THE CRISIS IN ROME, WHY 'Not as


La crisi economica e culturale che sta attraversando il mondo è strutturale. Nasce, si sviluppa e si aggrava tutta dentro le dinamiche del capitalismo mondiale, tanto che le politiche neo-liberiste degli ultimi decenni nel tentativo di allontanare la crisi ne hanno aggravato gli effetti. Il prezzo più alto della crisi in ogni parte del globo viene scaricato sugli strati più poveri della popolazione, sulle lavoratrici e sui lavoratori, sui Paesi più deboli.

In Italia la situazione è particolarmente grave e peculiare per debolezza della sua struttura produttiva resa competitiva fino recently, only the killing of the cost of labor, job insecurity, tax evasion. In fact, companies have preferred to invest in financial speculation and / or debt rather than develop investment in research and advanced technologies.
Government policies, even in this' last year, only serve to encourage companies, banks and public utilities to go bankrupt in this direction.
Throughout the crisis the country is living in a different way and from north to south, from the metropolis to the provinces, the reaction and the consequences sociali sono molto differenti.

Di fronte a tale quadro riteniamo necessario indagare più a fondo gli effetti della crisi economica e sociale a Roma dove, pur picchiando duramente, se ne vivono le conseguenze sempre più in maniera frammentata. E questo avviene dalle punte più avanzate dell’economia romana a quelle più arretrate. Dal settore pubblico, a partire dal drammatico attacco alla scuola pubblica con il licenziamento di massa dei precari e nessuna garanzia per la salvaguardia del diritto allo studio, passando per la sanità, con le esternalizzazioni, la chiusura di presidi sanitari, liste di attesa sempre più lunghe. A quello privato dei poli a tecnologia that characterized the advanced industrial system in the capital (the third in the country) and in the region. Not to mention the thousands of layoffs in 2008. Official figures tell us of an increase in hours Grant (CIG between ordinary and extraordinary) in Rome of 282% and 219% in the Region only in period from January to March 2009 (an increase of 512% in one industry) , in front of a national figure during the same period by 184%. Expected 70,000 laid off by the end of the year, most of whom are women, individuals doubly affected by the crisis.
According to the most recent surveys, 20% of small and medium-sized enterprises in Roman is discharging, in the Lazio region of 10,000 employees in the sector of travel agencies 10% have already lost their jobs, the last year there has been the closure of about 4,000 small shops, which weighed the collapse of power ' purchase of working families and retirees and the devastating political shopping centers continued in recent years.

In Rome, also have a significant cultural production and the university. At the last witness for years to the disposal of public service, the deskilling and transformation of students into the workforce in precarious training without any guarantee of the future without any rights.
A precarious conditions rampant in the city, "Rome Model" has fueled with the outsourcing of municipal services , and which today strikes the dark of unemployment. Not to mention the enormous weight that the income is speculative real estate, with higher rents and the expensive prices, the income of a part of the population. On this land there is a deep connection to be investigated: the relationship between crisis, real estate speculation and urban issues.
One thing about all that shows in a stabbing the incompatibility of the speculative market with social status: they are grown excessively evictions, in a single year, 2008, the new sentences were almost 8500, of which nearly 6000 for delinquency and execution requests submitted by bailiffs has increased by over 160%.

in the country and the city of Berlusconi's fascist elements make inroads into the social fabric torn by crisis and war between the poor that it unleashes. A war that brings a claim against the weak weaker, looking for a scapegoat in the 'immigrant and "different." On this was in Rome engaged a very strong legitimacy of the extreme right, which continues to act in more or less subtle but continuing to feed the culture of hatred. A legitimate concern that even more in front of the criminalization of the struggle as was the case with arrests of former school March 8.

It makes the light of this need to connect the political, social, movement, trade unions to build an effective unified response to the crisis in Rome. A path of discussion and action that allows to support disputes and conflicts that develop in the city and at the same time try to build paths social mobilization unit, so that before the crisis Not as a Stranger, whether they are workers or employees and workers and employees rather than students or teachers and students are insecure, or migrants rather than evicted tenants housing, rather than scientists and researchers involved with polish. Without forgetting the " layoffs" of hundreds of domestic workers, who have not benefited from the recent amnesty.

Rome will host in October by many national events, all important, but it is necessary that the city restart to resist together. We urge it to all its struggle to participate in town meeting to be held on 28 October at 17:30 at the headquarters of the "Esquilino tomorrow" in Via Galilei 53.
