April 25: Liberation Day

April 25 is an all-Italian party, but even if we Scotland vog liam remember because it is a source of great pride for our people. If we have an Italy free, we owe it especially to the Italian resistance. It is therefore our duty to devote to them this day.
Together with the Italian partisans, we remember the commitment taken by the allied forces to liberate Italy from Nazi-Fascism.

I also take this opportunity to remember a great Italian intellectual, Antonio Gramsci. April 27 is the anniversary of the death of this figure of international prominence, died in 1937 after many years of captivity.

Difference Between Flea Bites And Scabies

A week after the vote ... The Italian anomaly

A week after the vote, we assess the situation, considering and interpreting the main factors identified by the outcome of the polls.

1) The clear victory of the People of Freedom party, namely the National Alliance + Forza Italy, the latest marketing operation of Silvio Berlusconi, leader of this cartel election.
The party with the League Nord di Umberto Bossi ha ottenuto oltre 17 milioni di voti alla Camera. Circa 3 milioni e mezzo in più dell'alleanza Pd e IdV, che sosteneva Veltroni. Una interpretazione di questo risultato, che condividiamo pienamente, è quella fornita da Ezio Mauro, nel suo editoriale pubblicato su Repubblica il 16 Aprile. Egli scrive: Cos'è questa capacità (di Berlusconi) di mordere nel profondo del Paese, e di tenerlo in pugno? In un'Italia che non ha mai nemmeno rivelato a se stessa la sua anima di destra, ombreggiandola sotto l'ambigua complessità democristiana, il Cavaliere ha creato un senso comune ribelle e d'ordine, rivoluzionario e conservatore, di rottura esterna e di garanzia interna, che lui muove e agita depending on the phases and conveniences, in total freedom, why should not answer a real public opinion in the party (which has never had a congress in 1994) and in the country, just adherence, applause, a vibration of consent , as happens when the policy is celebrated event, citizens become spectators and the leaders are transformed into modern idols, to use the definition of Bauman. Idols cut to size of the new application that no longer believes in effective forms of collective action, idols who did not show the way, but offer themselves as examples. " Here lies the basis of Berlusconi's resurgent populism, a populism of modernity, which exceeds the bad government of the five year test right at the Palazzo Chigi, advanced age, the repetitive wear and the work of language, the gigantism of the promises and the private obsessions turned into priorities of the Republic, as the perennial showdown with the judiciary.
why populism can be coherent framework to fears that the league is an entrepreneur in the North, assuring the delegation to the charismatic leader the minute displacement of the country and its people for fear that he can not dominate. Thus, Italy's vote seems more looking for reassurance that change.



2) The triumph of the Northern League, an unexpected event.
This phenomenon has its own reason for existence if one considers what is the nature of the party, which lost its characteristic features of the party of protest and a rupture has taken the form of what can be termed as regional party. A regional party as Angelo Panebianco wrote in the Corriere della Sera on April 17, is a party that escapes the classical label left / right: imposing itself as the voice of a certain territorial area, which aspires to represent in a monopoly, is a inter-party and community. It 's a party-community. For such a political group, have a role in the national government is important but only if it makes it more effective its action in favor of the local community represented. Its real strength lies in the control of local governments and a presence throughout the country. As noted by Andrea Romano (La Stampa), it is not clear whether the Northern League does not take into account the capacity that Umberto Bossi has had over the years to grow a local ruling class, youth directors, often clever, and capable of keep in tune with the demands of their citizens [...]. a regional party like the Northern League lives and thrives under a relationship 'contract', exchange, concretissimi on issues that directly affect their lives and their interests, with their representatives. To give strength to his action, to explain its roots and its successes, there are two circumstances. First, the fact that a regional party need not worry, unlike the large national parties, the 'compatibility' (only if it does not worry about damaging the territories represented) and national interests [...] Secondly, the fact that communitarianism land that inspires it allows him to move "as if" the people represented were internally homogeneous. For the inter-Community, "if you earn 'the land, win-win all its inhabitants.



