PD MONTAGNOLA THE CLUB HAS A NEW COORDINATOR ACTIVITIES

(updated 11.12.2008)

unanimously elected to the Circolo PD Montagnola Fabrizio Marchetti as the new Coordinator. The first meeting is scheduled for December 18 at 18 on a Tormarancia 121, with the following agenda:

- opening up the membership

- appointment of the treasurer of the club

- Any Other


OTHER CHURCH AND OTHER PD

The Government adopts double standards and two sizes: E
'enough to threaten the mobilization of the Federation of Catholic institutions to reverse, but ignored the requests of students and teachers of public schools decimated shots decrees.

There is often a church in keeping with this government: requests and receives privileges in exchange for electoral support.

And there's a part of PD in which the mixture of politics and business, the plots between managers and entrepreneurs of various kinds, and perhaps the Camorra, are now in the public domain. Many members, voters, activists are upset with this situation and demand management of power more transparent and fair. Maybe we should discuss in circles, in appropriate fora, even in an Extraordinary Congress.

Perhaps taking a cue, about the spirit of service that should animate the Statesmen, the meditations of a representative of the Church which favors more noble values, Cardinal Martini

'Conversations night in Jerusalem' Cardinal Martini


"In my life I came across a lot of terrible things, war, terrorism, the difficulties of the Church, my illness, my weakness. But my unhappiness is nothing compared to happiness. Happiness must be shared. And above all, happiness is not something that comes in and we'll just have to wait. We must seek it. "

" Anyone who has learned to trust not be afraid, has the courage to get busy, to complain that when something despicable, evil, destructive. And above all have the courage to say 'yes' when you need him. "

" Whoever reads the Bible and listen to Jesus will find that he marvels at the faith of the pagans. In a passage from the Gospel he proposes as a model priest, but the heretic, the Samaritan. When hanging from the cross in the sky welcomes the robber. The best example is Cain, God marks Cain to protect him. In the Bible God loves foreigners, help the weak, giving assistance and wants to serve all men. But men and even the Church, always run the risk of presenting itself as absolute. "

" You can not make God a Catholic. God is beyond the limits and definitions that we establish. He is not a leash. If we look at Jesus and exalt the poor, the oppressed, the sick, we go to them and touch them, God leads us out, in the immensity. It teaches us to think in an open way. "

" Fear and indifference are both present in the Church. Jesus wake up and shake up the indifferent and encourage the fearful. Today it is difficult to be part of the Church and being just a passive member. But who takes responsibility and acts can change many things. As a young bishop and also by working with young people was what helped me most to be a Christian. Christ has no other hands today and another mouth to yours and mine. "

" The Church talks a lot about sin. Is it relevant to bring up more men than they are bad? Of sin, the Church has spoken a lot, sometimes too much. Can learn from Jesus that it is better to encourage men and encourage them to fight against the sin of the world. With the 'sin of the world' the Bible does not refers only to our personal faults but to all the injustices and the weights that we inherit. Jesus calls us to collaborate in the healing of the world where the divine order has been violated. "

" I want to open a church, open to youth, women, a Church that looks away. Will be neither timid nor conformism proposals to make the Church attractive. I trust in the radicalism of Jesus' words, the good news that Jesus wants to lead. "

" Justice is the fundamental attribute of God in Jesus Judgement formula as a criterion for distinguishing between good and evil, justice, the 'commitment to children, the hungry, the naked, the imprisoned, the sick. The just struggle against social inequalities. "

" When conducting wars of aggression in the name of God, when Christianity is used in a populist election campaign, I hear alarm bells ring. It is disgusting to talk about God and not be faithful to its main feature: justice. What unites Muslims and Jews the belief in one God. If it comes to God must do it seriously otherwise it is better not to have his name on the lips. "

UNIVERSITY CONTEST: HOW THE LEOPARD
, everything changed WHY 'NOTHING CHANGES

Behind a Address is true of meritocracy hidden possibilities and pathways that allow the perpetuation of baronies and clientele by increasing insecurity.


The DL 180/08 ("Urgent provisions for the right to education, the promotion of merit and quality of higher education and research"), praised by the press close to the center as a landmark reform of our university system , represents a "riformicchia" that takes seriously any real problem, not reduce if not a small part of the cuts introduced by Law 133/08, which from 2010 will have devastating effects on the budgets of almost all Italian universities and, even in apparently shared, contains loopholes that will help to circumvent academic potentates routinely bandied about all the news.

In terms of social security and job protection, we are unfortunately forced to report that, during the conversion of the Ordinance to the classroom of the Senate, two amendments were introduced that represent a real attack on the prospects for stability of many temporary research that populate the Italian universities.
The first of these amendments were intended for the financial resources previously devoted to the recruitment of permanent researchers also a figure of temporary contracts introduced by Article 1, paragraph 14 of Law 4 November 2005, no 230 ("Reform Moratti).
The second amendment was established that the competitions for the recruitment of permanent staff that are excluded from the new rules introduced by the same bankruptcy more meritocratic DL 180/08 and play with rules established locally by each university.
The result is obvious: a substantial transfer of funds from permanent contracts to temporary contracts and an incentive to the Barons academics to use them under the opportunity to more easily manipulate the outcome of competition and greater control of the sword Damocles insecurity can have on their subordinates.

more precarious and more power to the barons, so their while most newspapers and its neighbors brazenly smuggle this decree as a "bearer of meritocracy."
In reality, what really is long overdue is an intervention that put an end to the shameful situation in which today's universities and research institutions are governed by the work of a large number of temporary teachers and researchers that do not apply more elementary rules of labor law (maternity leave, working hours, health and safety protection in case of contractual holiday, thirteenth month pay, social security contributions appropriate ...) and whose job prospects are in no way related to merit and ability but variable them to random and uncontrollable.
This situation has been created by the failure of Italy to align itself with other major European nations, the proportion of researchers active population is double ours, and would require a policy not to further insecurity, but more investment to allow confirmed for 2009 and increase significantly in coming years to recruit outstanding provided by the Prodi government. The casual Italian researchers and teachers are now estimated at several tens of thousands, but their exact number is unknown because, unfortunately, all attempts (some still ongoing) to establish a national census or even just a single Universities are always systematically wrecked the face of resistance from the Ministry, universities and even individual departments. A multitude ghost, then, that the actions of the majority even more exposed to instability and arbitrariness of the potentates baronial.

Christian Social Lazio

THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE CHRISTIAN SOCIAL
LAZIO FOR BUILDING IN OUR REGION PD

We Cristiano social Lazio , we express our concern for breaks and uncertainties that are experiencing the formation of the Democratic Party even in our region.

We really wanted the birth of the common home of the reformists, as the convergence of different traditions of Italian reformism in a new political culture, in a project that can govern Italy in the XXI century. And for this location we worked hard, giving a strong contribution since our inception in 1993, when Pierre Carniti with Ermanno Gorrieri and we believe the political necessity of an organized presence of Christians in the then so-called progressive camp.
a story, then, that comes from afar, strongly marked by a constant on some major issues: the preferential option for the past and those who have no voice, the goal of equality feasible, the secularism of Profile of political institutions such as unavoidable for Christians, the ethics policy, discriminating which admits of no exceptions.

What we are witnessing a path from which there is growing something new. Or rather, seem to prevail even old drifts, quarrels and disputes are not always decipherable. Let dissipate the spirit of unity and enthusiasm that had accompanied the experience of the Olive and were then projected in the construction of the new party. At the expense of production policies and confrontation with those who gave us confidence.

We are increasingly convinced that the PD will have meaning and force only if it is a popular party, based on a direct and daily contact with communities, citizens, voters. If you cultivate the ability to motivate them to participate and vote on the basis of shared values \u200b\u200band project. A party that still face the moral issue its own distinctive character and indispensable. Despite all this, and precisely because it seems to be a matter of very little expendable in terms of support.

The party must also be in the first instance the ideal opportunity for the participatory democracy that plans for the country chosen by the members and leaders from non-notable; primaries to select candidates; popular roots. We need, in our region, give a sign of discontinuity in leadership positions.

A party that knows a whole rework ideas, culture, reflection. Which has the look of those who design long after having analyzed, studied and compared the proposed without the anxiety of an immediate election, but with the conviction that the way to do requires hard work, effort, consistency and constancy.

As it emerged strongly from our studies VI National Conference of Assisi ("Christians and new policy challenges. Democracy, justice, common good, which was attended by nearly 300 people, including representatives of the movement and friends ), in the daily life of the party we see instead a tendency to assert a high concentration of responsibility on the national leadership, and with the organization for highly customized combinations. It is a scary process, because it basically undermines the unity and membership size party, its leadership and the constitutional process.

