  • Larouche in Italy: Take the Lead for Eurasian Development
    EIRFeature LaRouche in Italy: Take the Lead for Eurasian Development by Claudio Celani For the second time in a month, Lyndon LaRouche visited Italy, a country where he has high recognition and where, last year, the national Chamber of Deputies approved a resolution calling for a “new world financial architecture” oriented toward productive investment, not speculation—as LaRouche’s proposed New Bretton Woods system specifies. From May 5-8, LaRouche paid a visit to the northern Italian cities of Vicenza and Milan, holding public events and private meetings. In this trip, as in the previous one, LaRouche called on Italian leaders to break with the new “Roman imperial” policy of the Bush Administration, and to join ranks with its European allies in organizing for a Eurasian development policy (see EIR, April 25). Italy plays a special role in the Eurasian project, because of its natural projection into the Mediterranean Sea, toward the Mideast, which is the crossroads between Eurasia and Africa. A special feature of LaRouche’s visit this time was the expansion of the LaRouche Youth Movement to Italy. Vicenza: A High-Export Region On May 5, LaRouche was the main guest speaker at a conference at the Vicenza Chamber of Commerce, organized by EIR and by the International Strategic Politi- cal Economic Institute (ISIES), founded by a group of businessmen from the region. Vicenza represents a singularity known to LaRouche, who was there already in July 2001: A city of 200,000, Vicenza has a high density of small and medium- sized enterprises, and alone exports more than the nation of Greece.
