150 years of national unity gains and losses

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of national unification we should ask ourselves two simple questions .

The first: What is that from 1861 to now we think it was more than betrayed the ideals of the Risorgimento?

The list is short:
1. the South was the big penalized, whatever someone has wanted to turn it into a huge colony of human resources, and natural materials for the industrialization of the center-north. If you still experience the Southerners as traitors and even the Savoy Garibaldi, the reason is this: the chronic lack of land reform in favor of the rural populace, the clear subordination of the needs of agriculture to industrial.

2. National unity and industrial process meant to say off of a social system based on private capitalism no alternative whatsoever, that capitalism will ensure that the economic miracle of the belle époque and consumerism fifties and sixties, but also to banditry, emigration, the abandonment of land, the massive penetration of capitalism in the countryside (and thus the formation of monocultures for markets and at the end of any experience of consumption and village communities).

3. The development of private capitalism, then the first competitive monopoly (with the support of the State), resulted in a irreversible destruction of the natural environment in the sense that it was decided to privilege the " production of industrial goods" rather than " reproduction of natural assets (to our imposed by force has run the country the idea of \u200b\u200b"consume" as many goods as possible).

4. The centralization of political power in the Roman capital, has greatly embarrassed the uses, customs, traditions, local languages \u200b\u200band regional, as well as the autonomy of local communities and local authorities (which now seeks to recover, without calling into question the capitalist development of the country, through the idea of \u200b\u200b"federalism" which, incidentally, seems to proceed in parallel with an acceleration of the political process towards a presidential republic).

5. The permanence of a "state Vatican "made it impossible effective legal and political separation between church and state, an affirmation of the secular state, a truly democratic formulation of the constitutional provisions relating to freedom of conscience and religion (Article. 7, for example, would simply be eliminated).

The second question: What is that from 1861 to today has developed more pro-democracy social, cultural and political?

1. After World War II has developed the welfare state (school, health, social security, assistance, etc..), But has begun progressively dismantled since the early eighties and especially after the collapse of the so-called "real socialism ", of which the welfare state in Western countries constituted a kind of "mimesis". It does this without realizing that the inevitable outcome of pure liberalism have, to date, two world wars, separated by decades of brutal dictatorship, and where he has not set the political dictatorship (eg in France or England) was only because it still benefited from the old colonial empires, that is a dictatorship of the economy.

2. The battles conducted from the labor against capital (years Winds, Resistance and the sixties and seventies) have certainly helped to improve the living conditions of workers, but these gains are gradually decreasing, mainly due to the fact that global capital is leading to the relocation of the West, where labor cost is minimal.

3. The woman has certainly increased awareness of their own gender diversity to be enforced in the relationship with the man, but Italy remains a country far behind other countries in Northern Europe. Especially the Italian woman is unable to intervene in the representation that you give the media (TV, cinema, paper and print advertising).

4. E 'increased sensitivity to consumer issues , but it is still very strong economic hegemony of the producers. The consumer sees the manufacturer as an enemy to fight because the producer sees the consumer as a "chicken plucking".

5. E 'significantly increased interest in environmental issues for organic produce and environmentally friendly ones, but overall this does not detract from the dominant trend, which is based on plunder and waste of natural resources, and this illusion that science and technology should always be able to solve their own problems, but also in the mistaken perception of causing minimal damage with our bad behavior, not to mention the irresponsibility with which we assign to others or to future generations the task to correct our failures.

6. E 'increased sense of belonging to a European community , but we are still far from having a common European identity. Member States continue to move separately and do not want to give the European Parliament real powers. Religions, especially the Roman Catholic, significantly inhibit the formation of a European secular. Europe continues to be perceived as a plus, and often useless oneroso.Probabilmente But the thing that is lacking in conscience of Italians is the meaning of democracy or secularism, which, although certainly we lack more than elsewhere in Europe.

E 'rather than an awareness of what Italy has done in the world. We know nothing of how our country is moving abroad. We do not know what to produce, what to buy, how to do it, which has relations with all countries on earth. Especially do not know what are the international linkages that determine our health.

