against anti-politics, the politics of

against anti-politics of any sort ... I'll tell unpopular one thing I know! I will do exactly the opposite of what any good handbook of political marketing is strongly recommended to every politician who wants to serve its consent: smoothing the hair of the public, sniff the winds of popular scents and put the sails in that direction! But I will say what I really think after so many years of involvement in public administration and policy. Let's start from the center point of the question: can we be satisfied with the policy now? Certainly not! Nor I am! Yet the answer can not be generalized Vaffa .... Warning: There is nothing more that nourishes the bad policy of anti-drift. Drift. Yes shorthand: the idea that politics can change exorcise, tearing it like a bad cancer that must be eradicated by social, rather than doing the daily grind of an attempt positivo.Un attempt itself is always imperfect and therefore, like all human efforts in each field (the enterprise, research, love life ...), always subject to the limit and error and thus the criticism. But a good attempt, driven desire to build rather than destroy and what we want to do this bisogno.Per praise of politics! On the very day when many if not all, and not without reason, they weave rather than wickedness lodi.Mi the inclination has always been struck by this strange man and all the nature it is so easy to destroy, it takes little time and little effort, often in exchange for instant success ... while so much is so hard to build! It 's a mysterious thing, "makes more noise than a tree falling in a forest that grows" and, I add, in 10 minutes you can bring down a plant that employed 10 years or 10 centuries to grow! One can not take this strange contradiction of nature, we take a step forward only on these imperfect attempts, sometimes miserable, but where is the dignity of man and his desire to build a better world, yet we are passionate so little to them, always ready to highlight the negative, what's wrong, what is missing rather than what is there. We take a taste for the cry, heartless criticism, backbiting, envy, bitterness. We like that, just ... are men. [We are beings' most carnal and bestial imaginable "as Eliot said.] But we're in this boat, the boat of the human family - it's called nation, region, local - and this boat proceeds only if someone makes the effort to get the oars. We do all this hard work every day at home, at work and in politics, but instead we prefer to reproaching the estimated va.Tutto that this is true everywhere, but in politics it is more true than anywhere else. This summer I read a good book. It is titled "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama, one of the leading Democratic candidates for President of the United States. Began with an observation, apparently true also in the U.S. "do not need a poll to know that most Americans are tired of that dead zone that politics has become (...) we hear correctly that the most significant challenges of the nation continue to be ignored (...). We need a new kind of politics that can excavate and build shared understandings. " Who does not feel a motion of approval here? So how again? Obama continues: "within the experience of my country there are some ideals that continue to excite our minds, a shared set of values \u200b\u200bthat binds us together despite their differences, an unbroken thread of hope that sustains our improbable experiment in democracy ". The more likely of our experiment in democracy! But here too there are still ideals that we enjoy and values \u200b\u200bthat bind us together. And 'from this starting point should be that if you really want to get out of the dead zone of politics! From what unites, not what divides. From what we include, not exclude that! An ideal but it is all the more credible the more it is embodied in a concrete experience. And the experience is just by nature full of limitations and contradictions, full of mistakes and unjust things - "rightly" reproach, according to a righteousness which is the most inhuman of errors if you do not have a shred of sympathy, charity quell'imperfezione for the attempt that binds us together. There is another, more subtle risk should be avoided. Transforming the perfect dream! Beware of those who toil daily to break the bread of politics, preferring to spread the ideals of their gold dust so perfect that it can not be charged. And 'the old myth of the "sun of the" what in reality never rises to davvero.Lo said long ago, the then Cardinal Ratzinger of a delegation of German politicians visited it, "the irrationality of political myths are true risk of our time. The politician has to be sober and implement what is possible is not the job of the politician with the heart on fire to claim the impossible (...) can seem limited to a renunciation of moral passion (...) but the agreement itself did not ' absence of any compromise, is the real moral of political activity "is this: the true morality in politics is compromise possible. An attempt continuous, stubborn, almost always unpleasant to find the meeting point, mediation, acceptance by the majority, possibly by all (blue, red, green ...) of a "possible", or what is realistically feasible for a positive contribution to the life of tutti.Questa is the highest form of politics that I know! Not always inflames the heart, but contributes to the nourishment of real bodies and spirits. Whether to make a road, railway, or the justice reform. So today - the day of the many vaffa ... and some crow - I want to publicly praise those who insist on along the road as possible and really look - of course not always succeeding - to reach the goal. Today, increasingly, they do have in accepting the risk of exchange instead of "the public estimation" (once the President Scalfaro said a duty) to the far more humiliating "public contempt" or at least "public distrust" and this makes their human and moral stature to my even greater occhi.Sono them that with their daily rowing - stubborn and always ready to start with everyone - make the boat forward of all. In politics as in life. In front of them, right and left, below and above, I take off my hat.

