The Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Anna Lindh Italia Federation support Alis and the first edition of "LET EXPO - LOGISTIC ECO TRANSPORT TRADE SHOW".
205 exhibitors, over 50,000 visitors, more than 1000 students, 100 moments of confrontation, 250 speakers.
"This is an important occasion, said President Michele Capasso, because logistics does not only transport goods: cultures, knowledge, freedom and democracy travel with goods.

Don Luigi Ciotti spoke in San Sebastiano al Vesuvio at the day "Love is not enough...Choose to be" organised by the Liceo scientifico Salvatore Di Giacomo in the presence of Mayor Panico, the school headmaster Pandolfi and a large number of students fascinated by his words on the themes of legality and the fight against mafias.
Don Luigi Ciotti in 2019 - during a ceremony at the Prefecture of Chieti - received on behalf of "Libera" the "RAFFAELE CAPASSO" MEDITERRANEAN PRIZE FOR LEGALITY.
And today it is in San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, where Raffale Capasso was Mayor of Reconstruction for 40 years in the name of legality and the fight against the Camorra and the Mafia.
The Totem for Peace in front of the San Sebastiano al Vesuvio Town Hall was made by Turin sculptor Mario Molinari, a friend of Don Luigi Ciotti.
EU-TUNISIA COOPERATION ON MIGRATION: TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE AND MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL PARTNERSHIPS
|
16 March 2022
In line with the Joint Communication on a Renewed Partnership with the Southern Neighbourhood and the New Deal on Migration and Asylum, the EU encourages more systematic efforts to coordinate actions with neighbouring countries. To strengthen this coordination, the EU envisages the development of Migration Partnerships, as tailor-made agreements incorporating the political priorities of EU partners and countries.
In this respect, the European Institute for the Mediterranean (IEMed), in the framework of the "EuroMeSCo connecting the dots" project, and the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD), in the framework of the "EuroMed Migration 5" project, conducted this survey to reflect on the improvement of migration partnerships between the EU and the southern Mediterranean countries.
The survey targeted respondents from southern Mediterranean countries, including policy makers, experts and civil society representatives, and its results should reflect the priorities and views in the respective national contexts of southern Mediterranean countries, thus paving the way for an evidence-based approach to negotiating partnerships.
The Fondazione Mediterraneo is a founding member of the EuroMeSCo network and supports and disseminates its main activities.

THE FONDAZIONE MEDITERRANEO WITH EUROMEDCITIES AND ANNA LINDH FEDERATION ITALY PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT "CITIES STAND WITH UKRAINE”
|
15 March 2022
The Fondazione Mediterraneo with its "Euromedcities" section and the Anna Lindh Italy Federation with many of their respective members participated in the event for peace 'Cities stand with Ukraine' organised by Eurocities in Florence in Piazza Santa Croce, crowded with flags of peace and Ukraine.
A video with the recently deceased President of the European Parliament David Sassoli talking about Europe and peace, preceded by 17 bells, one for each day of the war in Ukraine, ringing from the basilica of Santa Croce opened the event.
About 20,000 people were in the square.
In his speech, delivered in 2019 in Florence on the occasion of the extraordinary city council meeting on "The legacy of Giorgio La Pira in today's Europe", Sassoli stressed: "When we have reached the end of the European construction, because we are still inside a building site and we have to send it on, we have to write a nice sign 'Work in progress' on it; when at the end the European construction will be finished and many walls will have collapsed and so much nationalist spirit will vanish to bring out how beautiful it is to feel Italian, but without this nationalist spirit that makes you be separate and different and divided from others, what will there be at the end? Europe will be our cities," he added, "and Florence will have an advantage because it has had a wealth of experience and knowledge. And it will know where to take the world and help it to grow. And to live in peace".
"This war was not started by us, this is the cynical and cruel invasion by Russia, this is the war against the Ukrainian people". This was stated by Volodymyr Zelenskyj, President of Ukraine, speaking via video link to the Eurocities event in Florence. "I greet all the friends of Ukraine, of Europe all friends of freedom I know that today you are that over 100 thousand in different squares of different cities we Ukrainians are grateful". Russian armed forces have surrounded Ukrainian cities and want to destroy them. They bomb 24 hours a day, they bomb clinics, churches, squares, which are like yours," Zelensky added. "This war is not only against Ukrainians but against the values that unite us, against our way of life" in the West. "Tell your politicians to close the skies of Ukraine", "from rockets, from Russian planes, from missiles": this is the strong appeal of the president of Ukraine, to the square in Florence. Thunderous and long applause broke out in Piazza Santa Croce as the President of Ukraine spoke from Kiev. The connection had two brief interruptions but was quickly restored. "We must stand together in the European Community, it is important for Ukraine," he said.
THE FOUNDATION PARTICIPATES IN THE EVENT "CITIES STAND WITH UKRAINE"

The President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso, the Director of the Museum of Peace Pia Molinari and other members of the institution took part in the event "Cities stand with Ukraine", organised by the Municipality of Naples as part of the initiative of Eurocities, an organisation comprising the mayors of the main European cities.
The sun of Naples like that of Odessa, the Ukrainian coastal city where the most famous Neapolitan song in the world was composed: 'O Sole Mio'. Its notes resounded on the sunny Saturday morning in Piazza Municipio, in front of the headquarters of the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Peace Museum, at the foot of the "Totem for Peace", symbol of the United States of the World.
Many associations wanted to show their solidarity with the Ukrainian people and their longing for peace, including Arci, Anpi and Acli.
The mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, and his councillors did the honours.
After hugging the Ukrainian consul Maksym Kovalenko, present in the square with his wife and two children, Manfredi asked for "clear rules" on reception: "We expect clear indications from the Ministry of the Interior and the Region on the organisational front. Let's think about the issue of the reception of minors. We have a large number of minors arriving, many of whom are unaccompanied. This is followed by the issue of school integration. These are two critical aspects that need to be defined quickly".
Gilda Sportiello and Alessandro Amitrano, MPs, but above all the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Roberto Fico, and the party leader, Giuseppe Conte, were also present in the square. "We must be able to find a way to peace. In these conditions - Fico proposed - everyone has to give up something. I am convinced that an immediate ceasefire is needed and that Moscow must recognise Kiev's independence and constitution. And that Kiev starts to speak about permanent neutrality with respect to NATO. Then we can address the subsequent issues. But we need to start with the building blocks that lead to peace".
On war, President Capasso recalled the thirty-year commitment of the Fondazione Mediterraneo for peace, the Appeal launched a few weeks ago and signed by thousands of people in the world: "Only the United States of the World will be able to ensure serenity by fighting pandemics and avoiding wars. One problem is the lack of competent Statesmen with a sense of the Common Good".
The event concluded with a tour of the square in front of the Museum of Peace by citizens and institutional and political authorities, unrolling a red banner at least forty metres long, to symbolise "the blood spilt uselessly because of violence, in this case an ignominious war".