Japan, the economy of the disaster: the butterfly effect

Last Friday, the quake of 8.9 Richter scale that devastated the northeast Giappne has waved the skyscrapers of Tokyo a few moments before the bag shut , however, influencing the performance. Sure, the Nikkei index futures on lost three points, but despite not yet know the tsunami, the construction sector already made quite a leap high, with the actions of some of the most construction companies hit that recorded to over thirty percent. When

Tokyo closed and the news from Japan have spread throughout the world, stock markets have begun to behave schizophrenic, with Wall Street, as a matter of good last time zone, which observed that even a appreciation of the yen. The reason? Capital Japanese - ie yen in fact - that go home for the reconstruction .
And just to complicate the overall picture, the price of oil fell all markets while that of gas rose . For the first, concern over the setback of the economy of Japan, the third largest consumer in the case the second, on the contrary, it is expected that Japan will use them more likely to compensate for the reduction of nuclear energy available.

The unpredictable and cynical stock price, however, reveals at least two truths .
First : paper economy (read " finance) and real economy are interlaced through thousands of links to the most inscrutable. According
: the human and social disaster coupling earthquake-tsunami could have unexpected results , the medium to long term, for the Japanese economy reeling and the global whole. In

fourth quarter of 2010, the GDP of the Rising Sun had recorded a contraction of 1, 3 percent . Today, many analysts believe the boom (re) construction trainer as Japan's economy was already in the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Chinese growth, in short, with a difference. Wall

addition, construction and infrastructure, although the smell of bubble, housing demand is still driven by a multitude of pressure to improve their standard of living. In Japan instead, with the violence of nature , unfolds the capital: the destruction becomes opportunity for a new process of accumulation and may appear after all, a few eye capitalist, a good news.

Nell ' immediate, it is expected, however, a contraction of the economy . Some factories are closed, the reduced production the slow communications. An ironic fate for the inventors of the Toyota of just-in-time , the idea that to accede to the demands of a fickle market and finished, we should not keep goods in stock , but to circulate it to the maximum speed and efficiency to get there, where there is demand before and better than others.
Today there is no market for circulation, and if there were, it would not be anywhere. We must lick their wounds and then, slowly, again. Reconstruct, in fact.

Maybe some stores' Fuller would serve to counter another emergency already see that. And here the effects are global . The destruction, especially the tsunami , has dealt a severe blow to production of rice, of which Japan is one of the largest consumers worldwide (9 million tonnes ). Finite stocks, Tokyo will import massively, giving further impetus to the price of commodities and to ' food inflation, children of global warming and global speculation.
is because of this economic link earthquake that rhymes with intifada, tsunami with bread riots.

is said, in chaos theory, that the fluttering of a butterfly's wings in Brazil can trigger a hurricane in Japan. Today, in the opposite direction, a earthquake in northeastern Japan can make a boat landing African migrants in Lampedusa .

Nuclear? tuttapposto!

Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan cause for dismay. The reactions can not be that of solidarity and support to the Japanese people affected by this tragedy.

In this tragedy there is an event that speaks directly to Italy: they are the consequences of accidents in nuclear power plants. Have not yet clear all the consequences, including the reluctance of the government. It 's a fact that the incidents were, however, hour after hour, more and more serious, until the evacuation of tens of thousands of people and the release of radioactivity to which for now do not know the exact severity.

The Italian government has resorted to a vote of confidence to re-introduce nuclear power in Italy should reflect the light of events in Japan.
The Italian government should decide to suspend the nuclear program, or at least until a blocking implementation of the forthcoming referendum that aims to erase the law 99/2009, awaiting the verdict of the voters.

So far the government has shown to be afraid of the referendum and prefers to throw out the window of € 300 million just to avoid a successful referendum. This can be done to coincide with local elections a referendum to save 300 million, but the Executive knows that nuclear power has been approved by parliament alone imposing it by a vote of confidence and that the majority are still against it.

The nuclear option has been made under pressure from the Italian and international lobby's business relies on the nuclear deal, in defiance of the outcome of the referendum of 1987, with rates up to 80% who spoke out for leaving the nuclear power.
There is first a matter of democracy. Can a parliament like this, more blackmailed by a vote of confidence, overturning the vote of the citizens?

