Giorgio Piga
Maybe it's a trivial way that I decided to give the following article, but I can not find anything better to summarize in a simple and effective way that is, in fact, the crisis of the center. Crisis that reached its peak with Berlusconi's victory in the elections of 2008, as we all know, led to the exit from the Parliament of the fringes of the left and the extreme right. This has led to a substantial simplification of the political system and, finally, to a situation where small parties are not more needles fatal destiny of the balance of a coalition government (though, frankly, to pay the costs of this are almost always were the center-left governments rather than those of center-right, if we exclude the fall of Berlusconi in '94 by Bossi).
Right here is one of the first considerations to be done twice, the center-left alliance led by Romano Prodi has received a mandate to govern and after two years, with a punctuality that rivals a Swiss watch, has fallen. The first time thanks to the coherence and political foresight of Mr. cashmere, aka Fausto Bertinotti, who believes that Prodi would not have protected the interests of workers and because We are going to talk about meritocracy, this stranger was well thought of denying the confidence to Prime Minister along with all his followers and leave the country in the hands of Mr. B. The second time it has provided the intellectual folly of Senators Smith and Turigliatto, Prc always in the first instance and, secondly, we put the firm and is convinced that political ideal of Mastella, struck a year later on the way to Arcore, has decided that his real party was the PDL.
Not so much the first fall of Prodi, and the second, they pulled the center in a collapse that I believe will leave the signs for the next fifteen years, while the radical left (in the meantime continues to divide as it has not learned the lesson) was literally destroyed. Obviously, this has resulted in electoral drubbing in part stemmed from the creation of the PD and the presence of a leader more charismatic Prodi, namely Walter Veltroni, who is credited with having saved the implosion center; aware to stand for election with the usual, old, hackneyed alliances would mean a defeat of epochal dimensions, has broken with the extreme wing represented by the PDCI, PRC and the Greens with that, you know, the results obtained were in nothing short of terrifying. But here's another consideration: the total inability of the party to support his secretary, despite the enough already compromised. Since it seems that the saying "wolf loses hair but not vice" is absolutely true, the leaders of the Democratic Party continued to fight each other beautifully and attack their leader who, predictably, has not been able to keep reins of the situation and had to leave after the first secretary of the regional election defeats.
Right now, the Democratic Party lacks the strength and cohesion that are able to counteract the power of media, even before political dell'Egoarca. And this looks set to persist, at least until it will remain within the "usual suspects" which, although not to give up their position privilege, they seem likely to blow it to hell without asking too many questions about the consequences of their actions. Until then, although the influx of the primary results are reassuring and do more than hope for a renewed confidence of the people, who is undecided whether to vote center-right or center will be very reluctant to restore confidence to the latter, given the precedents.
More than ever the Democratic Party requires that long-awaited renovation, the only one who is able to create a strong opposition and strong sense of identity, even in the pluralism of ideas and opinions, should work, in my view, a sort of Aufhebung, as Hegel said, that allows the crisis and disputes, but in store at the same time, what is the internal dialogue flowing into a "synthesis", again to quote Hegel, provided, of course, resulting in the emergence of concrete targets and not the usual struggles intestine, but not enough. The PD will also resume the old habit that characterized the center o. at least, the PCI: go house to house to present their political views, finding that contact with people who are missing far too long, one wonders why the League, a harbinger of petty ideological and populist, and do not get such a broad consensus we understand that this is due to the fact that municipal and regional political party, so if we want to define it, they go to seek dialogue with ordinary people, they go to hear directly the problems at their root, are promising (although keeping is another story). What the opposition should pursue is just that, because it seems to have lost sight of the fundamental story which was playing at the time of the class struggle, the history that has its foundation on the closeness to the real problems of the people, the most immediate and concrete .
However, we should say, the Democratic Party is at present the strongest left-wing party in Europe, having a constituency of 30%, while in the rest of the sides as the German coming soon to 23%, moreover, are against Berlusconi also means being against a media system that is unparalleled in other countries, it appears that public opinion in a pounding incessant assuefacendola and convince them that, ultimately, the fact that Chairman of the Board has gone to bed with the escort is just useless chatter and uninteresting, if not false and utterly implausible. Defeating such a system is difficult and complex, particularly because of the difficulty of the party and also because of what I would call the center-dominant trait: the ability to divide and fight in the crucial moments of history (the splitting of Livorno is an obvious example ).
Nevertheless, I hope strongly that it is capable of understanding that, at present, be strong and cohesive means a lot, as there is the fate of an entire country, still in the hands of Mr. B.
