37TH CONGRESS

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS SPEAKERS AND ATTENDEES

It is impossible, in such a short space, or even in a whole issue of

Transnational, to give an exhaustive report of the proceedings of the

Congress, the depth and the quality of the debate which, although condensed

into just two packed days, was extremely rich. Nor is it possible to fully

convey the importance and significance of the level of presence.

The proceedings opened with the reports by the President of the General

Council, Olivier Dupuis (now the Secretary of the Radical Party), the

Treasurer Ottavio Lavaggi, and Emma Bonino (a written report, read out by

the interim Secretary Luca Frassineti).

Lawrence Hayes, the last person to be sentenced to death in New York,

brought his greetings and an account of his dramatic experience. There

followed speeches by the Azerbaijan deputy Arif Kafarogly Ragim Zade, the

Esperantist Hans Erasmus, and the Portuguese deputies Joao de

Menezes-Ferreira and Paulo Casaca.

Lenora Fulani, one of the main leaders of the African Americans, and a

candidate in the presidential elections in 1988 and 1992, spoke of the

problems and the possibilities of the "third party" in the United States.

There were then speeches by Valerij Ivasiuk, First Vice-President of the

Ecology Commission of the Armenian parliament; Piero Verni, President of

the Italia-Tibet Association; and Carla Rossi, Secretary of the Radical

Radikala Asocio, illustrated the RP campaign on the international language,

while Sergio D'Elia, Secretary of Hands Off Cain, spoke about the campaign

for the abolition of the death penalty by the year 2000. Danilo Quinto,