At this point the end of the next referendum abrogation must be used to stop the crazy choice of the government to return to nuclear power plants in Italy and to dispel a public good like water. There is an obvious synergy between the referendum to ensure that water remains a public good and what to block the nuclear option.
reach the quorum in the referendum is the most difficult to overcome, so the fact the Government has chosen to boycott the vote.

to vote and contribute to the quorum is a good antidote to the alienation election that for two decades is affecting our country. Because the nuclear
be secured? First of all, for reasons of cost. Enel has tried to show that nuclear power should, but it also told bales on the real cost of building new power plants. In 2009, Enel said that a new central EPR would cost three billion euro. Faced with the explosion of the costs of prototypes Finnish and French had to raise the figure to four billion. In fact, the real cost is now eight billion euro in Central Europe. With these costs is not possible to produce electricity at prices lower than current sources, they will be even greater.

is not even true that Italy would be energetically more autonomous, because we import almost everything, certainly the most sophisticated technologies and fuel. In addition, the nuclear fuel is available for several decades, just as oil and other fossil fuels. 200 entrepreneurs as they said, before signing Pasquale Pistorio, investing over 30 billion in nuclear power plants for the first 4 would mean de facto blocking investments in energy saving and renewable.

Italy does not have the resources to do everything. Enel confirms that he has sold part of its renewable energy to reduce its debt and then throw in expensive nuclear adventure.
Nuclear power plants are enormous concentrations of investments and thus business with any concerns arising. While energy saving and renewable energy is spread over thousands of investment professionals and disseminated.

Nuclear power is dangerous. The disposal of radioactive waste has not been resolved in any country in the world. Add to this the problem of nuclear waste from power plants accumulatea abandoned and the sites where they are built. There are
waste that will release radiation for tens of thousands of years, some types for hundreds of thousands. Building the central condemning future generations to live with the dangers and consequences of these choices for times greater than those of known human history.

This is the worst gift that current generation can do in those to come.
After Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, there is now a serious accident in Japan. Not to mention many other incidents, fortunately less serious news which are hidden. For example, in France there have been 19 accidents in the first two months of the year.
The dangers are not represented only by accident. The power plants release radiation during their normal operation, as shown in various investigations. The latest research was carried out in Germany and found in areas close to nuclear power plants, an increase of 2.2 times of leukemia in children.

advantage of the Libyan crisis and rising oil prices the nuclearists returned to the attack by failing to say that nuclear power plants are not the solution, because even the most optimistic among them admit that before 2020 will not come into operation. Up to 2020 we do?

In fact the solution of energy problems is on energy saving and renewable energy because it does not depend on international events, because they can be introduced quickly, with more limited investment and employment results 15/20 times more nuclear. The Government, as is known, is doing the opposite and thus risk undermining the development of renewable energy to promote the nuclear adventure. Just pointing

on energy saving and renewable energy could be ready for the events of 20/20/20 agreed with Europe.
If the Government, as is likely, it will ignore all the precautionary principle will require the reinforcement of the mobilization to reach the quorum and win the referendum on nuclear power, as well as the public good on the water.

What Is The Best Pocket Sized Camcorder?

"In defense of the Constitution" is not a slogan any. Today's demonstration can be a turning point if he can clarify - finally - what is the land on which it is happening in Italy, the most difficult political battle, but also the deeper cultural battle. And from now.

The entire last two decades has run marked by the desire to change the "constitutional pact." In particular, the emergence of Berlusconi and impulse that gives rise to a post-constitutional political cycle.

The "descent into the field," the entrepreneur Berlusconi is explicitly motivated by the classic view of the constitutional system. The party-promoted company that he has no connection with the Constitution. Indeed, the constitution is to it a foreign body, an impediment to the immediate realization of political goals to be achieved.

The division of powers, guarantees of the rights, measures to balance between the public, respect for different roles and prerogatives of each individual institution (the Parliament to the judiciary, the Constitutional Court to the President of the Republic) , representing the essence of democratic constitutionalism, suddenly become only a hindrance.

is the Constitution that "impossible to govern," which hampers the government of doing. A government that derives its legitimacy from the consent of only a minority of citizens, disguised as a majority of people (if not uniformly for all the people intended) thanks to an electoral distortion accompanied by a misleading propaganda.

Like all populist schemes only what counts is the cry, the ability to bring power to a source of popular origin, not real people, in its divisions and its contrasts, but to his face legendary. Once invested with the power of the "sovereign" has no limits, he - he alone - who will act for the good of the people, to his father.

