The news is a few months ago, but deserves to be posted late because even if, I repeat, the information is not age either party.
With Gohan. Complain to the Cini
House. Agnoletto: "It was better the CDL"
If Italy would pay the promised contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and malaria every day could be save the lives of 443 people. But the current government has not yet allocated 260 million planned for 2006-2007.
To remember, yesterday the Cini (Italian Coordination Network International, composed by ActionAid International, AMREF, Save the Children, Terre des Hommes, Vis and WWF) and the Associazione Culturale Punto Rosso, exposed in front of Deputies 443 pairs of shoes, in the closing days of the meeting of the Board of the Fund in Geneva.
"very important initiative - said Father Alex Zanotelli, present at the defense - to launch a plea to the government to immediately pay the amount promised. Why not allocate money for the Fund means the death of millions of people. I be recalled that about 42 million people with AIDS, 30 million live in Africa, where because of poverty and lack of access to medicines to be suffering from this illness is to die within a few years. And condemn to death those people is a crime against humanity ".
for MEP of the PRC-EL Vittorio Agnoletto" The Prodi government has a memory lapse on the funds for AIDS but not on military expenditures continue to increase. The Global Fund is one of the main tools for the global South is to achieve the millennium goals to fight poverty and disease set by the United Nations. Unfortunately, until now, the Prodi government is acting on this worse than the previous government, which had paid at least 80 per cent share of the Italian. "
The NGO participants in the 'initiative, represented by Raffaele Salinari spokesman Cini, have launched a last appeal to the executive:" We demand consistency between commitments and amounts to be allocated. Report with concern the evidence that, while military commitments, also recruited by the previous government, will be respected, commitments to international solidarity is unfulfilled. "