The PD needs at all levels, strong leadership and collegial together, which triggers and mobilize energies, to engage fully in the youth and women, living through its proposals and its struggles in society.

is also necessary that the party areas and different cultural positions, since they are vital source of debate, even as voices of different social organizations and bodies, and greater wealth for all, find an appropriate based not on mere logic of power correntizie or membership, but on the fertile opportunity to make fruitful synthesis from a wealth of ideas and values established and recognized in the country even before the party.
Only then will we be able to give a soul and identity of the party that we are forming.

share what has been said and written elsewhere (see PD Circle of Donna Olimpia), and we do ours.
"It 's necessary that the selection of leading groups and applications passes immediately from the practice of co-opted by the criterion of fidelity to this or that leader, the pseudo debate, the enhancement of the merits and skills in an open confrontation between democratic ideas and positions. And 'necessary for that purpose a pact of loyalty and cooperation between the generation of leaders who led the party until now Roman and new generations that have grown in recent years in and around it, both in the parties, dissolving, have given their lives to what other political forces and civil society. For
level too, Roman purposes for which the PD was established, it is first necessary to affect the decision-making processes and ways of training leaders. It is important that in both cases involve the basic structures and that this has encouraged the widest participation of members and citizens through the systematic use of the primary method for the formation of candidates for elective positions in the party competes (at least to those monocratic) as is required by statute and was recently reaffirmed by the Secretary. "
There is a lot of work to do.
broaden the base of participation involving members, voters and citizens in the choices of content and selection of its leaders, to become viable, transparent and truly democratic decision-making bodies at all levels and adopt transparent procedures for the selection of its leaders, coordinating the work Working with the agile bodies and participatory at the local level to provide a planning conference can be translated into policy choices is a possible, ideas and proposals that the basis of wide consultation will be able to move forward, turn Circular forms of communication, so that each and everyone knows what is happening, what is the process started and the steps you should follow that.
These are the points on which we do not intend to back Christian social action in our politics. Indeed, we think that they are elements that can describe the identity and action of the party and for which we still plan to spend our resources and human ideals.
making them available for comparison and discussion. To revive the party and above all give back to the country and to our city, a government that puts the common good as a starting point of the social fabric that joins a collective population.

TWENTY YEARS OF THE KNIGHT APPEALS AND INITIATIVES

the two decades of the Knight
(Massimo Giannini - La Repubblica)


anticipate part of the introduction of the book of "The Statesman. The Fascist Berlusconi between fascism and populism" (Baldini Castoldi Dalai, pp. 280, € 17) in bookstores these days

"The cowards and thugs of the radio controlled by the billionaire publishing of the White House gang of Lindbergh said that Winchell was dismissed for shouting 'fire "in a crowded theater. Mr. and Mrs. New York City, the word was not" fire. "Era" fascism "that Winchell yelled. It still is. Fascism! Fascism! And I will continue to cry "fascism" in every crowd of Americans that I can find until the party's betrayal of Herr Hitler's pro-Lindbergh will not be expelled from Congress on election day. "

I do not know why. But when I began to think of a book about Silvio Berlusconi, the first images that came to mind were those described by Philip Roth in his conspiracy against America, the political narrative fiction about Sir Charles Lindbergh wins the elections of 1940 to Roosevelt instead of plunging the United States and the world in the nightmare. Grand aviator and fly across the oceans, wherever you land with its mythological Spirit of St. Louis is waiting for the reporters of newspapers and thousands of people gathered to watch and cheer their young president, with his famous jacket and leather aviator's helmet.

Roth's novel is a magnificent fresco on the decline of a nation addicted. On its progressive loss of attention to social and moral tension. Question of places, a matter of symbols. The Roman Palace instead of Washington. Italy deep instead of America. The running board of a Mercedes instead of a cabin monoplane. Instead of the double-breasted jacket. Or the bandana instead of the headband. I do not know why. But as bold and imaginative, the comparison convinced me. I started writing. Inspired by the loving thoughts of a Grand Old Man of the Republic, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi: "The Italians are caught by a strange yearning for servitude. And more Berlusconi tears up the institutional fabric, the more they demand to be servants." It's not a pretty picture. But unfortunately it is dramatically true.

The first argument of this book is that the Knight is now a statesman. Among the worst of the country's history. But a true statesman, who firmly in hand the destiny of the nation ... Fifty years from now, when they finally purged the last ideological sewage dell'estenuante Italian Novecento, the center looks out over the abyss of the First Republic and will have to recognize that everything that came later (in the case of Second, Third or No Republic) is Berlusconi calls. What we have lived and are living in 1994, with some marginal intermission, is to all intents and purposes the Fascist Berlusconi. There is no vice

private or public virtue, character or ethos of popular culture, the man of Arcore was unable to anticipate or amplify the same time, in a dizzying and sometimes mysterious game of mirrors in which the end was and is increasingly difficult to distinguish who reflects what. By the third electoral victory in 2008, Berlusconi was Italy permanently resumed ... Fascism and how to Piero Gobetti, Berlusconi has also come to really turn into another "biography of the nation" ...

He says it himself, the constituent of the PDL: "Ours is not only a new party is the new Italy. It 's a major political force that brings together all the Italians who do not identify with the left and we have made known their wishes in the last election." Nothing to object when he is right, you're right ...
The second thesis of this book is that the Italian is now a democracy in profound transformation. The Statesman is dragging on the ground that Italy would call "post-democratic", according to the formula coined by Colin Crouch ... It is not a dictatorship in the classical sense, but certainly a democracy "in its downward flight."

But descending to what? The drop point of this drift Italian is a modern form of "totalitarianism" post-ideological, philosophical and understood in a technical sense. Italy is too disenchanted to stumble on a true "system" in which fundamental freedoms are trampled ... At stake is another. It 'a new, subtle but dangerous form of political-cultural hegemony. E 'emptying and the weakening of the "places" in which they develop an oppositional thinking and a positive outlook on Italy and that is what we would like.

E 'the absence of autonomous powers that balance the excessive power of the executive, economic and financial institutions all'establishment, reduced to a mere role of vassalage, blackmail and blackmail through the mechanism of government concessions and incestuous pervert the circuit of bank financing.

E 'the breakdown of the contents of the policy, the systematic dismantling of the truth of the facts, the disintegration of the scientific language, which transforms the information in the "white noise" and irrelevant unlistenable, and homogenize everything, consensus and dissent, of assent in a blender ... Fareed Zakaria, in his Democracy without freedom theorizes the existence of "illiberal democracies," which combine elections and authoritarianism. "Often, democratic governments claim sovereignty, or absolute power, and this leads to an excessive centralization of authority, often by means extracostituzionali and with results not always appreciated.

The result is a form of government is not too different from a dictatorship, despite the greater legitimacy. "I do not know why. But once again these arguments make me think about things that happen in our country.

The third thesis of this book is that the statesman must now be taken seriously. In his "branch" is really the 'professional' best on the square, and can no longer be treated like a freak. And his right-wing government inevitably reflects the pure and hard " totalitarian vocation "of those who guide, but is saying and doing things like that ... He says Italians Giulio Tremonti, an ideologue of the majority:" Italy is a country essentially center-right. There was a center-right majority, and there will be. The problem is to give a representation in this mass majority of votes. "

I am convinced, reluctantly, that the superministro Economy is right ... The conflict of interest and is certainly" a "problem. But is "the" problem. What Umberto Eco had described in his time "Caesarism electronic," as the new power digit Berlusconi, and today only the corollary of a political and social epiphenomenon much more rooted and complex ... It is no true that he once wrote Furio Colombo, and that is that we are in the presence of "a leader who does not have an electronic people, but a public audience. "

The novelty of this third reincarnation Berlusconi is the leader is no longer just" electronic ", but became fully" political. "Above all, no longer only a" public ", but now it is also built a "people" ...

The fourth argument of this book is that Berlusconi has indeed some features in common with fascism. The contiguity, and continuity, it is obviously a scheme structure as violent and repressive . But as the political superstructure, social and cultural prone to authoritarianism and a plebiscite today that may scare many of us, but to meet these people. Nothing happens by chance. There will be a reason to date, despite an episode except the last April 25, the Statesman has never been able to declare openly and peacefully "fascist."

