“Signore, quelli bussano”.
"And what do they want?"
"The usual things, but this time ..."
"This time?"
"There is a different air about, well, I do not want a disaster to happen ..."
" It has already happened. "
"Yes, but from the humanitarian point of view, well ..."
"No".
"says How, sir?"
"I am responding to the question that you do not have the courage to me."
"Please?"
"You should ask: Lord, we help them? We open the gates? Allocate that you need to allocate? But you do not have the courage, for you know very well the answer, and you know it is a response to crime, and you're afraid that just makes you ask me the question in some way complicit. But I do not need to complicated and I'm not ashamed to answer you: I take full responsibility and I say no. Do not help them. Not this time. "
"With all due respect ... This is not the common sinking of boats. "
"No, probably not."
"We speak of a famine. Perhaps millions of deaths. In general, the history is not kind to those who die leave millions of people. "
"Let me think. China 1960, Great Leap Forward, famine, from twenty to forty million. They took the pictures of Mao on the walls? "
" Do not yet, no. "
"After all is not that I care too much the opinion of posterity, eh. Blame me, they will say terrible things about me, with their bowl. Have you ever read Malthus, thou? "
" No, I confess no. "
"It's out of fashion a bit 'too soon. In short, they are hungry and want to enter. It's not enough to send home a few corrupt leaders? Yet the revolutions are beautiful, no? "
" do not give the bread
"At best, the price increases will push to eliminate some bag of corruption. But not enough, hunger is more powerful. The hunger you buy a ticket for the boat. However, this time not. Boats to shoot well, I take responsibility. "
"..." "And do not look at me with those eyes, these are things that happen. One day they will make a film about people like me and you. You will make you humble and boring, aware of the crimes we commit, but unable to disobey orders. I offer instead a face like a crazy fanatic. Do I look like a crazy fanatic? "
" No, sir, absolutely. "
"Maybe you're wrong, history is made by the winners as they begin to feel guilty. I am the fool who prefers to save one boat instead of helping another with the risk that both sink. Give me the racist. You think I'm racist? That maybe if they were blond and pale li aiuterei?”
“Se posso permettermi...”
“Certo che puoi”.
“Se le politiche si giudicano dai risultati, quello che stiamo per fare sarà interpretato da molti come razzismo”.
“Senz'altro, ed è il motivo per cui negli ultimi quarant'anni ne abbiamo fatti entrare un po' di tutti i colori, e adesso abbiamo elettori che si chiamano Mohammed e Chen, e saranno loro, capisci, saranno loro a votare per noi quando gli diremo che non possiamo aprire i cancelli a tutti i meridionali del mondo. Perché loro lo hanno sempre saputo: Malthus ce l'hanno nel sangue, loro. Sono quelli che si sono messi in moto per primi. Selezione naturale. E nessuno potrà darci del razzista, if we apply a simple principle of survival. All living species flocks and communities trying to survive by defending their territory, and we can not pretend to be a pack, we can slice a so-called 'culture', but when grain prices go up grinning, like any other sedentary mammal. There is room for everyone here. There is simply no. There was a bit ', and those who arrived when the first is taken. And now there is more. "
"Sir, may I be frank?"
"Shoot."
"This is simply fascism. Fascism with a human face, but ... "
" I'd rather face the inhuman? Because at this point, the question is posed in these terms. Do not believe us, you barred the doors with kindness? Wait a few years and then for us there will be a real fool, a visionary who has read Mein Kampf or other crap, one of those who under the guise of revisionism sometimes goes to Bergen Belsen to monitor space requirements because, after all, the twentieth century has shown us that a few quick way to make room, with a little 'commitment and imagination ... "
" So, in short, the delegation say that? "
" I've already asked him. I've already answered. No. Not this time will be made. Tell him. Know Latin? "
" should. "
"Then tell him this: Mors vestra, our life . Nothing personal. "
"And if they start crying?"
"Crying? a diplomatic delegation? "
" Lord, you know ... in the end they are Italians. "
"And you let them cry, they are entitled."
According to Roberto Maroni is "unthinkable" that, in the face of what he calls "humanitarian emergency" of Lampedusa, "European institutions are just watching."
