Do Alexis Texasblack Guys?

My reflection of Saturday, December 20, 2008 ...

Here I report my speech on Saturday, so that you can comment and criticize .... in the hope of many who still want a reconstructed left in Italy!

"It gives me great hope to know that the intuition of a unitary and plural left, drafted (and unfortunately wrecked) with the project of the Rainbow Left, who believed along with many others, you may finally have a its container of meaning and direction in terms of which method to go ...
At the birth of the Left here in the region, I have to express some thoughts with you, because that association not only become - a point of view organization - the prelude to a constituent phase and then maybe a new political entity, but also and above all - from a political standpoint theory - the push for a serious and critical reading of what it means, from my point of view, be left now before they do or say things to the left today.
I say this because the next step will be "the primary of ideas" (and then finally in the spotlight does not put the leadership or the political class, but the ideas and not cheap!) And then today I want to focus on a discussion of background , method ... in the sense that I will not go into the spheres of issues and policies (environment, labor, immigration, welfare were more or ...) but present only the theoretical tools, from my point of view, to be able to continue to feel "left" in a time when the loss seems to prevail.

1) ETHICS
First I put the question of ethics: I do believe in a post-industrial society as complex as ours, that ethics is the field that concerns the orientation of the basic choices, the whose objective is to improve not only the quality of life, but also the dignity of life of each of the inhabitants of this planet and my thoughts go especially to those who make more effort to live and now we live in a global crisis that will force you to put at the core of many of the struggles and difficulties in social reality, here as elsewhere ...

A new political entity must then be born with the knowledge that political life must be moralized, because it is subject to supervision by the true protagonist of the life of our society, namely the public and today, in our society, this view in some public way must be recreated ... Why?
Because on the one hand we are taken from the grip of a political
a) professionalized, because the political class is becoming more separate, more and more professionalized and that professionalism is not goes wrong, mind you, only that professionalism can not be something separate from the dynamics of society.
b) archaic, where the language of politics is one of the languages \u200b\u200bthat are most anachronistic and has nothing to do with the richness of the language we use in our daily lives or who use art and a certain type of literature ... the language delay is a major indicator: when the language of a particular sphere of society is set back from the social dynamic, well then there must be able to intervene ... and I hope we can do it all together, starting with a serious reflection on the need for replacement generation of the political class and the fact that a decrease in the people who decide to make policy in the parties and those parties in the decision-making.
c) and oligarchic precisely where the oligarchical model we see often powerless, which relies on surveys and a logic of pure achievement of consensus, as if it were the sale or exchange of a product, is now a model very common even on the left: look at reality television and to give its assent to the choices of the few who decide for all through the polls, the ballot box or referendum, it produces a democracy deficit. Went down the sites of policy making and the number of people participating in these places and orientation of common sense has as its protagonists increasingly the media and who has access to these and less those that the policy should be. For
the other hand we are instead taken from the grip of communication systems more and more, as it were, removed from democratic control, control of public opinion: in fact witnessing a "diminishing political nature of discourses of politics" and a " politicization of the non-political "(entertainment programs, shows, ..) which takes the place of politics radically changing the meanings and language: the politics becomes more declamatory and superficial increasingly distant from reality, while the non-political sense fills the lives of people / consumers, inventing fake realities.
Well, I believe that the public sphere should be recreated just like something in between these two poles and is subtracted from the grip at the bite of these two poles.

Talking about the centrality of ethics does not mean then to speak of "ethical state", which in many, even just to the right of us, they would like (and an example of all, the case Englaro, tells us how even a choice with a so delicate and personal profile can be unbearably declined in this sense): ethical state is a disaster, because the state must not have a function, say, ethics training, but should only give the tools to each of us to be able to guide the awareness of the centrality of secular state. I believe that the fundamental role of education, public education. I emphasize this because it is highly topical: will public education is essential for the reconstruction of public ethics.

finally talking of ethics means to me is talk of crisis of values, but also tell us that it is desertification of values, but rather a kind of fragmentation values \u200b\u200band ethical disorientation has been and remains a problems on the left hand with the end of ideological blocs, that somehow affords each of us of the areas of membership, and the resulting crisis of ideology we have witnessed a pluralization of values. These values \u200b\u200bare not only many, but is also often in conflict with each other. And then we have to say that this crisis of values \u200b\u200bis also a crisis of unity and homogeneity of the modern subject, which is no longer, say, a subject compact, self-referential, creating a unique identity so. But it is a person who lives within himself, the conflict between values. This is the key point: it lives inside. That is, the conflict is not only between us and Muslims or between us and so on and so forth, etc. ... No. The conflict of values \u200b\u200bis within each one of us (even on the left, for example, the conjugation between worker protection and environmental protection can no longer be a cause of division between operational and environmental identity, but must be able to rise to a synthesis necessary!) and therefore we have to ask the question of a new ethical consideration, that binds:

a) on one side to a more articulated vision of the subject (and society) and that of my point of view must meet the criterion of secularism above all, that is linked closely to the in connection with the world ... relational ethic! We must repeat that our identity is not substantially identical, static, as if to say "secured from source to end," but it is a dynamic identity that we, from time to time, we reconstruct biographically and that has to do with our capacity from time to time to choose, to choose one thing rather than another, to change, let us also contaminate the identities of others, other ...

b) and across a substantial questioning of our model development, to seek a political project, making it the center and the commons then the theme of the decline the only way to make sense of our being in relationship with the world, understood as a unique community of people and land as the mother of all the inhabitants of the planet ...
In all these directions and then want me to tell you how is very clear that the separation of ethics from politics will be for the common cause of disasters, and even more so for a left that wants to renew ...

2) Nonviolence
The second element that I want to offer to the debate is the current of historical necessity absolutely not afraid to open the political conflict, to raise a healthy democratic political discourse (sometimes in My brief experience in town I got the impression she's dead even in the dead center!), provided we are convinced of the need to practice large-scale exploration of effective methods of nonviolent struggle from those used by the working classes in the struggle between capital and labor, than those charged by Gandhi, Martin Luther King and many others in the struggle for independence of a people or the affirmation of basic human rights than those charged by many women's movements, to those charged by many citizens that of non-violence and civil disobedience did request tool to re-democratize our democracy ... and I think especially the movement in recent years, from the Social Forum in which I played for a long time or "No Tav", the "No Dal Molin", the 'wave' of today and many others ...
I believe that the power dynamic (which coincides with violent attitudes), so that the left part of the political class does not seem to be able to leave (and I continue to report to have suffered from my own constituency!) And deeply at odds with an ethical policy in the way I understand it, but I feel in good company with many of my teachers and many of my teachers: nonviolent activists and thinkers from many women in the feminist movement that accompanied
my political career ... I believe that the political struggle is not, by nature, closely related to the use of deceit or fraud or violence or otherwise linked to pure power dynamics, played on the exchange of favors. ... Instead, I believe that human beings, even when they act in groups and in conflict situations aimed, may be able to behave and react in a humane way, because I think they are influenced by the appeal to reason, empathy and nonviolent pressure. I believe that the history of relations between politics and ethics, from this point of view, is the story of the continuing attempt to moralize politics by creating situations and institutions that limit and reduce some so the use of violence and promote the tools of dialogue, compromise fair and peaceful resolution of conflicts. That humanity has not yet managed to overcome these violent methods to those of power, does not mean that another world is possible! I believe in the need to translate this policy into practice ethical tension!

3) THE GLOBAL-LOCAL CONNECTION
My political career has gone through the motions, from Genoa to Porto Alegre, from Florence to Vicenza, in observing and listening to the experiences of the peoples of Latin America, of 'Asia and Africa, of those thousands of people who come to our country running away from terrible situations, hunger, war and persecution. In listening to the movements of people who tell us that we, despite the economic crisis we are experiencing, the precariousness of a labor market increasingly savage and disrespectful of the rights and health of workers, even though banks and caste with which we live We are still part of that 20% of humanity living on 80% of available resources.
saying this I say that today a new left can not be separated from its political action consider local problems as being related to a global context : this is evident when it comes to immigration, climate, but it must be when we speak work, when we culture, development of the economic system, urban planning, when we plan the logistics, when we think about tourism in our area or when we think about education policy, university. And this not only because the total has been here for us as it is local, but also for the principle that has always inspired the left that is solidarity, which must cover not only our new poverty, but must always take account of existing and increasing poverty, even with our action in the room can help to increase or decrease.

