For Italy and for those who misfortune to be passionate about politics is not a good time.
I just finished reading a book sale over the ten years that have rocked Italy, the most, so to speak, between 1989 and 2000 and who saw, in rapid series, the collapse of the Berlin Wall, tangentopolies the end of penta, the disappearance of DC and the subsequent diaspora of the Catholics involved in politics, escape - or exile, depending on your point of view - of Craxi, suicides excellent, the annihilation of an entire ruling class The birth of a second republic (actually, years later, it is reasonable to think that we have wanted coined this term for a huge wash and national consciousness: the Constitutional Charter, in fact, has never been changed, and the only introduction of a different electoral system, rather than proportional majority, was not enough to forge a new and different phase of the state, but the desire to turn the page prevailed over all), the descent in the field of Berlusconi, the so-called post-communist and post-Fascist (to use a simplistic vocabulary late twentieth century) to the government of the nation, the advance of the League, the entry into the euro.
Everything starts with the popular revulsion for a corrupt system and extorted (as appropriate): Italians felt betrayed by a political class that, in their eyes, had actually exceeded the bounds of decency. There
people more willing to forgive the ours, but there also people ready to mass executions as the Italian one: we all knew that our politicians were not immune from defects, however, were forgiven for various reasons, Italy quiet life, to the fact that dominant, in 80s, there were a wealth and a widespread belief in the future that were able to quell more than a few bad mood.
the wall collapsed, and with it a whole system: from there it changed the history of Europe and Italy.
The intangibility of a system was overthrown in a single night in November, be prepared to change (almost) all Italian politicians. What followed was only the beginning of a revolution white.
Ten years from those facts, what has changed?
When it comes to dual-chamber, reference is made, in order: a) a few houses donated / loaned / bought by friends and relatives to politicians, b) some secret chamber of the residences of the prime minister, c) a legend of the mid- 90.
If someone, by mistake, or speak of semi-presidentialism is fixed like a monster (in the Latin term).
Speaking of welfare, there are those who look at the atlas looking for this strange nation from the Italian name (it will be translated? Maybe it was in the USSR and is now an autonomous republic).
Sense of the state and respect for institutions increasingly resemble the stories of another era ... geology, not politics.
This general collapse has added a further problem, namely the balance between the various powers of the state is far more precarious than in the past without immunity, judicial and legislative / executive are perpetually against one another armed. Remember
ended as the last Prodi government? It 'strange that Berlusconi has never fallen (so far) to the many inquiries about him, while the center has gone to his house to investigate a Minister (coincidentally, Justice, and Forget for a moment that it was Mastella, then recycled in the PDL ...). What does all
what?
First, which, as mentioned, the relationship between the powers of the state is far from being balanced: I do not know who and when is there after Berlusconi, what I know is that the conflict will persist much longer, with serious harm to everyone.
It 's almost superfluous to say that the institutional war between the premier and does not encourage the judiciary to create a basis for reform is absolutely necessary, of justice and duty to tell the truth of truth, it should be noted that this reform is not blessed never been realized even by the center-left governments that have followed over the years (which, incidentally, would have had the opportunity to resolve the notorious problem of Berlusconi's conflict of interest, but never let the facts follow the words: all are able to preach, but when it comes to realize are painful to everyone, especially the left).
Secondly, it is now easy to accuse Berlusconi of all the ills of this country, but this is far too simple and autogiustificatorio.
The point is that, in recent years, our drugged minds were temporarily and, as good Italians, we have passively accepted the distortions of a system that has undermined the principles of meritocracy and accountability, celebrating the triumph of appearances on being : after all, our interests were not jeopardized, so it was not worth to intervene.
I also feel like not doing enough to stop this trend and, in my small way, I feel the responsibility for having allowed the overcoming of the twentieth century ideologies are changing not only in an ongoing clash between political blocs, but also a real its referendum on a person to us, in fact, rather than alternating democracy is more appropriate to speak, I will pass the neologism of the insult to democracy (the result of the portmanteau between insult and alternation), where a part is evil and the other good, in a Manichean tone color worthy of a better fate.
Nevertheless, it is still possible to reverse this trend.
Italians have extraordinary resources have the ability to bring out the best from themselves, even when all seems lost or irreparably compromised, but someone has to take the honor, today ungrateful, to awaken from the torpor in which they fell.
time of awakening has arrived, the 150th anniversary of the unity of Italy must rediscover those values \u200b\u200bthat have made us a great nation, despite all our contradictions and our flaws.
Italy came to join and it's time that the Italians will prove worthy of their nation and of all the great who made history through the centuries, or indeed the future that promises to be worse than this already This sad.
