Dear President Fini I would write memory of the many common battles for institutional renewal of our democracy. There are great expectations for his speech at the Party Tricolore. Some have already expressed a definitive (positive or negative) about the choices that she and those who support it have made in recent months. Others, however, and I believe are the majority, that the proceedings were pending, waiting to know more precisely what political perspective she proposes to pursue.
I think that the doubts and the doubts of those who look to the policy still retains a selfless attitude also derive from the context in which today's events place us. Italy is going through a very difficult time. For the first time, after several years, the prospect is not so clear. What seemed like a ford between the First and Second Republic, it is to many as a result of which you can not see the landing. And they make their way, his chest swelled, the voices of those who, from day one, they have bet on the failure of the bipolar system and the modernization of politics. Concerned, and as more than before, and bloated, breast swelling in the role of Cassandre stories, they would like to credited un'antistorica reading of events, according to which all depend on the evils of Italy from having left the shores of the First Republic myths in which citizens docile relied messianically the alchemy of the parties, custodians and interpreters of the general will. It matters little if those parties formed governments and destruction on the heads of voters, regardless of whether squander public resources to build up a consensus on drugs, no matter whether the public debt increased dramatically, a burden on future generations.
She is credited, along with others, starting with Berlusconi and Prodi have agreed to play another game in Italian politics. To have bet on change, to liberate our country from the undertow of a political system almost over, what was the first republic. Today, however, for many reasons, again the question of which game you want to play. The challenge seems to be opening and alternatives are again those of the direction to take. I am increasingly convinced that the crisis of the Second Republic did not depend on what did or did not want do on the road of innovation, not that that road was wrong. The Second Republic is in crisis because it is an unfinished, underpinned by a permanent state of emergency that has never become normal.
In this "Unfinished" still a traditionalist and hypocritical rhetoric about the quality of institutions, though - just because you think clearly for a historical period is now light years away (the Cold War) - now shows all its weaknesses. In this "unfinished" has been no contribution to the building up of moderate parties of bipolarity. They, so far, have preferred to gain their approval demonizing the democracy of cultivating nostalgia for maneuvers Parliamentary and balance neocentrista and preferring erode rather than build. In this "Unfinished" major parties have proved to be still largely inadequate to the role of pillars of a modern democracy and therefore able to contain themselves in the physiological internal dissent. The prevailing fear instead of being paralyzed or failure of those disagreements consociational forms of fireplaces and summits. In this "unfinished", finally, nobody, really nobody was able to renounce the use of veto powers to incapacitate those who make our democracy so often impotent and ineffectual, but then require the use of instruments and improvisations to an emergency.
is at this crossroads that lie do the questions and expectations about its decisions.
not for me to enter into the merits of the more purely political. I will just say that today there is great need of courage. We need to take what is left unfinished. Winning the hypocritical defense of the status quo in the name of the rhetoric of "clash of civilizations" between Berlusconi and antiberlusconiani and openly address the frown of outraged orthodoxy Vestal nostalgic.
She was a supporter of the draft presidential election law of the change of direction in single-member constituency, the overcoming of bicameralism equal, the reduction in the number of parliamentarians, better and more modern definition of the relationship between majority and opposition, a more balanced relationship between the state powers. We know too well that without effective institutions and modern materials, none of the problems that beset the people can be truly solved. And we know that politics has an enormous need for personal responsibility and change.
Federalism and presidentialism, with proper judicial reform, could be a good balance to ensure efficiency and protect national unity.
It is time to resume the battle. It is time for Italy to open a truly constituent phase, abandoning the illusion that politics can always compensate and no structural deficiencies of an inadequate institutional and thus increasingly de-legitimized in the eyes of citizens.
And as this may seem utopian to the limit in the red-hot climate of today, we must not forget that the realism of having to navigate - which all are tempted - can kill the ambition and passion for great things, that move civic engagement. Without them, politics is reduced to the existing administration.
I am sure that this platform can be found at many convergences in politics and civil society, beginning with the majority that you claim. It is a way to keep up with pride to take the lead and remove all doubt that our bet was too bold for Italy.
