REPORT OF OPENING OF PROVINCIAL CONGRESS OF ECOLOGY FREEDOM LEFT ' 10 ottobre 2010
Care Compagne, cari Compagni con questa giornata diamo concretezza al lavoro, agli sforzi, ai sogni di ognuno di noi.
Noi, che da alcuni anni stiamo coltivando l’idea di vedere nascere un nuovo Partito della Sinistra.
Una esigenza che non vuole e non può colmare il nostro personale disagio di “orfani“ della rappresentanza politica, ma che nasce dal vuoto di democrazia che si percepisce nel Paese.
Il nostro presente è cupo, scosso da venti reactionaries, with a strong authoritarian government with the weak, especially intent to protect the interests of the head-master. A fact of this scandal, stories of corruption, mysterious plots, destabilizing the State and the mafia with the appearance of P3 which is a genetic variant of the "virus" subversive of Licio Gelli.
In this scenario, dramatic in itself already, we must add the economic crisis. A global crisis, which do not yet know the full consequences. A crisis that accentuates the inequalities, where the wealth is in hands of few powerful at the expense of billions of human beings, a crisis that puts in direct competition with workers in various parts of the world. With the result that workers in the so-called third world, continue to be treated as a commodity, deprived of all rights, and workers in industrialized countries that, to remain on the market, those rights acquired through years of struggle, sometimes painful, if they see clear .
is the case of Pomigliano d'Arco. With that sad page in Italy, it was officially the final attack on workers' rights. It opened a crack, undervalued by some unions and even by some leading members of the center-left. Only FIOM, though left alone, left to defend not only the rights and dignity of workers (all workers, not just those of Pomigliano) but also to defend the "constitutional".
Pomigliano With the war began among the poor. Someone has read the letter of the Polish metalworkers written June 13, and sent to colleagues on the eve of the referendum Pomigliano. It read: "The FIAT play very dirty with the workers. When the production moved here in Poland we were told that if we worked hard and exceeded all the limits of production, we kept our jobs and would have created others. Tychy And we did it ... Now they are asking the Italian workers to accept worse conditions as they do each time. Who works for them, they do not understand that if agree to work as slaves someone else is willing to do it for them. Take for granted the broken backs of our Italian colleagues, just as they did with our .... "
In that letter, but there is a seed of hope because it ends this way:" It 's clear, however, that this can not last long. We can not continue to contend among us jobs. We must unite and fight for our interests internationally. "
This crisis has a name: it is called FREE. Berlusconi in Italy is its main representative, but not the only one. I put all those on the list that under the assumed name of "reform" have supported the non-adjustment and neoliberal globalization favored the expansion of which continues to generate more and more apparent inequalities in the world and in our country.
In a normal country, ahead of crisis of this magnitude, one would expect from the government seriousness, sobriety, responsibility, however, besides the economic crisis, we are plunged into another and, in some respects, the worst crises: social, cultural, moral, from which it will be very difficult to get back on top.
People are confused, afraid, demotivated, media bombardment da notizie dai contenuti talvolta tendenti a rinfocolare odio e paure, altre volte a descrivere scenari idilliaci, come se vivessimo nel migliore dei mondi. Aumentando così l’egoismo e sgretolando uno dei migliori pregi del nostro Paese che è quello della solidarietà, maturato in secoli di Storia.
In una fase in cui ciò che più conta è l’interesse di pochi, anche l’ambiente viene penalizzato. La logica che tutto ha un prezzo, ha portato a considerare merce ogni cosa, le persone come ho detto prima, ma anche i Beni Comuni, e il tentativo di privatizzare l’acqua ne è un esempio. Con questo criterio si monetizzano interi territori i quali vengono sacrificati alle speculazioni. Power plants, regasification plants, incinerators, urban sprawl, designed without the slightest regard for public health, often behind the shield of immoral employment blackmail, scarring the landscape forever. Not to mention the disaster that will cause nuclear power and its radioactive waste, even in our territory.
