With provincial elections behind us, Venice is now looking at local 2010. A relatively short time separates us from the important elections - just over six months.
To hear the comments of those who went to vote a few weeks ago and, even more, of those who have willfully deserted the polls, there is skepticism and disaffection concern.
The most immediate reaction would be: how to give the skeptics wrong, young people and politics do not want to hear about the many who prefer to engage in social and cultural issues specific and immediate? How can we not understand that in that there are a thousand good reasons for refusing to do anything else, not "dirty" politician with politics? Meanwhile
party - already tired and shabby - the "totosindaco": dozens of names of possible candidates, announced on newspapers or cleverly whispered by the "experts", last names, like moths, a few hours between dusk and dawn.
How should the ideal candidate? How should we choose? They are the parties must express the signs? And then, the candidate of the party or coalition? E Cacciari, what will? Brunetta E?
short, how to give the skeptics wrong and disaffected policy: when the show is ugly and of poor quality, why should anyone go to the show? And then - not at all rhetorical question, but frankly naive - and only because more viewers? Politics is not - or should be - first of all participate?
E 'can turn the page and make credible policy action in a way worthy of the name? Or is it too late to recover the intelligence, enthusiasm, the passion of those who want to live in an open, civil, able to look forward without tighten - a spirit greasy - petty and small in the balance of group interests or the desperate logic the "hope that I manage?
If space still exists, if a door - albeit very narrow - it is perceived, then this hope has to do primarily with the method by which the work will be discussed, it will be decided: in short, depends on how you will policy in the coming months.
start with the transparency. You can not decide that everything always elsewhere. It is possible that a hole can not be identified, a physical and symbolic of discussion in which everyone can propose, criticize and take a stand.
For this to happen we need action and city wide open: capable of intercepting the signals of the most authentic social and territorial desire to communicate and build a real political discourse. It requires that parties to step back, be that newspapers are willing to listen to everyone (not just the usual suspects), it is necessary that the associations are less timid and cautious, it is necessary that individuals have courage and honesty in taking a position and think about politics.
start from the ideas and proposals, because the content must be at the heart of Venice is changing. There is time for the "totosindaco" there is no rush to customize the choice that we face at the ballot box in March 2010. Without a plan, without a draft of the program, you need to know who will be the candidate for mayor? Unless the content does not count for anything, and problem solving should be - for unfathomable reasons - blindly delegated to the "savior of the Fatherland" of the moment - right or left it.
Discuss priorities and compatibility of house and rights, of public and private ethics of political participation and the environment: these are the issues that are passionate, these are the issues that matter in our lives. And then, of this, nothing else, it must first talk.
should do so in an open, constructive, responsible, honest. Parties are able to take on this challenge? Citizens are able to impose as a condition inevitable? Associations are interested in being on this land?
If so, the third character of the new method in its ability to listen to the reasoning and analysis of all, putting aside threadbare clichés and prejudices, and defusing the harmful dynamics of ropes and clientele. The city first of all. The quality of the policy first.
not that women and men in politics are not important, but history teaches us that the search of the 'Man of the news "is, at best, silly looking, is authoritarian and undemocratic, in the worst case scenario.
Politics and democracy can not survive without an active and collegial obligations to think about the common good and recognize that no future if he does not deal with the next. Old and worn-out rhetoric this one? Well, if so, then we will have no hope of change and the town square will be easy prey for wolves and hyenas in the night politics have always been good game.