4) PARTICIPATION
too often even our politics the left is filled with the participation not only mouth the word without knowing what it is or what it might really be, but also to exploit it for electoral purposes, without giving serious content and thus disqualifying a revolutionary concept rich in content.
speak of participation for me is to say that while this is not to make any consultation, negotiation or selective hearing of citizens, but it means opting for a radical, substantive, structural form, starting from the centrality be given to the territory as a living subject . This fact, in my imagination of participation is built on a complex set of relationships between:
1) natural (natural resources with related environmental issues)
2) built environment (the city, the facilities, the "landscape" produced by man) and
3) anthropic environment (the company established, culture, civil structure, knowledge of the people who live ...).
Here, I believe that the relationship between these three elements are indivisible penalty land degradation in pure "space" and if this report will not be put the center of the reconstruction methods that govern political action you never left plus the ability to regain the credibility that the left has lost in recent years! The same
participation also connects unequivocally the relationship between local and global. Why give birth to many movements and engine bottom-up participation at the local level and disseminate the practice is to give people the tools to cope with strong powers. Those powers that be in which decisions are not made based on democratic practices and in accordance with the purposes of a public good and that their lack of ethics of our ruling classes are often the weak point in order to achieve their own ends. How little is enough to buy a multi-national political elites in many poor countries and implement decisions that go exactly against the interests of citizens? Today means starting to make participation in local answers to global problems.
Many of you know me for my delegation to the budget participatory and in this sense I want to tell you that this form of city government - let's call for simplification of "co-decision between managers and managed" - responds to the necessity of already mentioned "re-democratize democracy," because it is the result of a sort of rethinking of the link between direct democracy and representative democracy, where participation is therefore a reconstruction of a common interest in understanding what is best to do for that area in terms of living conditions and living!

Finally, and taking some points that I highlighted, I want to tell you that from my point of view:
- left or we will make preferential options
1) for the moralization of politics
2) for non-violence in politics
3) for the participation
- or will not be able to build or public opinion or to make "choices part of "an authoritative or involve many more people who do not vote and that in the next we are going to build a whole would find important references."

The Association for the Left

In Udine Saturday December 20th we had a shared public assembly hall in Ajax to give impetus to a regional route to be given to the newly formed Association for the Left.

It came at a national level December 13, 2008, meeting in open microphone that gave Moni Ovadia, for strict three minutes each, the opportunity to anyone (except the party leaders!) to speak and express their hope and then the membership of the new association ...

Here I report that the programmatic document November 7 2008, many intellectuals and politicians have attempted to draw up and then led to the decision to build a lightweight, just an association that seeks to divide the territories and "Core of ideas that we will be in the streets early next year:

" The girls and boys these days carry their protest in the squares of the country for a school to help them create a future tell us that the hope of another Italy is possible. What you can respond right away to increase the rights and privileges. What you can answer that bloody crime to insult the South and wants to silence the conscience freer. That you can give dignity at work, breaking the dominant logic that today's increasingly relegated to the profit and commodification. What we can say the freedom of women and live in a country where secularism is an inviolable principle. That you can work for a peaceful world. What is possible, in front of the offensive racist towards immigrants, respond - as Einstein did - that the only race we know is human. What is possible through a conversion ecological economics of combating climate change by reducing the environmental and social impacts. What is possible, therefore, react to a miserable policy which, in front of the grave problem of global warming, tried to block the choice of Europe on behalf of a blind protection of narrow interests. change this country is possible. Provided that this hope to practice today grows in intensity, to bring it into contact with a policy that also knows how to change herself to translate hope into reality today. And 'this is the primary task of what we call sinistra.Viviamo in a country and a time that they need a renewed commitment and a new left, ecologist, solidarity and peace. The daily chronicle of events is now a merciless account of Italy and the crisis of neoliberal policies on a global scale. When the social and material condition of so many people rushed to remove the risk of any meaning to the word future when citizenship, cohabitation, recognition of the other values \u200b\u200bbecome increasingly marginal, and when the men and women of this country see grow their loneliness in the face of institutions, in the workplace - often precarious, sometimes absent - as in those of knowledge, and when this happens no social conscience can stand still and wait. We are facing a crisis that marks a real watershed. Adrenaline dogmas of thought that only fueled the forms of capitalism over the past 20 years. This crisis makes it more than ever the need for the left if it is able to be the bearer of a genuine alternative to company-wide globale.E 'policy that affects the job, here and now, to produce an idea, a social project, a new meaning to be given our words. And is the policy that has the task of saying that an alternative to the present state of things is necessary and possible. The right to adjust his heavy government action - everything is already clear in just a few months - on the basis of an agenda that has exasperated even in the exaltation of the market and the dismantling of our Constitution the Republican strongholds that underpin it. What will school and training, environment, health and welfare, income levels and quality of work, citizenship rights and self-determination of women and men in the Italy of tomorrow, that tomorrow is just around the corner, where the effects of this right now the government will be disruptive and hit straight at the heart of the living conditions, already so difficult for many women and men? E 'comes from here that the urgency and space - real, real, possible, growing - a new left that will inspire hope and call to politics, working on a project to mobilize the country and knows who is disappointed , distracted, distant. A waste that left the shelter of identity an end in itself, the flight from politics, the frantic search for signs of the past as new fetishes to shake to the present. A left and take the defeat in April as a moment of truth, not just weaknesses. And the underlying causes of that defeat want to start without retracing errors, presumptions, limits. A look at Europe as a place that left fundamental approach and the construction of an alternative to this globalization. A left capable of work to show how the systematic devaluation is a crucial part of economic and social crisis that viviamo.Per do that we think of a left that is finally able to mix the seeds of most signs and political cultures to make a different language, a different outlook on things this time and of this world. A policy of peace, not only as a repudiation of the war, even as construction of the everyday culture of nonviolence and cooperation as an alternative to the competition. A left civil rights, freedoms, equality and differences. A Left that is no longer the political class but a place of participation, research, shared responsibilities. Who can collect the civil activism, intellectual and political overcoming the traditional political parties natural enclosures. And to be in charge of strict opposition, pledging to build a new, positive force field and ideas for the country. The defense of the national labor contract, and companies that want to abolish government to make it uneven and only the working men and women is our immediate priority, along with the affirmation of the value of universal public schools and universities and climate protection that requires a real e propria rivoluzione ecologica nel modo di produrre e consumare.Lavorare da subito ad una fase costituente della sinistra italiana significa anche spezzare una condizione di marginalità - politica e persino democratica - e scongiurare la deriva bipartitista, avviando una riforma delle pratiche politiche novecentesche.L’obiettivo è quello di lavorare a un nuovo soggetto politico della sinistra italiana attraverso un processo che deve avere concreti elementi di novità: non la sommatoria di ceti politici ma un percorso democratico, partecipativo, inclusivo. Per operare da subito promuoviamo l’associazione politica “Per la Sinistra”, uno strumento leggero per tutti coloro che sono interessati a ridare voce, ruolo e progetto alla Italian left, starting wide membership and plural. As of now forming committees in the territories promoters provisional, open to all who are interested in the constitutional process, with the task of participating in the production, Saturday, December 13, a national assembly. The starting point of a process to be submitted in January to a consultation paper around a mass of intent, a name, symbol, shared rules. We propose to go through a December 13 meeting of the calendar of events where we are engaged already in November, to build a national meeting on the school and campaigns on issues of labor and denial of rights, the environment and anti-nuclear and civil military and Development delle energie rinnovabili.Sappiamo bene che non sarà un percorso semplice né breve, che richiederà tempo, quel tempo che è il luogo vero dove si sviluppa la ricerca di altri linguaggi, la produzione di nuova cultura politica, la formazione di nuove classi dirigenti. Una sinistra che sia forza autonoma - sul piano culturale, politico, organizzativo - non può prescindere da ciò. Ma il tempo di domani è già qui ed è oggi che dobbiamo cominciare a misurarlo. Ecco perché diciamo che questo nostro incontro segna, per noi che vi abbiamo preso parte, la comune volontà di un’assunzione individuale e collettiva di responsabilità. La responsabilità di partecipare a un percorso che finalmente prende avvio e di voler help to extend the various realities of the territory, subjecting it occurs largely of developers working on the most sensitive issues affecting so many people and which bind a political project of the Italian left, starting with peace, fairness and social from work, the rights and the environment to laicità.Noi we are committed today in this way. A build in time that will be required. Starting now. "

Testing of Participatory Budgeting and its aftermath ...

As I said, the first birth, completed with a long and painful labor and even a little 'post partum depression was experimenting with the Participatory Budget, to which I devoted at least three months of work (September-October-November, to close in December) tiring both physically and emotionally / psychologically, because I found many obstacles to its realization ... of a technical-administrative staff initially and then Order all political ...

will find all the technical information on this site on the experimentation of the City, so here I will not tell the details of technical, administrative and procedural, but I would like to tell you about this experience from the perspective of a Councillor delegate to the Participatory Budget, which has worked very hard and free (memory for those who do not know that my delegation has no economic substance and even less will not logistically ... I have neither office nor access to telephones or equipment of any kind, in contrast - in this case - the delegates from the district ... on which a hole will open soon!), only to be "ALONE"

- not so much to defend a transaction referred to in the final press conference (I was told because I was not there) has recognized the importance and which I was credited,

- how to defend opening a serious political conflict with my Mayor and Councillor for decentralization Chiara Franceschini for what I found, in spite of myself, as a 'parallel operation that was seriously undermining the future of the Budget Participatory in the city, and that the managing directors of the district not so much in their existence in itself, but the content of proxies that have been assigned to them and so now I will explain the critical issues.