To understand the crisis should be looking through a wide angle. Seeing things from too close, we focus a reality even if limited in focus. Broadening the perspective 360 \u200b\u200bdegrees allows us to understand the Italian situation is very serious, with people oppressed by the layoffs, the loss of the rights, dignity and hope, with the South of Italy that does not make it.
If we try to widen the horizon, however, we find that in the world there are millions of people who work a full day to less than a dollar, which work without any right, slaves to a system that enriches a small minority of people.
Looking from above, we realize that millions of people lack access to water, medicine, education, while often living in areas rich, literally robbed of their precious treasures such as gold, diamonds, oil, gas, and ravaged by endless wars. One would wonder who are these disinherited "i real rogue states. "
Gramsci never tired of repeating that "no economic policy in Italy is valid, no renewal is possible if still an outstanding issue of the South." Berlinguer's speech later expanded to the global dimension and said "no policy is valid if the West does not contain within itself the solution to the problems of the third world." How much wisdom from this great policy that exposes how little has been heard those words.
We have globalized the most vulgar liberalism, we tried to export our democracy, we should globalize rights, extending them to world.
We are living our Congress in the midst of a crisis of government violence. The show we see a number of months is the result of an alliance based on the interests and values. Allied with characteristics very different from each other, but with a boss / owner can keep them good. Then the mechanism jams. Suddenly (it seems), the President of the Chamber does not intend to submit to the commands of the Knight so far carried out blindly.
Fini now hides his hand. The hand with which he has entered into alliances and pacts for 15 years contributing to the decline of the country, responsible for him, his party and other parties that now looking for a new virginity repositioning itself in the middle. Fini now hides the hand that pressed the buttons of the trading desk of the G8 in Genoa. We want to or can we forget?
I do not think that'll soon know the true background of mutiny Fini, see what happens in the coming weeks, but the show of confidence in parliamentary government does not inspire optimism. We know only that it is a crisis. A serious political crisis as the country is adrift. Once again the right will not care who rules the country and its citizens, many of whom have voted with conviction, thanks to an incessant propaganda that has changed the culture in Italy. Years and years of hammering media who have formed a new school of thought: The Berlusconi. The Berlusconi is now clear, is an integral part of Italian society, seen as a status by the Right, it was subtly implied in the other parties, in the lives of ordinary people, and it is now difficult to eradicate because it is an integral part of everyday life.
In this scenario, there is the Congress.
What a wonderful responsibility we have.
We want to be a party capable of reversing the route, which is able to grasp the question of legality, democracy and freedom that is in the country.
We want to give rights to workers rights and the dignity essential.
We want to bring Italy to think in terms of environmental sensitivity. Protecting the land and common property. We want a party that rejects war, in order to remove the fears of the different culture of exclusion, a party where a man, a woman, an African, an Asian, an Arab, a European, a ROM, homosexuality, are first of all human beings.
The crisis of governance in operation in some way will affect our Congress. The possible early election will change our path.
beat Berlusconi is an imperative. But our Congress is not an ordinary Congress. It is a Constituent Congress, and it is essential that the Congress should be laid our guidelines, the pillars that will support the policy of the Left in the coming years.
Solid Foundation therefore, to rest all the expectations of the people of the Left.
a new party and not a new party, has said several times.
The point is to give strength to the idea, not so much with the play of words, but concretely, gaining credibility and trust against that part of citizens who would be, but when we look with suspicion because he does not trust has been betrayed too many times.
It is not easy to make a new party, there are still wavering, fear, and attempts to impose one old, stale politicistiche practices, which are now out of the story, and what is worse, are out of life and interest of the people.
The new Party of the Left that I must be open, available to the comparison must be crystal clear in all phases of his political activity.
In view of the elections and administrative ones, for example, I consider to be avoided by choosing our candidates in an oligarchy, even if the law permits, but it is essential to identify them with the greatest participation.
Locally I think we should practice, the application of the general meeting of members for major policy decisions such as choice of alliances, the candidates, the major economic, environmental, social, and also for the choice of leadership of the Party.