The 'elected' the people (but not elected by the people) certainly can not be judged on how they work, the delegation of political power given to him is absolute, there can be no counter, no law can be invoked before those who embodies the people without any burr in his "total identity." How much further away from the idea that constitutionalism has imposed in modern times legal, breaking its medieval belief of the absoluteness of sovereignty.

Constitutionalism supremacy of the rules imposed on that power today is not the case back to talk of 'neo-medieval institution. "
But in Italy this long history of decline appeared to form over the new policy, able to answer the obvious crisis of representative democracy. A crisis, that of political representation, which could not - and can not - be denied.

For a long thirty years, our life has been organized by the democratic mass parties, which absorbed the whole of popular representation.

Entitled in this role by a clear constitutional provision (Article 49), parties history that gave birth to the republic and innervated - for better and certainly worse - the Italian constitutional democracy were all well aware that their power, and that of many leaders that have ruled the government had an essential basis of legitimacy in the Constitution.

Clash political divisions could be turned on and irreconcilable, but the board of constitutional values, the emancipatory project in which it was written, were not explicitly challenged by anyone. The ideologies of the twentieth century divided, but united constitution. Set yourself above the law would not be conceivable, it meant undermining the Constitution. Fidelity to the Constitution could not be discussed under penalty of exclusion from political representation of the circuit. Then it is no longer the case.

If you want to examine the underlying reasons that led the various political forces (some more than others) to abandon the strategy of constitutional legitimacy, we can not stop the apparent crisis of mass political parties.

There is no necessary link between a certain kind of party and the constitution. This goes far beyond the specific forms of organization that takes on the free political debate in individual countries and in different historical contexts.

United States - for example - with a European mass parties have never existed and the personalization of power is included in the democratic culture of the people, but respect for the Founding Fathers have never ceased to be at the foundation undisputed power of each, even the president.

In Europe, you do not see any political system, albeit in crisis, challenge the legitimacy of lex superior, and indeed the "constitutional patriotism" is indicated as the way forward to overcome the difficulties of balancing political and social divisions that the economic downturn piercing.

In Italy the populist regime seems to be a step agonizing, but try the latest assault on the supreme law, planning un'epocale constitutional reform of justice. The square of 12 March given the immense task of collecting the fallen flag of the constitution to dismiss the past, where he arrived, the medieval knight who governs us.

Nuclear Safety? Veronesi thinks!

Veronesi does your doctor by profession and in his free time, nuclear expert. Leaves his position as senator PDminusL Party (nuclear) for the presidency of the Agency for Nuclear Safety. 85 years old and, as is right, the consequences of nuclear power, a future that will never see, I do not care. With that dentures can say what he wants ...

Di Giorgio Ferrari, anti-nuclear Committee:
I worked in the nuclear field for over twenty years by carrying out checks on all nuclear fuel for power plants of ENEL and I have never heard so many coarseness by a scientist who plays a more as delicate as the President of the Agency for Nuclear Safety.

'm the only one nuclear expert to have made a conscientious objector after the Chernobyl accident, risking my professionalism and my own career and I think with dismay to the fact that nuclear safety is managed in the manner absurd of the government: twelve months to carry out a nuclear power plant licensing and national repository for the waste, when the largest security body in the world (U.S. NRC) it takes no less than three years providing over a thousand technical experts, while our Asn has only a couple hundred employees very poorly prepared.

Veronesi What do you know the problems that arise in the process of certification of a nuclear project?

of how to assess a maximum credible accident, being carried out during construction and operation of a plant?

of how even the most sophisticated security systems and procedures fail: the malfunction at Three Mile Island emergency services were only six and two were attributable to the factor human.

Sure, as long as doctors he will display the statistics of WHO and the IAEA, who argue that at Three Mile Island and that nobody died in the Chernobyl dead are a few thousand, then people will have to really fear for their safety.

There are scientists in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine who have shown in their study of the tens of thousands dead and hundreds of thousands of post Chernobyl diseases, which are constantly ignored and boycotted by men such as Veronesi and dall'omertà that distinguishes majority of the so-called scientific community (not only Italian).