There will be a reason why today we are reassessing that mayors and ministers who celebrate the Fascist Salò. There is a reason why a group of young neo-fascist squad bursts in studies Rai via Teulada for a "punitive expedition" against a television program. And yet, there is a reason why today, 27 years after the discovery of the famous villa in the list of Castiglion Fibocchi, crops up out of Licio Gelli, even in his own show on TV: "I was born under fascism, fascist and die are fascist. The only one who can .. carry out the Plan of democratic rebirth is Berlusconi. "

No one, least of all me, think why the prime minister does not represent the country's legitimate government, democratically elected by the Italians ... But the awareness of the legitimacy of non-formal must stop to see, and above all to challenge the ineligibility of many significant utterances and many decisions. For the most illiberal, sometimes even unconstitutional ... Compare the two decades of Mussolini's Fascist Knight is not a crime.
Both more than is now the same statistics to allow comparison, joking with reporters: "With another five years added to 19 years of political activity. How many are missing, to get to that guy? "Yet again, there is little to joke. I read from democracy and dictatorship, written in June 1934 by Gaetano Salvemini:" The leader of a democracy, he says to his opponents: "I think you're right , but I could be wrong, let me try to see what are the practical results of my actions. If they are negative, then you will get your chance. " The dictator says, "I'm right, and the results of my work will always be good"; "or with me or against me"; "all in the state, nothing outside the State, nothing against the state", "the State shall I, who opposes the state is an outlaw. "See you on the basis of what he says and does, where more just put our Prime Minister.

Kidde Smoke Alarm Is Beeping

door open on the decline

a modern state that decides to invest in education and research will inevitably continue to decline. Public spending in this sector is increasing in economically developed countries as in emerging markets. Let two examples.

in France previous legislature has launched an investment program of € 10 billion for the transformation of ten public universities in centers of excellence in scientific research, which could face international competition on new technologies. The project has been married for Sarkozy who is continuing development.

India is an emerging state with a university education, and comprehensive. Although a large part of its population still has an income below the minimum level of survival, the decision to invest in infrastructure in recent decades technological research and now enables India to excel in leading industries such as energy and aeronautics space, and its residents to enjoy important economic repercussions.

Some people invest in research to emerge and for those who survive, but resigned to their countries only dream of decline is reducing funding for this activity.

Well, our government will operate a progressive annual cutting of funds that will come in five years and a half billion. Yes you read right: despite France spends more than twice the real Italy, in five years, invest another 10 billion and we will cut off altogether.

But how will the government used the money saved? Some examples:

• two billion euro of additional costs for Alitalia new solution, which includes the foreign carrier, however, than the solution Bersani;

• compensation to municipalities for the lost revenue by ICI on the first house;

• indiscriminate rescue the financial sector.

"NO TO RACISM"
APPEAL FOR NATIONAL EXHIBITION OF THE PD October 25.
(posted by Marcella Lucidi) on Italy

blows the wind of racism.
The ethnic prejudice, social resentment, hatred for the other, they slowly spread in the country with alarming intensity in some regions.
E 'place for social, demographic, cultural, very complex, such as the need to consider and act-as-possible. But there are also political factors, especially the irresponsible choice of parties and representatives of institutional investment on xenophobia and fear to gain electoral consensus more easily.
The results are there for all to see. And what we see is not a random combination of episodes of intolerance, as the government argues.
E ', however, an impressive and consistent sequence of acts of violence, committed on the people to the diversity of their skin, religion, culture. They are acts that take place in a specific cultural, linguistic, symbolic, long fed by messages of hostility, enmity, division. To tear the country rather than join it. To produce new marginality, among young people and children, from the school.
The Italian Republic had never experienced racism in these shapes and sizes. The Democratic Party rejects this degeneration of a society, that it offends the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Constitution of the Republic. Therefore intends to work with all his energies to racism is recognized, fought and defeated, in line with the great civilizations that have choices everywhere marked the history of democratic parties.
why we urge people who want to take this as a priority commitment to reaffirm the foundations of democracy in a multiethnic and multicultural society, to participate in big rally behind the banner of the October 25 which will bring the message "NO TO RACISM". A big, heartfelt "no" which will also be a large, felt "for". For equality, for the reception, a civil security and free from the poison of racial hatred.

Why sign up for the referendum to repeal the so-called Lodo Alfano

The Lodo Alfano is not, as the name would lead one to suppose, the result of an agreement, but a blackmail. In June of that year, the chairman of the board, to prevent a process in which defendant arrived at the conclusion (Mills trial) and was issued the ruling, the rooms presented the so-called "law blocks process ", according to the estimate estimate of the Superior Council of Magistracy, 100,000 jobs would be frozen and brought to court to block the machine.

To avert this disaster, the opposition forces (except IDV) and the President Napolitano has accepted the "Lodo Alfano", a law in violation of Article 3 of the Constitution (all citizens are equal before the law) makes it not process the Presidents Council, the House and Senate and the President of the Republic, for all crimes committed outside their duties.

A similar attempt, Berlusconi also tried during his previous government, with the Lodo Schifani, triggering the reaction of civil society with the famous "Wandering," which our hero was Senator Pancho Pardi, culminating in the collection of signatures for a referendum that never saw the light, since the Constitutional Court annulled the law intervened to unconstitutional.

Berlusconi has now, at the hands of his minister for Justice Alfano, a new revised and wrong by his lawyer and Secretary for Justice Ghedini, who in the dead time is the time to perform the functions of parliament. But the reasons we

:

• Constitutionality: although improved, continues to violate The 3rd article of the constitution.

• Extensibility: always the constitution stipulates that ministers, deputies and senators should have the same rights and thus the Lodo Alfano is a precedent that can be extended to them. And 'these days, the justice committee's discussion of so-called "Lodo Consolo" (submitted by Members of the PDL Giuseppe Consolo, a lawyer of the Minister Matteoli in a trial for breach of official secrets) that will extend the immunity to all ministers .

• Opportunities: the presence in parliament of just less than one hundred prisoners and suspects, and the scandals that continue to invest our ruling class, it seems legitimate to wonder if Italian citizens can afford to trust their representatives to the point of condoning or advance any crime they may have already committed before and during their electoral mandate.

Given that: •
following the publication of his book "Gomorra" which moves a complaint well-documented and detailed the whole system of illicit trafficking and territorial control exercised by the Camorra clan of Casal dei Principe, the writer Roberto Saviano was forced to live under guard for two years threats received by members of this criminal clan; •

The new language of power
(Giuseppe D'Avanzo - La Repubblica)

DESTRUCTION of language is a prerequisite of any future destruction. If you remember the premonition of Karl Kraus, is essential to examine in its results more radical simplification of the public discourse of the government that is so successful and convincing to support a Edmondo Berselli that "democracy is closer to a contemporary format that a complex set of rules" in Michael Serra that "the left "must strive, along this simplistic way, to survive in the era of" thinking hasty "in Marino Niola that" reduced format, offering contemporary politics again resurface mythologies that belong to the more remote layers of representation of power " .

are reflections that have the merit of breaking down the paradigm of Berlusconi, his gestures, attitudes and modes (five in conduct in place of school reform and education; loafers instead of a more modern design of public administration).

However, I think the reasoning would be incomplete if we were to ask also what the hatching surface dilution of the language. In my view, this may be another focus of debate: what thought, power and democracy announces quell'alienazione of the word, colonized by the culture of television, say format? That language, which does not recognize any state to reality, which dramatically reduces any complexity (including lexical), is merely a technical consensus of cases or more: a strategy and even a political destiny?

Temo that enthusiasm for the magic of political marketing dangerously ignores the 'uninvited guests "who, hidden in the format, knocks on the door of our democracy. Eager to encourage a powerless opposition and silent modes of a "narrative" effective and expendable Market Policy and New Leviathan does not become a spectacle we see - not what we ignore - the implications. We omit the essential. Do not feel that the simplification of the brutal language of politics remove any political space.

Here we could make it long. Quote Aristotle. Remember that man is a political animal because he speaks. "Man is a zoon politikon, but that is because echon logon. E 'political animal because language: communication is to throw it in the Polis. Learning to talk is to begin to obey the unwritten laws of the City. More specifically, is to begin to take sides, to belong and to exclude, to draw boundaries "(Rocco Ronchi," Speaking in Newspeak "in the precious contemporary forms of totalitarianism, Bollati Basic Books, very useful with its 16 essays, edited by Massimo Recalcati to tackle the issues under discussion).

E 'speech, therefore, is the language that allows us to live in the "realm of politics." In this house, if released, must be allowed to hesitate. The outcome of the response is the awareness of those who speak of "stake." implies a decision. It has the speaker in a specific space of the commonplace. Addresses a relationship with others who listen to him. In this sense, language is a gift (munus), but also bond and obligation as a gift because, as the duty, the language underlying the communitas. When awareness of the speaker, his freedom (dall'esitazione revealed) is eliminated in favor of an automatic reflex, "communitas to replace the barracks, the socius to the dorm."