Delegates district have unfortunately received exdecreti of appointment, 2 prerogatives on which I disagree deeply, and I asked to be revised or even repealed, since it weakens the authority of the location of the BP, since it's given them the power to:

1) "listen and lead to the Mayor and Councillors systematically instances individual and collective land, in terms of things to do and of public works to be included Balance Sheet and

2) to suggest "to the Mayor and the Councillors concerned the holding of assemblies, meetings, debates, information sessions, depending on the organization at the next municipal structures District.

The first point that you understand is the antithesis of BP, in the sense that BP could replace the in indicating which priorities included in the budget of the Municipality .... unacceptable

The second point you understand that might induce shareholders' unnecessary and maybe go to overlap with the normal meeting cycle of BP!

After that, never having been consulted and called for any discussion table with the commissioner with the Mayor nor Franceschini, to which I answer in my delegation, I find myself between. Email the decree of appointment of the Mayor and any communication by Franceschini for a joint verification (since one decrees appointing one speaks of reconciliation with the Participatory Budget!) there ' I have seen and I opened a political conflict!

This in a nutshell the story that has not been completed yet, why wait to have the peace of mind and physical condition in order to address the matter again ... Cold maybe we will all to better position the question for me is all politics, though from my point of view, unfortunately, the ultimate reason of my loneliness and controversially to majority that I have seen further isolate is basically the following:

PARTIES (and what is serious is that I did not think was so much opposition to the operation of the BP also by a civil list, which should instead seize the opportunity of a route like I'm carrying on !) FEAR OF A RUN OF THE PARTICIPATION BY LOW AS BP, WHY GO TO UNDERMINE THE SMALL POWERS THAT SOME OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN BUILT IN THE DISTRICT OVER THE YEARS AND THAT CERTAINLY HAVE THAT PRODUCT BEFORE PERSONAL POLITICAL CONSENSUS STILL is the leitmotif of much of the political class, to left and the right

With this I promise you that I will keep you up to date and update if there are any further developments ... for now the only novelty was the hearing at the Commission Statute Gaddo De Anna, as representative of the Citizens' Committee for BP, which has led to requests for changes of the decrees of appointment of delegates to district, but I expect to be out in force to bring My view of the facts, which does not coincide with that of the Committee, which acted independently and that obviously has a different role than my ...

So I hope that the dialogue with the majority of my resume in the best way, in readiness to take a few steps back ...

First there was the birth of the trial Budget Participatory , of \u200b\u200bwhich there were traces on the site of the City of Udine, I linked the title of the next post (in each case on the website of the City go to the icon "participatory budgeting" that are "out" not in the "HOME" page, but in "The City").

Then there was the birth of ' Association for the Left " at the regional level, held in Udine two days ago, December 20, 2008, to start the local path of this association was established in National December 13, 2008.

I'm working ...

After more than two months of silence, I return not to make me feel ... months have been easy for many reasons, but because I think I can say that I have done in recent months (though not "told"!) everything that my political and personal opportunities have allowed me to do (which is why I have not found time to devote to the blog!), I want to tell you where we stand with the start of the path Participatory Budget, main reason why I entered politics in difficult rooms ...

After assurances by the Mayor, the total willingness to start by spring 2009 the participatory budgeting cycle, then boot in every neighborhood cycle of meetings with managers, Paola Asquini, absolutely cooperative and competent, we have provided:

1) operational work plan for the 2009-2010 budget cycle, which provides, inter alia hypothesis of a territorial division of the city in homogeneous areas (in terms of percentage of residents> 16 years), who are based in the company's well-known administrative decentralization, but go beyond trying to regain the division into villages, districts in their original division (I remember that before the seven districts, there were 10 neighborhood committee that offered the opportunity to participate in public)

2) experimentation the method of BP be done by the end of 2008 on the intended use of a minor sports

3) and together with the Head of Communication of the City, Dr. Marina Galluzzo, a communication plan, essential for the management of BP

As for my work more "political", I began to meet with individual groups and neighborhoods, thanks to the availability of committees and associations and through ad hoc invitations, preparing the ground for the initiation of the administrative route waiting for us next year, involving as many people as possible. In this work, and I also assisted by the Committee citizen for the Participatory Budget who said he was interested in building an agenda of public events to raise awareness on the issue.

My public agenda for now has only two planned meetings:

1) that, at the invitation of the homonymous Committee already happened to the Rizzi August 29

2) that in Village Station, which will be held on September 18, at the invitation of the Association workshop of the world, to 20.30, c / o the OND Railway, in Cernaia

My schedule private registers instead many more meetings, but all the other preparatory official and approach to the subject, on whose behalf, by the end of the year, he had "covered up" a bit 'all the districts with more senior appointments (public agenda), with the help of the Communications of the City, where I was gave ample availability for the design of leaflets inviting the public to participate.

We invite all to give me advice (possible constructive!) And participate in these evenings, I promise I'll try to post on the blog!

Valerian Root Nightmares

Defend the Constitution!

These days we prepare the large demonstration organized by Wandering and Italy of Values, the membership is growing and I sincerely believe that the silence of much of the extra-parliamentary left is disturbing ... but why do not accede to the event, but why the Left seems unable to respond ... we seem powerless ... no ideas ... but I know there are many around and I hope we will soon raise the destiny!

Somewhere you have to start from my position and I'm trying to do what I can, I promise! The political work is not about events, but everyday work, study and reports ... Today we have a confrontation with the Mayor as a group of Rainbow Left and I hope soon to give you some answers to questions that today ... but we want to put the work is cesellino and of course we can not expect short-term answers!

There is an appeal, "In Defense of the Constitution "of which I am attaching the link to sign, written by a hundred constitutional experts, expressing" insuperable doubts of constitutionality "on the amendment process stops, and Alfano temporary immunity for high state offices and ask to join Their call to "defend the Constitution" ... sign it!
Article 3 of the Constitution is violated in this case because we citizens of Series A (the highest offices of state) and second-class citizens 8tutti others) ... but not the only front on which heads the systematic infringement of Article. 3 of the Constitution by this government!

For example, the decree Maroni fingerprint to be taken Roma and Sinti children, but in Italy the Italian citizens, including infants who do not belong to the Sinti and Roma minorities suffer much with the filing of the registration of fingerprints? If the answer is no, we are faced with a flagrant violation of Article 3 of Italian Constitution which states that all citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language , religion, political opinion, personal and social conditions.

speech in Council on 1 of my colleague Fred Pirone

Taking the 'importance of the concept of method, of which he has already spoken to my colleague Anna Paola Peratoner, highlighting the centrality of citizen participation the management of public affairs, adds that

We believe it is essential therefore that Udine for its citizens becomes concrete and symbolic construction of space , principle of meaning for those who 's living and the principle of intelligibility for those who observe : the 'organization of space and the creation of places is one of the issues at stake and one of the modes of individual and collective practices of contemporary life. What role can thus have a 'local authority? The question is not purely technical or general ethics, but a chief concerns in the contents of the policy:

must ensure that institutional mechanisms are reviewed in order to put a brake on the democratic deficit in today accused the so-called anti-politics politics. We too, here in Udine device, we are not immune from the feedback mechanism of the crisis in Italian politics which has fallen, whose subjectivity is sunk. The policy can no longer speak, or at least does not speak in terms of how it did before. You can not expect to give answers or merely provide just solutions to the everyday and patents: the policy is not detached from civil society, has stuck to it as well as being unable to read and decipher the data of the same company, scope of special interests and selfish corporate, it is unfortunately only as a passive reflection and unconditional. The lack of political subjectivity is therefore all the prodrome 'emergence of an uneasiness of citizens against the proposed policy. Instead, we want an 'administration, in addition to being able to listen well and to show concrete solver, you put that in perspective as a high political sense who can do and ask questions, which is orientated in civic responsibility and democracy;

renegotiate the method is equivalent to redefining what the meaning priorities to be assigned to 'intervention in the reality of political practice, in particular, this arises in those fields, too limited and that found in the past a chronic and structural hiding 's administration.
Take for example the problem of traffic, more and more chaotic and disordered also in Udine quiet. We 's agreement with you when he says that "to solve the traffic problems it must be assumed by an' analysis of traffic flows and the needs of different users who come to town." Rightly, then you have (it reads) "reducing the 'use of private vehicles" and "improving the cycling." Findings that there are absolutely in agreement. We read in the press that the junta is thinking of 800 new parking spaces (including underground parking).
Set priorities for meaning In this case we believe is equivalent to working with realism, that is, listening to what the needs of the population and evaluating what 'is the rational distribution of the parking areas in which they will intervene, so as to reach a compromise between the territory and users. We want to work so that it points to ease traffic congestion near the center of the city, rather than accommodate and facilitate the 'arrival of cars with parking facilities megalomaniacs. We must put the citizen in a position to uphold the 'alternative to' use up near the center of your car: it is an 'alternative it difficult for the average citizen because he considers it includes expensive in terms time and will, at times even anti-economic. Why do not you think then of those in the suburbs, where public service is weak and unsteady?, Then why do not you think the high cost of bus service? (Spoken by almost one euro per ticket, valid for 60 minutes), why not then think seriously to facilitate those students, those older people, those commuters who need to can not move with the 'car? Why do not you think then in the service of parking-exchangers, little or no advantage? while all those who want to visit their loved one to 'Gervasutta hospital on Sunday or public holidays must necessarily rely on a taxi from the station, because of bus there are none!

