"Still you do not expect to be bright and bon-vivant / so far away from home"

Part 1: NoEs oh! Berlsuconi won by one vote, and it 's all my fault: (

I have not voted in this election (as indeed the previous ones) as expatriate.
Yes', I know that the law in force since the last election provides special colleges for Italian citizens abroad, giving me not only a right to vote equal to that of expatriate citizens, but actually much higher than theirs, since the rate of abstention and 'much higher and consequently each voting is more '. (Also, for the Senate Foreign colleges there is no majority bonus is that instead on a regional basis in the motherland, be properly represented and' more so 'easy Even if you are 'in the minority.)
The reason for this' e' which, trivially, I believe that those who are not in one country and not even pay taxes in one country, and generally does not suffer the consequences of the policies act by the government of that country, has no moral right to guide the decision of the country through the vote. (*)
Ironically, some time ago as they clear very old mail, I came across an email written to me by a guy in the far 1998. We talked a lot about voting abroad, and I cast on a forum repubblica.it an opinion. Which, surprisingly, was identical to the opinion I have now: to vote non-resident Italians in Italy seemed a priority 'much less than giving the vote to non- Italians living in Italy (**).
This gentleman wrote me an email after reading my comment. It was an Italian abroad, who lived a mixture of disappointment and anger by reading my words, I expounded his views in a very emotional (mentioned scenarios of immigrants who do not scruple even to learn Italian and if given the right to vote to impose the headscarf all women), and finally asked me if I continued to think so 'if I had been forced by the circumstances of life to live abroad.
(I hate it when someone uses the argument "but ah do not think so 'if ..."). Be ', dear idiot, the answer is' yes'.

(*) In reality, 'and I' has been pointed out, an argument that I would have the "moral right" to vote and 'the fact that if expatriates are not' been very willingly, but because 'forced by circumstances that were ultimately in the hands of the politicians in power (research funding, but most of all the formalities 'of employment in academia, the mass exodus of recent years and suddenly' mainly due to the collective realization that the situation did not improve and was therefore pretty useless continue to wait). With the vote then, at least in principle, could reward those who in my opinion could do something to change the situation. But aside from the fact that this is' highly uncertain (the only who had good intentions so far, at least for the problem of how to reform the system of recruitment, and 'was Mussi, and you and' collided with a wall of rubber so 'tough, by the parliamentary lobby of academic mafiosi who and 'now clear that there is no hope of improvement), the real problem;' and 'lawful vote based on their cocks? Probably, 'and it' is probably what most of the people. Pero 'makes me uncomfortable, because basically despise those who do it and I appreciate those who vote against their own interests but in favor of what it considers the collective interests.
(**) However, you may not know but the citizens Europeans already have 'the right to vote in local elections than any other European country in which they reside, then obviously I'm not the only one to think that it makes sense. Some countries, including Belgium, have also extended this right to non-EU. But only for administrative '.



Part 2: cheating you probably will never know

Ah, still another reason that makes me dubious about the concept of special seats for Italians abroad and 'always been concerns that are less controllable and therefore more 'easy to fraud. What that surely there would be even with the simple remote voting (no dedicated seats), but dedicated to the polling stations, and their oversized weight (think of the role he had in the previous legislature Pallaro) would become quite a big problem.
quote here from some email Saverio D'Auria, candidate for the constituency Europe

Dear friends,
Probably as you know, I was a candidate in the elections for the Italian Parliament, with the party "Italy of Values."
Italy has about 3 million Citizens Abroad (a big 5% of the population!) Since 2006 and "absentees" can vote by mail. The peculiarity
Is that absentees can vote for lists of Candidates who are absentees themselves.
Of course, this opens a big discussion on citizenship and right of vote: Why Should someone who was born in Switzerland or in Brasil from Italian
parents and has never lived in Italy should vote for the Italian elections ?
Well, s/he may still not be a Swiss citizen. Anyway, this is a big discussion, probably one has to make the right of vote evolve from being citizenship-related
to residency-related, but this should happen everywhere, which is quite difficult.
[...]
I was also monitoring the vote-counting for the absentees, which took place near Rome, on Monday.
617 counting positions for Europe, each with a 5-component committee + party representatives.
Each of us was entitled to monitor 56 counting committees, in partial overlap with others from the same party.
Just a summary :
we have intercepted about 20thousands fake ballots, coming mainly from Geneva, Lausanne, Basel, Lugano.
I should thank some of our colleagues from the Rome area who had volunteered to help, as party representatives, and have been unvaluable in discovering and proving the low-statistics fakes. This is another example of application of physicist's skills outside physics. I have spent Tuesday morning with the judges, they will now have the last word on the ballots and will certainly start a prosecution to find the authors of the fraud.
My conclusion is that it is easy to try a fraud with the postal ballot, but it is quite difficult to pass it through the scrutiny. Also, even 20k fake ballots would have changed very little in the final result: I was quite surprised.

