With Di Pietro, to make the damper
Two years ago I voted for Italy of Values, mainly because my candidate Piedmont Franca Rame, extraordinary person that I am happy to have contributed to send to the Senate. I guess I'll be back once again to vote for the party of Antonio Di Pietro, which among other things white or convicted or under investigation.
know the objections of critics: the management of the house and personalistic party, from which many have fallen away, the fall in style to take the party to rent a home in a building owned by the Di Pietro's candidacy characters as Sergio De Gregorio and Federica Rossi Gasparrini, promptly released after a few months dall'Idv election, the membership of Peter, as minister of infrastructure, the project of the TAV in Val Susa for the goods (even talking to the people and discussing a possible new route, an alternative to the infamous "hole" from 54 km to Venaus), the decision not to close the Strait of Messina company, despite the opposition emphasized during the bridge project, the rejection of the parliamentary committee of inquiry into the facts of the G8 (in my sacrosanct, because parliamentary committees in Italy serve to muddy the waters and hinder the investigation of the judiciary, but clumsily motivated with a request to investigate also the violence of the black bloc, though the parliament had to deal with crimes of ordinary citizens).
To be clear: much more willingly would vote for a De Gasperi, Einaudi, or revived. But, waiting for someone reborn like that and be able to enter politics, I think the abstention - which have long been tried - end up playing into the hands of caste, even the clan. The non-voting, although massive, is not held in low regard by party politics: even if voters were three in all, the parties shall divide them in proportion to determine winners and losers. And never mind the absent are always wrong in the end. So I think we should be realistic, not voting the "lesser evil", but what you feel less distant from their own desires.
to convince me to vote for the IDV are lists that made Di Pietro, home to many people of value, some of them are my friends, of Micromega girotondi and of those who fought in these battles for the year law and freedom of information. I will mention a few. There
Beppe Giulietti, leader of the association Article 21 against censorship and purge, then downloaded from the Democratic Party that he preferred even Marco Follini, former secretary of the UDC and the former deputy of Berlusconi, as head of Information: that Follini who voted for all the shameful laws, including the Gasparri which is the main obstacle to freedom of information. There
Pancho Pardi, I met the first time Palavobis, then all girotondi and I hope to meet again when - if, as I fear, rivincerà Berlusconi - we'll get back to the streets. There
Baroness Teresa Cordopatri, symbol of the fight against the 'Ndrangheta in Calabria.
There is, in Naples, a mayor anticamorra as Franco Barbato, who has played in the draft national civic list along with many other friends. There
Leoluca Orlando, who as a mafia are unparalleled.
There are, on the other hand, some questionable characters who had approached all'Idv, and which were dismissed or not re-nominated. And then there would also Beppe Lumia and Nando Dalla Chiesa, which Di Pietro had offered a place in his list in Sicily after the ouster of (the former provisional in the final seconds) than those of Pd, in contrast, host factors such as Mirella Crisafulli, a friend of the boss of Enna: in the end, thanks all'Idv, Lumia is returned to the Democratic Party, while Nando's respectably decided to decline the offer.
And then there's Peter who, despite all his faults, knew how to pronounce - as a minister and party leader - a series of "no" very heavy against the shame of the center-left. No oversized all'indulto-saving Previti, crafty-saving, save-saves-gangsters and corrupt. No State secrecy and the use of the consultation on the abduction of Abu Omar in Milan against judges. No creeping to the decriminalization of bankruptcy attempted by some cunning minister. No attacks against Forleo and De Magistris. No rescue of the House Previti (IDV Belisario deputy for a year and a half, it was only with the PDCI to demand the expulsion of the affected Berlusconi, while the others were doing the fish in a barrel). No rescue of D'Alema and Latorre by the junta for permission to proceed with the House (there hath been given the Palomba DiPietro to authorize wiretaps Unipol-Antonveneta-RCS, no ifs, ands or buts). No all'inciucio tubs on the counter of the judiciary and all other filth of the so-called Minister of Justice ceppalonic. No all'inciucio in constitutional affairs committee for the law-scam Franceschini and Violante on conflict of interest (again, only with the PDCI and the then Licandro Giulietti Democrats have taken the hit with IDV). No limitation of the wiretaps and no - after an initial hesitation in the House - the law-gag Mastella & C. against the publication of wiretapping and other acts of investigation until the trial. No increase in public funding of political parties and the attempted coup in that way by the treasurers of all political parties (except IDV, Silvana Mura, and Rose in the Fist, Fabrizio Turkish). No paragraph Fuda assured that the requirement for public officials under investigation by the Court for breaches of accounting.
As Minister of Infrastructure, then, Di Pietro has reclaimed what it was before the summit lombrosario Anas, chasing the accused and condemned and denounced those responsible for some shortfalls. Rationalized the myriad Pharaonic projects inherited from Lunardi, concentrating scarce resources on some works are really necessary. And, during the election campaign, was the only one to say that papal papal Rete 4 should go on TV and you have to immediately apply the ruling of the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg that, by declaring unlawful the extension granted to Mediaset in 1999, depriving nine years by Francesco Di Stefano Europa 7 the frequencies needed to transmit.
Last but not least, is that Berlusconi will win both PDL and PD come to balance and maybe try a nice governissimo of large cartels, I hope it gets to parliament a patrol of sappers able to oppose with firmness and skill on two crucial issues, freedom of information and equal justice for all. Of people so there was also in PD, but has been scientifically eliminated with a kind of ethnic cleansing. Let us remember what happened in 2001 when the IDV lacked a quorum for a breath: the only real opposition to Berlusconi's regime was not in parliament (except for stray dogs from the Church and De Zulueta, now disappeared from the lists) but in the square. If you come into parliament this time Di Pietro, Orlando, Pardi, Giulietti, Cordopatri, Walls and a few others like them, it's better for everyone.
