Twenty years fa migliaia di berlinesi, alla notizia che gli abitanti della parte est avrebbero potuto andare a far visita ad amici e parenti dell’ovest, si riversarono in piazza e andarono verso il muro scavalcandolo per riunificarsi ai berlinesi occidentali.
Il muro cadde nella notte e nei giorni successivi. Quell’evento fu l’emblema del crollo del sistema comunista che aveva caratterizzato, insieme all’area NATO, la bipolarizzazione del secondo dopo guerra. Con il crollo del Muro si pensa che sia definitivamente terminata un’epoca dominata da due superpotenze, tanto che Francis Fukuyama - studioso americano - arriva a scrivere un saggio dal titolo “The End of History and the last man (La fine della storia e l'ultimo uomo)”.
That wall came down in Berlin is the best example that we can live in peace and without walls.
That wall came down in Berlin is not the only nor the last wall fell. While many other walls are still standing and others have been built in recent years, there is a wall that is falling in recent days. Is not collapsing under the blows of a pickaxe, but thanks to the determination and the stubbornness of a man who works as the President of the United States of America.
Yesterday, the House gave the green light to the first health reform sought by President Obama, now missing ok Senate passage difficult and complex but at the same time historical. If it is approved by the end year health care reform that provides assistance to approximately 50 million Americans who now have none, would mean it would fall another wall, an invisible wall because of indifference, discrimination and exclusion. A wall that divides those who can afford to be treated for what he and those who can afford it simply because it did not.
Breaking all the walls: this is the goal of the twenty-first century, this is the objective of the generation born and raised in the post-ideological world in the European Union, not of division. Michael White