At my request, further clarification:

I sent the press release from my personal e-mail, (not the party) if you can, use the copy and paste back and also my e-mail Dauria @ IDV europa.org-if you want to spread the news release.

How was intercepted?
- were obviously false and voted on by the same hands. They are all finished in a small number of seats.
As you know they are false?
- paper, color printing and other than normal, but all have the same preferences (one of 3)
How many votes are?
- about 20,000 as estimated by us.
Some Presidents have not tout-court, in using their powers responsibly. Other
sent them to the courts for final decision.

Here the press release in Italy of Values: The

Estero de coordination, Italy of Values congratulated the presidents of the polling station, with the tellers and representatives of the lists that have managed to foil an attempt of massive electoral fraud that would have benefited the party UDC. In many of the seats in Geneva, Basel, Lausanne and Lugano have appeared markedly different from the other ballots, color, paper weight, details of the press. The cards have indicted nearly all contained a voting list for the ' UDC and preference Mauro for the Senate rests in all the sections concerned, for Emiddio Bulla the House in sections of Basel and William Cascioli the House in sections of Geneva. We investigate who the real perpetrators of the attempted fraud.
is estimated that up to a maximum of twenty thousand cards are considered false appeared in the examination. Most of them were either canceled or not awarded by most presidents seat.
Italy of Values has full confidence in the judiciary because it confirms the decisions made by presidents and why individuals and prosecute the perpetrators of the attempted fraud.
What happened shows that the electoral law for the foreign jurisdiction si presta a tentativi di brogli elettorali, ma anche che i tentativi grossolani sono subito scoperti da tutto il personale dei seggi , che si è comportato in maniera esemplare, ricorrendo subito alla magistratura presente sul sito dello spoglio, a Castelnuovo di Porto. Aspettiamo con ansia l'esito delle indagini sui risvolti penali dell'accaduto, in modo da poter stabilire con certezza i responsabili del massiccio tentativo di frode e i dettagli delle modalità di tali tentativi, anche per porvi rimedio preventivamente in occasione delle prossime elezioni.

Per chi fosse curioso, qui anche i risultati elettorali nella circoscrizione Europa (sui motivi sociologici di tale peculiarita' ho un'opinione, ma si potrebbe discutere a lungo):

The results are still provisional, pending the exam of the the fake ballots.
As far as I know the high court has confirmed excluding about 3000 ballots, close to 100% of those examined to now.
The results for the Italian expatriates in Europe are only listed by La Repubblica in a correct way:
http://www.repubblica.it/speciale/2008/elezioni/camera/europa.html
Democrats (centre-left for Veltroni) 40.2% 3 seats in the house, 1 in the Senate
Italia dei Valori (centre-left for Veltroni) 8.2% 1 seat in the House
PDL (centre-right for Berlusconi) 33.8% 2 seats in the House, 1 in the Senate
UDC (centre right for Casini) 4.8%
Rainbow Left (left wing coalition) 4.2%
Socialist party (unclear to me Which side, Probably center left) 3.2% 1.8%
Far right wing left wing
Far
1.2% 0.9% For the monarchy

conclude with a message of hope, hoping it bodes well for the new government of all Italians to complete this term certainly a harbinger of satisfaction:

Eastern Shore Ghost Sightings

"I'm here to stop the Romanization of Slavic languages." Postcards from the Balkans to Southern, # 2

Obviously, every time I promise myself to follow up a post events happening in the real world that distract me from my duties as Internet users.
And the result is' that in the meantime the world is changing, and things happen.
For example I wanted to tell the climate of expectation that could be seen in Macedonia, NATO's decision whether to invite or not to join this small country.
It seems that the USA is delighted to invite the extended family, and no other member of the alliance had anything or 'objection, except Greece. And these kinds of decisions it takes the unanimity '.
I attended a fascinating news from the dramatic tones, which passed by a press conference with Greek Minister conciliatory voice explained that they were not asking that much, only to change name (such as Upper Macedonia), the American representative who recommended the two litigants to reach an agreement very quickly, 'cause that would be the NATO meeting (for reasons not explained, and perhaps already' know all those parts, but not me) the last possible train to get an invitation for membership.
sounded a lot like a "and changed the name up, that cost you," to which the Macedonians with whom I had the good fortune to watch TV at that time (and probably all the Macedonians in front of the tv all the country at that time ) railed against the screen as he spoke.
few days ago I read that nothing in the end, Greece has maintained the veto and there 'was an invitation from NATO to Macedonia.
and I 'sorry, really seemed to keep us.



