It 's a bit of time I do not write about politics, but tonight I can not do it. And 'in fact too much time on the last night of elections, be they political, administrative, European, or referendum, etc., ends the same way, at least for me, with a veil of sadness mixed with a large incazzatura. Changing the addends, or pretend to change, but the result is the same: a more or less clear defeat of the center-left politics. The sadness, I said, it is also accompanied dall'incazzatuta and tonight we saw the usual parade of executives of the largest center-left party - already now because PRC has virtually disappeared - which in turn will not admit defeat and accept that it is time to change and really to go home. Simply, we can not, you have to go home. You have to leave the party in the hands of young people, you be your hand, you have to really change! The Democratic Party so as it has failed: Veltroni failed, failed Bersani, D'Alema has failed, the leadership of the old Margaret has failed. Go home, go back to your families and your work - always that after years of party politics will still have a -.
Take for example the north. In the north, the left has lost, left at the north no longer exists. The intellectuals were forced out, young people are not even considered. How can you think that a candidate who had already lost, especially in the provinces, provincial elections last year in Milan, Penati - already excellent mayor of Sesto, for heaven's sake - could win the whole of Lombardy. What was possible to think that anyone who has not been voted on the high Milan could be voted in Brianza, in Varese, Como, Pavia, let alone in Bergamo, in Valtellina, or Brescia? Except when people are applying very important, culturally and socially speaking, as Cacciari in Venice, or Illy in Friuli, or Chiamparino in Turin, that is, except when applying real progressives, people who can consent to collect almost everywhere, except in those cases the North is lost everywhere. Zaia Formigoni triumphs and wins for the fourth consecutive time. I told the fourth time! Possible that after twenty years of government Formigoni, among other things not an enlightened government, almost a bad government, government patronage and partisan, the leaders of the center-left has not come to mind nothing better than to reapply for the losing candidate in the province of Milan? We had ten years 'time, we had five years' time? Nothing. You could start over, you could consider a real alternative, one could work to take root in the territory to return to listen to people and yet nothing. Summands change, names change, there is no longer the PDS, the Popular Party, the Olive Tree, the DS and the Margherita, there is a PD, but people are always the same and the result is always the same: two decades of defeats .
I will not be drastic but realistic! Where you win you win for the unworthiness of others not on our own. The center left to the north, especially in Veneto and Lombardy, has died. But Lombradia and not the Veneto, Tuscany and Emilia's right, I never have been, are and were the centers of work, the centers of craft work, worker and business, the centers of the great movements of the voluntary social ACLI, etc.. Well, the people vote in these centers to the right and the left with these people no longer able to talk and maybe, and it is even worse, no longer wants to talk.
Obviously we can say that it is the fault of television, a leader who has transformed people's minds, influencing, making the common thought leadership and business, which obviously being defended him one of them, or their natural leader, and the poor people now have no alternative.
But perhaps most striking is the collapse of the myth of the good local government of the left. Where the left rules, precisely at the local level, it is said to be confirmed, and it is not that good government is not told that that is what people do, everyone, not just speculators, but also young people, intellectuals , families, etc., are expecting. The left when administrative, bureaucratic and often quietly, no longer a dream, and people do not vote again. Take the case of my country, Nerviano: after fifty years of center-right wins the center-left, even for demerits of others. What a great opportunity to change course, to make people dream, and yet - mind you do not want to be a review on the work of this administration - in fact citizenship nervianese in all elections that have occurred in the administrative right to vote continues. Possible that the only option for the next win is that the right is divided inside? It is not only the case of Nerviano, is also the case of Parabiago, in which the election will begin in a few hours, or has been the case in Laindon. Almost everywhere in the northern part of Milan if the left wins the right appears in a separate house: when the left wins does not win for a real work of internal reform, and indeed often the reformers the thought of next, whether young people, intellectuals, businessmen, etc., are away from the leadership of the party itself, or relegated to marginal role, while remaining the most obedient to the dominant thought, and worse than the usual names. Let us consider the case of Penati fact, a case that perfectly represents a ruling class that continues to suonarsela cantarsela and alone - and I would say almost always because of the continuous defeats evil suonarsela -.
We try to strike a positive note - while Polverini announced that tomorrow there will be a feast for the gladiators of the vote, thanking the boys of his committee ... chills; Bonino and thanks for the victory? (He sees her ...) -? I that the only real positive note of this election is the confirmation of Vendola in Puglia. The victory of one who has admitted his mistake, that is, that he trusted too much of the leadership of the party that supported him and who betrayed him to the sound of scandals, which has left cleaning up its former executive and challenging openly, with the primaries, the "new" candidate of the party by tapping and going among the people to demand the vote. A vote that has given the people. Bravo.
We hope that one day in Lombardy you can start from there, from the famous primaries. Personally I would like to remind you that in 2003 I was just saying that the primaries could be the only way to turn, or try to do so, a party, a group of people, too tied to its mechanisms, too tied to its internal bureaucracy, too far from the people.
Ps. I was preparing a reflection on the left and work but I momentarily frozen. Resurface in the coming days.
