I want to bring my greetings at the opening of the Paths of political education, through the testimony of my participation in the political training school in Milan. What that experience has meant to me?
For me it was a missing piece in my political career, a route that also looks back now twenty years of experience, now as a militant in a party (DC), now an adviser to minority, now as deputy mayor, now as merely a sympathizer.
Yet despite this long and rich experience, I am proud of, something was missing.
Things have changed, my eyes to politics has changed because I found a reasonable way to deal with nodes of politics, put aside mistrust and finding a way to not stop in front of the limits and the evils of politics.
I am convinced that one can know all the techniques of politics, a good speaker, be prepared in their subject, to have consensus, but if missing a piece, the policy ends up being something that does not fit exactly with his life, even if takes up most of the time, ends up being one of the many technicalities.
So during the trip to Milan with Mirko and Aurelio have lined up a bit 'of ideas that gradually took concrete: a network for friends involved in politics in Emilia Romagna and a school policy that took the moves experience in Milan.
So he saw the light in the summer of 2007 Emilia Romagna Together, a formula that mimics the experience on a regional network of Italy.
But today we see the light of school policy, more specifically Paths of political education, a training school that will touch touring various provinces of Emilia Romagna reality. Since
must honor the substance, then we say thanks to Mirko De Carli with its freshness, its dynamism and its capacity has been able to give shape to the ideas developed during the trip to Milan in fact.
To center well and understand what I mean by the word change I quote a phrase from Benedict XVI's speech is of Wisdom: "Man, just because of the greatness of his knowledge and power, surrenders before the question of truth. And that means at the same time that reason, in the end, turn before the pressure of interest and the attractiveness of utility is forced to recognize it as the ultimate criterion. "
Well, for me the school was like a reawakening to the truth, an incentive not to let the danger of which he spoke about the Pope being realized.
E 'an incentive not to resign that politics is simply a place of intrigues, a passe-par-tout to enter the business world, an instrument bent turbid interest, a shortcut to assert themselves.
We're not foolish enough not to see that unfortunately there's also this and neither are we so presumptuous as to call us out of this danger. However have the task of living with this tension to the political truth together a company of friends who constantly looks at you with frank to tell you where when you're wrong when you're thinking, and understood, that these things should work only and exactly how they are in your head.
This is why we need a continuous and constant training, an educational note that keep us always live the truth.
This new look opens unexpected horizons and makes you live politics in a way that is not the same as before, you find yourself with more friends, you're not alone in making a decision, you have comfort in difficult times, you make yourself useful for other through your work and take the other utilities that are (a document, an analysis, a court, a leaflet).
This unfortunately we can not in all cases, but must be sought in a method, network and Italy is just the method of incorporation, in other words, the natural place of this method.
conclude here by wishing success to this school, in the sense that it can allow many people involved in politics that there is to experience what he has always wanted.
E 'in the name of this hope that I greet and thank his heart Mirko, Gianni, Luca, Paolo and Lorenzo to be here to start this adventure.