*

Simplification (the format) then it is not just a "technique" that evokes the "good old things of the past" (the teacher, the school apron fresh laundry, the employee works) is an assertive form, never dialogue which unfolds a force injunctive, mandatory. It 's like a tic automatic. E 'logo. Like any logo, automatic triggers a memory, an image recognition without an agreement without discussion, consensus without hesitation. This modularization of the language, its mechanical nature presupposes that knowledge is a curse, the register of the real as irrelevant, thinking like an infection. "Disease prevention begins with the vocabulary that is impoverished, to become lean, as the advertising slogan, brand like graphics.

Any of us can combine a catalog of "modules" of Berlusconi's political newspeak. Productivity Success Communists Theorem judicial efficiency Legality Decision Italian markets are now Security logos robotic reflex activity. Appear to be "objective." Their need and value is beyond question. Form - you can still say stealing the words Ronchi - "axiomatic the premise of public conversation. And as happens to the first principles of each demonstration, are subtracted from all eternity to any rational discussion."

are more or less free of the orders which exclude any consent or lawful dissent. Eliminate a common place and therefore any doubt, hesitation, freedom effectively deletes the political space. Are "either disjunctive" or are you in or out, or is unconditionally unconditionally friend or enemy, or is good or evil. When the language is easy to be reduced to reflect that removes all of thinking, which anticipates a response time of subjective reflection (did not become "criminal" synonymous with "immigrant"?) You end to clear the oppositional dichotomy consent / dissent which defines the democratic or authoritarian regimes.



* * * The format, simplifying the speech of the government is not only a technique of political marketing. You can effortlessly see something worse: a totalitarian tendency. The fascination that inspires even free spirits I think I see a blur that restless, as a result un'oscurantista dependence fictional works in freeform scenarios hairpieces, which manipulates the relationship between reality and fiction (already created and controlled by the ideological power of totalitarian propaganda and spectacular of the twentieth century).

How to explain otherwise the representation - not disputed by anyone, I think - a man of 72 years, already weakened in its vital energies from prostate cancer and a very invasive surgery, as an immortal father totemic "resting three hours a night and make love for another three, before returning to work in eighteen other to solve Italy's problems, the difficulties of the West, the crisis in Milan?

we define this hypnotic state that prevents us from seeing the grotesque in this scene? The format that forbids us to laugh in public is not "cultural invention" is an exercise of power that reveals a totalitarian vocation. It 's a political device capable of removing what we see, know, know, touch.

E 'the event of a power that rewrites our eyes to reality ("reality exists"); destroys the language by reducing it to unconditional automaton; us from the experience and the ability to take a stand. It should not be a surprise too broad consensus, even "embarrassing" it collects. Always "the link is the totalitarian paradoxical response to certain needs, which are induced. There is always need Police and terror, absolute violence. The work on the psyche is more effective. It 'just that device to create the world and act as the guarantor of security and prosperity of the people. The process of dependency between the psyche and politics is assured if you invent a perpetual state of insecurity, a permanent state of emergency (immigration, justice and the Italian threat, the school) to offer an all-encompassing protection.

Accepting the indestructible vitality of the "totemic father," as welcome as if an apron solve the problems of education, we agree to that fictional scenario and the increasing number of control strategies and prevention below. Prisoners of an impoverished vocabulary - for prophylaxis - of things and thought "infected", we come to consider the social body as a sick body and the decisions of the government as a therapy designed to restore the health assaulted by internal toxicity (the opposition , dark-skinned foreigners, the magistrates, the slackers, the union, information).

logo and reflected the language becomes impossible to see how those "marks" justify more and more detailed control practices (the soldiers in the city center, the city police in weapons) and an exercise of unlimited power with no transparency and balances ( decrees with the force of law immunity for those who govern, servile parliament, independent authorities suspended in functions), in private un'invasività of disciplinary power (preventive wiretapping, prohibition of commercial sex, a ban on transporting goods with plastic bags, ban to lie on the grass of a meadow in a park) .



* * * The simplification of the language (the format) is the key to political success, perhaps by acting as a prompt to imitate if the left wants to close with the defeat: it is a prerequisite to reshape the relationship between freedom and policy. Just because the destruction of language is a prerequisite of any future destruction, I asked him what he will be destroyed tomorrow, where the temptation totalitarian began to work today.

"totalitarianism", I know, is one of those words with contempt expelled from public discourse, and yet if you look at the philosophical and political debate - debate that takes place with the lights out, away from the noise of the media - to question contemporary forms of post-totalitarian ideology in advanced capitalist societies is by no means stupid or vulgar or indecent. On the contrary, it is appropriate. And 'honest. E 'urgent. E 'legitimate.

is not, of course, as noted by Simona Strong ("The Great Body of the whole" still fit), to "oppose - in a democracy - a political regime" or to consider totalitarianism "as a political monster," because "There is no wall nor legal nor institutional nor philosophical-cultural, that separates democracy from totalitarian regime."

no threat from totalitarianism to democracy. E ', says Strong, "the unwanted visitor knocking at his door constantly," "is an extreme response to the questions posed and the modern politics can not solve. Not only then the modern totalitarianism has experience, but it is a possible outlet of democracy. A form of society that reacts to the weakness of the invention Democratic constituent, its vagueness, its openness towards the void, in a word, freedom. "

To understand whether the Guest Junk lives next door to us, within us, then we must investigate the weaknesses of our democracy, the anguish of Italian society, the lack of balance and trim (existential, institutional, political, cultural). E 'in the gap between the problems of modernity, the social loss they cause, the anguish of applications and the inadequacy of collective responses and policies that open the gates where you off and take root a "totalitarian mentality" and a technique of power that, unlike the twentieth century, no longer has any ideological content.

A verification of the presence of the Guest in our democracy needs to explore the essential relationship of totalitarianism to freedom (And language, we have seen, is gone, the first victim) because it is a totalitarianism that is not more explicit, visible as violence and terror, and destruction of the Other, but more secretly "working" (still strong) in the link between human life and political power in the way of the relationship between reality and fiction, in the absence of appropriate tools to guide us between good and evil, definitions, guidelines, awareness that today prevent us also recognize the evil of having a ' idea, a thought. Now these are the damned challenges facing the left, not the aping of the "totemic father," his Newspeak totalitarian.

The world

easy policy format
(Michele Serra - La Repubblica)

The campaign for the return to the teacher only, beyond the intentions quotas of "saving", it helps to think in an exemplary manner on the underlying causes of political fortunes the right of government, and its equally profound strategic intentions. They are intended for simplification. If the word is the totem of the left, for many years now, and "complex", at no cost to derive from complex analysis and complex reasoning dark and paralyzing political opportunities, however, really understand the man of the street, that's right ( winning) is its simplicity.

pedagogy and teaching, as they have been evolving in the last half century are felt as subjects 'left' and not so much not only for the attempt to replace authoritative guidance on simplifying the most open, and at risk of permissiveness "sessantottesco. Are considered complicated because the attitude of Left educational, cultural and psychological outcomes add scruples, are screwed around the sticky (and hated) the matter of political correctness, the idea of \u200b\u200ba society over-guaranteed and for that very difficult to manage, and basically of the desire of peace and certainty of a social body confused and anxious, ready to applaud any demiurge with conviction, sector also, armed with axes.

Gelmini In this sense, the proposal is almost brilliant. The key idea, that which comes to a public opinion increasingly tempted by brusque, but simplifications, is that the convoluted "educational", being weighted by union demands, are a luxury that society can no longer afford. The real "cut", in hindsight, is not that of a teacher candidate anyway - once cleared the pilots, or lazy, or other trade unionists - the role of yet another scapegoat. The real cut is, Gordian knot of the culture. Nostalgia (very common) the teacher is only the nostalgia of a golden age (unreal but seductive), in which the nefarious "complexity" had not yet been cleared by intellectuals, educationists, psychologists, priests, restless, political agitators and seekers under different hairs. An authoritarian society in which the principle was greatly helped by a perception of order is easy to apply, in which the ass was the ass, the worker the worker and the doctor doctor. A company not included Don Milani, not Mario Lodi, Basaglia not, of course not the Sixty-eight, and therefore, in the very ideological reconstruction made of it right now, it's simply fallen victim to an ambush "Communist."

schemino In this simple and effective, the culture and politics, whatever title, are not seen as interpreters of conflicts, but as challenging to them. If pedagogy "permissive" exists, it is not because the inconvenience of several children or the old wood and the inadequacy of education required (forty years ago) to be identified and dealt with, but because the same problem has been "created" a maliciously-oriented intellectuals and political destruction of the good old school once. In short, the policy has become a format, as written by Edmund Berson, his word is simplification.

