From Europe (Wednesday edition)
The Democratic Party do not understand most
On 14 December, the day of the expected vote on the motion of no confidence in the government, not the crest of the apocalyptic story. However, it is a watershed of some importance for the continuation (or discontinuation) of the legislature, for the evolution of the political system and therefore also for the Democratic Party. Common sense would suggest to their leaders to wait for that step, not irrelevant for the purposes of the developments to follow. So to stay while the legitimate disputes within the Democratic Party about its strategic perspectives in order to manage a unit of the current situation. In order to reopen the debate then having two elements highly uncertain at the moment: the confidence or no confidence in the Berlusconi government and the continuity or otherwise of the legislature.
elements not at all indifferent to the systemic point of view, that is, with respect to how the total of Italian democracy, the right of the center of the left.
However, at the risk of contradicting myself, and that is to surrender myself to the temptation to project on the untimely fate of Pd in \u200b\u200bthe medium long term, I feel the need to understand (I am content with understanding ...) the positions within the party.
is no easy task. Someone speaks of Babel. I try to exemplify. I have not understood Nicola Latorre. I did not understand why even ask the question today of a "new foundation" of a Democratic Party that encompassed Vendola and calling into question the primary coalition. Bold thesis, however, again, out of time. But I understand even less certain because veltroniani have torn clothes. Those who stress the vision of the so-called party to call the majority should not oppose - in principle and in due time - a process leading to enlargement of the PD to forces that have made an explicit choice of the center-field and that by participating in the primaries, could move towards a party coalitional government with culture (in the case of Vendola).
A Pd boundaries wider and not so distorted. I do not understand the logic of those who preach a bipolar system to the limit of bipartisanship and then object to the processes of progressive integration between the forces of the same field. I understand more from the standpoint of Fioroni & Company, which pose discriminating on the left of the Democratic Party. Fioroni which, with its centrist moderation (again, I do not understand that c'entrino Catholics), then oscillates between the propensity to turn almost exclusive alliance with the centrist UDC and the concern to deliver to them the representing quell'elettorato which he claims to give voice inside the Democratic Party. I make it short: if Fioroni wants a more centrist Democratic Party positions and less on the left with the only ally he puts in the UDC account the expansion of political space to the left of the Democratic Party is therefore an object works against the dogma of the bipolar veltroni; Veltroni if \u200b\u200ba party advocating a vocation majority must be satisfied with the progressive aggregation processes on the right but also left the Democratic Party.
The one and the others would agree. Unless their unnatural alliance had only one explanation: a common front against the secretary of the PD, while cultivating opposing strategies. For more than a signal, in truth, one gets the impression that the port is another: Veltroni on the convergence of centrist moderates Fioroni. A result corroborated by the positions on the programmatic veltroniani increasingly inclined to translate the much-trumpeted reform, together with the magic word "innovation" in the positions of moderate centrism. A purpose not at all ambitious, but on the contrary, in spite of the slogan "change and not to defend," defeatist than about "reform" the social relations in the direction of more equality. Why reform should also be this: the commitment to change the structure of social relations, the distribution of power and resources for the benefit of those most disadvantaged. Unless that, an obsession that goes to the revisionist cultural subservience to the right, the left intends to reject not only the means but also the older end of the tension that is equality. In my view, would, if anything, this subordination and surrender in this distortion of the PD. But even within the congressional majority, in due course, will be useful to clarify. I think of those who, like D'Alema and read, all too bet on a privileged axis with the UDC, who explained to us in many ways that its strategic focus is other and different from ours (with or without a Vendola Peter), a center that seeks to "normal" and not competing with us in Berlusconi and after that, let's face it, has given to understand that it is ready to begin immediately in a new government also led the Knights. Perhaps it would have already done Casini it not been for the opposition of the League.
is why I remain convinced that we must apply to our site, to organize the center-field, to keep the bar stopped and aimed at a clear alternative to the ideal and political center of today and tomorrow. The future course, however, that must guide us right now, is still the one drawn by Bersani only a couple of months ago: Olive with new forces that make a clear choice of the center-field (a demanding and long breath, which requires discipline and self-corrections made by each partner), the supply center of the formation of a pact and a government program for the next term (we have to forward the proposal, even though, at present, they show themselves reluctant), and finally, as a last resort to an extreme in the case of elections where the stakes were breaking with the corollary of the constitutional Berlusconi al Quirinale, the largest democratic alliance to defeat Berlusconi's populism Bossi, rewrite the rules of political competition, then - stop the pair B & B - after a term of transition back to split along the axis right-left safely Democratic.
At the moment I do not think that the Democratic Party, other strategies are feasible. If there are, I wish they were played, but just visions and strategies should be, not to confuse tactical moves or games positioning procedure.
