aftermath explosive assassination by the Swiss Embassy in Rome, in a statement issued to the press Micheline Calmy-Rey, Federal Councillor in charge of the Department of Foreign Affairs, said the sympathy of the caretaker government to seriously wounded by the explosion of the Embassy parcel bomb and ordered the attack, calling it a heinous and unforgivable act. He also informed that the Swiss government is in contact with the Italian to be kept informed of the investigation.
That's it. This is the reaction of our government in the face of a serious offense, "heinous and unforgivable."
Question: If this attack, with a seriously injured person, had happened in the Italian diplomatic mission in Geneva or Berne would happen?
Answer: a big mess. Italian politicians have certainly had no reactions so calm.
When did Italian politicians have shown calm or at least "diplomatic propriety" towards our country? In recent times ever. They too, like politicians in other countries (Germany, France, United States) have not had the slightest hesitation to rail against our institutions and our values \u200b\u200bwith threats and insults to which our politicians have reacted with the usual apathy, submissive, respectful to avoid offending the governments of these countries.
Perhaps the Italian Minister Giulio Tremonti had shown a similar diplomatic tact when he declared its intention to undermine our tax system and our more than legitimate banking secrecy? When we had defined all of the mafia and had expressed disappointment that many EU countries enter into bilateral agreements with us, "thus violating the rules of the EU directive on taxation of savings income"? No, he had had no diplomatic tact.
It was erected on its heels as a minister and he had fired on allegations burst, regardless of what he thought the Swiss government. Then, still not happy, we had slapped on a black list, although this was in sharp conflict with existing agreements between Switzerland and OECD.
We're still in Italy and we move on to another character in the field of diplomatic tact would have much to learn. Foreign Minister Franco Frattini.
course, yesterday after the embassy bombing Frattini had words of support and sympathy for Switzerland but he had shown any respect diplomatic when - months ago - had ordered the Swiss government to lift the ban of entry into Space Schengen a hundred dignitaries including also the Libyan Gaddafi clan full? The answer is no.
The ban, we remember, had been decreed by our Federal Council for the unjustified taken hostage by the Libyan government of two Swiss nationals, Max Gold and Rachid Hamdani. Seeing topple the friendship between Rome and Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi, Minister Frattini had thundered against Bern and had threatened the wrath of the devil if the ban was not immediately lifted.
Here, these are a few examples to remind you how we are treated and regarded in Europe as an anything. We are spun at a rate dictated by other nations that are especially strong because their governments and their politicians have the face of the arrogance and tolla minutes instead our leaders are lacking.
The Swiss Embassy Rome was the victim of an attack by Italian anarchists. Okay, it was not the only one affected. Okay, it makes no sense to blame the Italian government. Anything goes. But it was an opportunity for us to feel, perhaps even exaggerating the angry tone, just to stand up and show us that we react strongly when we are threatened. But no. Sadly not.
