Rodotà: "An error dialogue. Berlusconi is now isolated "

"We're to the point: after almost closed the parliament, after reducing the Council of Ministers to a business committee of the President of the Council here that Berlusconi announced the suspension of constitutional rights. Why is this the meaning of the attack on the institutions to guarantee. " Stefano Rodota says with concern yesterday to the words of Silvio Berlusconi. He added: "Someone told me that I had been excessive to write that in Italy there was the danger that the state constitutional right but that's exactly what's going on. In the culture of Berlusconi is not democracy. He is a master of the ironworks with the ability to identify the public interest with his personal interest. "

The interest and the general will, Berlusconi said, was manifested at the time of the vote. Should be left to govern.

The popular vote does not dissolve the observance of the law. It is a basic postulate of the rule of law. Conversely we must speak of the absolute monarchical state or which is obviously what has in mind when Berlusconi proposes institutional reforms. So we're careful. For the rider, there are no independent powers. They are automatically opposition. Obsessively communists. Thus, the Constitutional Court becomes a left party but Berlusconi not even know what is the origin of the constitutional judges, if he knew not talk like that. The speech yesterday was clear: either you are with those who won the election and is ahead in the polls or you are out. That's why he says that the era of hypocrisy and moved out of the institutions of warranty.

you see a leap in quality in these attacks? We are at the point of no return?

Is there a repetition effect, this is undeniable. The attacks have already been there, just one year ago Berlusconi launched his lunging against the head of state about the decree to Eluana. This one part is the confirmation of a consolidated approach but on the other is the signal of a serious escalation that will not in any way stop. And so yesterday, after saying a thousand times that we must not denigrate our country, in an institutional abroad has denigrated the best guarantee institutions in the country, the President of the Republic and consultation.

But it thrust him disguised as a defense of the parliament. There they make the laws - he said - and the judges of the Consulta you put across.

The answer is very simple. Rate laws is the job of the Constitutional Court. If it does not betray her mission. Let's just say that the consultation is always moving with great caution and if they are growing opportunities for its action is because there is an escalation in putting aside the Constitution. The Court is not going over the top but the parliament is a constitutional right from the circuit.

Faced with a situation, the Constitution provides a remedy or warranty?

No, there are none because the Constitution was written by people who had democracy in the blood. But now we see the total strangeness to the constitutional dimension. If Berlusconi had any sense of constitutional legality would not say these things.

So what?

At this time all those who have any role in the institutions must take a stand and express public to measure the distance between Considers that the institutions are those who still believe this and that institutions are the heart of democracy. Above all, I say it bluntly, with Berlusconi following this devastating line of institutional politics there can be no dialogue. Need a cordon sanitaire, until now the attitude of the knight and his Pasdaran has been underestimated. Think about the discussion that takes place every time you made a new law, it is really a fact unprecedented. The first concern is, "Napolitano to sign?". And the second: "She overcame the obstacle of the consultation?. There is no better proof than the reference to the Constitution is now out of the parliamentary logic. The majority is a political group as the leader Berlusconi has long ago decided to live on the margins of constitutional legality. I do not mean a risk, I speak of what has already happened.

Freedom of worship

These considerations on freedom of religion were published in the book "The readers' letters" of the Messaggero Veneto, 15 December 2009.

