Democracy first: this is the "heart" of the National Assembly organized by the Fds yesterday in Bologna to discuss the upcoming elections. No coincidence that the choice of the Emilian city, once capital of the Left and now undeniable - as emphasized by Jordan Ross and Raphael K. Salinari of local Fds - Commissioner and marked by disconnection between politics and society. Appointment answered many, including directors, officers of the forces of alternative left, members of associations, movements and networks of citizens, representatives of the center (Pd, IDV, Sel). Gianluigi Pegolo in the explanatory memorandum, presented the proposals of the Federation, starting from the dramatic situation in which they are local. Cuts, Stability and federalism consistently go to make a vise, with the aim of draining the decision-making and democratic spaces of Commons. Speaking about local means the need to focus opposition to the government Berlusconi and the unification of the struggles. Participation and moral issue, public policy against the crisis, commons and anti-privatization of local public services, defense of welfare: the coordinates of the bottom of the FDS program point to a reversal of the policies of the right and characterization of the progressive Democratic administrations.
Pegolo brought to the forces of the center to reflect on the primary, because it revived an idea of \u200b\u200bcollective political and territorial roots. Marco Bersani, the forum moves to water, has highlighted the decision of Commons and depletion of local water, waste, energy, public transport are in the hands of boards of directors, no one elected, Spa and multi-utilities. Also for this reason the referendum is a great opportunity, because a victory would rekindle the spark of participation and social conflicts that cross the country.
would mean returning to rule the citizens and the territories instead of Mayors "sheriff". Franco Russo, the Association for Constitutional Democracy, explained the real reasons of Italian Federalism: the search for total autonomy of the economically strongest areas and killing all relations with the rest of the country. Why not just opposition to all institutional, but we need a real political alternative.
Silvana Cesani, Council for Social Services of the City of Lodi, and Donatella Mungo, Minister for the Budget of the City of Imola, have also stressed the centrality of the relationship between municipalities and regions. Investing in the welfare and provide effective responses to social needs also means working for the maintenance of democracy and collective ties. Maurizio Cecconi Network (Secular) and Rita Scapinelli (Fds Municipal Councillor of Goito) have raised the issue of protection of the public school as a priority for local authorities and to build truly inclusive policies. Not by chance that Lay Network launched this week in a referendum Bologna City, supported in part by the Fds, for the repeal of the funding to private schools.
The candidate of the center of Bologna Virginio Merola - with which the FDS has been discussing the programmatic priorities - has declared its interest in the debate on the initiative and fought for the centrality of the public school. Don Zappolini drew attention to the past and the need for a comprehensive idea of \u200b\u200bpolitics that finally comes out from the rooms and buildings. The real danger, otherwise, is that the crisis will destroy the welfare system and many experiences from civil society.
Massimo Rossi put the knot of the incompatibility between the FDS and most of the policies of the center, also marked the opening locally to individuals and the market. So the next alternative is to have the courage to say no and to build roads. Brusco, provincial administrator in Rovigo, spoke on health and participation of citizens in the improper payment of social welfare services, while Monica Donini, Councillor Emilia-Romagna Fds, highlighted the failure of environmental policies even in regions administered by the center.
Conclusions Cesare Salvi, speaking with the plurality of voices raised in the debate, he left the defense of the Constitution. Good Part of the proposals, in fact, refer to the contents of our Charter. E 'move from here that we must work for the unity of the left - and where there are conditions - for democratic unity. Although there will be the premier, local elections are an opportunity to give a signal and show that there is a country that does not fit and does not resign.
