Democrats.

The usual controversial data on the actual number of participants are not new. What he hit was the engagement and the preparation of the details of the appointment on October 25. At the forefront of the leadership of the Democratic Party. Unanimous message: "another Italy is possible" . The topics of the day were deliberately broad and general. Unanimous support for Roberto Saviano, a person in Italy to continue to defend really a battle for legality and against the Camorra, a cancer. Without this commitment, men take precedence worthless, in a vicious downward for the economy. Harsh attacks on some moves of the government: against the Gelmini decree and the single teacher, for example, as well as an overall system rather than limited to innovative education. You do not need the cuts, but much more investment. The rest got even Romania, may increase by 50% the salaries of its professors. It is true that in different contexts. But Italy is represented by the Democratic Party wanted to reflect on precisely this: the incompatibility of the country with far-reaching reforms, which can trigger a cycle of profitable growth and renewal.

True Fortunately, there is opposition in Italy, although it must confront a series of facts not exactly glorious. References Walter Veltroni went primarily to the lightness of "Mr. Prime Minister" with respect to the consideration that Italy remains a fascist country. Another Prime Minister would have had greater historical memory and recognized that the dictatorship is an evil to be fought no matter what. The thought also unique because it is censoring and limiting, does not want to take into account the views of others, but to decide on the basis of a supposed right to defend. Here's how you build the democratic deficit. The closures and misunderstandings, the adequate and the impasse of a communication that did not nothing to transmit, share with others leads to what. A twisted logic in the way of understanding the relationship with the social partners would have scratched over the past seven years, their respect for institutions. The speech had several components. But it is a given: the Democratic Party, for how it is formed and organized, growing fundamental assumption of having to promote political participation. Events like the one a few weeks ago are eloquent proof, do not underestimate the other side.

Saviano and democracy

Openly

Pier Paolo Caserta

S aviano leaves Italy . But, above all, Italy has left Roberto Saviano.

The facts are known. The author of "Gomorra" lives escorted by more than two years, from a military base to another. A life that is no longer life. Now, the confession of a mafia sorry about the existence of a plan to kill Saviano by the end of the year has pushed the 28-year old writer to make the decision always postponed, always rejected it as an unforgivable failure. You did not have something happen that's why it was legitimate to speak of a defeat of democracy. It is enough that he should go. Saviano has been abandoned by politics, but also neglected by a public opinion inert, resigned or accomplice, who did not want to hear his voice. Or listened to it, but many, too many must have thought: "Who told you but did I do? ". Yeah. Who told you that do tell the truth when writing a bestseller 100 brush strokes are enough. But Saviano is not a seller of books. He is a writer. It is an intellectual. Roberto Saviano is also a boy of 28 years, a prisoner of his success, as he had to say, but most of all, we say, a prisoner of hatred of those who would die of resentment that the poor have for the truth, envy for his talent. Saviano is a courageous intellectual who has done "just" what every intellectual should do: tell the truth . In contrast to many "intellectuals" that infest our culture. Those who did not run never any risk, why not tell any truth, and not bother anyone. They go on television. The obvious rise in the system, rule, analysis. They say what people want, sell books, are "opinion". No, Saviano is not like the pseudo-intellectuals talk show. And it's not like those who fill the streets. Not the undifferentiated indifference - that does not bother anyone just as frivolous intellectual - but the report accurate, detailed, documented. Saviano is packed. President Napolitano, whose good faith belief, says that the state is watching over him. But who is the State, who is? Who sits in parliament? One thing is certain: if the state fails to protect a man, an intellectual who told it like it is then it means that there is a serious problem of freedom of expression. If the public is not outraged enough means that the public has atrophied as the mirror involution of politics and political discourse. The departure of Saviano is an ugly page of a country that is sliding dangerously towards the abyss. Sure, Italy is not, or at least not yet, a dictatorship. It's true. In fact it is a populist democracy. But any democracy is imbued with the populist totalitarian temptation. The implementation of this temptation does not have an accurate and quantifiable threshold. It is not a switch. But there may be a time when materializes, the moment when the hard of ears look back and ask, "How was this possible?" Maybe we should put this question to us, all of them, before getting to that point of no return. Why an intellectual, a 28 year old boy is forced to leave Italy for telling the truth . And this obviously means that in Italy the truth can no longer say.
