Pisces Woman Leaving Scorpio Man

WHI? COMMENT

Why? The children repeat it to conquer the world very often the parents (sometimes imabarazzandoli because often adults - when have lost the will to stay a little child - can not answer). Why, because there was still no answer to why the Veneto in Padua between 2008 and 2010 has halved its voters? Fault of the divisions? Fault current (pardon the sensitivity)? Why in the face of the most serious political crisis of post - the first republic in opposition (according to polls) can not gudagnare consensus? Because the PD seems to suffer from the syndrome of Stuttgart (not Stockholm) and as soon as it finds a leader already decreed in a sense the end? Because if the Democratic Party can become a majority (as I believe) does not bother to become, himself, subject of the catalyst potential allies rather than always going to draw? I believe we need a cure purification before anything else. First be purged from the past, very often, seems more a nostalgic feeling that the ability to raise an eye to the future. We must rediscover the design skills of this political entity potentially (if only we had had all the will) can make a wonderful blend of the thought of reformist socialism, democratic Catholicism with that of democracy: namely the two traditions of thought more profitable of all in Europe. If the PD is (was?) A new party, was new also be its ability to decipher, the decline of contemporary anxieties. The trouble seems to me, this PD is to have lost, lost his calling for reform. Recovery only just shaking off the old membership surreptitious So when they are to hide the real policy issues, we can return to being a catalyst for all those who, with us, share the fascinating and beautiful idea that the policy serves to outline the future.




May the force be with you!

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.

Crolla the Pd Venetian, I'm not


Forty-five days ago I resigned as deputy secretary of the Democratic Party Veneto. I did it openly and honestly, after repeatedly put questions in the bodies of Deputies. I did it to highlight, not a personal matter, but to create an opportunity to discuss the status of the party, before it is too late.
In April 2008, after the birth of the Democratic Party, 812,406 voters gave us the confidence vote. In April 2010, during the regional elections, while tow with the candidates and preferences, we collected only 436,309 votes. We have halved our electorate in less than two years and today, since we are 5 million in Veneto, one can say that not even a citizen of every ten voters is the Democratic Party.
While most authoritative observers of the Centre of the Veneto, as the philosopher Umberto Curi, hastened to point out the truth and the gravity of the reasons I have raised, the management team veneto addressed the issue as if it were a personal waiver. In the same way has been treated in the release of the party Bottacin Diego, a regional councilor in office, co-founder of the Democratic Party and secretary of the Venetian Margaret, when he was the first party of the center in Veneto. As well as force a deafening silence by the leadership of the Veneto region, compared to de profundis that one of the most influential founders of the Democratic Party, Massimo Cacciari, we dedicate ourselves daily. The practice of
mystify or conceal the reality is worse than a harbinger of sudden and painful awakening. I do not think half of our electorate has been engulfed in fog and Po are rather inclined to think that this mass extinction is due to the distance that the party has labeled the Venetian society. A dramatic result of the distance choice to give up the profile reformer of Italian politics and the vocation to modernize a country that observes the decline of the Second Republic, the poorest, torn and disappointed.
A distance-related folding in conservatism the left that leads us to be very credible in Veneto affirming the need to fight for a new development model for the autonomy of intermediate bodies, for a new fiscal pact, for the modernization of public administration through the contraction of spending and recognition of merit and many other issues. Yet, our country would need to see a credible alternative, able to speak to the heart of the Veneto region difficult. A Region wounded in body and soul. Deeply marked by the violence of waters that broke the banks of rivers in 20 points, has injured 300. Thousands of homes were heavily damaged and three thousand bottle companies are not now in able to resume production. A region that is also wound in the soul of a fierce economic crisis that has led to use the first ten months of 2010, more than 120 million hours of lay-offs, against the average of the 15 that were used annually until 2008. A region that was affected 400 corporate crises per year, compared to 100 who ran in the ordinary way.
a region which, with 150 000 workers in charge of the social safety nets (14 per 100) are paying a cost in human and social potential. A Region at the mercy of the Northern League, a party that every day, in every home, expresses the wish to appropriate institutions. Those public and even private ones, such as banking foundations. And it leaves unanswered the other hand major issues related to our future and that of our children, daily marking the inability to think of a new development model, a new land policy, the reorganization of the social health system and a new generation of physical infrastructure and knowledge.
While this happens, part of the party does not see or pretend not to see, and in many cases allows the luxury of the responsibilities entrusted with the selection backwards, regardless of consent, merit, competence, sensitivity and experience. So severe that the patient is often found in medical care of inexperienced or incompetent.
The responsibility of the democratic movement is therefore to be able to do something before it is too late and before the voters they will not certify the vote, the insignificance of the PD. Every so often, a friend tells me that we must wait, be patient, do not be intemperate and continue to hope. Must continue to hope and you can. However
hope I mean, if I may say so in the words of Bonoeffer is not idle waiting for those who expect that things will naturally turn to the better, but the choice and determination to act.

Before it's too late, if not already too late.