3) The disappearance of a representation of the social and communities in the Italian Parliament.
The fact that the Rainbow Left and the Socialist Party have met with approval so low that they barely exceed the minimum threshold of 4% in the House and the more 's 8% in the Senate can be interpreted either as the outcome of a game vetoes, attacks, criticisms and reservations, which has paralyzed and drown dissent in the Prodi government, and also because the militants and supporters did not believe that the hack of the list is really the beginnings of a new-party movement, but a gimmick purely electoral Ezio Mauro writes in the article cited. But it can also be attributed to the inability of the radical left, da 12 anni a questa parte, di comprendere i mutamenti che si stavano producendo nel paese, di rompere incrostazioni e tabù, restia a politiche animate di coraggio e fantasia e timorosa di rompere le vecchie solidarietà frontiste, secondo Ernesto Galli Della Loggia (Corriere della Sera - 16 Aprile 2008) facendo trasferire, in tal modo, a destra i voti dei cittadini a cui questa forza storicamente si rivolge. Tale fenomeno non è da considerare del tutto negativo, se si tiene presente che nella prossima legislatura ciò produrrà come primario effetto una consistente semplificazione dei gruppi parlamentari. Inoltre, si spera che, in questo periodo di forzato esilio, tali forze intraprendano una fase di dialogo con le forze moderate e riformiste del Democratic Party. Otherwise they are bound to lose.



4) The polls have not declared the victory of the Democratic Party.
The election campaign conducted in an exemplary manner by Walter Veltroni, calmly and seriously worthy of a democratic leader, reformist and in line with what is happening in the rest of Europe, was not enough to gather the consensus of most Italians. However, we believe that the PD has been able to and will continue to prove to be a party that wants to distance himself from the stereotype of Italian politics. His style was particularly popular abroad (many prominent European newspapers like the Financial Times, Le Monde, El Mundo, tanto per citare alcuni esempi, hanno invitato gli italiani a votare PD) e ha contribuito a dare dell'Italia un'immagine diversa…almeno fino all'arrivo dei risultati elettorali.
A questo punto occorrerebbe analizzare cosa non abbia funzionato.



· Secondo Ezio Mauro molti italiani non hanno saputo comprendere la portata innovativa della scelta del PD di correre da soli, una scelta che ha avuto come importante conseguenza la semplificazione del quadro politico e parlamentare.



· La novità del PD di fronte ai gravi problemi della parte più debole del Paese è stata percepita da alcuni come "politicista". E dunque per essi è was easier to put those symbols on the cross from which they felt reassured, rather than risk putting a cross on the symbol that represented the new.



• The PD failed to intercept the center of the electoral vote, despite strong and influential component within the Catholic party, and this was linked, in part, by the inclusion of candidates to radical 'internal lists of PD. But it is not even managed to intercept the votes of the electorate of the radical left, which probably was not fully aware of the choice to run alone and the benefits of introducing a reformed system.



· Ha pesato, inoltre, l’opinione comune sul governo Prodi, sia per quanto riguarda l’aspetto tasse (aumentate per far fronte ai disastri provocati dalla “creatività” del ministro Tremonti…ma i più non l’hanno compreso), sia per la litigiosità della coalizione su qualsiasi tema.



· Il PD è partito svantaggiato, da un certo punto di vista. E’ stato fondato da soli pochi mesi, le elezioni sono giunte nel bel mezzo della sua fase costituente e non ha avuto modo di ben radicarsi nel territorio.


Il risultato elettorale non mette minimamente in discussione la leadership di Veltroni sancita dal 3.5 million Italians vote in the primaries of 14 October. To him the difficult task of leading the opposition to fight for the implementation of institutional reforms that Italy has a great need to support the reformist challenge even from the opposition benches, to protect the weaker sections of the instances that have no representation in parliament. If this can be carried out in the best way, with reliability and strength, and if the PD will be able to take root in the territory, and we have no doubt that this will happen at the next elections we will far exceed 33% and become the first force the reformist government in the history of Italy.

