Strange Discharge Rephresh

Acqua in bocca

Public an alarming message arrived in my inbox. Open your eyes and let's not take the piss.
While raging debate on euthanasia in the country, pinafore to school, leash the dog and the scourge of graffiti, the Berlusconi government without telling anyone has started the privatization of public water. The
Parliament voted to Article 23a of Decree Law 112 of Minister Tremonti, who says that the management of water services should be subject to the rules of the capitalist economy.
So the Berlusconi government in Italy has ruled that the water will no longer be a public good but a commodity, and therefore will be managed by multinational companies (which possess the same mineral water). Even in Latin
Veolia (multinational which operates the local water) has decided to increase the bills of 300%. Consumers who complain, Veolia sent its teams of armed vigilantes and policemen to remove the counters.
The privatization of water that is happening globally will result in the coming years, million deaths from thirst in the poorest countries. Man is made of 65% water, and this is what the Italian government is putting up for sale.
The water gushing from the earth is not a commodity, is a fundamental human right and no one can draw appropriate it for illicit profit. Water is the white gold that will fight the next wars.
Wars that will be controlled by multinational corporations which now the government, concerned about the aprons, is selling 65% of our body. Water in the mouth.
And where was the opposition? And the press?
