Missione Isaf in Afghanistan
03/08/2007 "Invitiamo i deputati e i senatori che hanno creduto alla lotta per la pace di essere conseguenti con le loro idee, votando no al rifinanziamento della missione in Afghanistan". E' il senso dell'appello sottoscritto da numerose personalità per sollecitare l'obiezione di coscienza tra i parlamentari alla vigilia del voto sulla missione militare a Kabul. L'appello ha già superato le 2 mila adesioni, tra le quali spiccano quelle di Dario Fo, padre Zanotelli, Vauro, Gianni Minà, Beppe Grillo, Moni Ovadia e la partigiana e deputata alla Costituente, Teresa Mattei. La Camera oggi ha rinviato a domani il voto finale sul decreto che finanzia la missione in Afghanistan. Per le missioni militari italiane all'estero si prevede una spesa di più di un miliardo di euro e per la missione in Afghanistan sono previsti 310 milioni di euro.
