How often likes to say the Minister Tremonti, the word crisis (krisis from greek, "distinctive character", "separation" and then "choice", the "Decision") involves both a negative moment , intended as pure as opposed to reality pre-existing, and secondly a proposal phase, when a new order overlooking the still smoldering rubble of the status quo just shot down. According to recently leaked
environments close to the center-right Prime Minister, Berlusconi is in this spirit that, troubled by the long-standing legal proceedings relating to him and saddened by the allegations made against him by Caesarism co-founder of the PDL Fini, would be pondering a return Early turnout. The list of detractors accused of conspiracy is quite long: by the courts to rifondaroli disobedient vassals who long for his scepter (Fini and many Democrats), the shaft gang "Republican" to President Napolitano (guilty of failing to keep what could not promise), without neglecting the former concubine stone of the scandal, Veronica Lario, and merciless foreign newspapers which often hilarious caricatures they portray (and why not, even the eternal CIA, especially since Obama, a Democrat, is the White House). All remerebbero in adverse direction, all will ship it straight to Helena without going through the island, if only they could. Convinced, therefore, have against the so-called "great powers" (a term misused and smoky, the cornerstone of the conspiracy cheap), the possibility of a mass popular legitimacy appears as the only bank in a slow and inexorable decline. A New Covenant with the Italians after the flood election, which would sweep away opponents and slander, is looming on the horizon of the Italian political scene, especially if the face and the competitive instinct will prevail over the entrepreneur advice of swamps strategists realized, first read, watching the elections with fearful caution.
would then once again confirmed the endemic instability of our government, a prerogative that accompanies us from the time the Unit and that characterizes us, alas, in the eyes of the world along with pizza, mafia and "O 'sole mio ".
If it is true, as De Gasperi used to say that a politician looks to next election as a statesman for the next generation, our leaders do not shine for some foresight and, once metabolized the eventual defeat at the polls, promising his followers, thirsty for revenge and faithful to its origins Guelph / Ghibellines, to use every means to shorten the grueling five-year term expires. So that, nell'infuocata spring of 2006, while still not faded from the echoes of the controversy over the outcome of a tight, Berlusconi announced loudly the imminent end of the Prodi government (which would fall from there twice a year and half), also after the beating suffered in 2008, Veltroni arrembante prophesied that "the government would not be lasted five years, "despite the overwhelming parliamentary majority achieved by the deployment against. In doing so, in an atmosphere of total distrust and discredit each other in the mechanisms of alternation of a normal parliamentary democracy, Italy has come to hold the unenviable record of 60 (sessanta!) government in 43 years, from 1946 to today compared with 17 U.S. and 11 French (the latter with only 8 different presidencies). However, there is a substantial element of novelty in the crisis that meanders through the ranks of the government.
insulted At the time of the First Republic, when the majorities were formed after complex negotiations parliamentary unaware of the spotlight public opinion, political parties drew legitimacy almost entirely by the Parliament (the popular vote sanctioned only the relations of power between the sides). Consequently, the government crisis, mainly caused by the building plots, floral clusters (think of the governments "beach", so called because they could not stand the rigors autumn), enhancing the image of self that a world (the Policy) huddled in his ivory tower gave him. With the collapse of mass parties, and ideologies in general, after the end of the Cold War, the system proved to be suddenly outdated and unfair to the citizens, who claimed higher final say in choosing their representatives. It was then, in the grip of chaos and Jacobean populist fury unleashed by Tangentopoli, Italy lost a historic opportunity to modernize. The revolutionary wave that swept the country bore the proverbial rat, this time in the guise of a mysterious Second Republic, so named for the five aping the French Republic (yes those generated by radical changes, for better or for worse).
The results are clear: in 15 years, as many as 10 different governments (Berlusconi I, II, III and IV, I and II Prodi, D'Alema I and II, Dini Amato II), twice the U.S. and three times those of France completed in the same period. Only the anomaly Berlusconi and his extraordinary financial and media power have mitigated, at least in part, the exasperated futility of Government (with assets of two crises in 1994 and 2005, numerous reshuffles and adjustments in the running). But then, just when the political context seemed to have stabilized following the 2008 elections, which have crippled the extreme and given a strong mandate and unambiguously to the center-right coalition, a "crisis of abundance", in some ways mirror those Members, undermines the strength of the government. Paradoxically, the broad consensus in the country picked up along the way has proved a boomerang for President Council, to be sure of popular support, has spent up to the frenzy to consolidate the image of father of the country, "President of all" (think of the ostentatious paternalism in the earthquake of the Eagle, so as not to find dramatic evidence in recent experience), confident of being able thereby ensure long life to his execution.
But Italy is not a state nor a presidential-style democracy plebiscite. E'retta from one system to base its legitimacy from parliamentary electoral vote, Janus struggling to danger in any category Weber. Illusion of being able to steer to the sound of polls is misguided, especially if you ignore other factors necessary for stability. Convinced that show the muscles and exacerbate the tones at all costs index was strong, even at the cost of alienating potential allies (the clumsy handling of the case Boffo has deteriorated relations with the Catholic world is eloquent in this regard), the Premier has run in the long run the grave dug with their hands, so that even within his own party who is already talk of post-Berlusconi, although there are still the undisputed record holder of the votes. As in the step of the now famous speech, Berlusconi is therefore ready to play the game of survival (policy) not to die of starvation. But any called to the polls, a year and a half after the start of the current legislature and three and a half years from its natural end, lead to damage, and Italy with considerable economic. First, obviously, once again our schizophrenia, confirmed in an unreliable partner in the international scene, because, When he had to say, Bush (the former companion of the Premier) is very hard to maintain strong relations with a country that change the administration at every turn . But there's more.
Under the decree of one thousand extensions launched in 2005 by the then center-right majority, with the support of the opposition for once convinced, reimbursement election parties will still be made even if the early dissolution of, adding to the new reimbursement required by law and due for any future elections to come. Thus, for example, PDL and PD continue to receive lavish subsidies for the elections of 2006 (until 2011, natural end of defunct term), for those of 2008 (until 2013), which will be added reimbursement for new voting early in 2010. In other words, disguised as a triple public funding (as they had been repealed by a 1993 referendum, the law passed, find the loophole). A waste of public money absurd and foolish, especially in lean times, whereas between the other the huge operational costs that involves an election (for the 2006 total expenditure amounted to approximately € 393 million). How do right and that it would then cut the chatter, sacrifice, tears and blood?
