  • Ciampi in China L’Ue, La Cina E Le Armi… Della Diplomazia
    Ciampi in China L’Ue, la Cina e le armi… della diplomazia di RICCARDO BAGNATO1 Prologo. Il 4 dicembre scorso il Presidente del Repubblica Carlo Azeglio Ciampi si reca in visita in Cina per cinque giorni. Una visita rinviata due volte nel corso dell’anno, fortemente voluta, sostenuta da più parti, come attesta niente po’ po’ di meno che lo stesso Oliviero Diliberto, segretario nazionale dei Comunisti italiani (“Ciampi è un magnifico ambasciatore per l’Italia”, ANSA, 5/12), e che però, da un lato, ha diviso la maggioranza di governo, e dall’altro, ha creato un certo imbarazzo nella società civile italiana. Il 5 dicembre, infatti, Ciampi dichiara: “Ho confermato al presidente Hu Jintao che l’Italia guarda con favore all’abolizione dell’embargo sull’esportazione delle armi e lavora attivamente per renderla possibile”. Apriti cielo. Il Ministro per le Riforme in testa, il leghista Roberto Calderoli, insieme al capogruppo della Lega Nord alla Camera Alessandro Ce', a Cesare Rizzi, capogruppo leghista in commissione Esteri della Camera, e a Cesarino Monti, capogruppo leghista in commissione attività produttive del Senato, contrattaccano duramente: “Sono allibito per le dichiarazioni fatte in Cina, riguardo alla possibile revoca dell'embargo sulle armi” (Calderoli, ANSA, 6/12); “Né Ciampi, né Fini possono decidere di assumere a nome dell’Italia una posizione favorevole alla revoca dell’embargo sulle armi nei confronti della Cina senza consultare il Parlamento” (Ce', ANSA, 7/12); “E' scandaloso che il presidente della Repubblica italiana in visita a Pechino non abbia niente di meglio da dire che schierare vergognosamente il nostro Paese per l'abolizione dell'embargo delle armi alla Cina” (Rizzi, ANSA, 7/12); “Forse è meglio che stia un po' più con le nostre piccole imprese e gli artigiani che stanno combattendo i cinesi anche in Italia più che in Cina” (Monti, ANSA, 9/12).
