towards North without a compass
New Venice - November 2, 2010
VENICE. Will be "Towards North" alternative to the Venetian PD, the port of call for those who decided to leave the party? Who knows the Venetian policy for years, not since yesterday, is skeptical. And not just because of previous failed quickly, "the mayors' movement or the Northeast. Not all disappointed with the Democratic Party share the processing of the new political initiative in the party. And on the opposite side, there really anyone who thinks that the former president of the Veneto Giancarlo Galan is willing to divorce? Divorce Berlusconi in deeds, not words? Nor does it seem able to make a change so radical ventilated birth of a third pole at a national level political scientists assess their consistency in a 10-15 percent at most, therefore not able to blow up the battered two-party today. At least not until the Knight left the scene.
There is rather more people (and there are many) will work from within the Democratic Party to return to the original idea Veneto. As Paul Giaretta (pictured), former secretary of the party, among the signatories of the document Veltroni. Which urges us not to bury the criticism, though harsh, but to face a serious self-examination:
"When a party is beginning to be afraid of ideas, do the caricature
the opinions of others, to conjure up scenarios that
are divisive rather than the merits of the proposals, it means that it is not in good health
. We served the party in silence, and letting this drift
suffer? ".
It calls into question the strict assessment of 'Christian Family' where there argues that the crisis of the Democratic Party is more serious than that of the PDL, and that the party is "incapable of a deep cultural renewal and the rediscovery of core values cotruire on which a better world. " There is nostalgia for the Communist Party Fifties ranging abandoned, says Giaretta; which states that "I worked too many years to build a meeting between the country's reform agenda, to attend today's silent rejection of the risk of that project."
A project that Veltroni had won 34 percent of the vote, and that has now collapsed to 26. Opinions can be discussed, the numbers are text. What went wrong in the Democratic Party? He explains from a critical voice as that of Arturo Parisi: "In recent years we have dedicated ourselves to count, we counted many times, we counted an increasing number of people, we have developed sophisticated techniques of quantitation. What I do not know is what we counted. " He adds: "Our problem are neither nor Veltroni Franceschini or Bersani, and even D'Alema. The problem is that this disruption in this confusion, to which the party does not have is a compass. From what my obsessive repetition: say with whom you are well, but more what you want. "
From the outside, a political scientist as authoritative Ricolfi Luke speaks of a structural crisis of the two major political parties, consisting of just two years: "If Pdl and Pd creak, not only because their leaders are quarrelsome and irresponsible. The real reason is that as soon as born, are already two old parties. " There
one more chance for the Democratic Party to avoid following in the footsteps of the PDL, with a break from the inside? Hard to say. It brings to mind an old joke Elio Armano , former secretary of the PDS Veneto, in the months when the PD was in the works: "An idea so good, I almost better not take her card." The suspicion is that ultimately proves far more (and worse) of a bar. (2. End) Francesco Jori

If the departure of Bottacin unleashed an avalanche
New Venice - 19 October 2010
VENICE. And if the Veneto is put in motion the avalanche is intended to crush the Democratic Party, as happened to Rome instead of the PDL? The farewell party Bottacin Diego, for years one of the leaders of the main regional center, is far from an isolated event. And the names for most likely to follow, by Maurizio Fistarol Variati to Achilles, in turn, will not be meteors. In the base of the party a couple of months growing discontent, aggravated by dry statement by the Venetian secretary Rosanna Philippines has cleared the release of Bottacin: I do not share even a comma in its analysis.
But then how else to explain the data incontrovertible? A Democratic Party that has lost almost half of its electorate, which is nailed to a meager 20 percent, which in four provinces out of seven is below the regional average. Which has focused on a candidate for the regional which on paper should be the leader of the opposition and that is relegated to a small room where he wistfully group by themselves, in fact disappeared from the day after the vote. That is crumbling from within, between resignation from office and leave excellent. What policies two years ago there was a force behind leaders already left on their own, and then engaged in Arcore serenade to try to get a job as a minister. It is not just an internal malaise, of course. Has had a particularly open the question of national scope Veltroni from the document, which is also reflected in Veneto. And that can not be dismissed with a sort of confrontation between former Democrats and former Margaret, indeed: the malaise cuts through the old parties. With a minority represented by olive trees, which complain that the majority of wanting a little 'time to make the PD a social democratic party, thus dismissing the original idea of \u200b\u200bthe new political formation. So far, the split was avoided, but until when? Just slide a couple of steps in the so-called document in their forties, those defined as 'young Turks' means the party is currently in a state of "rickets organizational uncertainty of identity politics and ungovernable", and there are "Leaders who talk more and more like Hollywood stars on a promotional tour only able to repeat what love Italy, its artistic beauty and its haunting landscapes."
The National Assembly of the beginning of October marked a truce, not peace. Because, as he said on that occasion Dario Franceschini, when we meet together is praising the unity and the day after you start to quarrel and divide. But what is happening in Veneto can not be dismissed with a simple argument: there is a back declines in support of more than six points in just two years, leaving something on the ground that more than 350 thousand votes, passing by 810mila to 450 thousand. With a single management and now a pure facade, which gave the first blow (not the last) the resignation of Andrea Causin the deputy regional secretary. After Calabria, Veneto is the area that presented the worst result in the last election, thereby aggravating a chronic state of weakness that you can not just settle with the "Please sit down" for those who leave. And that certainly is not solved merely changing this or that director, secretary Included is the party to be in need of a radical cure.
