For weeks, in Ireland the facades of the buildings are repainted, the beds filled with flowers, resurfaced roads, imposing giant screens placed high on the main streets. Members of the National Guard with suits, diver descend into the sewers to see if someone has placed bombs or has left evidence of doing so.
In designated places, staff are searched and inspected every corner, polished, secured. In neighborhoods, the streets, the restaurants offer a "menu real" discounts and days you work to achieve the street party in which to celebrate: for many Irish this week there will be a day off in more.
Each night, however, on poles and walls, put up some of the leaflets of protest and offers seminars and conferences on "the horrible history of the Windsor dynasty." Over 10 000 police and soldiers were mobilized, with monumental traffic and access restrictions to all affected areas, while the infiltration of British Intelligence and Irish have now verified all the actions of dissent prepared by political groups and informal, so that the protest is not "excessive" (a couple of bombs were reported and defused between yesterday and one today).
The rulers of the United Kingdom of Great Britain arrived in Ireland yesterday, after more than a century of open clashes and repression, popular uprisings, attacks and, finally, cold and formal diplomatic relations. The period of the visit was cunningly chosen immediately after the marriage of William and Kate and have been glued to the screens and even many Irish tabloid.
Despite this, it is no exaggeration to say that more than half of the population not keen to see the actual arrival of the British members of a dynasty that was in power when they made the most recent episodes of violence and repression in Northern Ireland and in the Republic. The wound is still open and many adults remember with emotion the disastrous events of the past decades.
Only a few days ago, May 5, for example, were celebrated the 30th anniversary of the death of Bobby Sands, let yourself die of hunger in the prison where he had been imprisoned for protesting against the inhuman living conditions of Irish political prisoners. Also yesterday was a day of commemoration with the 34th anniversary of the death of Irish (men, women and children) took place May 17, 1974: The largest loss of life in a single day throughout the conflict in Northern Ireland.
Another poor choice is to involve in the event the Ulster Defence Association (UDA), a loyalist paramilitary groups who were guilty of murder and atrocities in the past, usually against unarmed Catholic citizens (and with the support of British intelligence). Even the younger ones, despite the rejection of violence is considered a duty, often express words of the great antipathy to the royal couple and the absolute inappropriateness of this visit.
Attention is focused here on the € 30 million it costs to finance the entire organization and the inconvenience caused to the Irish population. However, the event is considered by all the momentous needle emotional balance of the Irish will vary depending on the words that Queen Elizabeth II decide on the theme of reconciliation.
For better or for worse, his speech at the memorial to the dead for the Irish cause, will be followed by the entire nation. Mauro Longo, Italian freelance journalist in Ireland
