In Italy, the President Chávez continues to be seen as an old caudillo, an example of a 'non-democracy' by satanizzare, slip into an extreme s / state of no return.

CARACAS - Last week, the secretary of the Democratic Party, Pier Luigi Bersani, commenting on the call with which Emma Marcegaglia ripped to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi a correction to the economic measures, he warned citizens: if Parliament does not resume his duties there is no freedom for anyone. He added: "I would not want after Berlusconi came out Chavez."

In a few days, supporters of Venezuelan president came forward in defense of a presidency and a nation that invest strongly on growth, look to the future and improving, with effort, every day. And for this, can not be continuously satanizzate and considered global parameter of populist autocracy. Despite limitations and problems known.
He took a pen and paper drawing of 'The Network of Communists Nuestra America' , advising the Secretary of Bersani "look at the processes and socialism in the XXI century in Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba and many other countries Latin-Americans, without falling back in the old habit of the left Eurocentric and neo-colonialist. " According to journalists, "Bersani has to resign to the fact that today the world of progressive heart beats in Latin America and in Europe where, on the contrary, dominated by conservative and reactionary forces facilitated by the complete subordination of parties like the Democratic Party. "
- When the time comes when the so-called Italian politics will end only to look at compatibility with the benefit of business and finally begins to respond to the needs of classes popular and workers in terms of economic and political democracy? - ask.
He raised his voice even the renowned journalist Gennaro Carotenuto that the article "What Bersani pretends not to know about Hugo Chavez," appeared in ' Latin America and all the southern hemisphere ', traces the recent growth stages of Venezuela ( investment in research, infant mortality, integrationist policy, poverty rates *), then decreed:
- It would be easy to keep in mind that what Bersani calls the "populist" like a stigma, for hundreds of thousands of young Venezolana means for the first time in the history of their families with access to university studies, or have access to drinking water, or the elderly get a social pension. Pierluigi Bersani (...) But it is safe to use as a parameter of the negative Chavez for his taps foil against that politician, Silvio Berlusconi, who has 16 years of shame Italy is covering the eyes of the world?
Finally, members of the Committee Roman MST, the Landless Workers Movement of Brazil , the Secretary responded with an open letter explaining why, if a day comes 'a Chávez' in Italy, it would a real godsend.

This is the text of the letter.

are writing than the words you used against the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Hugo Chávez: "I would not want to come out after Berlusconi Chávez. Or the Parliament resumes its role or there is no freedom for anyone. " These words suggest that: 1) Chavez would be even worse than Berlusconi, 2) in Venezuela there would be no freedom for anyone. And clearly express a lack of knowledge regarding the situation in Latin America in general and Venezuela in particular.

a) The government of Hugo Chavez has, of course, a very bad publicity : for much of the information "officer," the Venezuelan president is a caudillo and a populist, if not explicitly a tyrant. And despite the numerous electoral processes that have gone through, all won except one, that of the referendum Reform of the Venezuelan Constitution in 2007. Defeat serenely recognized by the president (and, moreover, the narrow measure, 50.7% against 49.3%: percentage which, if found to be reversed, they would have certainly made the right to cry fraud and the coup). We would like to point out that the Constitution makes provision for the possibility of withdrawal of any elective office, beginning with the presidential mandate in mid .

b) In the years of his government, Chavez proceeded to nationalize the large deposits of oil in Venezuela and used the oil resources to improve public services such as education, health and transport, to meet the needs of millions of poor and working class areas of the favelas, the first entirely excluded from any public service. In addition, the state guarantees access to food at cost, non-profit, through a local network of shops that is not government; provides free access to health care, through the Cuban system of the medical family, through which more than twenty thousand health workers live and coexist with the people in the most poor and assist with the prevention, provision of medicines and all necessary care (most of this population did not even know a doctor); also guarantees access to education through various educational programs ranging from literacy to adults and adolescents to programs aimed at all young people who want to go to college ( today Venezuela is considered a country free of illiteracy by UNESCO . A rare case among the countries of South delliemisfero ).

c) In such adverse conditions due to economic legacy marked by the total dependence on oil exports, lack of social organization and the absence of a political project that unifies the popular forces in the country, the great Chávez government's challenge is to succeed to build a sustainable development project for the country. Chávez has so far made two separate and complementary lines of thought. The first is called "Project endogenous development." Endogenous, here, means that the people and all the productive forces of the country should spend their energy in each region to be organized both agricultural and industrial production of goods necessary for the population. Would trigger a process of local production of wealth, distribution of income locally, creating jobs locally. The other idea that Chávez has introduced in the debate is the need to build a different social, Socialism of the XXI century, however, taking the distance from socialism. From the practical point of view, the practical result of this debate has produced has been to open a discussion among the workers so that they create forms of self-managed cooperatives and factories and industrial plants. And this happened when the capitalist owners have fled the country or went bankrupt, and in cases where the state has built a new factory and tried to establish some sort of collaboration with workers.

d) There are of course, in the Bolivarian process, limits which are not negligible: a state structure bureaucratic, corrupt and inefficient, the presence Despite the indisputable and fundamental social achievements, problems still unresolved, such as social insecurity, the issue of housing, the wage situation of large sectors of the population. Limits, these can not doubt the positive results obtained by Chavez in Venezuela, in pursuing the democratization of society, widening the powers of popular bands and indigenous people , the reduction of the working day, the end autonomy of the Central Bank, the prohibition of large estates , the consolidation of the State in its public nature, the establishment of missions, which the government has raised the issue at the center of his social sphere interest in what followed by other Latin American governments. And, in the Latin American level, the creation of Dawn, the Bolivarian Alliance for America, which Chavez has a leading role : a form of integration among the countries which starts from the needs of the people and not by delliambiente capital needs, a process of economic and social integration of peoples and governments that enhances the use of all natural resources, biodiversity resources, agriculture, industry, efforts to resolve the fundamental problems of the people and the climate crisis. A struggle for economic independence of Latin America, because stop being an exporter of wealth for Europe and the United States, and more recently to Japan and China.

For all these reasons, we believe that if Berlusconi came after Chavez liItalia would open for a period of great popular reforms, a great promise for the future.

* These, however are some excerpts from the article by Gennaro Carotenuto.

For example, in times of reform Gelmini University, Bersani knows that in 10 years in Venezuela the share of GDP devoted to scientific research has increased by 2300% ? For a country like Italy intended to leave the developed world for backline positions, Venezuela, Chavez is betting on strong investment research multiplying by 23.

know or not know that, aided by the Cuban doctors, infant mortality in Venezuela in ten years is now a third of what it was at the time of fondomonetarismo murderess of Moises Naim and Carlos Andres Perez?

know or not know that Venezuela is the largest donor of humanitarian continent alongside the United States where Italy is among the last of the OECD and the most easy come not to respect the agreements? What do you know Bersani, a convinced European, Latin American integrationist policy of force in which Hugo Chavez shares the credit with leaders like Lula or Nestor Kirchner?

know or not know that while in Italy the media concentration is greatest (only because of Berlusconi or even those who opposed it with all due hardness?) In Venezuela, now part of the estate media has been redistributed among hundreds of different media (which carries the monopolists to denounce censorship)?

Bersani know or do not know that while in Italy the Gini index, which measures poverty is growing in Venezuela values \u200b\u200bare literally falling apart for years? Venezuelans in poverty in 1997 were 61% and those in extreme poverty 29%. Today, after a decade of participatory democracy, we are down to 26 and 7% respectively . The short par?
