International
declaration
Workers
and peoples of all countries unite!
On
April the 30th, the highest representatives of Italian imperialism
and the Tunisian comprador bourgeoisie ones met in Tunis at an
inter-governmental meeting after which they announced that they had
signed as many as 7 agreements. It was since 2012 there has been no
similar meeting between the governments of the two countries,
meanwhile from 2017 Italy has become the first trading partner of
Tunisia with a clearly favorable inter-trade exchange for the
imperialist country of the northern Mediterranean.
Once
again the two governments agree about fighting the immigration of our
brothers and sisters who from various nations (including Tunisia
itself) depart from Tunisia to Italy and Europe escaping from the
wars provoked by the imperialist countries Europeans including Italy
and the misery produced by the world imperialist system in which the
regimes of African countries are accomplices, also caused by unequal
economic agreements of the neo-colonial type like these. Just 10 days
after the signing of this agreement, a massacre of migrants took
place once again near Sfax, in which more than 70 people died, mainly
Bangladeshis but also Moroccans, Egyptians and Sub-Saharan Africans.
The blood of these migrants once again stains the hands of the rulers
of the northern and southern Mediterranean shores governments and
cries out for vengeance!
The
other main points of these agreements also provide for a greater
Italian control over the Tunisian electricity energy sector with an
investment of over € 50 million for the construction of a fiber
optic cable between Sicily and Cap Bon. The consequence will be a
greater energy dependence of Tunisia on the foreign power, a further
increase in the price of electricity for the Tunisian people and an
increase in the Tunisian foreign debt to Italy, which will weigh on
the shoulders of the Tunisian people.
Another
important point is the conversion of € 25 million of Tunisian
foreign debt towards Italy as a "gift" to finance the
"administrative decentralization" in Tunisia or for local
public administrations. In concrete terms, this sum will be spent at
Italian companies from which all the goods and services necessary for
the price decided by the Italian companies will be purchased. Tunisia
will not be free to choose to spend this money on cheaper suppliers
like national companies. A real fraud in favor of the Italian economy
and to the detriment of the Tunisian economy of which the Tunisian
government is complicit.
The
Tunisian government once again shows how it is servile towards
Italian imperialism in its interests in Libya, where the Italian-flag
oil company, Eni has enormous interests as well as in Tunisia.
Another point of the agreement was in fact Tunisia's support for
Italy's aspirations in Libya.
The
Tunisian government has signed all of these agreements in exchange
for the vague promise of greater shares of Italian tourists in
Tunisia and the importation of olive oil. A barter that is played on
the skin of the Tunisian people, of the Libyan people and of the
migrants who cross both Tunisia and the Libyan chaos where they are
continually harassed, enslaved, raped and killed and, when they try
the sea route they often find themselves hunted down. by Libyan and
Tunisian patrol boats often supplied by Italy and other imperialist
countries.
The
marxist-leninist-maoist Communist parties of Italy and Tunisia
therefore appeal to the Italian proletariat and the Tunisian people
to organize and join migrants in their respective countries in the
struggle against both governments, the Italian imperialist
bourgeoisie’ s one and the Tunisian comprador bourgeoisie’s one
and in this sense:
We
salute the latest protests in the Italian squares against the fascist
Leaue party leader Salvini and the populist Di Maio, the workers in
Italy of any nationality must organize themselves against the Italian
masters against the continuous attack on the rights of workers and
against the attempt to divide the working class between Italian and
immigrants with the aim of weakening the working class itself, with
the closure of companies and the delocalization in countries like
Tunisia, the attack on wages and the blackmail of social control
through the "citizenship income" of the Di Maio / Salvini
government. The joint declaration of Maoist parties and organizations
on the occasion of the first of May signed by us states: "In
the imperialist countries, while proletarian and popular struggles
are increasing, like in France, advances the populist-beam demagogy
and the use of the great migratory waves provoked by imperialism to
direct the anger of the masses not towards the domination of the
bourgeois forces in power but towards migrants creating a war between
the poor
".
We
salute the struggles of the Tunisian people and in particular those
of the peasant women on strike in Sidi Bouzid after another massacre
at work and against the Aleca (the In-depth Free Trade Agreement with
the EU) both struggles characterized the May Day in Tunisia.
We
salute the protest of the immigrants of the sub-Saharan peoples in
Tunisia this May in Tunis to obtain their rights and we support the
freedom of movement of migrants and the right to asylum in Tunisia.
We
call on the Italian workers and the Tunisian people to unite in this
battle against the common enemy: Italian imperialism and Tunisian
reactionary regime.
"This
battle has to be conducted in each country requires in the current
international context an international vision, an international link,
a common battle at the international level of the proletarians and
oppressed peoples".

the occasion of the 1st of May 2019.