speak of some themes:

Immigration-integration: We have already expressed our discomfort and dismay of our constituents regarding the appointment of Mr Volpe Pasini as delegate to the mayor's relationship with the citizens on security. We will work with conviction and commitment, Mr. Mayor, this came together and this majority, so that the system of civil citizenship, which is the system that we have more generalizable, it is claimed that the system characterizes social relations in this city: not to develop a case 'idea from' humanism reaches Rousseau tearing modernity. Caution But the climate of suspicion and intolerance towards foreigners that threatens to cause the approval of the security package. The entry into force of this package, which reveals a marked choice in the creation of an administrative-penal system of inequality under the pretense of curbing illegal immigration, is actually deeply undermining the stability and positivity of a process of reciprocity and cultural exchange between the city and the migrant population here in Udine put to work for years many migrants' associations, volunteers as well as many political parties and trade unions. We trust in this council and its mayor, to continue to support initiatives and events in which the migrant population has a very active and proactive, thus giving priority to the common sense of nationality and experimenting with new ways of social inclusion.
Adviser's proposal is certainly important from a symbolic point of view, although it can not exhaust the complexity of this issue: the board must be elected by migrant communities in a democratic and participatory process, which complies with a criterion of representativeness and not a simple appointment. If you want to make sure that migrant communities have really listening, we want to create a sort of Parlamentino, or commissions (unpaid of course), groups stable employment (health, employment, security) that together, Udine citizens and immigrants, and give support to the Adviser to the Mayor, developing collegiality that is essential for the 'integrity and' welcome. Safety is for everyone, including immigrants!

Centres: in recent years on the basis of what is today 's Law 29/2005 on regional trade, there was evidence of a problem set of trade policies. The liberalization of the openings under the pretense of balance between competition and non-tourist towns and provide consumers with an 'offer consistent, has not produced the desired effect, I quote a few:

Considering also the drop in consumption prices, for example, the centers have increased, bringing the system to an oligopoly (other than free competition!)
the quality is questionable.

The exercises are small to medium crushed by large organized distribution centers, both in malls and in the historic center of Udine;

The increase fan of 'employment has not been achieved: in the GDO, unable to cut fixed costs, reduces the staff, increasing workloads and growing job insecurity, work occasionally, part-time super-flexible, temporary work, a deterioration of labor relations;

Environmental impact almost never harmonic and traffic problems (just think of all 'street north of the city, along V.le Tricesimo) impossible even for a city of one hundred thousand inhabitants;

risks expressed by the review are that:

(1) the local shops are impoverishing;
(2) some suburbs risk becoming dormitories;
(3) the elderly and those people less self-sufficient from an economic point of view and physical which are in fact cut off from this mad race for consumption

From a cultural point of view then you are now consolidating a model that brings the city to focus uncritically consumption compared to the values \u200b\u200band bank holidays (now in fact 25 April, 1 May, etc., for the years of the center are a taboo!).

A 'order of January 18, 2008' s mayor Cecotti provides that only the old town (a former district) is considered tourist area of \u200b\u200bparticular interest: This therefore the 'exclusion from' mandatory obligation of the closing of retail outlets to Retail non-food items on Sundays and holy days. The band device is excluded from liberalization instead of hours, and then implement a program of compulsory closures approved by the Conference of Commons in the 'Inter-Territorial - Udine "for non-food businesses. The

Politics can not leave disorienati workers and citizens, must act on the prologue and here I set out first, to continue a discourse favoring a broader cultural perspective rather than critical model satisfy the market, hoping in vain for it to take better decisions. Is it not the task of politics and culture form the type of society in which we live?

There's goals is to quote 'agenda of' political agenda of this majority:

A) provide assistance to establish medium-to long-term aim to reduce traffic congestion along the access roads to the shopping centers will be fundamental to the New Master Plan;
B) go in the draft pedestrianize Mercatovecchio Street and the old town, not yielding to the concerns of those who would rather be reopened to traffic, considering the 'opportunities for involvement also in this sense of Viale Vittoria (because no one complains Friuli Doc?)
C) development of efficient urban public transport: the suburbs and places of public interest and public utility must have fast connections;
D) a tourist but as a civil Udine should establish mandatory closures at political and civil holidays relevant to its citizens, including that beyond the interests of one or the 'other company, there are individuals and families who need social protection.

Finally we applaud you, Mr. Mayor, and to those among his advisers have done their utmost so that 15 temporary workers of the town waiting to have a stabilizing, hopefully soon (before the Minister Brunetta drops his sword of Damocles) the peaceful economic and social stabilization this is a first sign of political virtuosity by this new administration.

My first speech in the City Council

So I said to city council June 18 , in the debate on programmatic lines ... equip yourself with patience and if you want to read it, otherwise patience!

1) CITY of the FUTURE
appreciate and share his words on Udine city that looks to the future
says: "we care about future generations"
We believe there's always more of a discrepancy between
- the timing of policy ( both in the sense of the term: term of 5 years - both in the sense of time management of meetings, decision times: it is not made for those who want to combine work with care in the institutions of commitment)
- and the environmental reality in sense of timing of life, but also the time of exhaustion and depletion of the environment (which requires reasoning and long-term availability to change the timetable and details of decisions): re-open spaces of the temporal policy we believe is a necessity for survival of the meaning of politics itself
We note also another discrepancy (between the before and after), because our political tradition Western broke a relationship between generations:
a) there is a prejudice against those who came before us
b) and little interest in those who come after us
c) there is no intergenerational thought: is the ' time of the sad passions "(to quote the book of 2 French showing that today's young people no longer believe that tomorrow will be better) and we do not we resign ourselves to this state of affairs
We believe it should be made of long-term thoughts on the environment and the city that we want to bequeath to future generations but also short-term on the city that we want to give young people: the new generations must be in 'local government institution of reference and should think about practices that promote the acquisition of a beneficial interest of full citizenship. Some examples: prices of bus, books, cultural and recreational services discounted or low-cost, but also events (debates, concerts, fairs, festivals of all kinds) in worldwide mission and contemporary expressing the complexity of the for ... awareness of the importance of restoring civil holidays, to give voice to the culture of anti-to stimulate the knowledge of today's dynamic labor market and make new generations aware of the precariousness that awaits them if they are not able, together with us, take up issues and rights which depend on their and our future ... We therefore expect an attitude aimed at promoting the leadership of young people, stimulating their participation and support, also economically, creativity and innovative capacity.

2) CITY MICROCOSM
We appreciate and share its analysis on the political centrality of the city: "every summarizes issues global city "means
We welcome a challenge: to restore hope, give way, give reason to believe that it is possible to live today, tomorrow and a better world starts here, from this hall, from this city, we have the opportunity to make better, more liveable, more suitable for children, youth, family, the elderly, the disabled ....
But for us also means have in mind the fact that the global horizon should not be abandoned at least as indispensable dimension to the understanding of what we experience in our daily lives, because we are united, and united by a common destiny of war or peace, it just depends on each and every one of us, citizens, continue to roll up our sleeves to take the only possible direction for the survival of our planet ... that of peace.