Best Under 400 Camcorder



in the Overseas, where the traditional right and 'very strong, there' was a great achievement of PD. And even 'the first party in the House with 32.7% before the PDL 31%. It keeps all the seats of the past elections in which the CDL to another, by an act of presumption, we introduce 'uniform. A result like that and 'depended largely on the activities of the democratic circles and territorial on-line, born spontaneously after the Constituent Assembly last October, have promoted a great campaign full of enthusiasm. This result, and 'should be remembered, depends much by the fact that voters abroad are not intortati every single day from the media power of Berlusconi. In Italy we have lost the election. The result of 33% and 'good as an affirmation of the party. However, it can be a force for reform that is a candidate to govern the country. And that 'what matters most. Weighs heavily the distance of the other coalition: more than 9 percentage points! And what I mean. And our 'politically anomalous in a country where up to tangentopoli DC has ruled for 40 years continuously. Subsequently, the left has won twice thanks to a two-party system and a former Democrat, Romano Prodi. So in a country historically anti-left majority in the matches between the left parties have always lost, however, between the coalitions there 'was an alternative. I would note that in all two-party system in the world in the last 30 years is not 'never seen a gap of more than 5 points between the sides. In addition to the left we have already taken all possible, while at the center we have not even drained a consensus. And the votes are votes UDC frozen ready if necessary for the PDL. We knew we could pay a price for change. but nobody thought it was so 'high. E 'politically risky to give back to a victory so Berlusconi' net. The entity is that all observers were talking, even to the right of a Senate shaky. With 42 senators, with this law! But we're kidding? A majority so 'wide there' was never in the history of the Republic. So 'it also jeopardizes the future action of PD. First the role that the party will have on the reforms, because we risk being mere spectators. Berlusconi Well we know it. Dropped and the Bicameral and 'the author of porcellum. And which has the already denied a room. With the league so 'strong semi-presidentialism him to forget. And I also believe that this is not easy to change the electoral law that fits perfectly in the center-right. When should lose draw win and when it should do 'coat! Then, even if it transpires, this defeat has put Veltroni's leadership and credibility of the Democratic Party as a future force of government. It 's not even been a question of lack of time. And in any case not 'decisive to explain what' s happened. Berlusconi won in '94 with a very short time. Okay the Prodi government has weighed, but what about the Berlusconi government 2001-2006. It was very badly received in the same way. I think the policy of Veltroni was right. The results showed that the PD there 'was a lack of credibility. If the message is right but does not reach the voters, maybe the mistake was in carrying the message? I think not. Veltroni, as I wrote, it remains one of the most capable leader of the Italian political history and is' an exceptional comunicatore. L’errore a mio avviso e’ stato il target, il segmento elettorale a cui parlare. Gli argomenti ottimi e credibili di Veltroni, veicolati con un linguaggio immaginifico dal grande senso civico, hanno scaldato veramente i cuori della gente. Ma solo di un 1/3 degli italiani e sono stati ignorati dal resto. L'errore e' stato considerare la maggioranza degli italiani di centro come dei moderati che prediligono i toni pacati e sereni. Le vicende politiche lo dicono almeno da 15 anni. Infatti Berlusconi si professa moderato ma nelle azioni e nel linguaggio che usa non lo e' affatto. E' un populista. Ai "cosiddetti" moderati italiani evidentemente piace anche veder strappare i programmi, attaccare le istituzioni, parlare di successi con le donne, evade the rules. The average Italian and 'a smart, and is' full of the "amoral familism" (I refer you to wikipedia) more typical of the companies' southern Italy not only individualistic. Arrival to say that Berlusconi largely makes us', because this thing did happen on the fly and we still do not. In Italy, if not substance, and 'a normal country politically and' moderate because the class is not 'that. This' was a mistake in my opinion. Certainly not that I really want to act like Berlusconi Veltroni, but 'that resets the necessary political action bearing in mind this scenario and that this segment electoral dialogues with at least marginally. Otherwise the votes to get us forget them. As far as I'm concerned I will not give and I will work immediately. Because I believed and believe in it, otherwise I would not be so 'critical and detailed. However, the 2013 seems far away.

