It is with much consternation that I wish to
address 15M movement and all social movements that have expressed themselves so
appropriately through the networks, in view of the lack of global reaction from
today’s youth, expressing their total disagreement with those who have failed
to face the great challenges of the present and who, moreover, are maintaining
immense media pressure on citizens to reduce them to mere spectators.
The current predictions concerning the
“Anthropocene” –because for the first time in history mankind can influence
conditions on earth- may be irreversible and may prompt dramatic situations for
human habitability. A collective outcry is essential to urgently demand
democratic multilateralism and democratic systems at the regional and local
levels that take into account the interests of the people, and to once and for
all reject the manipulation emanating from the great (military, energy,
financial and media) domain and groups of oligarchs.
We have to look our children and grandchildren
in the eyes and not allow a few irresponsible people to prevent us from duly
facing the great challenges of achieving a life of dignity for all, without
exclusion, and a sustainable environment.
Intergenerational solidarity: let there be
hundreds in cyberspace demanding support for these protests and proposals.
Not long ago I read the following in Leonardo
Padura’s “The Man Who Loved Dogs”: ..."History will have conquered Tolstoy,
but not broken him. Until his dying days that genius knew how to maintain the
precious gift of moral indignation, punishing autocracy with his battle cry of
“I can’t remain silent!”
Let us all take example from Tolstoy.
