ITALIAN does not stop BERLUSCONI
To understand what happens in Italy should be, in my opinion, look "through the eyes of others." A correspondent for the Guardian, one of the leading British newspapers, this article talks about why the Italian phenomenon is so unusual, so strongly rooted in the very idea of \u200b\u200bbeing "Italian" and probably cancrenizzato so as to bring the country a slow and painful end.
(translation of the original article by Vanessa Bellardinelli)
In recent years, Italian politics has captured the attention of international media only during the numerous gaffes Silvio Berlusconi or the scandals about his trades and escort appointments for models and starlets in parliament. This show of very low quality has been repeated in the last government crisis that saw the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Gianfranco Fini, and his followers split from the Freedom People. Constantly foolery of Berlusconi and his annoying machismo has recently added a blasphemy even after the President has used an oath during a recent release to the public - which has angered the opposition and indignation that the Church tries to ingratiate himself from Berlusconi years with his views on euthanasia and abortion.
Personality Berlusconi, equally divided between the entertainer and cruise megalomaniac businessman (his previous vocations) have monopolized Italian politics for more than 15 years. Perspective in which attention is pointed on his personality rather than policies of government and the opposition thrust force in a soil media that he dominates, the Berlusconi's latest faux pas can be interpreted almost as a strategy precise, aimed at avoiding any discussion once again on the real problems of the country and its legal problems.
But you should resist the temptation - animated by using evident that the President does its political power to escape its legal wrangling - to think that Berlusconi is the sole cause of all evil Italians (The Economist, for example, believes that the conflict of interests of the Premier and his foolery honorable cause damage the free market in Italy). This idea is also the engine that drove a part of Italy has organized a "color revolution" (the Purple People), which recently took to the streets to protest against Berlusconi's former communists and social democrats, anti-political movements revolve around the comedian Beppe Grillo and former followers pm "Clean Hands" Antonio Di Pietro. The use made of Twitter is another sign of opposition disoriented.
In March there will probably be new elections and the star of Berlusconi in the downturn it is worth asking what lies beyond the
Berlusconi. The coalition government, with its volatile mix of northern secessionists racist, fascist and post-liberal authoritarian populism Berlusconi's business has done nothing to divert attention from an economic black headlights pointing at immigrants and protecting interests of those in possession of wealth. The pure selfishness - individual and corporation and geographic - has been transformed into an ideal. The endless discussions about "freedom" in reality meant nothing more than freedom for some and uncertainty for everyone else.
Unemployment among young people and women is rampant. Precarious employment is widespread. In addition, Italy has the worst statistics in Europe for workplace fatalities. The government, despite the huge burden of unpaid work of women (some statistics estimate the actual working week to 60 hours), intend to raise the retirement age. New by-laws that pose a serious threat to the work situation of many researchers and university professors is one of many indices of total contempt for the social progress in any form. In a country whose constitution after the war was based heavily on the concept of free market and social assistance, now rampant discrimination and a very unfortunate degeneration of civil and social rights - just look at the last attack against the collective agreements by Fiat from which depends the whole future of the company in Italy .
These are just some of the realities that lie behind the pagliacciaggine obscene Berlusconi. The center-left governments that preceded the Berlusconi government are no less responsible in this regard, since they have carried out a lot of "deregulation" that helped create this unstable situation for the people. It 's very unlikely that the possible realignment politico al centro (strano ma vero, questa coalizione politica potrebbe includere anche il post-fascista Fini) possa affrontare anche solo alcuni di questi problemi. Rimuovere Berlusconi senza affrontare la regressione costante osservata nella società italiana negli ultimi due decenni significherebbe condannare l’Italia (prendendo spunto da uno slogan di centro-sinistra) ad essere “un Paese normale” – ovvero, nel presente panorama europeo e mondiale, un Paese sempre più afflitto da discriminazione, pregiudizio e paura. Sebbene debbano ancora coalizzarsi in qualcosa di più organico, le recenti mobilitazioni avvenute contro la privatizzazione dell’acqua e la dilapidazione del sistema educativo, assieme ad alcuni gruppi sindacali che hanno lottato contro il “ricatto” della Fiat, dimostrano che un’opposizione sociale a Berlusconi esiste.
In questa era post-ideologica di “centro”, l’opportunismo elettorale sembrerebbe l’unica arma contro il radicalismo e in favore della moderazione. Nonostante ciò, la traiettoria della sinistra italiana, che perde continuamente convinzione e consensi, radicata sul concetto che il capitalismo sia l’unica soluzione possibile per il futuro del Paese, la dice lunga sulla situazione in cui versa l’opposizione. E’ giunta l’ora di abbandonare l’illusione che si possa vivere da social-democratici con principi neoliberali. Occorre trovare nuovi definizioni che affrontino il conflitto, spesso monodirezionale, tra forza lavoro e capitale che sta alla base della crescente diseguaglianza sociale e “flessibilità” lavorativa. Se ciò non dovesse accadere, l’Italia sarebbe condannata a procedere lungo il suo disastroso cammino sebbene con una faccia più presentabile.
