Alla lettera di Alex Zanotelli sulle prospettive del commercio equo risponde Monica Di Sisto, componente di Roba dell'Altro Mondo - centrale d'importazione del commercio equo. "Alex, sai che in Belgio e in Francia i Governi stanno cercando di imporre delle normative che riducono il commercio equo a standard per i prodotti presenti nella grande distribuzione? E proprio dalle organizzazioni italiane parte l'argine a questa deriva". "Questo č possibile proprio perché il movimento italiano č l'unico che ha salvaguardato, nei fatti, la centralitą delle botteghe e della politica nel sistema" precisa Monica Di Sisto secondo cui nella rete del commercio equo molte organizzazioni sono "molto meno sensibili ad alcuni temi dei pił insensibili tra noi". "Una piccola osservazione economica sulla sobrietą: la crescita dei consumi individuali di prodotti equosolidali non equivale, automaticamente, in consumismo. Puņ voler dire che alcune persone, potendo contare su una varietą di prodotti sempre maggiore, stanno spostando quasi tutta la propria spesa quotidiana dentro i canali equosolidali" scrive Di Sisto "Magari tagliando tante spese inutili che prima facevano al supermarket".

Synthetic ingredients in "organic" food? It doesn't seem very logical, but if Kraft and other members of the corporate food industry get their way, the word "organic" is going to take on unfortunate new meaning, says the Pesticide Action Network.

Over 1,500 have been arrested in Nepal's capital over the last two weeks as political parties and their student supporters hold their most sustained protests since King Gyanendra's February takeover of the country's political machinery. In rural areas, a unilateral ceasefire called by Maoist rebels earlier this month has improved life, villagers say, wishing the government would follow suit.

Il leader di Rifondazione, Fausto Bertinotti, risponde alle domande poste da un nostro editoriale alla vigilia della marcia Perugia-Assisi sulla questione delle spese militari italiane. "Sotto il governo Berlusconi le spese militari hanno subito una impennata notevole rispetto ai governi di centrosinistra - scrive Bertinotti. Bisogna perņ evidenziare - per onestą intellettuale - come tale disdicevole performance sia dovuta anche a scelte profondamente sbagliate compiute negli ultimi 15 anni (Nuovo Modello di Difesa aggressivo; rilancio della Nato; crescita di missioni militari allestero; riabilitazione della guerra - anche sotto lipocrita dicitura di umanitaria - come strumento della politica estera del nostro Paese". "Occorre imprimere una vera svolta nella politica estera e della difesa dellItalia cominciando con il ritiro delle truppe dallIraq e da tutte quelle missioni che si pongono in contrasto con lart.11 della Costituzione e promuovere una revisione del concetto strategico proprio del Nuovo Modello di Difesa e della nuova Nato" - afferma Bertinotti.