3) METHOD AND DEMOCRACY
We appreciate and share his discourse on method and add that in a historical moment in which the Western democracies - as Bobbio - are a jumble of "broken promises" the basic problem is precisely to rethink our democracies innovation, imagination and creating opportunities, as well as - in a logic of transparency - access to information (such as the implementation of the digital network, an initiative that we share and) also the participation of citizens who are able to put constraints on the democratic decision of : We all and all, dear, dear colleagues, councilors and mayor, we know that you can democratically decide to pollute air, water, soil and subsoil, to continue to affect the environment, to drive out the foreigner, not to feed the hungry, to cause violence and make war, to prevent women from deciding on its life, their work and their bodies, but we believe that:
- just giving voice to those who did not have it, only involving the territories, districts, individuals with their lives, their bodies, their stories, you can start to be representative, democratic and representative, as trustees and administrators, of those lives and the stories of those faces and those needs
- and only then we can say we have kept the promise of a democracy that welcomes, listens to empower citizens and accept responsibility in respect of those who make it harder to live and this common good which all true participatory processes have always brought to the center of the collective and then the political debate
This the delegation that she, Mayor, I will not be awarded to me only a political mandate and administrative to resolve the technical and political environment in which to build binaries for the participation of the above, in the form of participatory budgeting, but also will be for me an ethical-political mandate, which for me will be the center of relations with our city, and lives with people who need care, consideration of spaces of self-expression and needs as well as their creativity ...
For this example I would like to say here that the question of Adviser expression of the community of foreign nationals will contextualized within the framework of integrated actions that you and your team of government has repeatedly declared its intention to pursue: I would say that during assembly in which, starting in the spring of next year, we intend to convey the participation of citizens and the city's decision on budget priorities for individual districts and the city, the right to vote (in those meetings) all foreign residents and therefore it must be said, because we believe in the need to identify various instruments that give effect to the rights of citizenship, of which we should be able to enjoy all and all, without distinction.

Finally, we consider with great care and dedication for future issues that are central and which we shall not fail to make our voice heard in these five years we expect to work with her and his junta.

4) WOMEN AND SAFETY
The first issue is the consideration that we expect from this majority and its addition, look for a "gender" policy, beginning with the safety policy, a subject so dear our fellow center-right and managed with great uncertainty from our colleagues of the center-left.
tool of gender budgeting, which my colleague from the tower will, will be one important tool, if you will see the participation of the entire administration, because it can offer women new areas of negotiation and above all a different look also those themes which are increasingly encroaching on the agendas of local authorities, such as security: Replace this issue from a gender perspective could mean, for example, find that domestic violence (one that produces most deaths among women) is rarely included in the category "Home Security" and then no action is expected to do so, when it is well known that the vast majority of violence against women is perpetrated within the home. The GB is a tool that makes visible what is not, but this step will be crucial if we will find some dimension of the negotiations at the local level. We are
stoves and tired of hearing about the violence perpetrated by foreigners to the detriment of Italian women, but because those who say this do not read a bit 'of statistics? Why do not you stop saying that Gypsies steal babies, when a survey commissioned from the University of VR in the last 20 years shows that in Italy there is not even a case of children who have been abducted by Roma and Sinti in the face instead of hundreds of cases of their children taken away with ease? Let us return to

look "kind" ... does it mean?

a) For example, means believing that women should be "fully-fledged political entity " because the inviolability of the female body (you know true that Italy is the European country with a mind of violence against women% higher than in all other countries ....) is closely related to the cancellation, the collective mass media, women as a person (capable of thought, will and moral responsibility), we believe that they are two sides related to this foundation of all racism,
- which is the identification of women with sexuality, motherhood, reproduction of life, ...
nature - which is the reduction of women - and that part of humanity which in turn is equivalent to it (slaves, prisoners, migrants, Roma, different cultures) - a biological body excluded-included as such in the polis

b) then it means rethink the policy, knowing that the core material of the renewed authoritarianism on women's bodies also passes the processes insecurity of women's work (I'm not say that the difficulties of women and more women with children in finding a stable job or the difficult access of women to basic goods such as housing and social services or even to the particular issue of carers for those who can afford it, we offer a caring work often irreplaceable, compared to their social invisibility) and in the knowledge so that this issue (precariozzazione of women's work) must be on the political agenda of a coalition of center-left

c) it does not mean much and just fight for a greater presence in quantitative terms and in terms of different "planning" political, economic, social and cultural ethics of the report from (the truth gets in the dialogue) as a deeply secular ethics, which coincides with the live "good" as "respect for otherness" with men, with women and with all living beings, because it usually means have a look of mutual recognition as the vulnerability in which we all go, we need each other because of custody, even when we are called in front of others and responsibility to others and never in our time remind us of Paul Ricoeur souffrance (pain as participation in the finitude of others) or empathy Edith Stein means to stand up and say for example that the logic of punishment, and security-militaristic (these days the indecent and fascist militarizzazzazione cities) are not an answer in the direction we want to indicate

We want to finally say that we must be able to join and involve all networks and political practices that women are the protagonists of many years, starting from the real problems of existence: the migration, the comparison between people of different cultures, mutely living conditions and personal choices in matters of sexuality and coexistence, the new forms of violence and exclusion to which rarely know the institutional policies to address their gaze.
This we believe to be one of the clear mandate has been given of the structure of government of this city from our constituents, but also by those who care the rights of citizenship and who is more difficult to live. The other mandates will report my colleague Fred Pirone.

Mysterious Pain In Foot

"new face of politics"

Today Thursday, June 12 Messaggero Veneto came out on the half-page interview with the undersigned and as always, the visa holder is not the time to place quite a provocative headline:

"Participate in risk apportionment"

Anna Paola Peratoner: l ' hypothesis is true, but there will assist helpless

....... the usual way to make the case, the controversy free, the desire to create conflicts even if there are ... because if you read the interview, however, as all interviews with a total reduction of the complexity of speeches made, I talked to some of my willingness to take a clear position when there will be a member of the Boards of Directors of the subsidiaries and all entities or consortia in which the municipality Udine will be entitled to put his men and women of reference, but I said much more, without ever referring to Udine, come to this, in this majority.

I only feared a possible scenario in which we used for years without anybody saying anything to the contrary ...

What would I like? To begin with all municipal councils, which have the jurisdiction to amend the regulations approved by them, introduced for the nomination and designation of representatives of government institutions at municipal, municipal-owned companies, companies and institutions an article incompatibility, with this content:

" are incompatible with any appointment all community leaders (mayor, councilors, city councilors) and their relatives within the third degree of kinship.

are also incompatible with any appointment all secretaries and / or responsible party and their relatives within the third degree of kinship. "

At a time of difficulty and crisis of politics, endorse or support political divisions do not help to recall the relationship trust with citizens.

E 'need for me to introduce the concept of meritocracy, which until now continues to be only announced but never put into practice and policy must be aware of this taking decisions that go in the direction of a ' accountability and consistency with a political plan high, which go and see who might be able to ensure that design on the political management of common resources (water, energy, public spaces, culture, entertainment, ...) should put the interest of the community center and not the government of the moment .

Beyond the political affiliations, we can not continue to pursue the policy based on nominations decided to close the party or an individual Councillor or Party ...

This is my thought!

The silence and the words ... News from City

Sorry for the long silence of these days, but these are the days when, as he said very well Marco Revelli in an editorial on Manifesto last week, even the word, the one I use and many use it to denounce, indignant screaming in the silence of our politically correct society in which they seem to win the Italian entrepreneurs of fear and racism ... well, the word seems to have lost its strength ...

"The word itself, more immediately, the act of saying it - that same word, the same writing and reporting - is useless and helpless. I say this with despair risk ridicule, in the solitude of its delivery. Submerged the buzz of a distracted majority committed elsewhere. If we continue to talk, to tell, to complain, to protest, to dissociate and rail, is in some way "for future reference." Because the surface of the sea that has closed above us remains choppy, not appeased, restless. And because the members of this small tribe gathered here, in fact, they can not do otherwise than this way: continuing to oppose it. With awareness, this new so painfully, that not will probably find the value of their work in an immediate result. In a political solution in the short term, at a time when politics has become herself, and winds and twists, denying in its actions the reasons for the final day, and high, one's own existence. that have to work long term, without illusions, no hope and no shortcuts or gimmicks tactical . Knowing why, without wondering when. "

I feel in the Gramscian pessimism of reason and optimism of the will, but because in fact I still have grounds for optimism hope ... otherwise have been lost !.... are missing due to personal and collective well because I see signs of awakening from the torpor in which many had fallen asleep, not necessarily for selfish reasons and for a quiet life, but also because it caught in a difficult everyday, lived in the uncertainties of the times and spaces, in the working lives of poor or continuously "bent" and disappointed ...

.... in fact I see people that despite all the toil of daily life teach me that only by bringing into play and making great struggles of small, even daily, you can say you have done all you could do that!

.... but I also see people who silently, disinterested in doing, in a gesture of generosity can tell me much more than great speeches, great words and great revolutions ...

