Humor Chic Holocaust Memorial Day - Please, open your mind! Anne Frank and John Galliano "NO RACISM" "NO ANTISEMITISM" by aleXsandro Palombo



Berlusconi defends Mussolini, draws outrage from political left
Former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi triggered outrage from Italy's political left on Sunday with comments defending fascist wartime leader Benito Mussolini at a ceremony commemorating victims of the Nazi Holocaust.

Speaking at the margins of the event in Milan, Berlusconi said Mussolini had been wrong to follow Nazi Germany's lead in passing anti-Jewish laws but that he had in other respects been a good leader.
"It's difficult now to put yourself in the shoes of people who were making decisions at that time," said Berlusconi, who is campaigning for next month's election at the head of a coalition that includes far-right politicians whose roots go back to Italy's old fascist party.
"Obviously the government of that time, out of fear that German power might lead to complete victory, preferred to ally itself with Hitler's Germany rather than opposing it," he said.
"As part of this alliance, there were impositions, including combating and exterminating Jews," he told reporters. "The racial laws were the worst fault of Mussolini as a leader, who in so many other ways did well," he said, referring to laws passed by Mussolini's fascist government in 1938.
Although Mussolini is known outside Italy mostly for the alliance with Nazi Germany, his government also paid for major infrastructure projects as well as welfare for supporters.
Berlusconi's comments overshadowed Sunday's commemoration of thousands of Jews and others deported from Italy to the Nazi death camps of eastern Europe. They were condemned as "disgusting" by the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), which is leading in the polls ahead of the February 24-25 election.
"Our republic is based on the struggle against Nazi fascism and these are intolerable remarks which are incompatible with leadership of democratic political forces," said Marco Meloni, the PD's spokesman for institutional affairs.
Antonio Ingroia, a former anti-mafia magistrate campaigning at the head of a separate left-wing coalition, said Berlusconi was "a disgrace to Italy".
AMBIGUOUS
It was not the first time Berlusconi has defended Mussolini, whose status in Italy remains deeply ambiguous 67 years after he was executed by communist partisans while trying to flee to Switzerland in April, 1945.
Many Italian politicians, including the speaker of the Lower House of parliament, Gianfranco Fini, come from the ranks of the old Italian Social Movement (MSI) which grew out of the fascist party, although Fini and others have renounced the far right.
Others, including Francesco Storace, Berlusconi's candidate for president of the Lazio region, have stayed true to what they see as the "social-right" tradition of the fascist movement.
Monuments to Mussolini, who came to power in 1922, still dot many Italian cities, including Rome, where a column to Il Duce stands close to the city's main football stadium, within a stone's throw of the foreign ministry.
Although never as fervently anti-Semitic as his Nazi allies, Mussolini's government persecuted Italy's Jewish population, which was then estimated to number about 40,000, according to the Jewish Contemporary Documentation Centre in Milan.
The 1938 laws imposed oppressive restrictions on Jews and some 10,000 are estimated to have been deported from Italy between September 1943 and March 1945. Most of them died in the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland.
While anti-Semitic behavior has not been as prominently reported in Italy in recent years as in neighboring countries such as France, acts ranging from anti-Jewish graffiti to chants at football matches occur periodically.
"We must be very careful to ensure that these sparks, which recur every now and then, cannot bring back tragedies which humanity should not suffer again," outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti said on Sunday.

Humor Chic - "I LOVE HITLER" John Galliano is Back! by aleXsandro Palombo


The Anti-Defamation League said disgraced designer John Galliano has changed his beliefs and now understands the evils of anti-Semitism.
Galliano, who lost his job as the top designer at Christian Dior after he was arrested for making anti-Semitic statements at a Paris bar, had dedicated "significant" time to understanding anti-Semitism, the ADL's National Director Abraham Foxman said in a statement Friday. 
Mr. Galliano has worked arduously in changing his worldview and dedicated a significant amount of time to researching, reading, and learning about the evils of anti-Semitism and bigotry,” Foxman said. 
Galliano blamed his behavior, which included professing his love for Adolf Hitler, on addictions to drugs and alcohol. A French court later ruled he had made "public insults based on origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity" in several incidents.
The ADL welcomed Galliano’s “recovery and redemption,” adding: “Along his journey to recovery he met with us on numerous occasions. He has accepted full responsibility for his previous remarks and understands that hurtful comments have no place in our society.” 
The statement also welcomed an invitation by the designer Oscar de la Renta for Galliano to spend time in de la Renta’s studio.
We wish him much success and look forward to working with him again in the near future as a spokesman against anti-Semitism, intolerance and bigotry,” the ADL said.