Approaching "Autumn" hot politics, but when will the winter of reforms?

is approaching the hot autumn of Italian politics. Not mass social movement, but fragments of parties and political designs that float in the air, but could not find a stable configuration. Not so it's not about the country. The condition of chronic instability of the Italian political system is one of the causes of the failure to make reforms, is a factor in the decline of Italy. In the deployment of government are forming three parties: the Democratic Party, in which contend for the space's former reformist and centrist former Christian Democratic Party and the former left, the radical left to moderate Mussi, the radical left-radical Jordan-Diliberto-Pecoraro Scanio.

"All for one and one for all"

document presenting the project "Together EmiliaRomagna"

Contemporary society has at its base an individual that, in a desperate search for the attainment of its desires, try to procure for him the ultimate well-being with the least responsibilities and with the least possible risk.
an unscrupulous individualism, rationalism and the Enlightenment mold, said the experience of contemporary man seeks to achieve a total mastery over reality. In this climate of "manipulation" of reality is always more difficult to talk about relationships that arise from a sharing of ideas and projects and thus form a true societas.
"EmiliaRomagna Together" was created as open space and free in comparison, the "networking" of the different local operations with a view to creating a new "culture of doing", of "working together". In this sense emerges powerfully vocation original and the original political commitment: to serve the people to give every person the tools to achieve the common good of himself and of his community.
The association intends to raise an idea of \u200b\u200bsociety "just" in which the conditions are there for each subject, either public or private, can best express his potential, his talent. In a time of severe crisis like the present, where the gap between passive and active electorate is increasingly critical, we must rely on what is the 'soul' of our country: human capital.
Today, Italy is the heartland of the person, and also especially in its various forms aggregates (first of all, the family founded on marriage between a man and a woman pursuant to Art. 29 of the Constitution) by taking an 'action for the use and reconciliation of the various Italian social souls: that of the risk (entrepreneurs, traders , crafts ...) and security (pensioners, employees, unemployed ... ..). It should raise an agenda, based on the principle of subsidiarity, which states that a serious idea of \u200b\u200bcountry you want to build with the tools available to concretize it is necessary to prepare a list of actions to be put on the field with a view to obtaining the results listed in the program, also created a successful campaign of "sharing" with citizens of the 'undertaken realized. "
"EmiliaRomagna Together" aims to unravel our region and our country from the network of nodes that forces them to proceed slowly.
We bring out the enormous energy present in our country: the moral energy, economic and civic spirit. We believe it appropriate to start from the fundamental assumptions, such as the value of the person and the "ability of man to be free" (Quadragesimo Year - Pius XI).
institutions and family, in this sense, they should offer the younger generation of model behavior based above all on the concept of responsibility, through a serious balance of rights and duties, with the aim of ensuring inclusion and opportunity for growth.
As part of a "culture of responsibility", it is increasingly the need to reaffirm an unprecedented meritocracy, can take root through the disruption of the homologation contemporary culture, the daughter of a distorted concept of equality, with the aim to recognize and support the merit and talents, especially when they belong to people who come from families in need of help and support needed to make equal opportunities and mobile society.
"EmiliaRomagna Together" is proposed as its primary objective the enhancement of priority concepts: freedom, family, reformist, secular, accountability and meritocracy.
The critical challenge is to implement policies and practices at the various levels of responsibility (municipality, province, region, state) that can be implemented in the best way, the values \u200b\u200bespoused by our daily actions. We are not interested
utopia, we are interested in reality: why we aspire to high ideals with the knowledge that our work can not be more than a "noble compromise between the provocation and tension of the real idealist" (Cardinal Angelo Scola ) being politics, a "very human activity that deals with man as man" (Don Gnocchi).
Our desire is to deal man as it is, being aware of the instruments, always perfectible, at our disposal.
All for one and one for all: this should be our motto, our motto, we must ask ourselves to support all those forces that underlie the great political traditions which inspire our efforts (popular Catholic, liberal, social democratic, liberal and Liberal). In this sense, we intend to make proposals to rebalance the system Emilia Romagna as part of the broader scheme of Italy through full cooperation and sharing with individuals and different social forces, inspired by the great European experience (that of Sarkozy in France and that of Tony Blair in England) and homegrown (to Roberto Formigoni in Lombardy). But this is not enough: we must start from that heritage to make it our own and create a new model, Emilia Romagna and, consequently, a new model for Italy.
from our own local situations, by their common passion for politics to create a sweeping circuit of ideas and proposals that can establish itself as a "star" of all the forces of the reforms and innovations of our country. We wish to reaffirm the lost identity of our country, starting from the innate social creativity of the small villages, which has always characterized the history of Italic.
To achieve this requires "many I enjoy rich questions of today, but they are already restless with the desire to build tomorrow, free because they follow something or someone who has awakened their desire "(G. Vittadini).
