Puglia Dear friends and not ... Want to tell a story: Once upon a time a party named PD, young but old inside out. Young because newly born, to parents of long, long (maybe too long!) Experience, who before him have generated many other parties (born, raised and then dissolved in policy by the Fathers). Because even old girl had already lost almost all his ideals, did not like being around people, unlike the favored toys of the palace, as he was convinced that the future of his beloved homeland Italy you could decide to table ... Like a game of Risk or Monopoly. You must know, dear friends and Puglia, which this party fell madly in love one day to another party, as old as the Christian Democrats, whose name was UDC. UDC, however, did not want to know anything about PD (inter alia UDC fags were well on the ball). UDC was a climber, he cared only for power, and while it would be of be willing to get with everyone (even with the Devil, despite scream loudly to be the Party of God). So, as you'll see, UDC was a bit z. .... a. PD exploited and used when it agreed, while for the rest of the time, if not the breaking of cagava smear. PD however, it was stupid, he continued to run after him pleading, "Please, UDC, please: allies with me." UDC every now and then he turned back, and replied: "I am with you only if you to do everything I say." And PD, immediately obeyed the order! But UDC not already cagava more ... It was too intent on wringing a wink to a more powerful passing of them by chance.
Oh yes, dear friends, this could be the beginning of the story pathetic that the Democratic Party is writing lately. Massimo D'Alema, Pierluigi Bersani and company must have lost all the light of reason. Perhaps to be too long, the opposition has made them crazy, perhaps the inability to beat Berlusconi who drives them to madness. Well, I can not comprehend. I agree that the PD is a moderate party, made up of moderate Catholics and more ... But it must be conscious of what its underlying matrix, by God! The matrix is \u200b\u200bRight or Left? Since its foundation of the track was confused, but lately I'd say he just lost it completely. It looks like a drunk leaning on anyone just to stay upright. I have always believed that the PD would be moderate, but in the ideals underlying the Left ... So should look for alliances to its left (Italy of Values, Greens, Left and Freedom, Communist PRC), not his right! Ally with the UDC is the biggest mistake I can do, heck! The UDC is a key part of the Right, it has always been and always will be. Of course it is always better than Berlusconi's right (which is also to say that does not take much to be a little better than Knight), but on key issues is completely off course. Remember that Casini and company are favorable to impunity for politicians (perhaps because they had investigated a lot of men among their ranks, see Cuffaro on his head), to nuclear power plants, et cetera. Even if only these two are the pillars of the ideology of the Left, non-negotiable values \u200b\u200b... Not even for a (ghostly) winning alliance. This decision taken by the PD is yet another step on the failure of a pseudo-leftist politics, and people, the people will punish this choice. Just as happened here in Puglia. The UDC sets his condition: we alleamo with PD only if the candidate is not Vendola. And the PD is doing? Obey! I really like I wrote in the hypothetical-Bersani and company seem pathetic tale of love lost Casini dancer, that the PD does not care about anything. They were ready and determined to get rid of Nichi Vendola in the name of the Holy Alliance. Without any political motive, but only strategy. In fact they failed to find a good footing to challenge the government in Puglia Nichi (except the one stain on Health, which is to say the council has responded quickly zeroing. Of course, maybe it's the only aspect that should work better , and especially should choose a little more about the people you put around), and clearly told the truth or that Vendola was the obstacle to their project. They made the primaries, well, I am highly favorable to this instrument which is highly democratic and, in my opinion, should always be done (among other things brings back at least a little to feel concerned citizens in the political life of their country) ... But the point is that here in Puglia are not made by choice, but necessity. Massimino D'Alema (the mustache-dormant seeds of the picture, for instance) had already established in his brilliant mind, that to obey the diktat Casino would have to nominate Francesco Boccia (the other photo) and Nikino Vendolino, however, should have been dismissed as a mat (which also rhyme). Fortunately, Niki felt fuck like a sacrificial lamb on the altar of power, and decided to hold on and remain in place. It 'clear that if he had Vendola candidate alone would take away a