Movisol Addresses Two More Glass-Steagall Events in Italy
26 November 2013
(EIRNS) - Movisolwas involved in two more public events promoting Glass-Steagall this past weekend, one in the northern city of Treviso in the Veneto Region, and the other in the town of Montevarchi in Tuscany, with local politicians from various political parties. Massimo Lodi Rizzini was the main speaker at the event in Treviso, with over 100 people in the audience, which was introduced by Lega Nord Regional Councilman Federico Caner, author of the Glass-Steagall resolution filed in the Veneto Region, that will be debated in the coming weeks. This comes onthe heels of the resolution in the Lombardy Region that was approved unanimously two weeks ago. Lodi Rizzini denounced the central banks for giving trillions of dollars to the speculators while denying credit to productive enterprises and for public infrastructure investment, and then went through the solution, starting with the urgency of Glass-Steagall in order to put an end to speculation and colonialism. The response from the audience was excellent. Movisol National Secretary Andrew Spannaus spoke at a smaller event in Montevarchi, organized by activist Leonardo Magrini, who met the movement during the Glass-Steagall signature drive in recent months. In addition to Spannaus, the two other speakers were from a movement named ARS (the ``Regain Sovereignty Association’’), which is organizing around the need to abandon the European Union and return to the economic policy of the post-war period based on state intervention and strict regulation of financial flows. Spannaus presented the decades-long campaign against the destruction of national sovereignty, and the various methods of manipulating the population and the political class to accept the instruments of their own demise. From there, drawing on crucial figures and events in U.S. and Italian history, he explained the need for the reorganization of the global financial system today. There was a long discussion period in which the participants and the two members of the local city council who were present expressed their enthusiasm and thanks for the concepts that had been presented. Additional events are planned in Tuscany in the coming months, including with the assistance of Regional Councilman Gabriele Chiurli, author of the Glass-Steagall Resolution in the Tuscany Regional Council, who spoke briefly in Montevarchi to present his resolution.
