ROME - The popular uprising in Libya, Italy put in an awkward position, on the home front as in international relations. Why the emphasis of which Silvio Berlusconi had cloaked the moments of newfound "friendship" with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, to the bewilderment of the U.S. and Britain, now opposes the deafening silence with which the Foreign Ministry following the street protests against the regime of Colonel.
Faced with the first signs of revolt in Tripoli, Berlusconi did not know you even try to call a 'friend' Muammar "do not disturb." Now that the revolt against Gaddafi mounts by the minute, with the forces still loyal to rais firing on civilians with tanks, Foreign Minister Franco Frattini continues to give priority to non-interference in the internal affairs of Libya.
The only real concern of the Italian government looks at the effect of the revolt on the migration to our shores, the theme of a summit that will discuss tomorrow night in Palazzo Chigi Berlusconi and Frattini, in addition to the Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, the Defense Minister Ignazio La Russa and the Development of Paul Romans.
Thus Italy, Libya's former colonial ruler, is in danger of doing the same bad in the initial French inaction in respect of the revolt against the dictator of Tunisia Ben Ali. With the aggravating circumstance that it is the Italian position is even an obstacle in the adoption of a text at the EU shared the Libyan situation.
A report from the EU's "difficult mediation" between the different sensitivities emerged among the Member States. While the 27 Union Ministers negotiated, sources report that Italy's Foreign Ministry insists that the draft there is a reference to the need for Libya's territorial integrity is maintained and defended.
Request that clashes with the hard line expressed by Germany and Britain, the only EU country, the latter, to have summoned the Libyan ambassador in protest against the violence against demonstrators. To summarize the position is the same as Italian Minister Frattini on his arrival at the Foreign Board in Brussels.
In Libya, "the national reconciliation process must begin in a peaceful way - said the Minister - then coming to a Libyan Constitution would be a key objective." Frattini also explains why the insistence on the territorial integrity of Italian Libya. "I am very concerned about Libya a split in half between Tripoli and Cyrenaica - says the head of our diplomacy - are emerging hypotheses as those of Islamic emirates in eastern Libya.
A few kilometers from Europe this would be a factor of great danger. " So Frattini motivates much-criticized the inaction at this time, the opposition by the Libyans themselves in Italy, and Rome staged a demonstration outside the embassy in Rome. "We can not say this is our model, take it - says the minister - Europe must not do this, because it does not respect the sovereignty and independence of peoples." Respect for sovereignty, will not to impose Western models.
Arguments in opposition play particularly hypocritical. "The Berlusconi government is silent because he can not talk - says the secretary of the Democratic Party, Pier Luigi Bersani - because it was so incredible bargain compromise our dignity. We want to remember the scene in a police station, with Gaddafi gave us the task.
At this led to the 'ghe me think' that moved to foreign policy, is the relationship with personalist dictators and authoritarian people. Tomorrow we will do a sit-in at the Pantheon in Rome and we will tell our own. " Dario Franceschini, a leader of the Democratic Party in the House, said: "with all that is happening, Mr.
Berlusconi is worried about solving its problems with the law. For years he has claimed a special relationship with Gaddafi, used it to prevent the uprising of Libyan people are violently repressed, as sought by all EU countries except Italy. The government is urgently to report to Parliament.
" Future of Freedom and Berlusconi also expected in the classroom. "The prime minister immediately report on the events of Libya - calls for a note in the vice president of Finian, Italo Bocchino - and we also explain whether it intends to break diplomatic relations with Libya in recent times too small to be acceptable, even to the Gaddafi's authoritarian behavior of light that is stifling the great desire for freedom in Libya, demanding respect for human rights and the Constitution.
" For Italy of Values leader speaks in the Senate, Felice Belisario. "It 's not acceptable that the EU is planning to evacuate its citizens from Libya and for our foreign minister, Europe should not interfere. Frattini is in the House to assume the responsibility of the pact of steel close to support and protect Gaddafi when the lives of Libyans and Italians is in danger and the Italian coast in danger of being invaded.
" "Shocked and outraged" the Greens, that the chairman of the federation, Angelo Bonelli, Frattini accused of speaking "as if the ambassador of Gaddafi." While Gianni Vernetti Alliance of Italy notes that Italy would use its influence to push for dialogue and instead decided "with absolute silence does not want to be a leader of the management of a crisis so important." Finally, Paolo Ferrero, Minister of PRC Communist demonstrators in the square with the Libyans in Rome condemned the "shame that the Italian government does not face any pressure to stop the repression in Libya.
Evidently Mr Berlusconi's affairs with Gaddafi were the best anticipated. "