And enough with the lies that nuclear power makes us free from oil, as only 5 percent of electricity is produced from this source while the vast majority of its consumption is in transportation and industry, and then it is highly likely that the uranium will be esaurisrsi first of fossil fuels.

Enough with the fairy tale that all the problems of nuclear energy (waste from the Generation IV reactors will be resolved) because they are the same problems that we studied in thirty years ago Enel plans to address by 2000, and now that we are in 2010 tell us that their solution is moved to another thirty years!

If Veronesi is willing to keep nuclear waste in its bedroom, as seems to have said, is his business (although it would be interesting to know how they think their neighbors), but if the President of the ASN (which is an independent authority) says that nuclear power plants are designed to last up to a hundred years, then you open a serious problem of competence and reliability of the entire structure which, in my opinion, can only be solved by raising Veronesi from his post.

the wrong

Provincial Councillor Simonetta Pellegrini, has trumpeted in the press and on television have allocated in the integrated action plan, funded by the European Social Fund, 6 million euro for the next two years. Let me clarify that, while the Fund is not "integrated" because the province does not take even one Euro, compared to those resulting from regional funding. Furthermore, it provides an allocation of € 3,000,000.00 in 2011 and 2,700,000.00 in 2012, practically 17% of resources in less than in 2010 and 34% less than in 2009.

Year	2009	2010	2011	2012
Resources provided	4,536,000.00 3,661,357.00		3031 .000,00	2,750,000.00

addition, the Province, in 2009 and 2010 enjoyed a special contract funded by the Foundation for MPS support the unemployed, which probably in 2011 and 2012 there will be no more. In fact, the Social Fund has been cut from the Region to finance other sectors, despite the Governor Rossi, after the Christmas speech of President Napolitano, announced that in 2010 put € 100 million available to the political youth. As usual, words, words, words.

Meanwhile, the young (unemployed) and the weaker sections of the province will have a Social Fund cut with machetes and newspapers continue to be clogged with unnecessary statements. This is the bitter and harsh reality.

Yesterday provincial councilors of the PD and the PDL IDV voted in favor of this cut, and the most seriously advised against a motion calling for the establishment of a special invitation and entry into the field of tools to supplement the incomes of the unemployed and the unemployed, including the establishment of a Solidarity Fund.

The regret for what happened is not only the finding that the PD and the PDL are all one in terms of economic policy, but the thing that disappointed me the most is seeing some councilors to vote against their will and making an escape, "I would not do it, but ... ..".

What happened yesterday in the provincial council in Siena is very serious and, unfortunately, reveals the inability politics and politicians in responding to the citizens they represent. I am aware of the critical moment that we are experiencing because of the economic and financial crisis, but that's why you need an extraordinary effort in seeking the means to ensure a decent living communities that you represent. We need a strong political and authoritative. When cutting the funds allocated to social means we're on the fruit, that the policy is powerless to which they can live without representation. It 'no use wasting money on elections. So nothing will change.

E 'must change course, restoring power to the elected Assemblies and citizens. need to rebuild a Left opposition, left a real showing in the councils the authority and power to change things and to give concrete answers to the needs of the weakest, so strong are guaranteed by power and money.

general strike of four hours on May 6. "The worst of the best decisions"

Giorgio Cremaschi

E 'useless to hide behind the words. The general strike proclaimed by the secretary of the CGIL is presented as a strike in half. On the one hand, it is clear, it collects a question of mobilization that started from the square of 16 October where they met Fiom and movements.

other hand, however, not only for its size, the four hours, but also the goals, looks like a strike in complete continuity with the initiatives of the past.

On 26 June last year, the CGIL called for a four-hour general strike against the policies of the Berlusconi government. A year later, does the same same thing, in exactly the same way. Between these two dates has changed the world.

Marchionne's attack, one of the Gelmini, the spread from public to private, from the metal workers to teachers to staff the service sector, the devastation of contract, questioned everything. CISL and UIL accomplices were convinced that all the choices of the government and Confindustria, Fiat.

E 'advanced process of destruction of the welfare state in Italy is presented as Federalism.

All this was accompanied by worsening of the crisis of democracy, free elections in the abolition of Fiat as in the work public attack on the judiciary, attack the Constitution, the impunity of Berlusconi claimed and proclaimed as a system of government. Yet after all this, the general strike proclaimed by the secretary of the CGIL is the same as a year ago.