Humor Chic - John Galliano's comeback courtesy of Oscar de la Renta



John Galliano will make his fashion return with a three week stint in Oscar de la Renta's New York studio.

'John and I have known each other for many years and I am a great admirer of his talent. He has worked long and hard on his recovery and I am happy to give him the opportunity to reimmerse himself in the world of fashion and reacclimate in an environment where he has been so creative.' de la Renta said. 

"I am an alcoholic," Galliano told WWD. "I have been in recovery for the past two years. Several years prior to my sobriety, I descended into the madness of the disease. I said and did things which hurt others, especially members of the Jewish community. I have expressed my sorrow privately and publicly for the pain which I caused, and I continue to do so. I remain committed to making amends to those I have hurt."

'I am grateful to Oscar beyond words for inviting me to spend time with him in the familiar surroundings of a design studio. His support and faith in me is humbling.' Galliano said.
This is really interesting. What do you think about it?

法国2014重提富人税 

2012年12月29日,法国最高法院否决征收富人税提议,理由是:若一对夫妇中的一人年薪超过120万欧元,则他们必须为超出部分交纳高达75%的个人所得税;而每人年收入在100万欧元以下的夫妇却无需交纳。这违反了税收平等原则。
  总理Jean-Marc Ayrault在提议被否决后立即发表申明称将会重新提交议案。Jean-Marc Ayrault表示,法国个人所得税是以家庭为单位来征收,而这一新税种则针对每个自然人,这样会在纳税人中造成不平等。法院否决的是是征收方式而并非完全否决征收富人税。
  政府发言人Najat Vallaud-Belkacem 也在新闻发布会中表示:“该项税收仍然是政府通过公正振兴法国的一部分。”
  据bloomberg报道,富人税提议遭否局令法国政府在2013年损失了5亿欧元的预期税收。而这些税收的贡献者则包括演员 Gerard Depardieu和法国首富LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA (MC.PA)首席执行官Bernard Arnault贝尔纳·阿尔诺,后者在9月份被踢爆试图入籍比利时,12月,据比利时媒体报道,因Bernard Arnault贝尔纳·阿尔诺在比利时居住未满三年,申请入籍受阻。

Venezuela searches for missing plane, Italian fashion boss

Boats, helicopters and divers were searching off the coast of Venezuela Sunday for a director of Italy's famed Missoni fashion house and five others who haven't been heard from in more than two days.
Venezuelan officials said search efforts to locate the small plane Vittorio Missoni and his wife were flying in were intensifying. Authorities say the plane last made contact about 10 nautical miles from shore on Friday.


"All the organizations involved will not diminish the intensity of the search and also will not discard any hypothesis that could lead us the the location of the plane," Venezuela's air transportation ministry said in a statement Sunday.
More than 385 people were involved in the search, including military personnel, divers, civil protection search teams and volunteers, the ministry said.
Italy's ANSA news agency reported that rough seas were complicating the investigation.

Vittorio Missoni, 58, runs the fashion house with his siblings, Luca and Angela.
The company Missoni confirmed in a statement Saturday that Vittorio Missoni was on the plane with his wife.
"The small plane they were traveling on has disappeared. This is all the information currently available," the company statement said.
The plane left Los Roques, an archipelago and resort, Friday morning bound for the international airport outside Caracas, about 90 miles away, Venezuelan Interior Minister Nestor Reverol Torres said.
Venezuelan authorities said four Italian tourists and two crew members were onboard.
Missoni, which boasts such celebrity clients as Katie Holmes, Cameron Diaz and Nicole Richie, is a high-end fashion label known for its patterned knitwear and signature zigzag stripe.
The private company, based in Milan, has estimated annual sales of between $75 million and $100 million.
The brand, first created in 1953 as a knitwear workshop in Gallarte, Italy, has expanded from apparel to housewares, a fragrance line and a chain of hotels.
Stefano Tonchi, editor-in-chief of W magazine, called the Missonis "one of the most important Italian fashion families," crediting their move to Milan in the late 1960s with helping make the northern Italian city the fashion hub it is today.
Vittorio Missoni and his siblings took over the brand in 1996 with an eye toward marketing to a younger consumer.