This right people, and for the vast and fierce social bloc that expresses the complication is a vice "bourgeois" (Professors, highbrow of course by the radical-chic, and it matters little that the school staff is among the most proletarianized of Italy) that we can not afford, and what we have done very badly to give up. Not only education, including psychology, sociology, psychiatry, the dominant clichés of today, no longer a tool of analysis of reality, but the will of disturbance handling, against rowers, to stoke fires of a better social bucket of water, like that of single teacher, can finally turn off. The daily reading of the right-wing press - free special, from this point of view absolute paradigm of public pro-government - Demonstrates that the triumph of hasty thought, to better establish itself, needs an equal and opposite contempt for thought complicated for the mass of indistinct philosophemes and sociology of the new Italian as "free" themselves as victims no longer available for latinorum caste of politicians and intellectuals bookish, barbogi, causidici, using the culture (and the blackmail of complexity) as a sleeping pill to curb the fresh energy "popular" of those who have the boxes full of doubts, the hesitations, the Social complains about immigrants and gypsies, children in distress, everyone who linger and complicate the handling of daily hard chores. Already too hard, in itself, afford the "menate" concerning the left-wing or full-time or the rights of gay and other nonsense.

The left has a lot to think about: the cultural and even existential human being of his staff (including electorate) occurred in almost sacred worship of the complexity of the world and society, with culture elected invaluable tool for understanding even at the risk complicating complication ... But there is no doubt that respect for the complexity and narcissism of the loss, the distance is so short that has largely been done: no law requires an intellectual or a political analysis at the point of falling in love never risk a glance or simplification - in itself - it is a blasphemy (on the contrary by those who have studied a lot and thought a lot, sometimes you would expect a conclusion that is "easy" because not rude or superficial, but because intelligent and understandable). But the stakes are much more important than just the fate of the left. The stakes - simplify, in fact - is the fate of culture, critical tools that might become unbearable difficulties. If this right will continue to win, apart from the marketing you do not see which of the social sciences could hope to regain prestige, and a prevalence of not only academic or caste. Because it is much, much easier to think that humanity and the Earth were created by God seven thousand years ago (which is what convinced the popular Sarah Palin for example) rather than wasting time and money studying the fossils and evolution. It is much more reassuring, convincing, comforting to think that good teachers than once, with the help of five in a barrage of conduct and failures, can maintain order and "educate" the more hyperkinetic children, consumers and bulimia, that television creates and the propaganda of right now suggests to destroy, because it is better to have docile consumers (customers, says Pennac) rather than restless citizens. You better be certain that problems.

is much more easy to think that the world is simple, if only for an unfortunate circumstance for everyone who is not. The world is complicated, humanity as well, children do not talk about it either. If people believe this to be binding, healthy recognition of the complication can not find a way to make it "popular", to explain it better, to propose a credible possibility of government, the principles of discernment, human rights, basic needs, let us say democracy we will see in the coming decades, the progressive triumph of simplifiers impatient, the Brunette, the Gelmini, of Palin. Then the reality, of course, will present its accounts, the simplifications in the same sinking mud in which we are struggling poor complicated the minority. In the meantime, we should get busy, to survive with some dignity in the Age of Simplification, minimize damage, if not for us and for our children that might actually believe in the long run, the myth of the reactionary bei old days, when the school churned Bravi Italian, the planes flew without worries, too intellectuals did not break the boxes and the culture was based on the beautiful calligraphy and arrived (on time) to the more disciplined of resignation. That is the exact opposite.

Why I fear for democracy
(Letter to Corriere della Sera)

Dear Editor,
in its editorial yesterday Pierluigi Battista describes the concern and alarm that I expressed in the interview with Corriere della Sera on Sunday as an "old story", as the resumption of a struggle in which confrontation is put into question the democratic legitimacy of the opponent. I think this analysis is incorrect, for two reasons that I will try to explain.

The first concerns the ratio set by the majority, and Berlusconi's first with the opposition, according to the nature and scope of the argument about the risk of impoverishment of democracy which I started some time ago, that was the focus of my speech to the Lingotto and then Sinalunga and interview with his paper.
He is certainly right to say that the Baptist around the theme of the relationship majority and opposition, there was a 'huge misunderstanding': what the newspapers have called cloying dialogue or confrontation with the government on necessary institutional reforms to the country, has become a "self-censorship moderate opposition, even vehement criticism muted on the action of government." A scheme impossible and unrealistic, first of all for the life of democracy, but was adopted by Berlusconi for his first, which seemed to expect an opposition to dialogue but not non-existent. In five months old Parliament was called to ratify a series of measures, most or all by-laws, most or all voted on the wave of confidence. Evil on the content (be it school or security, justice or public accounts), wrong method which is essentially democratic. On this together with Casini I sent a letter to the Speaker of the House to highlight how the Parliament was put in a position not to discuss anything and essentially expropriated.
On all this, on the concrete content of the measures of the Berlusconi government and the risks of a real decline of democracy, the Democratic Party has promoted its event of 25 October in Rome. This is, in a de-legitimization of 'opponent? I could argue remembering as of 2 December 2006, speaking on a stage in which bears the inscription "against the regime, for freedom," said Silvio Berlusconi of Italy to represent the majority in the fight against oppression "imposed by a minority government" .


But I will not go so far back to really understand who is accustomed to question the democratic legitimacy of the opponent. I will just since last June: while the houses came under the block-the judges were called metastasis processes of democracy and opposition leader became a "failure" that would "retire from politics." And it is a few days ago, in the middle of negotiations Alitalia, the joke insulting a "Veltroni non-existent ', spending to win headlines in the papers and denied only days later. Amid a sea of \u200b\u200binsults all people of the PDL. Who but Berlusconi has called the court Gandus his "political enemy"? Those who threaten the Constitutional Court to rule on the Alfano Bill? Whoever speaks of government as a "board"? Whoever offends the union during negotiations with its take it or leave it and expressed a strong opposition against the IDV as calling it the enemy of democracy and freedom? A litany, yes, de-legitimizing the opposition and for the institutions.


It is for this that I pointed out how big the difference between government
pro tempore, as in democracy, and instead feel "in power". And speaking of storytelling, when Berlusconi said after the reforms provided for comparison tear the fabric of every possible convergence and again as always to attack and insult his opponents once again, that yes, the old story of which the Italians are tired ? Moreover
my thoughts on a Sunday, on which more than 70% of the readers of Corriere.it was agreed, were an attempt to bring the look a bit 'farther than what is happening in our country and controversial quotas. Not I am interested, and I have not the presumption to ascribe no one in the category of "ontological enemies" of democracy. A worry about are those same phenomena that cross-country and western societies everywhere attract the attention of many commentators and politicians. Just think of how in France the prestige of a Catholic magazine Esprit has devoted an entire issue to the current risk of 'democratic regression', the possible end of democracy as we know in the West.

concern and this is a reality that you are in the world incaricandodi show that the market can exist without democracy or in the presence of weak democracies. It is the reality of a widespread democratic crisis, a dangerous xenophobic and racist impulses that are now open expression and political representation, as the vote in Austria has just demonstrated. It is the reality of a general need for a decision that is manifested by a set of media simplification of the problems of annoyance to any complexity, calling the deepest fears of the people, leadership tendencies investiture plebiscite, to climb over or marginalization of institutions, disregard for the pathological concentration of power, ease of negligible oscillating between the role of prophets of deregulation and the champions of state intervention. Of all these phenomena in our country, for the obvious willingness of the Prime Minister to be the incarnation, is unfortunately an obvious example.


not old stories and remnants of the past, in fact. We are the opposition of innovation and democracy decides. We have concerns about the complexity of the problems and we feel a responsibility to seek new answers to defend and strengthen our democracy, to make our country more modern.

power over the rules
(Massimo Giannini - La Repubblica)

UNITED STATES, on the eve of the vote in the U.S. Congress on the big bank bailout largest in history, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has made a symbolic act full of meaning: he knelt in front of President Nancy Pelosi, to invoke the Parliament rapid approval of this package of rules.

The executive power, even in a state of absolute national emergency, leaves it to the formal proceedings of the legislature. It is a tangible sign of how, despite the financial chaos which has not been able to ward off and now struggling to manage, American democracy can recognize its values, its rules, its institutions.

In Italy, on the eve of the imminent launch of yet another decree, this time on prostitution, the Prime Minister launched an ideological attack against the Parliament, guilty of obstructing the government's action. "Forcing the Chambers within two months of the approval of all by-laws it considers necessary to govern the country - announces Berlusconi - and I will not hesitate to ask the trust that will serve every time, since confidence is a question of courage and responsibility."

Executive power, albeit with an unprecedented majority, submits to the legislature. It is a tangible sign of how, despite the formal existence of its precepts and the fundamental strength of its institutions of security, the Italian democracy is likely to depreciate its principles, its precepts, its quality.

