"The foreign press disgraced the country." "They want to do as in '94." " I wondered what really has changed since the intervention of the judiciary made out of all parties and all actors were forced to leave politics and someone also Italy." "The publisher of newspapers like Republic and 's Espresso has opened a campaign to attack the Prime Minister, with the aim of weakening with a character assassination." " of deliberately trying to cheat and fool myself that I move to avoid legislative " . " are the most persecuted politician in the whole history, of all ages of the world . A vehement
hear these statements, I remember the Stalin in recent years (as well as the painted people closest to him). Paranoid, and fearful of imaginary conspiracies textured behind him, without any contact with reality. And so Silvio Berlusconi. You hear constantly persecuted, now unable to look at reality, but loyal only to his personal narrative . An already weak prime minister following the well-known scandals, after the proceedings on the Lodo Alfano is even more holed up in the corner. And that is why most fear. And for this most dangerous .
To avoid the danger of a backlash of a Berlusconi now on Sunset Boulevard, this country would need of strong opposition, serious, capable of defending the cornerstone of our common home: the Constitution and the institutions that guarantee and defend the Head of State and the Constitutional Court, and more generally the 'democratic order , its system of checks and balances, the limitation of power in respect of the other. And at the same time also able to build a credible alternative, not only a new government, but a new horizon of meaning .
Sunday there was the Democratic Party Convention . I would like to fly over some of the mechanisms' of the Congress and the cumbersome formula empty appointment in Rome. The thing to emphasize is that, finally, for the first time since the birth of this party, we compare three positions, three different points of view and recognizable (though the tips of the pen of some columnists would have us believe otherwise ). And I agree with Concita De Gregorio, is "a wealth, for a party that does not even two years, count on candidates of this caliber." Today, what other political party can say the same?
And therefore, it is not all roses. As early as October 26, whoever comes out the winner from the great test of democracy that will be the primary need roll up their sleeves and work. And necessary condition to work (provided, of course, not the ultimate goal) is to remain united , plants of fight. The constant bickering of recent days between D'Alema and Franceschini, without considering the merits, are the most dangerous we can be. Let me be clear, even beyond the fence should not be all love and harmony, indeed. But you save (even, at times, for cowardice and sloth) to fire a friend. And this gives people a feeling of unity, which gives rise to some apparent credibility, however, that gives security .
Here, then, the first thing to do. Kept together, provided required to work. Working , but for what?
To build a Party, they anchored in the area, it become a place of participation . Operate the instrument as a mediator between the political sphere and society. it become a means to return to the government and change the country. One way, of course, return to Italy. To do this, a party needs a ' identity able to make it recognizable to the public. And to make recognizable the proposal.
This must be the PD. A window through which voters can see a new Italy, a modern, fairer, more fair.
What Bersani says about the right spreading ideology is all true. The right has been able to evoke an idea of \u200b\u200b country, unfortunate yes, but clear, clean, reassuring. It, however, it did so riding fears. They are wrong who say that the right is better able to interpret the needs of the people. Do not interpret them, because the interpretation suggests a solution to satisfy them. Simply jumped on his back and rides them , using populism and demagoguery as a whip.
The PD needs to do the exact opposite. Must make the center a positive shared value system . Draw a open society , inclusive, free from influences of corporatism and strong powers. A companies on where, at the same time, we strive to remove "obstacles economic and social, that limiting the freedom and equality of citizens, prevent the full development of the human "as stated in Article 3 of our Constitution. Again, a knowledge society , which invests in education and research, for only thus can a country be called modern and competitive in the global economy of the twenty-first century. A company Green, who is finally able, also looking to enter in the wake of fourth industrial revolution, along the road about to open Obama's America, together with our Europe. A society free from the yoke of mafias, which stifles the economy, freedom, life.
In order to do this it is essential that something was missing in these two years of the Democrats. Reconnect political action by the thought . In the era of the "death of ideologies " and especially in the age of liquid modernity and speed, thought, considered too "slow " has replaced the communication , the message simple or simplistic. But the political action that arises from one communication is evanescent. I'm thinking, culture, the ability to have an overall view of the world that give stronger roots political action , conveying a real change and tangible .
If the Democratic Party by October 26 will begin to do this, we can finally say goodbye to Berlusconi and look at the long end of the tunnel with new eyes.