It 'obvious that this error of sensitivity and political decision stems from a basic flaw that persists in the line of the confederation. He continues to deny reality. We continue to believe that over Marchionne, over Berlusconi and Sacconi, as well as the separate agreements, there is still a world in which we can reconstruct a single policy with CISL and UIL and a social pact with the Confederation. This world does not really exist anymore.

There is now a block of power, a genuine dialogue that ensures that all major economic and social policy decisions are taken by mutual agreement between the League, Tremonti, Berlusconi, Confindustria, CISL and UIL. There is a power bloc that governs Italy concertation and excludes the CGIL.

This power bloc makes Berlusconi continues, despite his misdeeds, to remain in the saddle, while it seems inconclusive and ineffective political opposition. The leadership of the CGIL is still under the illusion that sooner or later Marcegaglia lady, the CISL, the UIL, make another policy.

It 's the same illusion that cultivates Bersani when asked the League to dissociate itself from Berlusconi. But to deny the reality may be more likely to change course and behavior. So, speculatively, to a political opposition that every five minutes asking the fall of Berlusconi, but does nothing real serious for this to happen, so the CGIL demands a profound change in the economic and social policies, but then does a general strike to block the country really.

E 'this contradiction that was immediately picked up in all workplaces where, after the first cautious satisfaction with the proclamation of a general strike, expressed the anger over the date and especially for four hours. Who errs, as does our dear friend Loris Campetti on the poster, understates the issue and get carried away in the old logic of the glass as half full.

This general strike as it is not right, must be changed. First you must put in the deck that it must be proclaimed not only against the government but also against the Confindustria and the system of enterprises. We think of Confcommercio, which is spreading everywhere, with the government, the model Marchionne.

must stop deluding ourselves that there is another good employer who is ready to dissociate the managing director of Fiat. Secondly, it should make a general strike of eight hours. Already several categories: school, the civil service, trade, metal workers, seem to have decided or determined to decide the extent of the strike. You have to try to block the country and not to make a strike situation.

In the coming weeks, every workplace, every union representation, each structure must be brought to discuss and decide on the objectives and the extent of the strike. The strike will be a meeting around the country fighting for rights and democracy.

For this you must meet the social movements and students. They must be active and participate in the strike and not simply viewers tolerated. Finally, this strike is also politically constructed than CISL and UIL. The unit on May 1, preceding the strike is pure hypocrisy and could even damage the day of the fight if that day on the streets, you should diplomatically silent about it.

Do a May 1 to prepare the strike, which explains the rationale and objectives and should be in place for that too. Never mind if CISL and UIL at this point it will be swept away or be forced not to participate.

must get serious. Every day, working women and men, young people, the unemployed and precarious workers are faced with tragedies that befall their lives. For this ritual mobilizations no use to anyone and may even be counterproductive. At this point we have two months to reach a general strike true. We ensure that every event - the March 11 trade unions to strike the base, the other struggles and protests, assemblies of students and social movements, civil society events, from March 12 to the water - even preserving their autonomy, of course, serve also to ensure that the strike of May 6th is a meeting point for all.

Impadroniamoci that date and we do not believe the general strike proclaimed by the secretary of the CGIL a date that marks the country's social and political life. With the knowledge Today more than ever the critical need to those elites who do not want to take the size of the hard and tragic conflict. The transformation of the strike on May 6 in a general strike true, it is the path on which we have to move.

General Strike: The time is now

Giorgio Cremaschi.

The decision of the Directors of the CGIL union to call a general strike is definitely a step forward, which arises from the intense influence of the movement of fighting in recent months. However, the general strike is still not in camp because the date is not fixed, and this decision is inconsistent throughout the political transition now living the CGIL.
The debate in the Committee has seen for the first time a breakdown of the conference alignments. Not only

Fiom, not only the congressional minority, albeit with different accents, but also pensioners, the CGIL Emilia, the FLC has asked the general strike in the near future. On the other side, some structures of the North, particularly in Milan and Liguria, they looked the wrong choice of the strike now. In the midst of a vast array of leading groups on the one hand he feels the need of the general strike, but the other can not grasp the contradiction of it with what has been stated by the central leadership.
Fiom National Assembly, held in early February, the head of the confederation had said with frank brutality that the general strike was not on the agenda because the CGIL was trying on the one hand, to establish a dialogue on the representation with CISL and UIL, second, a pact for growth with Confindustria.

in those days, however, the Government, CISL and UIL signed yet another separate agreement for civil servants, while the Confindustria and Federmeccanica showed an increasingly convinced alignment with the positions of Marchionne.