The premier offensive touches a raw nerve for the political class, and a sensitivity to public opinion. In recent years the hated caste who live in the halls of Parliament, including privileges and inefficiencies, did nothing to deserve the confidence of the sovereign people. Berlusconi, once again, riding the wave of anti-.

And "man of action" that fights the "fogies", he understood what the governments call on the leaders discouraged de-legitimized: decide, or just pretend that it had decided. It's what Prime Minister is doing, combining common sense ruling. Waste and upon Alitalia, Roma and the Camorra. It does not matter what's "in" measure. Counts only that there is "the" measure.

All that impedes or slows the process needs to be removed, or at least much-maligned. That is the decision. No more room for discussion and, sometimes, even to reason. And so today, while driving a government of the president and a commanding majority of 162 deputies and senators from the Knight affords the luxury of pointing their Parliament as the place of "no decision".

The attack on the legislative power is a move effect, which can take hold in people. But it is a serious choice. Is from the political point of view. Parliament, too, mostly reduced to "votificio" in need of reform. But these reforms can not impose by force the Chief Executive, with strokes of decree-laws and trust.

The revision of parliamentary rules is welcome, but it is a matter to be treated with caution and respect. Not even in the case is governed by the Constitution, which gives the regulations the force of the sources of law and Article 64 restrains the change to the "procedure reinforced" the absolute majority.

But the choice of Mr Berlusconi is also serious and especially the institutional point of view. He had only one previous, apparently not random, in republican history. Craxi is that the Congress of the Socialist Party of Verona, in 1984, angry for not converting the decree of Valentine on the escalator, he thundered against the parliamentarians who attended "Conference on aspirin only" and "rules of poultry, shellfish, prosciutto di San Daniele and schools of guitar."

Why, after 25 years, Berlusconi feels the need to replicate today, with formulas even deteriorate, the model craxi? What need right now in my pocket that holds the country and dominates the political scene in splendid isolation, to reopen a conflict so bitter and poisoned with the institutions?

There is only one answer made sense: it is the Quirinale. The Knight in a hurry to close the Second Republic and to inaugurate, if you need even in the heat of battle, a Third Republic cut again to the extent of his personal biography. It affects that this obvious plot, the beautiful souls of so-called "liberal culture" does not see the wires. If

Veltroni, for having approached the prime minister Putin, is accused of being still a prisoner of the "old story" of a center held together only by concrete anti-Berlusconi, of which "new narrative" would rather interpreter Berlusconi, who Back at war with his usual ghosts, humiliates Parliament, devalued the head of state, threatened the Constitutional Court?

The real "figure" of the new Berlusconi, Caesarism deadly mixture of regressive populism and deliberation, and is enclosed in an admirable statement of Giuliano Ferrara, his most brilliant exegete: "The democracy, in the end, it is not expertise, but it's just consent. "In these difficult times is a chilling truth. But, unfortunately, is exactly how Berlusconi is reducing our democracy.

After Plaster Cast Removal Ankle

Delirium Berlusconi

now the chasm that separates our world from Silvio Berlusconi seems to have reached the depths of the Grand Canyon.

Having ruined the only possible agreement with a credible international carrier such as Air France for a mere campaign ad, which cost the Italians a bridging loan of € 300 million, and have accused the unions for not having self-unconsciousness taken seriously curtain pirates brave and agreements with major unions that represent no one, however, that the prime minister had given an agreement to be nabobs (the redundancies would receive 80% of their salary for 7 years) so that we can close with our money so sharp a chapter to his image as a great statesman, Silvio raised in the spring and announced the first national energy plan that builds on all his experience in scientific and technical matters.

The lie is big because the advertisement includes the revival of nuclear generation to third to get a lower energy costs, of course against all conculsioni of international analysts and scientists providing for a gradual increase in the price of uranium and its depletion of fact within 50 years.

Carry this interview Ing. Pasquale Pistorio, president of STM Microelectronics, an entrepreneur in terms of experience in large industrial projects and technology has few comparisons, and this interview with Carlo Rubbia .

It 's like to win a Formula One race we decide to invest in well-established technology of the Fiat Panda, the understanding of having to wait ten years to make the first lap. It seems that almost no one decides to invest in nuclear power 3rd generation, if not to acquire equipment that could contribute to nuclear weapons of the country.

Assuming that our prime minister has the sole purpose of building expensive and unnecessary works great for friends and promote GDP growth, we must therefore conclude that it was so poorly informed on energy issues from his or consultants wishing to pursue a policy nuclear weapons, to equip us with weapons that can not have one offensive purposes in clear disagreement with our Constitution?

Save the Democratic Party!

Wanted young executives ...

the relationship with the land and society who are able to re-evaluate
as the primary method for real and not fake

with voters and members who are competent, rigorous, independent, loyal, humble and ambitious ...


Berlusconi's dream was shattered:

If the disappointment generated consensus
(Ilvo Diamonds - The Republic)

It 's a bit surprising that the disappointment, so widespread in society, does not engender confidence in government and in the first place in the premier. Yet in the past had always worked the equation: the more disappointed not consent to the ruler. So much so that disappointment had become one of the most effective techniques of opposition.

media accomplices, who made a kind of success, by mixing with other feelings of disappointment widely used in everyday language. Fear, uncertainty, anxiety, insecurity. So, to stay in this decade, the Italians have punished disappointed at first, Berlusconi and the center-right. Which has lost all elections intermediate, after 2001: local, regional, European. All. In order to recover - and to almost win back - in 2006, after a brief and intense campaign outstretched to pervert the course of disillusionment with Prodi and the center. Prior arousing mistrust towards them. How could they, the voters, especially the more moderate, and trust of the Communists, or neo ex does not matter, and their allies? Those who would raise taxes, on their first home and those who would open the door to criminals and immigrants: that is, the same, and those who would further widen the space of the state and reduced that of the private sector. They did not ... "Fear"?

Topics replicated with success in the brief of the second Prodi government. Not even two years of hard sailing and tired, then the shipwreck. In the murky waters of disappointment. Little is served by attempting to turn the page Veltroni, erase the past. A new party, a new strategy, by themselves alone! Without opposition without prejudice and antagonism, Berlusconi opponent never enemy. Too much disappointment retrospective. As to make unnecessary and counterproductive attempt to remove the past - along with Prodi.

Hence the landslide victory of Berlusconi, who survived the disappointment, emerged from a sea of \u200b\u200bdisappointment. And now, bright beacon in the fog of delusion. A feeling that, six months after the vote, it was not dissolved, but on the contrary, continues to grow. A gray mist and dense. Moreover, it leaves a good. The economic and financial crisis spills over. The prices are out of control. Fear of crime will not bend. Confidence in the future ... which way is the future? And then, no promise kept. Taxes? Do not fall. Alitalia? Sinks. Not even in football things are going well. The national team has lost to the Europeans. (Other than the World Cup of 2006, when Prodi was ...).

Yet, the relationship between the government and the country between Berlusconi and the electors is not affected. On the contrary, the levels of trust grow. It's raining, in fact, storm virtuous government. Edmondo Berselli, La Repubblica, said there is this reversal of the emergence of a form of political communication. Indeed a "format". Interpreted in the wake of the Knight, unsurpassed master, by some political actors with disabilities.

First, Brunetta, the persecutor of loafers nested in the public sector. Then, Gelmini, tamer of professors and teachers, unable to educate and discipline our children. Maroni, the Italian defender threatening invasion of foreigners and Roma. Finally, even Carfagna, hunting for prostitutes and clients, to be punished right on the street, a format that communicates complex issues simple, by customizing the fears and crises, through an easy target to hit, which reflect the common sense and move the flow of distrust and disappointment away by the government.

So the majority of Italians, grateful, rally around the government, which protects them from deviant minority professors, teachers, government, immigrants, whores. And by the pilots and the unions, guilty of the possible failure of Alitalia. They, not the politics that has ruled - and right - the fate of the national airline for years, decades. Beyond a reasonable reason. They, who, a few months ago, appeared to victims of the design of the center to sell out to foreigners, together with the company.

However, in addition to the communication format of the government, there is another explanation. And 'we're used to, accustomed to disappointment. Do not consider it an emergency, which is to blame, first, those who move the levers of government. But a normal situation, however unpleasant. As the fog in the Po Valley in winter and mosquitoes in summer. Italians: they can not be said to be disappointed. Whatever. Because no one has been able to heal the financial statements, lower taxes, boost the economy, reduce fear of crime. And if happen, do not realize it. Moreover, even if the crimes were down, the fear has grown the same. And if the crime rate in Italy is among the lowest in Europe, we remain the European country most fearful and disappointed. The most disheartened. Anyone who govern us. Berlusconi and Prodi.

