all’interno della società catalana, che voleva esprimere pacificamente il proprio sacrosanto diritto all’autodeterminazione. Il comportamento tenuto dalla polizia spagnola e dai giudici che si sono prestati ad assecondare il disegno neofranchista di Rajoy ha infatti violato vari diritti fondamentali tra i quali quelli alla libertà di espressione del pensiero e di riunione e alla stessa integrità fisica (almeno ottocento feriti) delle persone aggredite come documentato in una denuncia internazionale firmata da oltre cinquecento giuristi. La magistratura continua a prestarsi al disegno repressivo negando da ultimo la libertà provvisoria al deputato Oriol Junqueras che potrebbe candidarsi a presidente della Catalogna. La realtà è sotto gli occhi di tutti. I partiti indipendentisti chiedono al governo spagnolo un dialogo che quest’ultimo rifiuta. Eppure il quadro costituzionale uscito dagli Accordi della Moncada del 1978 si rivela ogni giorno più ammuffito e inadeguato. Se si vuole salvaguardare l’unità nazionale della Spagna l’unica strada è quella di un autentico processo costituente che vada della ridefinizione in modo adeguato delle garanzie necessarie alla convivenza. Altrimenti non ci sarà alternativa alla secessione della Catalogna e di altre regioni, a cominciare dai Paesi Baschi. Il gioco d’azzardo cui si sta dedicando Rajoy per salvaguardare le proprie poltrone e allontanare l’attenzione dalle accuse di corruzione e dai manifesti fallimenti delle sue politiche di stampo neoliberista produrrà con ogni probabilità un tale esito, non senza rischi gravissimi per la pace e la democrazia in un Paese vitale per l’Europa. Con ogni evidenza, quindi, la cura Rajoy minaccia di uccidere il malato. E la malattia potrebbe estendersi dalla Catalogna e dalla Spagna all’insieme dell’Europa. Tutti motivi per chiedere con forza la liberazione immediata dei prigionieri politici catalani per permettere un funzionamento adeguato delle istituzioni democratiche sotto attacco. Full Article
