ROME - "The party of light Veltroni failed. It has become the party Aldermen, which is why it is permeable to economic powers. " Fausto Bertinotti explains the issue moral Pd.
Bertinotti President, we are faced with a new Tangentopoli, which hits the PD, or they are individual instances of corruption and malfeasance?
"We are facing a systemic crisis. Invests the Democratic Party simply for the reason that the Democratic Party, contrary to what most people think, is the cutting edge of innovation. And it is a certain innovation our system the root cause of what is happening. "
But it's like in '92?
"The Tangentopoli that time and events of today are different phenomena, two wrong answers to the crisis of the First Republic. The Tangentopoli of '92 is photographed from the analysis of Berlinguer. I started to save themselves occupy all engulf the state. Craxi, in his call to the Chamber of Correa says: I did it to save the party. That of course does not fight more in the name of ideals, but they try to survive through an increase of their power. "
The Tangentopoli today?
" It 's almost the opposite. Parties become party leader and dissolve. In PDL, Berlusconi "Machiavelli," as they say in my part to understand Machiavellian holds together the party's leader and the individual political forces, such as the League and An. The Democratic Party instead, in this sense the most innovative, is the party leader in a fluid state, as Bauman would say. But the dissolution of the party gives rise to what? The local potentates. Without a real oligarchic structure at the center, frail, leaning on the mayors. Under the party's local leader here is so powerful. The center of gravity of power has shifted here. Command administrators.
But because the location "below" should be a vehicle for corruption?
"Not per se, but is mixed with other factors causing the explosion. Meanwhile, a reversal of ethics Constituent: controls on the political economy today, which is always under slap, tends to be acceptable to large banks, builders, property developers, to the powerful. "
This phenomenon is not new ...
"add the last element: a real counter the institutional framework. Parliament is emptied from the government but is still nothing compared to what happened at the local level. The city councils literally do not count anymore. The joints are a set of advisors with sovereign power. Each commissioner is out of control: a proxy by the mayor, who can only act on things on which he is, and does not respond effectively to the city council. The local power centers have become so irresponsible democratically. Called to deal with public services are now privatized ...".
services were often costly and inefficient.
"Do not deny it. But when the hospital canteen was an internal, not subcontract, the relationship between business and politics was closed to the mountain. The same may hold, say, the laundries of hospitals. Or for the cemeteries, which are no longer places of worship but of business. All this while they are less public functions. "
In what sense?
" Why it became so cumbersome weight of builders and property developers? But because the city plans, the public role and then undergo a review through what is known urbanism contracted. The public authority shall enter into a systematic bargaining with individuals, I give you part of the territory and you make me work. A similar reasoning can be done to the incinerators. So it is wide open to the discretion of the road. No coincidence that none of the episodes emerged about the illegal financing of political parties but the direct exchange between a manager political and administrative power has an economic entity. "
The party assessors then acts only for himself.
" But it is an organization of electoral support, which is the focal point of the new party light. Lacks the force of the oligarchy, and without the power of mass pressure, the party has the light fixed star win the election. Votes non olet. Olet What does the local potentate, that "fencing" the party. For this reason, the incentive to "clean up" as sacrosanct, I fear it is ineffective. To clean, you have to put his hand in that system. Take a rotten apple and rot other ten. The infection is environmental. Politics can not be delegated to the judiciary. "
facing two ways to face the storm, see Naples. Iervolino The mayor vowed on his honesty, the junta reshuffles and goes on. Italy of Values carpet out from all the joints of Campania.
"It depends on the level of investigation, but there are cases where not do it anyway. On the morality of Iervolino are ready to put my hand on fire, but exceeded a threshold there is a problem is perceived as a political act in a city, in an area. Do not give in to populism, but nothing you can find the word, and sometimes you just have to do a complete break, and the vote. Maybe you want to come back. That said, I think, however, that we should start from the very small to arrive at. "
From the top of Pd.
" should reopen the debate on the forms of democracy in the territory. For example, certain great works deserve the scrutiny of a referendum. The other issue is entirely political. "
What is this?
" It 's time to reinvent the democratic parties, mass and weight. The moral question should be seized as an opportunity for reform, which concerns the meantime left. If the Democratic Party is involved, instead of being offended should look at root causes and think of a real big bang. Because today in Italy in the political fight left there, and the party turned out to be modern light exposed to risks to which the old Communist Party, with all its limitations, was immune. Let us assume that a cycle has failed, without blaming anyone. Need a new beginning, in which all should be available.