So, after trying in vain to reverse this trend by voting, changing government and majority, the Italians have resigned. So, now that the disappointment has penetrated everywhere: in homes, families in the streets, TV programs, in the indices that appear bulletins of war in estimates of the market, production and consumption: the disappointment that is everywhere today, the Italians have stopped it as an accident. Consider a disturbance lasting a need. That is not the case to charge someone. Besides, who was first made better? E 'managed to give us confidence? To make us happy? So, needless to twist our anger, our disappointment on the leader today. Teniamocelo. Be satisfied. All the more so if he can comfort us and give us scapegoats, suggesting that it is not our fault (let alone his own).

But if the disappointment is no longer a tool to discredit the government, nor a method of opposition, then - Excuse the tautology - to oppose the disappointment is not necessary. Not only that, but it becomes harmful. A boomerang. To

opposition should, instead, push the disappointment away. Generate hope, new illusion. But hope is an attribute of the future. And the future, for now, it's just a hope. Pardon: an illusion, that few persist to grow.

EUROPEAN: D'ALEMA, BERLUSCONI WANTS LAW TO PART
(News from The Republic)
With the new electoral law for the European with the 5 percent barrier and blocked lists "Berlusconi manipulates rules of democracy for personal and partisan. This reveals a culture profoundly undemocratic, authoritarian culture from a master of the ironworks. "said Massimo D'Alema, in Omnibus on La7, and added:" It is not clear precisely why 'should be imposed at EU level a threshold' higher than that that there is' a national level. It 'a decision that responds to need in part: Berlusconi wants to punish the UDC. "As for the abolition of preferences, and D'Alema'" a brutal abduction empower citizens. E 'intolerable shrinking democratic: there are few people who decide everything, which form the elected assemblies and in this way, citizens are increasingly removed' from the institutions. "Again, according to Democratic Party leader, are the interests to prevail particularistic Prime Minister: "It is the head of a party that is not 'a party, but an assemblage of diverse forces and fears that the conflict with the preferences among these different souls will manifest in the light of the sun. Cosi' he wants to decide, 'cause that allows him to ensure the shares from a distribution determined to table


Populism and decisions of the Berlusconi government causes more disasters:

What can we expect from a party where they say living former socialist to express a political left, former Communists like Bondi that invokes the thought of Antonio Gramsci as a cultural reference, a former radical who see a space to express liberalism and secularism, members of Communion and Liberation who felt that that party is in harmony with the bishops, Alemanno and La Russa that recall the 'good side' of fascism? All mediated by a father who wants to master please everyone. And by that great showman and craftsman, he knows to be in line with the majority of the country, the answer is: very effective and frequent media spots, which are the realizations inefficient, and often mess with the taste of buffalo. More or less the opposite of what made the center-left. But the people now takes the bait and we do not just have to ponder ... in anger. The following are examples:

Young killed in a locked Milan :
you imagine the strombazzature of TV, newspapers, and if certain politicians in this tragic event the parties were reversed?


Alitalia grants and favors for friends cordate, take it or leave for workers:

Awards on the ropes: Breaking and changing rules at will, restoring a monopoly, giving the consortium the advantage of exclusivity and possibility of achieving strong gains in the future; Rescue Air One
Striking workers: six thousand redundancies, pilots halved, cut wages by 25 percent, including those from twelve hundred euro, to be borne by the community, that all Italian workers, and a billion half of inherited liabilities The company celebrated

Maybe there will be a happy ending, but for whom? For friends of the climbers who will lay it on thick still give something extra, perhaps for the drivers and their assistants, the other will leave the crumbs. The subjects

Here is the new class struggle
(Piero Ignazi - L'Espresso)

A fight is no longer the 'last' but the 'first' supported by the government of Berlusconi Giulio Tremonti. When you think of the class struggle imagine crowds of blue-collar or noisy crowds of peasants and pinafores shabby - but also composed and dignified as in the famous painting by Pellizza Volpedo - marching to demand bread and work. This image has faded like an old photograph, refers to an ancient world that you are losing track. There are those actors: the proletariat is fringed in a thousand different components and the 'last' of the company reflect a kaleidoscope of ethnicities, traditions and cultures who can not be bunched up in a homogeneous social class.

But if it was dissolved without the class struggle, strikes and picketing in the proletariat who had his spine, does not make it disappear. Has shifted 180 degrees. He suffered a Copernican revolution. It is no longer led by the 'last', but by the 'first'. They are the holders of economic and political resources to take the initiative to maintain and strengthen the positions acquired at the expense of others. The offensive no longer passes through the ancient streets of contract, less and less relevant in terms of numbers and more more residual to define the balance of power (even if the attempt to undermine collective bargaining in favor of individual bargaining indicates a clear line of attack), but for the public money, for the marriage of interests between corporations and economic power Political celebrated by the Berlusconi government.

This is shown with one of the first measures of the center-right government. One of many, but exemplary for his surgical precision: the elimination of tracking the fees of professionals, an effective tool against tax evasion and money laundering introduced by the Prodi government.


The message could not be clearer: we know who are 'the our 'and act now in defense of their interests. And, conversely, we know who the 'enemies': the employees, especially the public sector, who vote on the left. Against them has been unleashed an offensive drumming focusing on moral discredit to the point of Jam them the label of 'lazy'. It is not enough. While the Minister of Education - who knows nothing of school and university but in return he has earned as a lawyer in Reggio Calabria - decreed the expulsion of tens of thousands of teachers (of course the drones) in the U.S. presidential candidates are competing to see who promises more action in the education system and comes to declare Barack Obama quote at Convention democratic "enroll legions of teachers by paying them better even if it means raising taxes."

All this because you still believe in the American system in education, knowledge and expertise as vehicles for professional success, and we have culture, and those who work in education, are treated with disdain and poorly tolerated, as a useless trinket. Basically just be a beautiful showgirl to become a minister, because they consume the eyes on the books and the computer? This is the real message, subliminal and therefore authentic, the appointment of Mara Carfagna. The rest is incidental.

The class struggle by the government has set a precise objective: to undermine that little is left of the unionized working class, also lacks a guide to the challenge, defending the self-employed by any regulatory mechanisms and tax return for the redistribution of income for them started in the previous Berlusconi government (and unwisely accepted even by same superministro Tremonti) and, finally, squeeze the middle class to offset the benefits to the rest of society - and for those who have doubts about just read the speech, disturbing to say the least, by Laura Plumley, 'A decision-making (a little) compassionate ', the latest issue of the magazine' the Mill '.

The defense of corporate interests implies a draining of resources from the employees, because if you remove the ICI to the homes of the rich, abandons the fight against tax evasion (the collapse of the VAT revenue goes to show how self-employment will be immediately adapted to the new climate), we refinanced the Pharaonic projects like the bridge over the Strait, and they charge up to us citizens, contrary to the 'Tax-Payers' as they say in the Anglo-Saxon countries, the losses of Alitalia, leaving the profits to the happy few, we must somehow find the money. That is why the government takes sides in the front row alongside the corporate interests against the employee in a new version of the class struggle.

Populism and the past that returns
(GIAN ENRICO RUSCONI - THE PRESS)
I
the country has lost its bearings. No one is more real. Stubborn opposing political factions held hostage politics.

The class of intellectuals was dissolved in individuals or in small groups. Not only has devalued the status of the right or left, there are more conservatives and liberals, but has lost its sense of what holds this country together. No one knows more than name a reason, so convincing to all, while paying attention to the legitimate differences.

The national history is seized with impunity by amateurs and mystifying. Now you can say everything about everything - from 8 September to terrorism the Red Brigades. What matters is the sound media that covers all other items and can count on the exhaustion of serious scholars. The seriousness has become boring in this country is unacceptable and incompatible with the permanent talk show. There

around a heavy air decisions. In words, at least. It starts from the top of Ministers, busy making proclamations, which did not really know what will follow. It affects the amateurism and irresponsibility of ministers who speak (thinking really just the media) as if everything depended on their words.

As if the school - for example - were not a large complex institution propped up by thousands of professionals who have their own expertise and experience, to be taken into account. No. They are treated as zealous executors of the decisions fell from above.

But where is this class Ministerial checked out? From which culture? From the historic liberal right? From Fascism recycled democratically? Heavens no - it is argued now - do not begin with the ideological pedigrees. What matters is to "make order" against the "disorder of the left" - as the Knight.

tidy, clean, discipline, control. If necessary, put in jail illegal immigrants, thugs stage, street prostitutes. As if they were the same. Of course a company

orderly and safe is a collective value. And never stop to criticize the Left for having her snatch for misunderstanding "doing good" this value. For this reason not only lost the last election, but now has lost his head. In fact they do not know how to react. Each initiative of order, "ministerial or governmental, stutters and divide.

