“Civil community will change things”

A large flag The word “Red Starz and” In Syria “opens the road that reaches Damascus from Lebanon’s distance. A scar half -bust What is in the image of Bashar al -Assad. After Civic column The border between Lebanon and Syria, led by Medieval Ahmed al-Shahra, also known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, is controlled by Hath Tahrir al-Sham. What is a smile and an extraordinary pass, new Syrian leadership reserves for Lebanon and Syrians have long been waiting and restrictions.

Two months ago, the excitement of enthusiasm in Damascus gave the desire to reconsider, but the pain of the unknown could become a “new regime”, and many Syrians call it. This is the place where fanpage.IT meets Jiovana CavaloThe Italian activist for human rights has been carrying out the support of the Syrian civil society in Syria and Italy since 2019.

One of these is the plan Jallaology It is part of the general campaign of the National House to change the order of things. Jallaology This is aimed at promoting a secure and legal access policy for the European Union, and the open and incident policy to re -put it to the center of the European agenda. Today, Kavalo is located in Syria with the Italian delegation, “Syria seen by the eyes of the public”.

Why did you return to Syria?

First, we have added a certain inquiry into the status of kindergarten, power, and the role of the Civil Society in the democratic change of Syria, to distribute information to Syrian students annually on the possibilities of requesting visas in Italy and Europe. We firmly believe that the most important soldier of this chess board, Syria, is a civil society.

I openly refer to the poverty of the wage economy, not only the economic obstacles that have led to the production of the labor market and the market market, but also the percentage of the Syrian population today is below the threshold of poverty. The change is now a huge social emergency in the hands of the government, which we believe that it should represent the plural of the population as much as possible, which must be an active and participation.

He has never stopped going to Syria since 2019, how is the situation today?

Those we met talk about the old regime, as new today. In the view of people in the area, it makes sense to understand that this change so far is only the color of the flag, which is the current power system intact: a self -declared person is in power, he promised to open a volume phase, however, it is late.

Does Syrian trust the new government?

Some people who respond to this question say they have faith in the government, but have only two months since the HTS men took power, and think they are not confident in the people.

Another very important aspect is the most serious crime of the old government, which believes that the Syrian people can not be worse than we have already been. Hope and trust are born from this. Today, no one wants the strength of managing Syria, and everyone believes that society and civil society will change things. So the big question that the Syries asks today is: Does the government believe in the Syrians?

What is the role of Italy in this new Syria?

When the embassy was opened and sent to the ambassador last August, Italy decided to normalize relations with Assad Syria. A month after the collapse of the regime, our Foreign Minister visited Syria’s new interim government, and for this reason we wanted to meet the Italian ambassador to Damascus Stephano Rawaknan.

At the meeting with the embassy, ​​the first theme is to find a way to make the most important impact on people’s lives, and see a way to relax, trying to provide new life to the country from the economic and social point.

Other demands we have are related to a desirable international cooperation, which helps to overcome a humanitarian support and help to overcome the great health, economic and social crisis that has enormously immended people’s lives.

Don’t know how to go to Syria, people are hungry, and drugs are struggling to enter the country due to the ban. The other question that addressed a cooperation that can support the civil society is: This is not the question of exporting democracy, which is not the question of changing a government, changing a change, and changing a block phase. Instead, it is a question of identifying dozens of organizations that create seats of democratic use at the local level, and tries to give them the best, thus there is an awareness of the grid. We hope that Italy should play its role as these systems are supported by their functions and seats of democratic use.

Participation at this time is the only drug that can be injected into extremism, instead of the new government, despite its words. We have remembered attacks on the LGBTQ+ community over the past few days, remember the brief execution of the alavites, and the attacks on Christians.

What is the Vatican’s opinion compared to the status of Christians in New Syria?

We met the Apostolic Nunsio in Damascus and asked the Vatican to view us in the Christian world, especially in the Christian world, amid opportunities to protect political and religious minorities. Apostle Nunsio has given a clear message and ensures that the diaspora falls into the landscape, because for him, it is the citizenship that has to contribute to the future of Syria. We acknowledge this, but we believe that it is necessary to create guarantees to protect the minority, and this time is really in danger.

What is the position of Italy compared to the sanctions imposed on Syria?

Since we know that Italy and Europe have the desire to be relaxed. However, it is necessary to report the concerns of the Syrian citizens, and ask for the progress of this new curriculum, so that government activities are not only for the benefit of what government measures will be, but for good, citizens and cities, in fact, are now unable to live a decent life.

We met women and men who were tired of a regime in Syria for fifty years, and men and women were not charged for democracy, and it was unknown that a volume phase was not, and the meaning of rehabilitation of a democracy was severely oppressed. Dictatorship. We have seen a great suffering, and a great tragedy made us so bad.

We believe that how to establish a conversation between this and the international community is essential to support citizens and cities and their associations. The first thing we are in a hurry is that the diaspora can return to active, participate and vote, but it can return to the country in security conditions, which can only guarantee a definite international cooperation.
