Circolo PD "Montagnola "
Coordination of the Circle PD Montagnola, which met on 18.6.2008 at its temporary headquarters via Arcadia 29, approve the following Agenda: Agenda
In order to contribute to the evaluation of the national vote and Roman last April, the first decisions taken by the center-right government, the attitude of the opposition and the consequences that are deemed necessary as a result of the negative outcome of the election and the first acts of government, coordination of the Circle PD "Montagnola" with thoughts that follow the national level, provincial, regional and national as well as all other clubs PD of Rome City Hall XI, hoping that we can quickly reach a formal co-ordination between them.
Rating national political
Italy coming out of the vote turns sharply right. The PD keeps the votes and the Olive Tree coalition statement records the good of Italy of Values. In the opposite camp, the PDL maintains its previous position and recorded a doubling of the Northern League. The center-narrows its field from 51% to 38% against the coalition of the center to 47%. The meaning
. Italy confirms the trend towards two-party and in this context, it is unequivocally right. Exit Left resized very "radical" in the country (and because of new electoral system introduced by the previous Berlusconi government disappears from the Parliament) and the accession to the logic of the "useful vote" to the PD, which can thereby offset some of the diaspora votes of moderate Catholics to the UDC and PDL, and for the rejection of his policy proposal too discordant and often at odds with the collective decisions of the government and considered by the electorate clearly inadequate to meet the challenges of today. The PD takes
, thanks to the "Red Aid" that compensates for the departure of moderate Catholics of the former Margaret, but did not win. Instead win the Northern League and Italy of Values, the political parties closer to the positions of the 'anti-politics "and received more attentive to the theme of" safety "of citizens and respect for legality, the central themes of the campaign.
For the PD is a dual signal: •
of relatively resilient compared to "fall in popularity, thanks to innovations introduced by Veltroni on the simplification of the policy (" run themselves "); •
of" failure to break through the middle " for lack of novelty in terms of the proposed policy and a new management team (the failure of "symbolic candidacies," the result of centralization of the abstract composition of the lists at all levels) .
Rating administrative
Overall, it confirms the right to ebb, with the glaring tip of the fall of Rome and what is worse, in the hands of right-wingers already wrought by the initial lack of chances. The meaning
.
is less reassuring given that the personnel policy of the left is most appropriate to administer.
In contrast, when, as in Rome, the candidate is perceived as "old" and the result of calculations and top-down tactical repositioning is cruelly abandoned even by the voters of the center, which prefer protest against "a certain way of doing politics "and the usual worn reminder" to close ranks "against the right. In Rome it consumes one of the worst defeats of the PD and with it, of a political elites still too old and worn with impaired balance ex DS - former Margaret.
The meaning "punishment" of Roman voting is strengthened when compared with the success of the candidate of the center of the Province of Rome Nicola Zingaretti.
Learning from the Tree of "full governance," bravely rocked by Veltroni after two "no-win" of '96 and '06, but were collected the right-wing coalition.
To propose as credible alternatives in 5 years the Coordination of the Circle of having to Montagnola believes in two directions, simultaneously completing the renovation started: •
update the ideal profile of our policy proposal.
Faced with the complexity of the challenges that a globalized world poses to all advanced societies, with the burden of uncertainty, confusion of values \u200b\u200band declining economic productivity, we must know how to listen and interpret the needs and new needs of the population, not to chase the demagogic "found" the right, but to find effective new ways of intellectual courage, and then convincing in the light of our values \u200b\u200bare distinct from the right: equality of opportunity, solidarity and respect for the rules in a context of cultural, civil and productive.
needs to be rethought in a "strong" position of a Progressive Party against the Italian company at the time of globalization, with the ambition to represent the hopes of the left. From this point of view it seems even cloying initiative that involved members of the former Margaret in the international position of the PD.
We can not settle for being perceived as a reference for civil servants and pensioners, for more now entrenched in the center - Italy. If we are to aspire to leadership in the country we have to cope with the consent of the productive classes and popular, now the prerogative of the right.
must therefore have the ability to interpret and select the priority needs in the "society of uncertainty" and be able to innovate compared to more traditional solutions, but not more credible and convincing.
Only under these conditions it is reasonable to point to "break" against the classes that today identify with the moderate right-wing programs.
This calls for the start phase of the policy discussion in terms of ideal and programmatic commitments throughout Party in a free and frank discussion, starting with the clubs. This path must lead to a Congress politician in advance, provided that does not result in a referendum on leadership. Either now or never used the search for a scapegoat, or the sanctification of the head that would lead to the easy way out "do not disturb the crane driver."
• build the Party in the territory as organized training.