The argument is simply the opinion of a militant and does not reflect the line of the Democratic Party but simply uses the political forum.

Used Bridal Lengha, Toronto

you can 'do and we're doing

closed the polls look abroad to Italy and the last 48 hours of campaigning. I would like to clarify one point: the election manifesto of the Democratic Party and its leader Walter Veltroni differs markedly from that of the chief exponent of deployment against us, that for reasons of typographical space and time I'll call "against the main."
I Partiti :
Il Partito Democratico (PD) nasce dall’unione dei DS e della Margherita più esponenti della società civile molti dei quali alla prima esperienza politica. Il processo di costituzione e’ durato anni culminando con le elezioni primarie del 14 ottobre 2007, dove 3 milioni e mezzo di elettori italiani hanno scelto Veltroni tra diversi candidati. Nel febbraio 2008 dopo mesi di discussioni i membri dell’assemblea costituente hanno approvato lo statuto, il manifesto dei valori e il codice etico del nuovo Partito.
Il Popolo della Libertà (PdL) e’ al contrario un cartello elettorale tra Alleanza Nazionale, Forza Italia e a myriad of micro-parties, including that of Ms. Mussolini, the new Round of the Christian Democrats, the Liberal Dini plus some questionable characters, first and Ciarrapico De Gregorio. The process of training and 'lasted the time of elections, but a night without an imposition of force in Italy on former allies. Fini Casini bowed his head and decided to leave, in fact moving in the right axis of the new pseudo-party. I remember that the primary against only two months earlier had called the House of Freedoms ectoplasm, and Fini replied that such a project could not be imposed from the running board of a Mercedes without any democratic debate. But anyhow '...
Coalitions :
The PD has had the courage to change the political landscape, although Forza Italy has agreed to amend the current electoral law. The novelty lies in the heart of the choice to go free, and without the radical left and national level for the umpteenth time and you 'proved unable to govern a modern country which should be Italy. It takes courage to leave the road for 8-9% of the vote just six weeks before the elections, but the great excitement that is accompanying Veltroni seems to pay off this choice. The only electoral alliance of PD and 'with Italy of Values \u200b\u200bin the now and provides prossimo parlamento un solo gruppo parlamentare, un solo programma e la sola leadership di Walter Veltroni. Di Pietro ha fama di essere persona coerente ed onesta.
Dall’altra parte oltre al già ricordato artifizio elettorale del PdL c’e’ una vera e propria alleanza con la Lega Nord (solo al nord) e con il Movimento per le Autonomie del siciliano Lombardo una sorta di lega sud (solo al sud). Entrambi saranno determinanti nelle rispettive regioni e quindi in parlamento. Come faranno a governare insieme due schieramenti che si battono e difendono interessi particolari opposti? Non credo che i suddisti vogliano la secessione territoriale, ne’ quella fiscale proclamata da Maroni e company, ne’ l’essere considerati alla same way as illegal immigrants or, it 'much less the catastrophic eruption of Mount Etna. And perhaps he wants Fini excerpt of the tricolor, or you rifles imbraccino against Roman scoundrels? But anyhow '...
leaders and programs :
Veltroni has 52 years,' a politician of experience that looks to the future with optimism and energy of a more modern and just Italy. E 'was Vice President and Minister of Culture in Prodi's first government and has a large bipartisan recognition as mayor of Rome. The capital had not seen such an economic and cultural development since the days of Ernesto Nathan. E 'considered All of the mayor, for the ability to combine political and personal interest divergent positions emphasizing always the best summary. He ran for the first time to lead the country thanks to this experience and the investiture of the popular primary. E 'convinced that the crisis will depend also on economic and social policy that has failed shouted deal with real problems. It 'time to put an end to the divisions and hatreds. E 