Non più altro da noi. Comunque la pensiate sull’Unione Europea, il primo maggio 2004 è una data storica. Per molti popoli dell’est si compie un cammino cominciato con il dissequestro del 1989. Timothy Garton Ash sul Guardian:
When I started travelling to these countries, more than 25 years ago, my contemporaries lived in a different world. They could not say what they thought, in public, or they would lose their university places or jobs. They could not travel where they wanted. They could not read what they liked. Their shop windows often resembled an empty morgue. Now the sons and daughters of the friends I made then, in Warsaw, Budapest, Prague or Ljubljana, have life chances that are not so drastically different from those of my own children. They can read and write what they like. They can travel where they like, subject only to our common tyrant, money, or the shortage of it. They can shout what they like in a public square. On this May Day, there will be no compulsory marches, with yawning youngsters holding aloft banners of Lenin, Brezhnev and local mini-Brezhnevs. Instead, some will celebrate EU accession on the streets, because they want to, while others join an anti-globalisation demo. |