I always believe in the necessity of more existential and vital to recover the value of doing and be silent than to say that the ... I think the only way we will recover the true meaning of life, that little by little we are losing, in a country paranoid, envy, ready to give up any semblance of democracy in the name of the security myth (which, of course, will never achieve), hinged on risky ghosts of the "territory" and identity, new icons, the red flags raging bull, a thoughtless congregation subservient to political and media stir daily.

Like all entrepreneurs, those of fear and racism are reaping their profits in the form of general consensus. But the game is dangerous for all, who knows if they know it. A baby
gang (the Italian) was discovered Bollate, Milan and another (in Italian) has destroyed a building in turin, in a robbery (made by Italians) in a post office in Pagani, Salerno, a policeman died, was raped again in Milan (from Italian) a young Moroccan. There are four reports in the news these days. Which have found space in the newspaper of reference of zero tolerance, shoot that well on the front page crime news with non-EU players? Readers can practice this, make sure of the result.

As for travelers, there is only one name to define what is encouraged in Italy these days: pogrom. Do not want them to school because they are nomads, but if not go to school is a sign that are nomadic, so you do not want to integrate, then we must hunt them. Other women do not want a midwife in the room with them (to give birth to Italian children, because the majority of Roma children are Italian!), But then we complain because you do not have children ...
would be comical if it were not tragic.

Bridges kicked off, but scattered throughout Italy there are many ready to shoot jumpers. Perhaps they thought Mestre, very Venetian in style, only to Schei. They thought only (only?) Not to risk a loss of value of their apartments with the neighborhood, more stable, some houses of the "others". But when entrepreneurs fear and racism have begun to ride the protest, not seemed to accept them and make their real motives and objectives. In Udine I would not say that we are not at risk of incidents such as these, unless we are vigilant and any and all reactive to what is happening or will happen!

good fight, good silence, but especially good work! We need it to be especially good and respectful of the freedom to exist for all and all!

Michael Jackson Doujin

Just to update you on recent events and my upcoming deadlines:

1) Tuesday 20 I was in council to bring the background papers prepared by me on the opening of the Participatory Budget in Udine (will be discussion and negotiations with the Mayor and Councillors, I hope soon) and I have briefly presented, trying to encourage the curiosity of the onlookers ... we hope we have moved some soul ...

2) Monday 26 Conference will be team leaders to discuss the presidency of the Board Committees 6 and I hope will be an opportunity to review progress on the question Volpe Pasini

3) Tuesday 27 birth to Bergamo, where the next day, 28 I have an appointment to "study" of the case Bergamo, because I will meet my "counterpart" advisor to the Participatory Budget is doing a great job and I hope will be a fruitful encounter and bodes well for the work ahead of us in Udine

4) Tuesday, June 3: there should have been, but it skipped the next City Council with a discussion on program guidelines and will most likely be held June 18 and reconfirm the invitation to be there .... I remember the fact that council meetings are open to the public!

Security ... Women

What this rhetoric securitarian unbearable ... discover Council Monday night that our mayor had decided to give a proxy to the Volpe Pasini "relationship with the public safety" was a bitter pill, bitter, especially because imposed without the possibility of the slightest question ... you say to me: but because you have to swallow a mouthful so stodgy?

The recent controversy at the national, regional and even local calls that do not give space to the rhetoric of security but - beware - is always about the security against "different", never to our coincittadini, which can pack rape in a South American girl adopted by a 14 year old Tuscan family and no one really stops to think, it creates a real matter of discussion, of questioning the paradigm of security-which is always different and never the equal of the goat sin ... space is really unbearable that the record provides for the facts that are based upon Roma and foreigners or how little to allow a still picture on the cultural nihilism on ethical relativism that grips our Italian company ...

Back to Volpe Pasini: we met Honsell to dissociate ourselves from him and his choice of the precise demands. Ours was a double dissociation:

1) on the merits: security is not created by giving powers to anyone, much less to people who have distinguished themselves for racist acts and statements, to cultural intolerance against Roma and foreigners ; security creates welcoming, listening, building bridges and relationships, not barriers and hatred, not making matters of public policy, but on the rights of citizenship, social policies that help integrate the knowledge confident and not suspicious ...

2) on method: decisions so "heavy" no longer accept that there are dropped from the top without even the slightest discussion between the leaders of the majority (I'm the leader of the SA and the meeting we had last Friday I was to put a veto on the delegation to Volpe Pasini, who was in the air but no one could say with certainty what would happen-and indeed colleagues from other lists, they declared that they agree with me, at least on the need for Honsell a comparison with the contents of this delegation to try to empty as possible and to try to delay this decision as far as possible)

said, it is clear that we have a responsibility of government and we just started our work council and decide the way the opposition would be political suicide for which - expressed our disagreement - which we will be heard in the Council, if we were to meet again at the next meeting to give reasons for our reasons - we have agreed to bite the bullet after having expressed the intention to mark the close adviser Volpe Pasini and received assurances from the following Honsell:
1) the delegation will be revoked at the first slip on racist or inappropriate political
2) content, so the "boundaries" of the delegation will be discussed at the very least the Board, unless the Conference of leaders.

I find it difficult to accept politically and ethically to know that we will have a loose cannon that is haunting the town, but - as I have told journalists that they called me these days - I have one hope: hope in the possibility of redemption Policy Advisor Volpe Pasini, which - put in a position to be an institutional reference point for citizens in terms of security - can be shown through the relationships that will establish, to be intelligent.

Intelligent people can recognize the their mistakes, they know to treasure it and know how to change direction: this is the only hope that I can make him and us!

Portuguese Wedding Wish

precarious ...

Yesterday, reading - on an article from the "New" weekly to which they subscribe - income (reported) of the directors and Aldermen of the City of Udine dating back to 2005 I had a start ... you'll wonder why ...

Well, putting together directors and advisors, I appears to be the poorest of all (along with Arpino, director of minority) and Kristian Franzil the richest ... but this is not the reason for my start, because - as you say - mean that it's all my desire ... no, absolutely not, I believe to be much better than many others, only that the tremor is related to my history, I would like to give you some hints, because I think you could understand me more than it has already been written in these pages ...

In March 2005 gives birth to a beautiful little baby who gives joy to this day my life and that of my husband and two months after his birth I find myself discussing my thesis and then to complete my 3 years of search, during which he won-the-spot without a scholarship I had arrabattata with jobs and funding research projects which I had laboriously acquired - I worked really, not least winning the scholarship (won a contract with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) which had allowed me to spend a year in the archives of the League of Nations (the UN) in Geneva, Switzerland.

Well, in June 2005, by a research grant "promised" by my tutor as well as research professor, were eager to make at least short-term programs on my future career, and looks a bit '- grants research is obtained from prof. but is given to another person (maschio!), evidently on the waiting list longer than me (alas, it works !)...

then I find myself with a creature of a few months, absolutely unavailable to wait for "my turn" to some place no one knows how and when and then I decide that I had to get a job "x" ... just grab a woman with needs of nursing and so on. etc..? Provo

a competition for administrative cat. C (So stop my qualifications as a graduate) at the University of Udine, in time and qualify, but not among the first on the list, and then after a few months and I forget until the age of 1 year of age My son (March 2006 ) my job is basically look for a job and take care of my son ...

Then there were the months with chores on an hourly, as a teacher of history and civic education in training institutions and little else, until I became, in June 2006 , coordinator of the URBAL project, co-ordination (salary co.co.pro in a net of € 800-900 per month) that I left in May 2007 why - look at the jokes of life - are called by the University following the contest above did in 2005.

At that point I am confronted with an important choice, I suffered a lot:
1) choose passion until December 2007 (date of expiry of my contract with the City of Udine) but then start to look for a work
2) choose the sense of reality , telling me that a fixed-term contract (for the first time in my life ... because until then I had only checks or contracts in co.co.co / pro) was still a less precarious co.co.pro

I chose the second option and today, 2008, are administered in a University Department with a net salary of 1,000 per month / € 1,100 and a contract expiring in one year exactly that I will almost for sure will not be renewed, for lack of funds. I do the administrative and accounting: I never thought - saw my path - I could do this kind of work, but it is what gives me something to eat and I think I can offer a valuable service even from this position. ..

Only you wonder why a woman who makes the choice to have children who do not agree to "wait turn ", to the racks, no one, to assert his dignity as a woman and a person who has acquired skills and believes he can make a contribution to our society is so hard to pay their own choices in the face of men, because in my life have always been men who have "obtained" the place that could have been mine, men who know nothing of the problems of a family, a job to "keep" close though it is not "your"? Why is it so hard for us women to get recognition (including economic) of our responsibilities? Why the precariousness of our generation is mainly "woman"??

She called me ...

The day before yesterday evening I received a phone call Honsell, who apologized for not being able to give me an appointment, but he could not even give it to me this week. I was still invited to do so and I am preparing a document that will present at the first meeting of the Board, Tuesday 20, which invited me to go just to make a brief announcement on the project of the Participatory Budget.