Now the negotiations for the renewal of the contract business is reinventing the same dramatic scenario. Businesses, in agreement with CISL and UIL, claiming a total downward revision of contracts, the settlement of two levels of bargaining, the dismantling of the personal rights of workers, the rest to the disease, the full acquisition in the texts of all contractual the most barbarous rules on flexibility wanted by the government.

destructive project for a class already massacred by flexibility and insecurity, the CGIL, even in its more moderate members, it can not subscribe. If you then get to another separate agreement, the majority of Italian workers would be subject to contractual arrangements, which excludes the CGIL and ravaging the national contract, personal freedom and union.
face of all this was hard to continue to deny reality.

And in fact, already in the report and in the debate, for the first time in a long time, showed an awareness of how difficult the reconstruction of a short drive with CISL and UIL, and has spread to these two organizations on charges of being accomplices of the government and Confindustria. However, this acknowledgment of reality has not produced a thorough review of alternative line on which to build.

change reality, but we try to deal with continuing on the path followed so far. For this, facing the pressure of categories and structures, it was decided the general strike, but without specifying the date. These are a reserve policy and also a contradiction, that may impair the function and effectiveness of the strike itself.

This decision is contradictory, with clear evidence, the strategic difficulty of the CGIL. One difficulty reflective of the political opposition to Berlusconi. The latter, despite the criminal support for Gaddafi, processes, political and moral impresentabilità, continues to keep his place, while the opposition still does not bite in earnest.
There is a fundamental reason for all this, the one who makes the difficult journey of CGIL. Berlusconi, however unpresentable, has managed to build a block of stable power with Confindustria, the CISL, the UIL.

This power bloc was strengthened and supported by the offensive of authoritarian and unconstitutional Marchionne that with the widespread consensus that collects in the palaces of the policy and power, has come to shore up the creaking of the domain owner of Mediaset. The apparent asymmetry between political conflict and social conflict strengthens the whole of the Prime Minister.
Parliament is divided in half, the mainstream press and the public are against Berlusconi, but the consensus breaks Marchionne left to conquer businesses and unions accomplices. So the offensive against social materiality Berlusconi ends up losing and that is that the opposition is weakened.

Only the great social and civil opposition, what he saw as the ultimate expression of women in the exceptional mobilization February 13, can change the cards in table. But this opposition needs to see how the decisions and struggles that Berlusconi not only opponents but also Marchionne and the power bloc and economic union that supports it. This is the harsh reality of the CGIL hour general strike that has to do. A general strike, in order not to be a pure act of witness, must be placed fully in the radical movements that are shaking the country.

CGIL decided the strike but did not set a date. E 'and therefore for all those who so far have fought for it, plunge the necessary political maturity in time to affect the current reality. Tomorrow will take place in Rome Autoconvocate an assembly of delegates, which could boost the mobilization for a general strike.

A day is scheduled the meeting of the minority Congress of the CGIL. All movements mobilize today have an interest in this blessed date because of the strike finally comes, and arrive in time to affect the political struggle taking place today.

The general strike will not be yet another ritual event, like the last that took place. Will be a meeting and an act of force of all movements with the world of work. Should really try to block the country. Will have to see America on the world of work, you see clear national contracts, with that precarious world, that a national agreement never arrived. Will see the social struggle to unite with the civic and moral protest against Berlusconi and his government. Must be a social and political strike at the same time.

All this does not yet exist. There is only a formal decision in the field and incomplete Directors CGIL. It is up to all of us to act now because in Italy there is finally a real general strike. When we get we will ensure that it is a start time of the fight against the system of power that, from Berlusconi to Marchionne, is making us pay all costs of the crisis.

A Mother falls Tiemme view and a licentiate.

public and I gladly endorse this statement of the COBAS to reiterate my concern, expressed in his time in the City Council in Monteriggioni, and now confirmed, in terms of rights and labor relations workers converged in this new company.