But what are the values \u200b\u200bof the new right populist who claims to be above all pragmatic, anti-ideological? At first glance, are the traditional values \u200b\u200bof "God, Country and Family." Of course, the place of God now prefers to speak of "Christian roots" and the idea of \u200b\u200bcritical homeland requires some adjustment, only the family seems to keep the old connotations. But it is a pure fiction, if we look at actual behavior and not to statements made "to please the Church" (Berlusconi's words).

In fact the real key to today's political culture is the term "populism" that should not be understood in a general way, but appropriate. The democratic populism has four ingredients: a people-voters tend to express themselves in a style tends plebiscite with a ratio of false immediacy with the leader, the dominance of personal leadership, rewarded quality 'charismatic', a party system with a simplified replacement of political elites that support the immediate leader, the role decisive and irreplaceable role of the media in line. By-products of this situation are the iperpersonalizzazione policy and its spectacular.

Voters choose or are directed to the leader type decisionistico with expectations for the intolerance of the excessive mediation parliamentary party and the corresponding differences.

Hence the activism we see every day. And the populist measures made just to satisfy an immediate desire for order: violence against prostitution as a stage, either.

This treatment undergone by the country has a high cost: the lack of a true solution of critical problems and structural (Justice to the school) that can not be solved in decisionistico-style populist. It is necessary because a strategy capable of great real consensus, which is compatible with democratic norms of the majority / minority. Otherwise the country is broken to the core. Lose orientation. This is what is happening.

Exactly fifteen years ago many of us have wondered if it ceased to be a nation. Then there were the first aggressive provocation of anti-national league, the strong concerns about globalization and the newly discovered unexpected new visibility of immigrants. In comparison, today the problems were relatively controllable. What was not expected, however, was the implosion inside the country are seeing today. Yes, perhaps, we are ceasing to be a nation.

Dear friend, dear friend
We are writing to report a initiative that may seem technical question of internal procedures of the party but, as often happens, hiding issues of great substance. In this sense it should be noted that the primaries are "the procedure" on which the PD has built, with pride, its identity.
The first regional delegates, Giovanni Bachelet of the Directorate of PD, and the founders of the Democratic Party have joined the initiative. With this message we also invite you to join and to move this message.

In short, in Lazio, by the end of September, a special committee, will submit to the Regional Assembly's Party Democratco a draft charter to be voted on.

We believe that this is a good opportunity to correct some of the mistakes made in recent months to build the Democratic Party. Ever since the first national assembly in Milan, is an established practice to be voted documents and devices designed in confined areas and with no participation. Similarly, it is now established practice to determine in advance and, again, separately and not completely transparent, the names of leaders who are then voted at the meeting. This is no possibility of competition and contestability in stark contrast to the national offices established in the statute. The lack of transparency has already translated several times in the absence of efficiency, as demonstrated in the two events, national and then regional, scheduled for 2 days and then had narrowed to 1 day with image damage, inside and outside, for all parity.
regional states have the opportunity to raise participation and transparency by including additional provisions of the general provisions contained in the national statute. If we

that the Democratic Party is really a great work of renewal of the policy, then a genuine movement of information is the basis for unlock old practice, transfer power to citizens revitalize democracy.

The letter is in
http://pd4c.wordpress.com/
seeks to give substance to these reflections.

We ask you not to lose to sign and return the road to October 14, 2007, to build that in changing the Democratic Party to change Italy.

Why we will never have an Obama or McCain
(Ilvo DIAMONDS - THE REPUBLIC)

A CUSTOM impersonal and irresponsible features Italian politics. A media democracy, full of faces and names known and visible. That, however, has reduced and almost abolished the ability of voters to express choices and preferences "personal." Now that the construction of political and parliamentary representation is something almost exclusive parties, reduced to a narrow circle of elites and centralized. Yet, almost twenty years ago, the story had begun differently. The crisis of the political system had been sanctioned, it is true, by the referendum of 1991, which reduced to a single electoral preferences.

But it was, then, to resize a partitocratico system, in which preferences were a device to control the company and at the same time, an exchange of power between groups. Afterwards, we went to the electoral systems that personalize the relationship between voters and elected officials. First locally, with the direct election of mayors, presidents of the province and, therefore, of the Region. A rapid process of presidenzializzazione widespread, that the electoral system of the House and Senate went along by the majority of the college, which makes it more immediate and transparent relationship between parliamentarians, citizens and territory.

That model, we are aware, did not reduce the fragmentation of political parties, let alone the gap between the political system and society. He, however, marked a break, at least on a symbolic level. Parties against presidents. Summary of the opposition between old and new, as noted by Mauro Calise.

Moreover, the parties have, themselves, all custom. From 1994 to present. Dall'archetipo unsurpassed, Silvio Berlusconi, to Walter Veltroni. Forza Italy Ulivo. The Democratic Party to the People of Freedom. Passing through the various lists. To limit the main Pannella and Bonino List, the List of Peter. But the National Alliance, before it joins the PDL, although possessed of identity and organization, a subject was identified with its leader, Gianfranco Fini. And nell'Udc, now, the C evokes the initial Casini.

Personalization is, of course, emphasized the use of the media. Television, in particular, gave the parties a face, a familiar image. Also in this phase. The ministers appear to the public the most popular characters are characterized, which read in fiction of success. Two above all. Brunetta, the avenger of citizens against the servants of the idle state (the state, in fact).

Mariastella Gelmini, protective parents and pupils by teachers unable or restoration of lost virtue: good conduct, good manners (the aprons), good teachers (only). While in opposition, across a very broad success Antonio Di Pietro, who stars as the guarantor of legality against misuse of the policy, and above all against Berlusconi (which is the compendium). But Beppe Grillo. Actor of the protests.

Moving from side to participate in the communication, it should be noted that the construction of the Democratic Party and, first, the Olive Tree, has taken place through the primaries. A rite of Mass to celebrate the choice of leader. Prodi, Veltroni.

However, for some time, the personalization of politics is with the depersonalization of voting choice. Tax, as regards the parliamentary elections, the electoral law in force in autumn 2005. A proportional coalition with premium and blocked lists. That is, no preference.

The bill, hastily invented by the center to counter the success of the center announced (especially favored by the majority), has, in fact, strengthened the central leadership of "all" parties. Allowing them to control and condition the candidature and, accordingly, the elect. While the candidates broke the tie with voters. So much so that the candidates have almost disappeared from the territory during the election campaign, confined, largely, to appear alongside the national leaders during major events.

The problem should have and could have been reduced through the appeal in the primaries. That, however, it has become very intermittent. Almost absent. The Democratic Party has used the primaries with caution. Avoiding, however, to make them too open and competitive. Nationally, however, are served at the investiture of leading pre-destined.

While the election of the Constituent Assembly and representative bodies at local level has been constrained by the need to ensure a balance between components in addition to monitoring (and maintenance) of leaders. Even in the choice of candidates for local office (mayors or presidents), the primaries are regarded with suspicion and treated with caution. Outsiders can not emerge. An Obama or McCain Noantri. No need to wait.

The question comes up again, today, in relation to the electoral system being designed for the forthcoming European elections. Expected, of course, a minimum threshold (3-4 percent), to reduce fragmentation. In addition, a larger number of constituencies. Finally: the abolition of preferences. On which there is no agreement. But, undoubtedly, do not mind - indeed, like - to parties in general. Even to the majors: PDL and the Democratic Party. Because it allows them to regulate and distribute, with algebraic precision and without risk, the places between the components (below) party. An Fi and, on one side. DS and the Margherita, on the other. That still resist and act. In addition to other currents.

We would reiterate that we are not fans of the vote. Memory of when we were a method of exchanging patronage. But suspicious that arouse fear in the parties, now that they no longer have a mass base and narrowing to a restricted circle of the summit. The contrast between the emphasis on personalization and the increasing depersonalization of the vote summarizes what is fictitious, today, the opposition between political parties and presidents. As the presidents identify parties 'closed', whose ruling class reproduces endogamy. Internally. Without competition, but, rather, co-optation from above.

This model, however, is consistent with the biography of the center. Invented, written and interpreted by a sovereign: Silvio Berlusconi. (This was discussed a lot in the recent conference of the Italian Society of Political Science, University of Pavia). But the center, and especially the Democratic Party - for history, culture and sociology - have no prospects without cultivating the relationship with the land and society. Without re-evaluate the primaries as a way "real" consultation and selection of its leaders. Without giving voters the opportunity to express - no way - their personal preferences. Without limiting the elect a responsible relationship with voters. Better than you think the Democratic Party in the forthcoming European elections. That, as always, will have political effects, first "national".
