English to Italian: International Socialism Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - English When Egypt’s parliamentary elections of December 2011 brought success for the Muslim Brotherhood many journalists wrote off the country’s mass movement: “Arab Spring” had become “Islamist Winter”.4 They presented the Tahrir events as an interlude—an episode which merely prepared the ground for religious reaction. In conservative media and think-tanks there was palpable relief at the Brotherhood’s electoral advance, seen as confirmation that Arab-Muslim societies were unable to sustain popular movements for radical change. In Israel, prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintained that Arab countries were “not moving forward toward progress; they are moving backwards”.5 When Mohamed Mursi, candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood, won a presidential run-off in June 2012, Islamophobes charged their pens. According to the American think-tank Foreign Policy, it was now a matter of “containing the Islamist revolution… It’s time to retrench and protect US interests from the Islamist tidal wave”.6 In France Le Monde reported Marine Le Pen, leader of the neo-fascist Front National, to the effect that: “The ‘Arab Spring’ has changed into an Islamist Winter”; the key outcome, she said, would be a wave of emigration from Arab countries, prompting fear among the people of Europe.7 Here, Tahrir Square was not a reference point for global resistance; rather, events in Egypt were a further round in the imagined “clash of civilisations”, demonstrating that volatile and backward Muslim cultures of North Africa threatened societies of Europe and North America.
Translation - Italian Quando le elezioni parlamentari egiziane del 2011 hanno registrato il successo dei Fratelli musulmani molti giornalisti hanno considerato spacciato il movimento di massa del paese: la “primavera araba” si era trasformata nell’ ” inverno Islamista”4. Gli eventi di piazza Tahrir vennero presentati come un interludio, un episodio che era servito semplicemente a preparare il terreno per la reazione religiosa. Nei media più conservatori e tra i gruppi di esperti il sollievo all’avanzata elettorale della Fratellanza è stato palpabile; avanzata vista come la conferma che le società Arabo-musulmane non sono capaci di supportare movimenti popolari a sostegno di un cambiamento radicale. In Israele, il primo ministro Benjamin Netanyahu ha affermato che i paesi arabi “non stanno andando verso il progresso, bensì stanno tornando indietro”.5 Quando Mohamed Mursi, il candidato dei Fratelli Musulmani, ha vinto il ballottaggio alle presidenziali nel giugno del 2012 gli islamofobi si sono fiondati sulle loro penne. Secondo il gruppo di esperti americano del Foreign Policy era giunto il tempo di “contenere la rivoluzione islamista…è tempo di proteggere gli interessi americani dall’ondata islamista”6. In Francia, Le Monde ha riportato le parole di Marine Le Pen, leader del Fronte Nazionale neo-fascista: “La primavera araba si è trasformata in un inverno Islamista”. Il risultato principale, ha detto, sarebbe un’ondata di migrazione dai paesi arabi che indurrebbe alla paura le popolazioni europee7. Ecco, piazza Tahrir non era il punto di riferimento per una resistenza globale; piuttosto, gli eventi in Egitto avevano rappresentato un ulteriore round dell’immaginario “scontro tra civiltà” che dimostrerebbe che le pericolose e arretrate culture musulmane del Nord Africa rappresentano una minaccia per le società Europee e Nord Americane.
