ideo mono Identitaires

par Alain Maskens

Bart De Wever:

"Who Dutch speaking part of it, who do not speak Dutch belongs to an" other "group "

Amin Maalouf:

"Chacun d'entre we should be encouraged to assume its own diversity, to develop its identity as the sum of its diverse membership, instead of confusing it with a single, built in membership supreme instrument of exclusion and sometimes an instrument of war "

The promotion of nationalism identity by N-VA, the CD & V, and by proponents of the "nation francophone" leads me to repeat here some excerpts from a text written in ... 1999.

"... Last year I was struck particularly by the growth of the extreme right in several countries in Europe: in addition to Flanders, it increased in Austria, Denmark, Spain, Norway and Switzerland in particular, but also in Turkey, Bosnia. And ultra-nationalist parties find themselves actually in power in many countries outside Europe. This despite the fact that regularly spread in the sight of all the dramas or units to such abuses. In Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Timor, Sri Lanka, Chechnya ...

Warning: There is nationalism and nationalism.

(re) development of roots, feelings of belonging, contribute fundamentally to the human wealth of individuals and societies. The consciousness of being a responsible member of a national community, to exercise civic responsibility, are the basis of various political expressions. As the defense or promotion of a culture, language, religion, ethnic group, country, not based on the exclusion of others, one can only applaud . Otherwise, the worst is feared. It flies in self defense " legitimate offense" .

So when is the rocker? As soon as a pressure group trying to build a membership in an absolute, pure, therefore exclusive of any other, and form the basis for reflection and action or public policy . This membership is then moved into the collective imagination in an "identity" pure and exclusive, based on an original and fundamental differentiation. That's what I propose to call "ideologies single identity" . I use that term rather than nationalism because it has various meanings, which themselves have evolved over time. Some, positive, constructive approach the patriotism, others suggest the contrary this feeling qu'exploitèrent fascists and Nazis. In addition, the term "single-identity" says the essence of the danger that lies in the fact of not upgrading the roots of affiliations, but rather to summarize the individuals one of their possible identities. Finally, this definition encompasses the concept of "racism", while extending all the criteria of identity (language, religion, nation, culture ...) that could be exploited for mobilize against the "other". And it is indeed ideologies, creations of the mind designed to underpin a political action.

What I want to emphasize here, the cry of alarm that I would like, is this: anything, anywhere in the world, expressing a behavior of single-identity, gradually increasing tolerance global discourse ultra-nationalist or racist. And the probability of occurrence increases in proportion to the dramas. In 1940, there was obviously a Hitler. But Hitler was only possible due to the gradual rise of nationalism and widespread and discourse identity or identity discourse addiction. And that it was the responsibility of every individual, every day, over the years. Allow me this picture: When arrive the storm, lightning is always materialized at a particular point, high tree, tower, jutting rock. But this is not the rock that creates a storm. But the accumulation of micro-electrical charges within each countless droplets that form clouds. In the skies over Europe, the clouds seem to me more responsible.

And the limit is very close between the promotion of a community, a language, culture, and the establishment of a proposed single-identity increasingly sectarian and exclusive. Many historical examples are there to remind us.

Warning: this is the symptom of mild mockery, the refusal to consider the views of the other, whether on the contrary, the purest of racism if true, do not we all, to varying degrees Various trends in the exclusion of the other, trends to decrease mono-identity? Progress towards a democratic, united, just, through an examination of conscience.

And what applies to individuals, applies to political parties. It is naive to believe that all bad extremists are the Vlaams Blok or National Front, and all good Democrats in other parties. If the dominant discourse is defined as mono-identity against the other, if the tolerance is hardly the minority, whatever "good" reasons, it opens the way to the worst excesses. To avoid abuses, it is not enough that the democratic parties "avoid hate speech": it must resolutely abandon ideology and discourse single identity. This is only a backdrop clearly democratic and humanist nature but appear clearly outrageous speech xenophobic and racist parties.

Some noble and generous as can be the commitment to a particular affiliation, the danger of drift mono-identity must impose the greatest caution. Many democratic parties tend to say: "T out this is only for extremist parties. We, we are Democrats (because "not racist" or "not xenophobic)." My perspective is different : All those active in the public sphere, journalists, politicians, teachers, everyone must keep their distance markedly compared to the ideology and discourse mono-identity. A fortiori they profess allegiance to a democratic ideology.

Jacques Ghysbrecht: Pourquoi j'ai Bruxsel Adhere to Pro - 1 / 2

1. "Sensibility "

Like Brussels.

I was born. I knew in the summer, these beautiful tram cars which were a long bench in the open. I knew Longchamp Avenue, the Avenue of Nations. You see ...

Things have changed since then, but not the affection I have for my town.
It is not the same. In the English bookshop where I go, girls smiling that you pack your purchases wear the hijab. They come from neighborhoods where there are next to garbage cans, rotten oranges, broken televisions. And at the same time, I see around me in a week, more than I saw Maserati once a month. It's a bit dizzying. But nowhere in Europe, I found this variety a good boy, I have seen such potential for wealth, and so much vitality.

I love this city, and I wish I could continue to love it. I want to make you feel better, everyone will feel welcome, even and especially those who come to do to settle, which does not know us, even those that merely 'spend, frontier workers are the 300,000 that "commuters who arrive daily in our stations, use our roads.

And I do not think that's where we go. All these people who negotiate these informants, these preforms, these mediators, conciliators n these have nothing to do in our city. We're problem. They have to refinance. In these negotiations, we are defended by a Mons. Why? Where does he find his voice, our advocate? In this reasoning, would you say, Liege, Charleroi, everybody wants to be. You'd be wrong: Brussels is not a city, it's a region. Moreover, it is a multilingual region whose membership to the Francophonie is an accessory. We

refinance ... It's very important that. All these people who arrived, which bind here, mostly young, who have children is a blessing. Finally, it may be a blessing. One does not naively optimistic. Diversity is fine, but you have to receive his guests. To begin, we must show them who we are. Hospitality is proud of his house is to show it. But they must understand, too, or at least they want to understand. This is called integration. And why it takes money, lots of money. They have, from early childhood, the best schools, best teachers. God knows how many generations have been sacrificed. 20% unemployment in one of the richest cities in Europe! And that unemployment affects mainly children under 30 years. In these unemployed there are not only newly arrived, of course. The same statistics suggest they are not the majority. This misery is for everybody. More reason for us to put. This youth that we must learn, that it's a ball! What a terrible failure.

But if we succeed! ... Here is the jackpot. Among Brussels, 47% are under 35 years! But nearly a quarter of 18-24 year olds complete their school career without a degree, while the average is 17% in Wallonia and 10% in Flanders. If given the means of accomplishment, with all this youth, this is a new beginning for our city. Yep.

And everything is still feasible. Despite these terrible inequalities, Brussels is still livable. Look around and compare. Do not go away. Take Amsterdam. Who has not read with horror Bolkestein's call, suggesting the Jews to leave town for them became too unsafe? And around Paris, the records of cars torched on the night of the new year! We are far, but if we continue like this ...
