Better late than never. Skeleton could be this comment on the decision taken by Andrea Causin , which resigned from the post of deputy secretary of the regional PD. Clear, and largely persuasive, but the reasons given to explain this choice. On the one hand, the terrible hemorrhage of voters registratasi between the policies of 2008 and regional elections last March, with a negative balance of more than 40% of votes less. On the other hand, the complaint of the inability of the management team to understand the reasons for not rooted in the territory of the party. Clear words - at last - followed by consistent behavior, even if late. The crisis of Pd

Venetian received then further accelerated by the announcement of the passage of Bottacin Diego, last secretary of the Margherita, the mixed group of banks in the regional council. A gesture, this certainly different from that of Causin, who remained in the party, but also indicative of a malaise at the limit.
After the incredible story of Joseph Bortolussi , chosen as the candidate of the center-governor, and then abandoned after the defeat to his fate. After the birth of "Towards the North," and the release of the fact of people like Massimo Cacciari , these shots further report that it has come to an end really.

But what most worried about, in a situation that is not exaggerated to define dramatic is the response of the regional secretariat, remained pathetically perched in an unnecessarily defensive attitude. As if the 400 thousand voters were lost in two years Causin invention. As if the blatant inadequacy of cultural, technical and policy of the regional manager was not visible to everyone. As if you were to wait who knows what else to decide electoral drubbing to a showdown delayed for too long. as if the loss of so many figures representing not put in issue, sometimes explicitly, the guidelines and the ability of those who ruled the Democratic Party in the Veneto region of at least a couple of years now. I really do not understand what you are still waiting for immediately clear picture of the regional leadership, and also of many provincial leaders , with the spirit of those who at least tries to start over. There is no election date close to justify a wait and see. The Titanic is now full of holes, water boards on all sides, the shipwreck is near. To remain on deck to dance to the sound of orchestra, as if nothing was happening, it would be the latest in a series already too far wrong and irresponsible behavior. Before the prospect of complete failure becomes inevitable, you at least try to recover a bit in extremis' dignity, giving back to voters and members the prerogative to decide the structure and the strategic guidelines the party that should be the pivot of an alternative process leghizzazione runaway. Never before at this time we can say that really, at this point, the only thing that you can lose is a condition of subordination became day after day even humiliating. The fund has been touched. With a little 'courage and honesty you can only try to go back.