But pick up where you interrupted last post:

Macedonia and Bulgaria, Bulgaria
never did too many stories to Macedonia and recognizes it as a state. The Bulgarians are, however, 'unanimously agree on one fact: there is Macedonia, but the Macedonians do not.
My Travel Guide Sofia, in describing the relations of similarity with the rest of the Bulgarian Slavic, specifically with regard to the Macedonian language that it does not exist, is in fact a dialect of Bulgarian. Predictably, a Macedonian and mention this' cause of seizures.
An important Bulgarian town, which I read an interesting piece on the free magazine of Bulgaria Air, is presented as the author of several best-selling book, including one titled "The ten lies of Macedonia".
tells me of a discussion among some of my companions local Macedonians and some Bulgarians regard to membership of a certain famous folk song, which the Bulgarians considered indisputably part of the Bulgarian tradition. The song is called "Eagle you drink water from the river Vardar," or something like that. The river Vardar Macedonia and does not pass through Bulgaria. Although this may seem a convincing argument, I begin now to understand the psychology of the Balkan enough to figure out why for the river Vardar and Bulgarian Bulgarian .

Macedonia and Serbia
I did not understand whether relations with Serbia are good or bad. Probably both.
There 's a long and complicated story that involves an important prelate in the Orthodox and the Macedonians will be very happy to tell with passion why the Serbs are in the wrong. The Orthodox churches are, if I understand correctly, national. That there is a Greek Orthodox Church, a Serb, and so on., And that of Constantinople, and 'only first among equals. During titismo the Macedonian church and 'declared independent from Serbia, the latter chose not to make too many stories at the time because' given the time it was better for any church to keep a low profile. Finished
communism, dissolved the then Yugoslavia, the issue began to heat up immediately. Currently in Macedonia are Macedonian Orthodox Church and the Serbian Orthodox Church in Macedonia, the latter largely minority, and both Serbia and Macedonia are exploiting the business in key nationalism.
But apart from that, economic ties are very close (which has meant 'that the embargo on Serbia has also hit hard in Macedonia that had nothing to do) and the question of recognition of Kosovo has further approached the two countries.



Macedonia and USA
Gia 'I said the matter of the invitation to join NATO, advocated by the United States. The U.S. has however already 'very strategic bases in Macedonia.
E 'currently under construction on a ridiculously huge portion of the hill looming over the city 'of Skopje, a new American embassy . It 's so huge and bunkeriforme that you can not' help but think that it resembles mica in an embassy, but rather to a military base.
The old U.S. embassy and 'still in use. It looks like an embassy classical, apart from the ' massive deployment of security measures .

countries that are sympathetic to the Macedonian
In general, the criterion that a country is sympathetic to the Macedonian and 'that no boundaries. For example, do not have anything to say about the Bosnians.
Also, surprisingly, have sympathy for Turkey. And that although their heroes the past have given their lives to get rid of them, and repression has been tough, and in every church we are told that the Turks were great persecutors of Christians (in various places but I read that the Turks were so tolerant of Orthodox Christians We also profit from, and that the relatively small portion of converts to Islam did so because 'what' guaranteed tax benefits and opportunities' career in the state apparatus, but maybe it's different historical moments, and we know that the memory history of the people and 'individually selective).
Kemal Ataturk and 'born in Bitola, in Macedonia, a city' that is still 'very proud of what' and honored him with a museum.
Ali Pasha Mosque in Skopje, and 'now Turks in restructuring funds, it said the billboard contract.

as I know there 'a significant Turkish minority in Macedonia, unlike in Bulgaria where the taxi driver complained of the existence of this region of the country where all were Turks with Bulgarian passport, but Turks (do not remember how had come to talk about what '). Distracted for a moment I thought it was strange that no one could think of a very simple solution: restore the region to Turkey. Then I remembered that probably when we talk about these things than you have in mind another simple solution in principle, that 'owning the land and expel its inhabitants.



The hero of the Macedonian
In a church in the center of Skopje, the remains of Gotse Delchev , which 'is a small museum dedicated to explaining the deeds. (Note: Now I learn from Wikipedia that the Bulgarians consider them a patriot, and that in fact the question is not 'even so' farfetched as it sounds.)
Despite the emphatic tone of the panels of this museum, I understand that the act more 'heroic and significant that he made before he died as a turd in a gun battle with police and' was as follows: it has kidnapped an American missionary.



The strange civil war
In 90s, the great Macedonian film "Before the Rain (Milcho Manchevski) made it clear that the next ethnic civil war in the Balkans could have been in Macedonia between Macedonians and Albanians in Macedonia as such.
In practice there is not a war 'never was. But they will tell you all, there 'was something.
What? On this everyone agrees: no one knows what happened.
Some people have died, no one knows how many. There were agreements that have made a large portion of the country officially bilingual, and have given much power to political parties representing the community 'Albanian, complete with obligatory representation in the government and veto power.
(Note: if you think this is anti-democratic, and of course as' unanimous opinion of all the Macedonian ethnic Macedonian, try to reflect on the fact that confiscation artificially representativeness' of a minority may be the only sensible solution when the majority can 'really be tempted to do more openly against the minority. Mental exercise: if it had existed in Weimar Germany a similar system, with the Jewish side with veto power, the alliance of the National Socialist Party with the conservatives and the nationalists could not have been born and Hitler did not take the power so 'easily.)
