Alessandro Campi Fini's speech that take place in Mirabello on September 5 is charging excessive expectations frankly, as though we were up for a few turns of history, those destined to change forever the course of Italian politics. What to say to his fans old and new and certainly curious that, given the climate of curiosity increasingly flocked to the town of Ferrara? Announce the birth of a new party, as many expect, or simply to set conditions for his return to the PDL? Beat hard on Berlusconi, as many fear and others hope, or tend the proverbial olive branch? He will speak only of politics or even make a mention of his private affairs? Use words and fiery tones of tribune, by comiziante consumed, or it will show a calm and cautious as the institutional role and the delicacy of the moment require?
The Speaker does not speak in public for over a month since the press Berlusconi has launched its tabloid, that if he has not had the hoped for political effect - Fini's resignation from his current office - but has objectively helped tarnish the public image. After so long a silence, broken only by an official told the agency in the days most fiery controversy, after a hammering of accusations and insinuations in many ways unusual, and also no sign of ceasing to expect from him a decisive and enlightening, which is not only a brilliant exercise in rhetoric, is actually the minimum.
If the fabric of a political leader can be seen in difficult times is therefore understandable that the friends and foes lying in wait to finally understand what he has in mind and what it intends to do in the near future. But from here to imagine, for next Sunday, a firework or something that frankly surprising move there runs. Also because the political path of Fini, for those who have followed the steps in the past two years, who understands what really happened in recent months and weeks, in many ways is already sealed.
Fini, quite simply, at some point in his career has taken a position in the center politically antagonistic than Berlusconi, judging sold out in many ways the driving force and innovative capacity of Berlusconi and having meanwhile developed different ideas from the latter on many subjects: from immigration to the constitutional reforms, justice to the national question, from bioethics to the model of the party. The competition between the two, often touted for personal disputes, often wound up using categories such as treachery and betrayal, in fact, has always focused on questions of method, content and style of politics. To a certain point it was held, in an entirely physiological, within the perimeter of the PDL, in which Fini has always claimed for itself - as the founding of the party - and a critical minority, consistent with the character plural and inclusive, at least on paper, this new political education.
But his positions, always treated with disdain and annoyance, never discussed the substance, at one point were considered not only eccentric and needlessly provocative, but also incompatible with the nature and substance personalistic and charismatic owner of the PDL , especially when Fini took the issue to flaunt the law. There followed a dramatic break in the facts that led to his expulsion after a very summary procedure.
course, not all share a similar center in the reconstruction. The vulgate Fini Berlusconi does not confer upon any political design, as unrealistic, but criticizes the exclusive Berlusconi's desire to eliminate from the scene by any means, attempt to wear down by a debilitating guerrilla war and accuses the parliamentary side of working with prosecutors politicized. Which explains the political and media beating that followed, however, after many warnings and veiled threats very, forced removal of the component Finian. While it does not recognize any political value to the positions of Fini has finally opted for the path of personal discredit, blackmail and dell'ingiuria.
Mirabello and thus returned to the expectations many have for this appointment. What else should be doing if not on this occasion to reiterate Fini, once for all the reasons just political and cultural, not personal character, his disagreement with Mr Berlusconi, if you do not specify and clarify the contours of the "new right" to whose construction has so far mostly? Sure, there are at stake in the immediate short the process and the possibility of an agreement to save the term and avoid early elections. The Chronicles policies of those hours are filled with appeals for harmony and calls for a truce. There is talk of re-uniting the majority around a few points of the program and the possibility of including the rebels in the ranks of the PDL in exchange for their act of honesty was very similar in fact to an act of submission. We try to avoid in every way, worth the threat to return to the polls, the birth of a new party that many condemn Fini a final irrelevance.
But all these edifying intentions do not take account of the fact that the path taken by Fini, also joked that he has not in recent years, but at this point his detractors were right, it is now objectively different from that of Berlusconi: competitive without it necessarily being an alternative. Which means, incidentally, that nothing prevents the two continue a relationship, but having clear differences that divide them.
finiano The project, compared that hitherto pursued by the Knights, now assumes a different reading of the Italian society and history, use another language, interprets different institutional dynamics, conceived in another way the state and the rules of democracy, aims to involve areas of civil society outside the social bloc that has historically supported the Berlusconi. This project, at least on paper, is a candidate to collect in part the legacy of that but on a new basis.
The real surprise, but this negative and damaging to his political image, it would be if Mirabello Fini disavow this.