This is a great way to add value after the new part.
But still there are difficulties in accepting and practicing la PARTECIPAZIONE, questo perché molti di noi sono cresciuti nelle segreteria di Partito, ed in buona fede credono che quelli siano i luoghi migliori possibili. Quelli deputati alle decisioni importanti.
Voglio fare un esempio, prendendo a spunto la regola congressuale che stabilisce l’elezione del coordinatore provinciale non al Congresso ma delegandone il compito al futuro Comitato provinciale: Riusciremo a fare una riflessione in questo Congresso su questo punto? Un Partito nuovo, lo elegge nel momento di massima partecipazione come quello di un Congresso, esaltandone la Democrazia? O lascia la scelta ad un ristretto gruppo di persone come nella tradizione dei Partiti del ‘900?
Ma intanto le persone si allontanano dalla politica. È nostro compito invece che i luoghi della politica siano frequentati, dalle donne, dagli uomini e dai giovani soprattutto, fare in modo che parlare di politica diventi una cosa appassionante, non sporca.
Un Partito nuovo ha bisogno assoluto di persone nuove, motivate, in sintonia con la realtà che ci circonda. Ha bisogno di un linguaggio nuovo, comprensibile a tutti, soprattutto comprensibile a chi non ha mai frequentato quelle segreterie di partito.
Un Partito nuovo apre il campo alle nuove generazioni e non ha paura della partecipazione attiva. Le fabbriche di Nichi e qualunque altra forma di relazione con society should be welcomed and seen as a window on the world.
I know it's a winding trail that of participatory democracy, but I think the only feasible if you really have in mind to build something new.
Party again that I would not accept a provisional electoral consensus can not be satisfied with a niche as a Member, an advisor or assessor, but must be constantly seeking the consent of the people with the ideas it exposes . Not only that, it also puts into question in order to allow the construction of a Left widely as possible.
must find the courage To look far.
The new Party of the Left, need to focus on the cultural revolution. The errors committed so far we can not repeat them. The Left has serious faults, in recent years has not realized that the world was changing fast. The Left has sacrificed an enormous contribution to social and cultural movements of the global NO, those pacifists, one of the students, putting his own vanity identity to the pursuit of common good.
We lost a lot of time and there could not afford it.
We need to abandon old habits and practices still so widespread and disastrous policies.
We need new ideas that come only with a new generation of leadership. I think the Left will breath only when you open doors and windows to let fresh air in his chambers. Only the positive predisposition to cultural contamination, the availability of a comparison with all the people who have something to propose, only by abandoning the past, restricted membership identity, you can hope for the birth of a new left, not self. Strong in Italy, strong and representative in Europe.
I like to compare Left Ecology Freedom to a source, a source from which you might be a watercourse, until it becomes a river, the descent to the valley makes its way to form a path, and so on a bed, to finally reach the sea. In nature, the existence of a source is determined by geological and morphological conditions. Are natural conditions that determine the path, the bed and the water flow. Here I see SEL as a source. Born to a natural requirement is vital, we are human conditions to determine the location and the political and cultural life, which could help bring new life into the "sea" of the left. I would never want that other geological / human, forcing the source to take an underground route to get lost somewhere.
depends on us. We must speak out. This Congress is the watershed of thoughts and assessments so far advanced. The nascent party needs people who are enthusiastic, willing, who sincerely believe in the project of building a strong left. We have to decide.
We
an anonymous underground river, or a massive river with its passage will bring prosperity and fertility?
I will work with all forces the second case. That's why I want with all my heart and above all remember this day October 24, the day of the 1st National Congress of SEL, as an important day, a happy day.
will mean that our contribution we were able to bring about a new, credible party of the left, able to stop the decline of the reactionary right, able to defeat Berlusconi and Berlusconi able to wake the inaction of the center-left could, finally, to restore hope in our country.
is why, dear companions and dear friends, who I wish us all the good work.
