On the site of "Polis Active", Sandro Caschili wrote in the days an interesting recent analysis titled "Allies .. but rivals, particularly on the local political situation.
I shared the calm reflection of the genuine interest in favor of political action aimed at the problems of our community and a sincere concern about a possible deterioration of the political struggle. The words used, the concepts, Sandro reconfirmed as an important partner and great value, whose cooperation and participation in the emerging alternative project would be very important in this delicate political phase of the elections here.
However, given the esteem with regard to Sandro, given the importance to raise the debate on issues and more and thicker consistency, I think it is important to expose my thoughts on the issues he touched.
Summarily, the impression that emerges from the analysis of Sandro does not appear "modernist", "progressive" or tending to propose scenarios and encourage innovative, it shows a feeling of nostalgia, nostalgic of what Sandro, with a term borrowed from history, calls "Pax" Sarrocchese.
Similar "Pax", just to remember, was outlined around a political agreement between the various characters leading politicians of the left and part of the local Christian Democrats. An electoral alliance very strong in Sandy, correct me if I misunderstood, it seems to want to want a new edition when he writes: "I think that although the story is not likely to change our politicians have a duty to restore those conditions that caused the current stalemate and confrontation of local politics sometimes end in itself. [...] Whether you like it or not this area needs unity and political figures that have emerged for ability and charisma have to find the way of alliances not those of confrontation. "
On this point I disagree with Sandro. I do not believe that the disappearance of the principle of alternation of government is an achievement, or value. I do not believe that the alliance be called a sort of "Moloch" invincible as ungovernable, but capable of winning for decades, is an achievement of democracy.
The policy has given us a Sarroch in recent decades, it was only a consensus to abrogate democracy. Because there is no democracy without alternation or national level, nor at the local level. The alternative is a clear signal of a democratic political reality. Specifically, as a similar event occurs in a non-systematic, but repeated over time, the more democracy at every level has a smooth operation.
Concern of alternate policy is not a "precious academic" or mania by fundamentalists of Political Science, is an essential basis of a democratic system. It 'the only way that citizens have to "reject" a line and the outgoing administration to "promote" a proposal that stands in discontinuity with the previous one. The alternation of political dynamism, growth is reciprocal and parallel cultural evolution. The alternation is also good for those who remain in the pits, to think about what is wrong, on what should be done to regain the trust of the electorate with the facts. Policy options and a "game-improvement". Hinder this mechanism of political engineering equivalent to render superfluous the elections.
Alternating policy also provides the best features of market logic into politics. The coalitions are compared, and this political battle is managed by the logic of competition. It becomes a challenge, a competition where the proposals and alternative ideas are opposed to the inheritance of the political group the outgoing policy.
The "Pax Politics" Sandro was a union of which he speaks incoherent and irrational irreconcilable political forces. The presence of moderate forces within those coalitions will certainly have brought positive elements in the government of the territory, but at the same time made it impossible for the potential development of a true political alternative, a real coalition of moderate forces politically homogeneous.
The "left" and undisturbed place has governed uninterruptedly for 25 years. E 'success in this endeavor because it is subtracted from the electoral competition by co-opting opposition figures in their own "civic lists. This parts of culture that has prevented the government that the country needed, this practice has canceled the alternation of local politics and with it all enrichment-related. The lists generated by these particular apparently presented themselves to voters as "tanks" can not be beaten and the lists of opposition, however good, were based on already defeated. The advantages brought by the moderate opposition figures included in the government team has never been enough to make such a majority at the problems of the country, this is because the "golden share" remained, and remains today, always at hand usual array of power elites PCI / PDS / DS / PD.
The breaking of this "pax", as traumatic for the players and for revealing the real political aims of the local PD was ultimately good for the local system sarrocchese for two reasons: 1
) centrist forces, hunted by the Government for failing political support given to the PD to the regional elections, they realized that the time has come for an alternative to working together with other opposition forces that, in contrast to PD, no damage override the interests of the party secretariat on that of the country;
2) the failure of this "Pax" finally makes possible creating a political alternative to the current majority including those involving moderate political forces in opposition for decades.
The first tangible result of these new appearance is to establish a much clearer policy framework for the electorate, electoral competition where all the forces at work have increased competitiveness. The breaking of this "Pax" clearly allows the electorate to decide whether to confirm who "dominates" for decades without interruption, or if a political reward, which includes in-house "," who seeks to represent that segment of voters center-right opposition for too long. The end of "Pax" simplifies the competition by submitting to the polls a challenge between preserving the status quo and change.
Fearing the creation, finally, even Sarroch, a modern bipolar model does not consider appropriate means for our country a fresh wind of renewal and change. It means to regret the recent and distant past. Yet the signs of stagnation, immobility, a lack of public ethics, the absence of ideas and projects are quite obvious. Sarroch, with the huge economic opportunities that it has, should be a prosperous country, rich infrastructure and employment, but the former are non-existent (SS195, Dam) or in poor condition (Porto) and unemployment reached levels never before achieved, and in the meantime the Town Council is concerned only expensive to organize events and weave a rhetorical propaganda battle with the industry. For these and other reasons and a lack of available programs and innovative ideas, the displeasure of the natural end of such a historical cycle is more understandable only by reference to physiological and psychological violence against fear of the advent of a new political cycle.
The country is so unaccustomed to the political struggle, competition policy, a real political opposition, which assists with curiosity, interest and sometimes fear of potential before the degeneration of the level of confrontation. A concern that is also part of the reflection of Sandro when he says: "What's going on these days or what will happen between now and will soon be a scenario of one against the other armed with a sort of unprecedented fight to blood obviously politically speaking. In this context, those who love politics, the real one, can not but have strong concerns. "
I think, conversely, that deserves concern only the case in which there was strong opposition as we have hours. The Opposition's role is vital in a democratic system, and if you turn on the tone of the times is simply because the seriousness of the situation requires it. The important thing is to keep some education and do not go beyond the political stakes of getting used to blackmail or threats. These elements that, until proven otherwise, were suffered by SARROCH FREE and not committed.
Having a vision of "peaceful and constructive" policy should not mean putting the silencer to the opposition political activity. I believe that the citizens of Sarroch not have reacted with "concern," read the flyer SARROCH FREE, but with "indignation" against the squandering of public money in full employment and economic crisis.
In conclusion Sandro dark outlines scenarios for the future sarrocchese stating that in the particular context of the country could be present as the only real loser "by the mere fact that the men most representative of local politics will use any means to cancel and annihilate each other. It's not hard to imagine that as the losers in politics, in turn, will not ever won they will use every means in their power to erode and undermine the political opponent. "
In response to the latter assessment, call Sandra not to fear change. In a democratic competition there are those who are inside and those outside. The center has been out for 25 years and nobody has bothered to weave political science analysis on his absence from the local government. If the next election with the politicians of the Democratic Party will remain in the pits, this should not be cause for concern for anyone, it will be just the normal evolution of local democracy. Moreover, the "alternate list" as moderate and liberal politicians will not affect these groups with the same currency in which they were struck in those years that they have not submitted to the municipal power. Why
the "alternate list" will be something different.
will be new.
will CHANGE.
