Collusion between Rome and Israel: Gualtieri asks to see “the documents”, and citizens show them to him

In recent months, the people's committee “Roma sa da che parte stare” (Rome knows which side it's on) has collected over 16,000 signatures to submit a popular initiative resolution to the Municipality of Rome, demanding the termination of all relations with Israel by the municipal administration. As we have carefully documented on Kritica since last summer, the Gualtieri administration has maintained an ambiguous attitude, to say the least; more accurately, we would call it “complicit, hoping no one notices,” towards Israel throughout all these years of genocide.

Quando il sindaco è stato incalzato a prendere una posizione, come di recente da parte di alcuni studenti liceali, ha negato qualsiasi rapporto e ha chiesto di vedere “le carte” che lo dimostrerebbero. Per questo motivo il comitato ha ora prodotto un dossier, intitolato proprio “Le Carte” e che pubblichiamo integralmente, in cui elenca tutte le compromissioni e gli affari in corso fra la città e lo Stato d’Israele. È un modo per esigere che innanzitutto il Partito democratico romano, in particolare, oltre che il sindaco in persona, vengano allo scoperto e dismettano qualsiasi ambiguità.

Specifically, the request is that the Proposal for a Resolution of Popular Initiative to break off relations with the State of Israel be placed on the agenda and immediately put to a vote by the Capitoline Assembly. “In that forum,” the committee recalls, “the Giulio Cesare Chamber and each individual Councillor will be called upon to vote according to their conscience, assuming full and public responsibility for their vote before the citizenry, public opinion, and international treaties.”.

Come scritto, i punti su cui i cittadini e le cittadine rivolgono particolarmente l’attenzione sono:

The municipal pharmaceutical network supply chain (Farmacap): The continuity of commercial supplies and financial flows between the Special Agency, wholly owned by Roma Capitale (100%), and the Israeli multinational pharmaceutical company Teva, whose products continue to be regularly distributed and sold over the counters of the 49 municipal pharmacies.

Industrial cooperation in the water sectorACEA): The continuation of the channels of cooperation set out in the Memorandum of Understanding between the multi-utility company ACEA S.p.A. (a 51% subsidiary of Roma Capitale) and Mekorot, the State of Israel’s flagship water company, which is structurally implicated in policies of water apartheid in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

The penetration of colonial capital in urban regenerationFormer General Markets): L’avvenuto inserimento del fondo texano Hines nella concessione cinquantennale dell’area di Via Ostiense che opera con la Menora Mivtachim Holdings, colosso finanziario che finanzia direttamente, tramite la controllata Yesodot, l’edilizia coloniale illegale e l’espansione degli insediamenti in Cisgiordania.