The recent results of the Swiss referendum on the block the building of minarets, the controversy over Islamic cemetery in Udine and the Strasbourg ruling on the crucifix are all expressions of unacceptable violations of religious freedom, a right enshrined in our Constitution. When there is no respect for others, whoever he is, atheist or believer, Catholic or Muslim, we take a shift of thinking that can lead to the resurgence of xenophobic and racist. Fear and ignorance eventually prevail on tolerance, respect and interaction, understanding as reciprocity between people and cultures without dominance, which determines the "growth" of each. Much more, therefore, that the integration of immigrants adapting to culture and environment that welcomes giving up part of its identity. The enrichment comes from the free flow of ideas not dall'arroccarsi positions of intransigence and of prominence. But how is it that some people take upon themselves the right to impose on others, with arrogance, his ideas? One can not help but rebel against a similar way of thinking and acting, and one can only fear those who believe they have only certainties. Hazardous those who say one reason: they are neither minimally touched by "virtue of the doubt," the title of an interesting book Zagrebelsky. About the Strasbourg ruling, I think the verdict against the oppressive presence of the crucifix in classrooms and public offices. It's part of our tradition, believers or not, must be respected for what it represents. It would be desirable for many of those who defend him with drawn sword, speak, make their behavior as the home, more consistent with what is taught by Jesus Christ, He migrant. The fundamentalists of any religion have always been harbingers of tragedy. They do not consider religion to the service of all, do not promote the interaction and instead to lower the walls of mistrust, lift us even more. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, but knocked down a wall as many others have been raised, whether real or virtual. History is full of despicable crimes committed in the name of some god. The Egyptian writer Nawal El Saadawi, whose name is on the list of persons sentenced to death by Islamic fundamentalists, has written about the Swiss referendum, "... This vote is a gift to the fanatics who live in war of civilizations and not waiting to say to the Muslim crowd: you have seen, this is the true face of the West crusader. "Khaled Fouad Allam, a Muslim university professor who is was also Italian Parliament, wrote the book "The loneliness of the West." The author, from his position as privileged observer of both worlds, says the West must come to terms with their multiple identities and learn to understand the complexity rather than fight them. No more confrontation, but confrontation, a meeting of diversity and mutual growth. We is not better than to discuss the Islamic cemetery of Udine. But by what rational argument can be denied the right to burial to those who have a different religion. The pity for the dead is universal, because death, as he said Toto is "flush" and we are all in front of her equal and then it was not Jesus Christ say, "Love your neighbor as yourself"?. In this climate so hostile statements do not cause great surprise of some members of the League who would like to propose a referendum in Italy similar to that of Switzerland. This is not a variant of the development plan but a resurgence of xenophobia and racism. They forget, or may not know that a few decades ago, some public places of the Swiss Confederation appeared signs that read 'It is prohibited to enter the dogs and the Italians. "In contrast, however, have always been welcome to capital that many Italians, including the government, and they were smuggled into this tax haven. It 'really a beautiful example to follow!

Redde rationem surveyors Giuseppe Sardelli

scandal waste Minturno justice takes its course and I do not intend to interfere in the recent judicial vicissitudes that involved, at least for the moment, Carmine Viola and Victor Ciummo.

Over the past months I have complied with the order of silence and, consequently, will not go beyond what is already in the public domain.

I will, however, not necessarily of other responsibilities related to the criminal sphere.

Because I am convinced that even the most naive of people have very clear ideas about how things really are gone and that anyone can easily discern from the areas which are only personal liability of individual directors, I will, here, only the political aspects of the story.

Now is the time, after the ritual declaration of esteem of the unfortunate official and ridiculous statements in the press of the "scoinvolto" Sardelli to clarify the position of each director of the City of Minto.

No one can say: I did not know, or say that he had never heard of in landfills and Pantano Irto Parks nor in the locality of perpretate systematic illegality in the management of the service of collecting solid waste.

Two Experiences of theatrical anthropology, Raffaele Chianese and Thomas Romano, have all'oposizione resigned and gone. All committee members have given the well-served Hygiene and President John Baldascino passed in turn to the opposition. Finally, the new Commission President Mario Ruberto has also submitted a lump sum and another exposed to dissociating from the conduct of the judiciary in matters of waste.

The picture is dark colors, no doubt about it.

There is only one place where it should be agreed as soon as possible: the City Council.

Sardelli will have to answer for its actions and explain his conduct before the representatives of the citizens.

This is not the time to hide our heads in the sand, rather we have come to income rationem Mr. Sardelli.

Now someone must take responsibility before the citizens.