I told him that it was necessary to make the point now, because all the advisors knew as soon as possible what to expect and how the Participatory Budget will cover each of them, or at least a portion of their budget department ...

We hope to be effective and especially being able to convince them a bit 'of the goodness of the project at a time!

There is a time for ...

I know that is not "appropriate" for a blogger to publish articles and thoughts of others, but after the events that I have ruined many days and many sleepless nights spent because of the gratuitous violence of the many comments that have been poisoned on this blog as well as the famous night that gave rise to the whole controversy in journalism and politics, I preferred to try to give voice to "others", assuming that if you would publish them on the understanding that they share content.

With this post I do not intend to deny this "strategy" of communication, because it will hold the other case, we present thoughts shared, but only tell you that if I dropped my presence on my blog is only because there is a time for everything:
- there is a time to cause

Rome, shatters the Rainbow Left
After Alemanno's victory, goes haywire even the "political laboratory" of municipalities. War between the PRC and the Greens, which could exit all the joints and make themselves a group apart the Province
E. But

afresh from the territories. Yes, but to fight. It seems that the only lesson learned from the left after the bitter election defeat. In Rome, in particular, where the beating was twofold for election as mayor Gianni Alemanno, the first immediate result is already visible: the implosion of the Rainbow Left.
And perhaps no coincidence that the explosion took place just at the trial of local, in the eleven municipalities of Rome (the nineteen total) where he won the center-left coalition, and the Province. So if
combat knife for the allocation of departments blocking the formation of the new city council, hot magma was still covered by the ash, the presentation of the new team to the provincial government of democratic Nicola Zingaretti has acted as a detonator. The Greens accused the PRC have contracted with the Democratic Party without their knowledge to replace the personal political now unemployed. We have the appointment of Cecilia D'Elia to Provincial Councillor for Culture. And the former Greens Senator Loredana De Petris, which could be the alternative candidate papabile, slams the door and announced on behalf of the party: "The Rainbow Left in Rome no longer exists: we recover our autonomy."

But it is the autonomy of the local realities of Municipalities for example, the critical point of this phase of the left. "There's always been the attempt to govern the territory through centralized agreements - says Sandro Medici, president of the Municipality elected by X Sinarca - which had to throw the balance of power until the last little corner." And now, having been sorely limited places available, the pressure from the top down have become overwhelming. " Our parties are unable to think about the reasons for defeat and how to share - Doctors continues - and there is only a trivial distribution of small powers, which are becoming smaller .

Thus, as the Democratic Party has laid down its rules - if the president is democratic, one of four municipal councilors can go to Sinarca, otherwise they all go to the Democratic Party - and because they are rules that do not go down to anyone, "the central table 'is not reconvened, and the formation of the joint is locked.

Sandro Medici but its proposal has been submitted and is waiting for a response. "I have chosen on the basis of three criteria :
1) encourage the competent persons;
2) those who have acquired experience in the area, grew up in the movements, parties or in cooperation, but always at the local level
3) and reject the logic of the revolving doors. " That translated into a language less noble means "do not accept the trumpet."

Responds Massimiliano Emery, coordinator of the PRC and Roman neo Labour Councillor for the Province, " must respect the balance between political forces, but also the justifiable demand for autonomy of the municipalities . I share that opinion his two colleagues, Richard Green and Massimo Mastrorillo Cervellini Democratic Left. Both argue that if the calculation of the seats should be set centrally and by mutual agreement, the choice of the people but it is the president of City Hall. On the other hand, points out Mastrorillo, including the nominations of Presidents are chosen in a table Central. The coordinator of the Green accused of having imposed, however, the PRC, in agreement with the Democratic Party, even the name, loser, Francesco Rutelli. "We have never proposed Loredana De Petris for the Province, and we believed the unity of the left. But we do not tolerate the abuse of logic. "

The Greens have already decided to group themselves in the Provincial Council, and are now discussing how to get out also by the city council. "It is the crisis of Rome on decentralization - Cervellini says -, the processes of autonomy, in recent years had stalled. What happens now is the result of centralization of decision-making Veltroni. And the tummy are amplified if Then there is the center Alemanno. But it is also the end of the project Sinarca, at least as was previously thought. "You have to think first unit and the renovation of the Left, and not just for the elections - said the coordinator of the Roman Sd - now requires a rethinking of the electoral defeat, even if the path of policy must go on. But starting over from the choices in the territory. "

Feel Like Bruise On Head

From the "Manifesto" of May 7, 2008

there and do or die left
Mauro Bulgarelli

I would not be overly pessimistic, but the next day after the Italian parliamentary promises to do more damage than those that led to his liquefaction election. Of course I have respect for all those attempts, however dimly, are intended to shore up the debris produced by the vote of April, but I can not detect as they are, for the moment, completely internal to that political class which has enormous responsibility in the disaster that has wiped out. (...)

should instead, take note of the irrevocable locking of a cycle, which has not been determined by the "cynical election designs of the PD" - as someone called them - but inadequate and short-sightedness of a already largely left in crisis after a horrible season and instead of government to get involved in the territories has taken the dead end of survival at all costs of its political classes.

no use denying it: The Left Rainbow has arrived without leaving the elections in the two previous years, the slightest impression governmental action and, nevertheless, claimed that their voters would recognize, perhaps to an extent less, credibility and consensus. (...) It would take too long to retrace the steps of this trend but it is a fact that social actors have learned to walk very well on its own feet and said in a brutal manner, to trust only themselves.

signals were already clear: the Susa Valley in Vicenza was apparent that there was no institutional space for the left who aspired to be the interface parliamentary parasitic movements and at the same time, their integral part "of law."

And now these social actors have decided to 'go it alone, "finding no trace of leftist parties in the many battles that lead to their territories against the incinerators, the garbage, high speed, military bases, for defense of common goods, home, workplace.

This multitude of actors, individual and collective, forming committees, gives rise to principals, pacts, Autoconvocate events, communicating through channels - sometimes through language- inaccessible to us - decided to use the institutions and administrative deadlines as a window of visibility for their battles and their needs, reporting election results more than flattering the last year in Sardinia, a civil list, "Viva Alghero ', has managed to exceed 5 per cent despite the disastrous collapse of the whole of the center. (...) In the last municipal elections, the list "Vicenza free," born within the movement, "No Dal Molin," has reached the same percentage, getting twice the votes of the Left Rainbow, and has been instrumental in ballot, for the victory "historic" candidate of the center- Achille Variati, schieratosi against the new U.S. base. And where the movements have decided not to create their own lists, and chose the way of abstention, which resulted in the resetting of the institutional left.

Hence my skepticism about the day after. The left does not need to change clothes but political substance, to decentralize and relocate, to relate instances from the territories and communities but also to question estrangement, hostility against this latest manifestation of political parties and institutions .

If a crisis of representation is now in full maturity, you must be aware that, as the left we also part of the problem not the solution. (...)

Therefore, if a constituent phase a new left still has a chance, it must be played in the territories on major social and environmental issues must be based on listening, confrontation, cooperation, conflict, should adopt as a tool for dialogue and horizontal construction Autoconvocate territorial assemblies open to civil society, and may not have the port yet another remake of parties that are nothing more than simple containers of tiles to be used for internal conflicts.

policy in the territories, is measured on the 'do' on 'there. " When this not the case, representative democracy dies, so choose the defensive, choose the representation that is against democracy.

