Towards the North will not be a PD

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.

Democratic Movement Veneto: The program begins

THE GROWING PD, ITALY FOR CHANGING POLITICAL MANIFESTO
-PLANNING FOR THE REVIVAL OF PD

The PD was created to change Italy for the better. The idea that courageous reforms can make the country more equal, freer, more dynamic. For this it has attracted the attention of many voters. She was able to reorganize its political field and to oblige the enemy camp to get in motion.
The Italians in 2008 have once again entrusted to Berlusconi.
Now his failure is obvious: no one can govern a country with a story, but making the necessary choices, lining up the priorities, the things that are preparing for the future. With a duty of truth in front of the country not to hide the truth in describing the objectives and necessary sacrifices for the common good, to improve the lives of Italians. Knowing join more than divide the country.
The parable of Berlusconi, with his claim and charismatic populist, almost over. Leave a legacy devastated: the Italians are poorer and more unequal, the country more divided and partisan, public ethics was despised, the competitive spirit of business was depressed, the institutions have been strained by continuing conflict, democracy weakened by the limitation of freedom of information.
The PD is responsible for knowing how to collect this heritage and to offer disaster Italians with the ideas and words that are used to heal these wounds. For this reason we were born: to be ready for new, difficult phase of democratic life that would open with the inevitable decline of the leader Berlusconi.

's initiative Democratic Movement was born for this, to help address an issue that can not be hidden if you love to PD, because of the failure of the government, the expulsion of many voters Berlusconi's siren, the PD can not be considered as a possible alternative? We think the main reason is one: to be a reformist party must have as a credible figure that characterizes the change and not that of conservation. Keep what is good of course, but the answers to innovate in the face of so many new problems which remain unresolved. Must be able to propose a project for the country to accompany him in the territories of the future. Have abandoned this tension on folding reformist responses and more traditional organizational models has made it less competitive PD. We want to help make the PD to take over the innovative drive that had convinced millions of Italians to affidarvisi with confidence. It 'the time to do so.

A fortiori it must be done in the Veneto. Here, too, soon will be the budget of a failure. The first half of Zaia was consummated between empty slogans content, anthems and flags. Growing internal strife in the league which have paralyzed the administrative action, in addition to disagreements between the parties of the majority. The bad business is spreading throughout the criminal behavior or questionable impartiality and good administration. The great opportunity of federalism has been reduced to an unequal exchange with Rome: cuts equal for all (regardless of the merits) in exchange for more local taxes.
Veneto deserves another. You can not leave alone a large production platform and innovative grappling with momentous changes. There are obvious negative consequences on employment, on enterprise births, for self-employment, for applied research, for social cohesion, all resources that have made great Veneto.
The League can not do it because the proposed model is wrong: the idea of \u200b\u200blocalism fearful, self-sufficient and besieged that ends in a defensive way to Italy and the rest of the world. But the Venetians were great because they have never been afraid to have open eyes to the world, to learn to do new things, to build relationships.
The PD is called upon to interpret and represent this idea of \u200b\u200bthe Veneto. A Veneto who is not afraid of new challenges, and want to deal with building the future on three pillars, which has transformed from a depressed area locomotive Europe: work good, the land as a resource, social cohesion to make it easier to live.
The quality of the work, all work, work that have different names but all are crucial resources: workers, engineers, entrepreneurs, self-employed professionals, managers are in the same way the human capital upon which to build the future of the Veneto.
Together with those who do research, send you know, run a public machine. It is time contrasts: Time for a common commitment to creating wealth, sharing equitably in the fruits.
Quality of work today means investing in younger generations, the quality of education and research, on technical quality, lifelong education.
Have a regional system of flexicurity, offering more flexibility with the security when there is no work.
Helping more young people to be entrepreneurs themselves, to help companies that incur research and innovation. Means helping the Ateneo Veneto in the project of integration, to achieve critical mass in existing Science Parks.
The territory that is repaired and reconstructed, around major technology networks and management. The energy and potential of the Venetian platform of renewable, waste and the cycle of reuse, logistics, broadband, the transport system in where hundreds of thousands of people suffer daily and Venetian with which firms lose competitiveness recovered inside the plant. Delays are no longer acceptable. Before the Veneto, but to be first necessary to resolve these nodes. An area that knows how to look at its environmental assets as a great and monumental legacy which devote the necessary protection and maintenance, but also as a great economic and cultural resource for the future, that no competitor can "copy".
Finally the new conditions of social life, with the redefinition of a welfare community character, building new places of participation and inclusion of citizens. The poor are also rich in Veneto, the marginalization and the loneliness can be combated with the spirit of solidarity, who lives for the actions of institutions and individuals free association, which in technical terms is called "social capital", which is part of the deep roots of the Venetian community. We can represent a
Veneto who wants to win the challenge of modernity as opposed to a conservative Veneto, who lives a thousand fears and inevitably end up suffering the greatest things of itself.
This is the challenge for the PD. A PD that is not afraid of confrontation.
If done on the big things and serious concern that the welfare of citizens and their future, the comparison does not frighten the voters.
We are the Democratic Party: a party that is called so because he thinks that the democratic processes and participatory approaches are a better place than the one offered by solitary or outdated leadership models centralist.
The PD will fulfill its mission if it can get out of too small settlement which is now locked up: the land which we are too weak in the North, social, because it can not do a baseline focused on public employees and retirees .
We think that this capacity expansion of the PD can be grown successfully. What is the prerequisite to be a reference point for social and political alliances necessary to propose to the government. Should be sought after and offer more courage.