nice pile of votes ... The Primary and then became the only way forward. And the people have a clear answer (as always, for that matter, when requested), and pulling a nice slap on the wrist to the political games and the Construction of Power made in the halls of palaces ... Empty and increasingly distant from the people. Nichi I really like (as I have said before on this blog, mind you: I like it, do not consider him an idol. In yet that, in my opinion, should never be any mythologizing), has charisma, is a atypical politician, out of those buildings mentioned above, among the people (as should any politician, for that matter. I almost have to wonder Vendola praise for these features, I repeat, should be discounted) ... Bearer of strong ideals and non-negotiable (the proximity to the most vulnerable, the marginalized, the "different") revolutionary say. It could be defined, risky, a Gandhi or a Martin Luther King of our times. A few days before the primaries came here to Lecce to keep a pre-election meeting, a giant room packed with people (and I can assure you many of these people were militants of the Democratic Party) ... So much that many remained in the hallway and into almost was difficult to breathe. It was the first time I heard "live" and did not disappoint expectations. It showed, first of all, his human side. The attacks in recent times by those who first supported him have hurt a lot ... Almost to make him lose the will to live, because politics is his life. A report from, say, almost love-hate, because that ruling is to be always "on the grill media" (his words), it means sometimes not even realize certain dreams that one has. He is, say, early in his political life. I believe that will be a long way, I just hope that once arrived understand even when it's time to step aside (not to do as the various D'Alema, Bersani, Veltroni). From the political point of view in Puglia Nichi Vendola is the guarantee against the clever, why Puglia is a land that more than others is tempting to speculators (and is also why, everywhere, but especially here, the alliance with Casini would be deleterious). Recently, I understood why there is so much on Puglia interest ahead of the March Regional ... Take two recent laws made by Berlusconi's government: the privatization of water and a return to nuclear power plants (in the latter case, among other things, it is not even a Bill ... But two ad hoc lines of steps in the nuclear powers inserted in the middle of a DDL that contains everything and more! no to nuclear, it was decided by popular referendum, and these determine the return the SI with a line! Crazy things! Minimum it would take another Referendum!). Puglia is strategic for these two "innovations", or rather these two beautiful "regaloni" friends of Silvietta. The Aqueduct of Puglia, to the uninitiated, is the largest in Europe. Nichi has always outsourced in recent years, prominent people of the environmentalist. Vendola is therefore a re-elected to a block quest'affarone Apulia, which they can get their hands on the usual crafty with the new law. Return to Nuclear: Guess because they're waiting to say, after the regional sites will arise where new nuclear power plants? Well, it's simple: where the Right will win, if the territory will be "certified" (according to their parameters of cock) sbam ... Here is a nice station. Certainly, in Puglia, one speaks of Ostuni (Brindisi). According to the parameters of the first Puglia is perfect, by level of seismic activity, water flow and so on. It's not all, is at stake is a third element: the ILVA in Taranto. For those who do not know Mr. Riva made a deal with Knight: Ilva help the government save (so to speak) Alitalia, and in exchange would have a place reserved for the construction of new power plants. Clear, no? You help me, I help you. One dirty hand washes the other even dirtier (among other things Vendola was the first, all these years, to go to control what came out from the chimneys of Taranto ... Ilva and obligations to comply with emission limits). Nichi, meeting here in Lecce, reiterated on the Aqueduct, of course, his opposition to privatization on the deal and nuclear (and other environmental issues), with much enthusiasm, he cried: - We on this issue we are ready to to the barricades ... Puglia has already chosen the Sun and the Wind! In our area they wanted to "make a regasification terminal, and I said in the face of Berlusconi, Prodi and a British ambassador at the time of colonialism is over ... If you must stick well in the head, once and for all ... Now off the coast of Puglia want to place the platform to extract the oil: we also want to extract the oil, yes, but our oil are young! We want to extract and exploit their potential! - Issues of Water and Nuclear (we could also say that water and fire ... Why is the Nuclear Fire, perverse and reverse) random (random manner of speaking, since the base already a nuclear power plant needs a lot of water to work) always go hand in hand. Well I know, I experienced this firsthand when I lived in Piedmont fatal union ... A Saluda (Vercelli), where the storage of radioactive waste largest in Italy (about 80% of all nuclear waste in our country) for years has spilled its liquid contaminated the surrounding soil, coming to lick (according to official sources, but it's probably got more than) the wells of another aqueduct among the largest in Europe, the Aqueduct of Monferrato. Puglia and Piedmont are two regions with many features in common (and I'm happy, despite everything, to have lived and live in both): in fact even in the beautiful region of Mercedes Bresso, there is a large influx of water, especially in the area of Vercelli, thanks to the glaciers of the neighboring Val d'Aosta ... Even in Piedmont to play an important game with respect to nuclear, since the former central Trino Vercellese would be the first to reopen in the case of a return to nuclear power. That's why we must be very careful when making alliances, especially if there are issues at stake are so important and sensitive: in Piemonte, the PD is allied with the UDC, leaving out of the coalition (at least officially) the so-called "radical left". Now I do not know the position on the nuclear issue Bresso (I think that she wielded, along with Vendola, the Decree of Berlusconi), but even more so in light of what has happened to Saluda (which shows very well how badly in Italy you know run a "harmless" Deposit, let alone a Central) I hope to be firm and decisive NO to the reopening of Three (and not do as you're doing on the issue TAV in Val di Susa, that here too ... About Trains in Italy ... I would have to tell ... Maybe in the near article). In Ontario (according to polls) the win Bresso (we hope, in fact, it will lead to an informed opinion). In Puglia (again according to polls) also Vendola triumph. And if so will have won the heart on the head. Has won the hearts of the people of the Left on the head of the vertices of the Democratic Party who wanted to nominate the anonymous and bland Francesco Boccia (already covered, among other things, the recent primary by Nichi) ... But has also won the Head of the vertices of UDC and PDL, which are destroying themselves (fortunately for us) in a civil war driven by pride and ancient resentments. Oh yes, because if everything remains so and the race for the leadership of the Region will be the victory of three Vendola is even more obvious. On the other side what happened? E 'success Adriana Poli Bortone (in Puglia has a lot of admiration, and which I have in mind to form, together with MPA Lombardo, a sort of League of the South), former minister and ex-AN, decided to candidates. The People's Party, which wants to show the strength that Berlusconi may have with respect to the deployment in which it appears, can not wait and took the ball. Now, either the PDL supports Poli Bortone (because she will never retreat, to be sure), or the game is a lost cause. Support the Poles, however, would mean a humiliation and a slap on the wrist to the Premier, as the former mayoress of Lecce is gone by the coalition, slamming the door and leaving the environment of many moods Raffaele Lease (the real commander of the People of Freedom in Puglia). We know that Silvio like to win, but we also know how he accounts for a lot more pride in playing area. So either the PDL some candid piece 90 (such Lease or the Secretary Mantovano), or with Rocco Palese (more anonymous and dull) there is no game (given the odd man out in the field). We'll see ... However, returning to the starting point, the policy of PD should definitely change course. I've said over and over again: the only way that the Left has to fly right in Italy is to return to a true coalition, Palaces and out among the people, with new faces, people worked at the Civil Society Policy (as it should be always). The model? The EU's Prodi, the former Premier made a mistake only to take on board Mastella and his men, another key part of the Right because it linked to the idea of \u200b\u200bgovernment to their own use (for those with short memories were not the so-called " communists "to sink Romano & Co, but the very fact that now a good UDEUR-change took the bandwagon). So choose good allies, the PD (the moderate) to everything there is to the left, with shared programs and not editable. Hopefully someone will understand it! BHA, hopefully good ... In the meantime greetings to all and, in view of this and the next major election, good luck! Blue Soul
PS: Someone, before leaving, D'Alema awake please! Oh, and also tell him that it is better if his boat for a while no longer neither see nor to Gallipoli in Puglia in general ... Because it is very likely that gliel'affondino!