In this regard, we note that a building should be taken without resistance from below and ambiguity, with a summit that makes only a facilitator of the process that must lead to blend the militants and voters base (other than "current") . It should be the emergence of a new leadership at all levels to replace the now inadequate who led us so far and what still has to be our gratitude for his efforts to lead the country and the city of Rome. This together with the construction of the Party with a membership in the strict sense, a transparent selection of management teams chosen by the members, the formation of majorities and minorities based on discriminatory policies and not to former members. From this point of view it is noted that the Regional Coordinator for the replacement of the opposite is happening.
Otherwise it is very unlikely that the party can credibly hold until 2009 with organizational top-down product of alchemy. Training lists for the October 14 primary, the criteria that are contingent, have outlived their function. It requires a close question that, from a profound internal debate animated by old and new members and participants in the primaries, allowing an inescapable parts of the leadership of the Party at all levels.
Far from pursuing a "hunt for the guilty," we believe that only this process will be able to legitimize a new political leadership, widespread from different regions, to lead the opposition today and prepare for the reconquest of the country's government and its Capital .
In this context, does not reassure the recent trend to outsource gattopardescamente pregnancy the new structure to the old elites co-opted, as "guarantors" of the process.
proposes that attract and engage the militants is that all citizens in thematic meetings on the political value of civil society, international activities, social development and work, etc.. trying to understand the demands from below in a draft free exchange of opinions and summaries of moods and interests of the electorate that makes them feel players and non-taxable policies.

Article of the Day: The Return of
caiman (Edmondo Berselli - L'Espresso)
populist measures. Demagogic ads. Crusade on immigrants. But it is with justice that the attack on Berlusconi takes to show his true face
And now, poor man? From parts of Walter Veltroni and the Democratic Party is beginning to be off the awful suspicion: that is to be dropped as dupes in supertrap of Silvio Berlusconi. Other than the 'statesman', all smiles and new institutional dignity. Rather, the author of a trappolone crazy, supercazzola a historical and a hook swallowed by the Democratic Party with all the line up the barrel. A masterful trick that starts with the strategy of a smile, a few months before the election, when the Knights began to attract Veltroni to playing one on one, counting on the pride of veltroniani, and their confidence that the great innovation represented by the Democratic Party would structurally change the competitive environment, make us forget the deep consensus that had precipitated the Prodi government and allow the New center to break through the middle, thanks to the modernism of his policy proposal.
As in all the plots perfect, her makeup was there on the table, in full evidence, and had Viking horns and the features of the League, welcomed the electoral alliance of the right party as a 'regional', and then compared with the marginal outline of the face to face Berlusconi-Veltroni era, and instead proved decisive, with the almost doubling of its votes in the North, in the accounts of the balance of power in the elections and to quantify its heavy defeat in the Democratic Party. But the dish was actually palatable by Berlusconi: the elections had gone, however, the heads-up between the old capopopolo Forza Italy and the new secretary of the Democratic Party would finally legitimized and normalized Italian politics by giving the two leaders 'allure' constituent 'and leaving the field open for the building of the Third Republic.
is why until a few days ago, the attitude of Veltroni has appeared to justify the attack impatiently Arturo Parisi, who with a blunt interview with 'La Repubblica' said the first task: "To accept defeat. "Otherwise the Democratic Party would still toyed, as they say in areas close to former Defense Minister, with the comforting, however preposterous, idea to have won, or nearly all elections and be in government with Berlusconi.
To exit this rosy cloud, it was necessary that the Knight revealed his true face, then her face is usually smoothed with 44 teeth of the caiman, the animosity against the interest of justice red robes, those who want to cling on six-year sentence at first instance for the Mills affair, that is for an alleged massive tax evasion, and that prompted Berlusconi to modify the decree on security, to include its usual and constitutionally sneaky killer 'ad personam'.
But in fact, that under the mask of the statesman there was always the same Berlusconi, the demagogue intolerant of legal controls and institutional, was much more than a suspicion of malicious. The strategy on the way to Berlusconi's Palazzo Chigi was deployed with all the adroitness of the case. The untrustworthy Pier Ferdinando Casini had been kept outside the borders of the PDL and the alliance. Survived electorally, he found himself in an uncomfortable position, squeezed between PDL and PD, ignored by the media, virtually silenced, while the other of the Dioscuri, Gianfranco Fini, who had dared to open a few months ago to the sound of a fight with insults Knight, had been made to accommodate on the jump seat of the presidency of the Chamber, the third position in the State (in theory), but in fact conveyed in a siding.