Meaning Of Cutting Of Wedding Cake

From the Charter of April 24, 2008

Another policy
[PAPER - April 24, 2008]
publish a text that is not a call nor a document, a letter, that many people have thought it useful to write, correct, rewrite and amend or simply share. Everything was done in a few days last week. We felt an urgent need: to suggest that, in the face of what is falling on us citizens, communities, civil society movements or [everyone who wants to use the term], there the possibility not only to resist but to begin to establish immediately a different kind of politics. This is nothing new, this conviction. Months ago, was issued an appeal titled "The policy that we ", signed by many people from civil society, which then gave rise to the Lilliput network workshop on the same subject was held on April 5, the same day that the Charter Shipyards and the association organized the Social Construction of the other political. Paolo Cacciari E , who had attended both meetings, then wrote the first draft of the letter we publish. Movements such as the Val di Susa and Vicenza are already in our opinion - the germ - this other policy. But there are many other ways to try the same thing. The letter was in fact proposed by different people together. There are researchers, intellectual assets, so to speak, as Marco Revelli, Riccardo Petrella , Tonino Perna and Bruno Amoroso . The same Giulio Marcon is an analyst of international cooperation and civil society, besides being the chairman of the Network Sbilanciamoci. Then there are the Susa Sasso Chiara, Claudio Day and Ezio Bertok [who cares for the site of the pact of mutual aid]. Network Lilliput part Alberto Castagnola and Richard Troisi, and cooperate with them on this and other issues, Antonio Tricarico and Andrea Baranes the Campaign to Reform the World Bank. Promoter of the other networks economy is David Biolghini while Alberto Zoratti, was also active in the trade fair, has built an observatory on world trade [Watch Fair, working every week with the Charter]. Sergio D'Angelo, a Neapolitan, is the president of a large consortium of social co-Gesch. Water movement is part of the Tuscan Tommaso Fattori, and the World Water Contract Emilio Molinari . Cyrus Pesacane is the promoter of the Environmental Forum, Gianni Tamino is a teacher and environmentalist, and Gianni Palumbo movement is "No Oil" of Basilicata [among other things]. To discuss with us Ciccio Auletta and Sergio Bontempelli , Project Rebeldía of Pisa, extraordinary 'home associations. " Giuseppe De Marzo Association is in the south and Mimmo Rizzuti Left Mediterranean. Dear Don Pasquale is the pastor of Sorrivoli [in the province of Forlì-Cesena] and Savadori Mino is the president of the cultural 'The Castle', Cesena Network civil society organizations. No Tav [the threatened "under crossing" of the city] is also the Florentine Zordo Maurizio De while Cristiano Lucchi is the monthly "The other cities', very close to the communities of Piagge, and of course Ornella De Zordo and councilmen in Florence Unaltracittà / unaltromondo. To work around our letter has obviously helped those of the Charter, particularly Anna Pizzo and Pierluigi On and Morniroli Andrea, president of the shipyard industry, and Sergio Sinigaglia, Cantieri social Marche. Having more days available, this list could get longer in proportion. Several chose to take some time to reflect, and tell them in future issues of paper and elsewhere, and it will all end at the site of the Charter and other areas. We felt it necessary to launch immediately a signal, but the letter is intended to be an open work, whose writing is so progressive and collective, to which anyone can contribute, either by writing to carta@carta.org [address denoted for convenience, to have a only place from which to sort the communications], that by participating in meetings that we propose in the letter.

Another policy

A premise
We are in a serious moment of collective life. That not only has its roots in the events of politics, the latest elections, but in an in-depth breakdown of the social bond. Here we want to make a simulation game: tell us, and say in public, as we imagine to be another world, and how you might try to do so. This text contains a hint: look ahead to better understand how to tackle today.

Two claims
1. promote political action from below , a condition of citizenship entirely interwoven with social ties, pluralistic, global, with an overall vision and is able to propose a social system free from the dominant economic logic. Stating that the policy that we want, our ability to be society. We are all politicians, all we do is political.
2. There is a complex and widespread galaxy social action groups, associations, collectives, networks, people's committees, trade unions, community substantial constituents, which form rings of national and transnational networks of solidarity, instances of resistance, other economy , spread of democracy. Now you can become aware of the positive force that this particular "civil society" expresses, network and strengthen the culture of thinking in a collective process self-government, public space-or, perhaps, would be better to call it from now on a "common space" where-can be offered, compare and share experiences and practices. A political pact open, inclusive, a real widespread system of self-representation, capable of contending for the powers that be a monopoly of political decision. A truly joint force capable of producing in their day to day trading and processing.

Five Pillars

1. idea of \u200b\u200bsociety so worthwhile endeavors. E 'possible to imagine a world that the future is friendly, fair, non-violent. Only a forward-looking policy can give comfort and tranquility: the "profitability" in short, the unlimited exploitation of nature and society leading to global inequality and environmental disaster. The design of good society is to live together. The common good is not the arithmetic sum of private property owned by individual members of society and poorly redistributed, but the shared enjoyment of the commons: space, air, sea, water, forests, energy, knowledge, education, communication, security, justice , health, work ... Its realization requires, indeed demands, the use of media-friendly and compatible with the objective, that means strictly nonviolent.
2. The economics of reciprocity. E 'that everyone can regain control of the circumstances that govern their daily life. you can overcome the discomfort, insecurity, anxiety that every honest person feels because of the growing hostility between the governments of many countries [population] of the Earth, degradation of the biosphere and social disasters caused by rising prices food and raw materials. The conquest of freedom by the needs of each individual is the basic precondition for an authentic existence and effective exercise of democracy. Freedom, first of all, it must be freedom from conditioning and blackmail. Globalization is done in the name of profit, competition, market. The global community however is reached by following the principles of reciprocity, cooperation and sharing. Neoclassical economics and liberal economics ecological liar by the myth of infinite growth to sobriety, from the imperative of competitiveness in the supportive cooperation.
3. Wisdom is knowing how to predict . E 'can rely on the knowledge and experience the cultures of peoples have accumulated to improve the conditions of each and all the inhabitants of Earth. The technique, science, intelligence must be able to foresee, and therefore must comply with the precautionary principle. Technical resources, scientific knowledge, the same financial resources available to humanity would be enough to bring out the entire human race from poverty. If this does not happen today is due to the prevalence of economic logic and predatory and selfish short-sighted political will and suicide. The great theme of a new modernity and social control on scientific research and technologies in a renewed relationship with the real needs of local communities.
4. A happy relationship between people, between cities and people . It 'possible that many people - ordinary people engage in citizen- the way to improve social relations between genders, generations, nations and species. You can redesign cities and welcoming community, safe as bonds and relationships based on proximity and coexistence, in which each individual is recognized primarily for his needs and desires. In an interconnected and interdependent world peace and security are not divisible. Nobody will be safe, even if build walls, if so are its neighbors and neighbors of neighbors. Sharing, reciprocity, cooperation, recognition of ecological debt, human and economic contracts by the North towards the people of the South are the guiding principles to be followed by reports international. Our cities are increasingly the places of exclusion, of identity based on cancellation of those of other, non-citizens, competitors increasingly lonely, sad. City where the anomalies are the last, different, who does not approve. Should reverse this machine to separate, suggesting universes - and political - are open to intermarriage, cooperation.
5. A democracy radically different . E 'possible to regenerate the policy as a voluntary civil action for a collective service. Only civil ethics can give way to politics. Ethics in politics is a system of values \u200b\u200bchosen and shared. Representations [albeit minimal physiological and adjusted so that freedom of conscience of the "delegate-elect," and a binding mandate always be transparent and verifiable] are needed in practice conflicted democracy / participation. Hence the inescapable need to secure forms of political organization, as well as riallargare policy space through direct and participatory forms of democracy. Must invent a model radically different from that, so far known, political parties, from the birth of parliamentary democracy today. Their form has finally run out. The culture of the network, horizontality, autonomy of the nodes, the method sharing, consensus, within the EU and national co-decision, all with the aim of empowering communities, are the great innovation and strength of social movements. Knowing that it's just so - and freeing up space for federated growing community - which makes room for a real alternative. However, it should be clear that "he who says organization says oligarchy", and it is therefore necessary to provide strong countermeasures against all risks of centralization, vertical, bureaucratic, self-separation. One form of other policy with this in mind, so radically from those of the new century, can be a prerequisite for the construction of a new democracy, based primarily on "river" where people, communities, form, live and act: the cities and territories, whose "scale" larger than to the effectiveness of control ' Delegates, it is likely that sub-regional level. This in turn suggests the urgent problem of connections, constraints, alliances, coordination between political organizations and institutions of a new type from one place to another, in mobile and variable: up to propose to influence European and global choices. Experiences of this kind already exist, both at local, national and supranational Pact of mutual aid such as the movement of migrants and feminists and lesbians, or that GLBTQ, but also the movement of water, the 'peoples' socio-economic partnership, the new networks of shop stewards, etc.. This is not to invent anything, but to draw lessons from what is already happening in society and make it consistent and effective.

The Republic translated into the language of today
This letter is a cry of alarm. Try to imagine the future is the indispensable foundation to organize resistance to what already promises, considering the consequences that will result-election as an attack on civil society, its organizations, its values, workers and the union, migrants and the very possibility of a civil society. The evident crisis of globalization, the catastrophe of global food and financial collapse are the causes of the transformation of the democratic system, or what's left of it, in a despotism which will retain only the empty forms of citizenship. We must now think and operate new forms of self-organization, process networks in active instruments of exchange of experiences, mutual support and mobilization. We must be willing to experiment with new forms of organization and decision. What I suggest is that now any person or group that wants to resist this tide will meet, as openly as possible, in as many places possible, in close relationship with each other and that moves around them, to discuss immediately, setting aside the mistrust and deepening mutual understanding, the way to establish new forms of political organization. If we all move well, you can arrange to June 2, Republic Day and the Constitution, which has long turned into a celebration of a nation in arms, a great first national meeting in which to begin to compare the proposals emerging from the thematic clusters and local networks. What a beautiful