'need to rediscover the unity of' national pride in being the country to overcome the real differences between North and South, between rich (few) and poor (many) and the anachronistic propaganda and between municipalities. In his program targets law on economic growth without which can be re-distributed or 'social equity. Boosting the economy by lowering taxes, encourage consumption, increasing the purchasing power of workers and promoting further liberalization in areas of its market monopoly. Reduce debt by cutting spending in a primary point of GDP per year. And then the fight against insecurity, tax evasion and pockets of waste produced by inefficient public policies or collusion by local mafia. In line with the economic policies of the outgoing government. The main adverse
71. It 'a politician and businessman of experience but' tired. After losing two times, is a candidate for the fifth to the Presidency of the Council. Done, I think, unique in the history of democracies is possible for a character and 'the father-master of his own party. Political alignment in which there was never any domestic opposition to its current 'no contradiction. As a businessman and is' separate and largely during the first experience in politics. Often self-interest prevailed over the common and respect for institutions. He had a chance to govern Italy for 7 years, including the last 5 consecutive with a huge majority, but this does not turn in his favor. I do not believe to be part of saying that only a handful of right-wing Italians also remember those years in a positive manner for the interest generale del Paese. Non sono stati anni di liberalizzazioni o di crescita economica che sono i capisaldi di tutte le politiche della destra nel resto d'Europa. Ma piuttosto di crescita della spesa pubblica e azzeramento dell’avanzo primario, cosa che ha fatto schizzare di nuovo il debito pubblico dopo il freno imposto dal precedente governo di centro-sinistra. E ricordo che l’11 settembre ha condizionato anche l’economia di Francia, Spagna e Germania che in quella stessa legislatura sono cresciute più del doppio dell’Italia. Piuttosto si ricordano le leggi ad personam, salva-previti e cirami su tutte. La guerra in Iraq e il servilismo verso Bush. E la delegittimazione delle istituzioni, magistratura e Presidenza delle Repubblica. Per non parlare horns made during a summit between heads of state, the kapo offense 'made to a German parliamentary €, prescribed processes, decriminalization of false accounting and the many amnesties and backed justifying tax evasion. The icing on the cake "bullshit" of the electoral law, with the majority of strokes and the sole purpose of not fully overcome the opponent. Care if the ungovernability then affects mainly on citizens.
Conclusions:
abroad the difference between the two offers election seems so 'obvious. The future vision for the common good of the country, embodied also by way of being and the personality of the two leaders, and 'dichotomous. In these circumstances Veltroni is credible and inspires confidence. I wonder if 'no fault of their own community prestigious newspapers as The Economist, the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal, describing the possible return of the principal against a mixture of anxiety and sarcasm, if not understood by his friends in Scotland when discussing the possibility 'that 40% of my fellow citizens votes for the fifth time a character so' chatted.
The voters of the center-left would say that the victory in the House and 'at hand. We have taken in recent days and we sorpassarli.
Agli elettori simpatizzanti ma ancora scettici vorrei dire che se il Partito Democratico ha prodotto un processo innovativo della classe politica molto c’e’ ancora da fare. Per non frenare questa spinta unica, rara e per questo rischiosa e’ necessario che la proposta elettorale venga capita e premiata da una netta affermazione.
Agli elettori che in passato hanno mal digerito Berlusconi, votandolo pur di non scegliere il centro-sinistra, vorrei dire che finalmente il PD incarna una forza riformista, credibile e di governo. Guidata da un leader tra i più capaci nella storia politica italiana, Walter Veltroni.