But the real masterpiece of Berlusconi had been made with the formation of the government. Palazzo Chigi with fluty under the direction of Gianni Letta, a meeting place and management of political, civil, military and clerical, Berlusconi has put his blocks in the critical positions of the government. Next to the disarming Angelino Alfano, as the true shadow minister for Justice has placed his criminal lawyer Niccolo Ghedini, the Azzeccagarbugli of which are known
legal niceties. With a game of checks and balances placed a former fascist, Ignazio La Russa, the Defence and a secessionist, Roberto Maroni, the Interior. And the authentic masterpiece
succeeded in assembling the package of mixed government, distinguished by the last heirs of the PSI and craxismo (Renato Brunetta, Giulio Tremonti, Maurizio Sacconi, Franco Frattini, not to mention Stefania Craxi). Now, old and young craxiani as Berlusconi knew, a dowry have it: they are capable of doing politics. Have in the past few taboos. As a culture, are eclectic.
And faced with the need to govern a country in economic stagnation, where it will be difficult to meet the expectations raised among citizens, especially as regards income, especially Tremonti Brunetta and were told it was not should go on the classic and predictable. Inventions needed to be "national socialism" (as Nino Andreatta said the controversy from 'wives' with Rino Formica: although it must be remembered that often Andreatta thought in English, and the formula 'national socialism', rigidly translated into Italian, it sounded good) .
Brunetta attacked on the front of the civil service, opening up the issues of transparency and passing threats against the "lazy". Tremonti has tried to apply the field to the postulates of his pamphlet 'The fear and hope', inventing the 'Robin Hood Tax', which quickly became 'Robin Hood Tax', in consonance with the no-global Tobin Tax educated, and should put hands in the pockets of oil companies and banks by taxing short-term profits. Now, it does not take long to realize that this tax is an illiberal extortion, and operation of colossal demagogy (those who decide that the profits are excessive? Minister of the Economy?). Others charge that "ethics". A tax appraisal, painted populist: an exercise in political cynicism for a consensus-style Putin.
Yet, in a morally deprived as the Italian Cultural very few voices were raised against the design of neostatists Tremonti. Old and young liberals, who held classes until half an hour ago with the ultra-liberal finger raised to her lips and ass chicken, have adapted to the dictates without flinching Tremonti. Poor Shadow Minister Pier Luigi Bersani has tried to explain that the tax burden will be immediately passed on to consumers, "the pump", but his voice, as well as subtle criticism of Confindustria, has been smothered by the applause of the audience cheering.
Only when Berlusconi took the blow of justice someone woke up. It held a first and interim financial statements. Alitalia to voice, it is likely half disaster, after the Knight has deliberately caused the failure of talks with Air France, this could allow for a stew and a significant loss of jobs. Waste in Naples, Berlusconi has thrown a dead body, again based on the idea that problems will be solved only if he rolls up his sleeves (but it will take three years, the militarization of landfills, and some wonder in delays in completing the incinerators). Nuclear power was revived by the expert uranium Scajola without any discussion and without any depth, with the announcement that will begin in 2013 but obviously without explaining where (say when it will start a nuclear program is easy, say the places where they get their power, however, less).
Domestically, after building a climate towards demented immigrants and gypsies, and combined with some casino-related crime or aggravating the underground, the government launched the mad militarization of the city's initiative, a depressing signal that multiplies the alarm for safety. In foreign policy, and Frattini Berlusconi have already offered to George W. Bush, the commitment in Afghanistan, most of what the American president could and would offer in return. In Europe, the government announced it will honor prodiani programs on the return of the deficit and, with some vulgarity League on the Irish referendum, for now it does not seem real to cultivate vocations Eurosceptic. The rest, heavy cuts and thinning of the provinces to local authorities, belongs to the DNA of the center. Abolition of ICI and partial de-taxation of overtime were two symbolic measures, little useful and perhaps harmful.
But now that Berlusconi has felt compelled to reopen the site of conflict with the law, which could have destructive reflections on the constitutional level (in particular the President of the Republic), all pretense is dropped. As for the Knight, as he naturally uninhibited, you Arranger: arretrerà in advance or according to your interests, the fear of conviction, the prospect of being elected by a majority on the highest hill. The attack on freedom of information with the bill on wiretapping, however, prepare a climate of 'demokratura', intellectuals close to the self-proclaimed liberals who applaud the media.
In any case, the Veltroni is a problem in particular: the Democratic Party is divided between current, foundations, cultural centers, and so is pulled down the entire left (see the catastrophic results in administrative Sicily) threaten to evaporate. In all likelihood, the structural design of the PD leader, political reconciliation and reform, and abortion. The election result was bankruptcy, the institutional program is going to run aground in front of the arrogance of Berlusconi. In this situation, there is that Congress might revive the Democratic Party. But if it is to invent something to salvage, for the 'democratic' it is time to think of something exceptional, the emergency situation, perhaps even heroic, even though we know it is unfortunate that the party that needs heroes.