Not many months have passed when it was lodged near the new public transport company Tiemme Tuscany Mobility. Large numbers for the new subject of Tpl: "production of 34 million cars- km / year, almost 40 million passengers carried, a fleet of 750 buses, more than 1150 employees and a turnover of approximately EUR 90 million. "

numbers that put it in 10th place in Italy between the public transport companies. Led by the 'ubiquitous Ing Sassoli for decades in breach of the TPL of Tuscany, the first Director of Afaf, now in addition to being CEO of Tiemme and cover 5 other positions in the same company continues to be managing director of IFA.

Tiemme What about the president and chairman of TRAIN, Dr. Roncucci prominent figure even National Public Transport: President ASSTRA of Toscano, Member of the Governing Council of National ASSTRA. Great characters, great numbers, which for years provided a chewing TPL not seen great results and in the face of mind-boggling salaries that even a worker in two lives will never win (Sassoli for his Florentine period took € 840,000) to provide a mother with health problems and lay off a kick.

Where you going? Companies that we build for our children. One worker, a mother , Tiemme a driver for not having given up all 'essence of Life "Giving birth to children " you see today expelled from their jobs. Pregnancy has created a drop in Vista that make it unfit to drive. This is what a mother must accept? Or family or job? Years of union gains, honest work, then suddenly after being squeezed kicked off with a kick? From a company-owned for more.

ideals that have characterized the compensation of the workers against the employers but also the emancipation of what happened to Donna? Tiemme has not spared in the management, even on the boards having created another, but the game will not force a mother or replace any worker who is under of poor health. Does not withstand even the phrase in the letter of dismissal " To date, unfortunately, as already communicated to it all 'era with the previous business notes, there are no seats available in the planned company for a possible relocation in the light of recent events involving high standards fees and cuts to the services and personnel necessary for its execution .

Why 'agreement signed in the region Confederal February 15, 2011, averting a strike from this region, also suspended from us Cobas, has as primary objective to safeguard all jobs referring to solutions shared such as early retirement for any redundancies. Another point of such an agreement "to improve the 'efficiency through recovery of' evasion (the famous Portuguese)" has the solution to our Mom and goes to the 'programmatic wanted to address the Region. Only two controllers are operating throughout the province of Arezzo where it operates Tiemme.

An agreement signed in Ataf these days involves the insertion of redundancies caused by cuts in jobs in the industry just as verifiers. Why Tiemme luminaries, and Roncucci Sassoli, but more so the public shareholders of the giant transport do not follow the instructions of the control room of Ceccobao? Maybe the major project Tiemme is not so great as it was made to appear but only the 'nth division of power and money to the usual Casta, who has been chewing on transport at the expense of workers and users?

We as Cobas Confederation of Private Employment We call upon all political forces and first of all ' Councillor Dr Ceccobao that common sense prevails relocating the Mother of all' inside of 'Company and also all those who were to be found in same situation. Combat by all means possible that the disease a worker may be the pretext of his dismissal.

With women's rights, against Berlusconi in all its forms!

E 'having to be in place Sunday, February 13 the day of the national mobilization for the rights and dignity of women.

It 's time to say enough not only to this commercialization of women's bodies - amplified by the media - but also to what this alludes to the fact and to impose: the sweep - as was the case on many other fronts in terms of rights - all the achievements, hard and certainly never ended, self-determination, independence, freedom of the woman taken in recent decades. We are aware of the discrimination suffered by women at work: for example, to lower wages for equal jobs, the lack of access - for women - in positions of responsibility, etc.: today the situation has worsened with the crisis, which tells us that - with the cutting of funds in the budgets of the agencies - all the activities of care is in the hands of women, and that unemployment affects primarily women themselves. For a picture so bleak is accompanied by - mirror image - the attempt to pass off models shocking and unacceptable to commercialization, sales of women's bodies.

parliamentary answer to all this is totally inadequate. So it is absolutely essential and necessary to multiply the mobilizations in the streets next Sunday and continue in our commitment to a decisive change of direction.

the poster for the day of action ....

The end of the Berlusconi government is a key objective for us because we live in a real democratic emergency. But we know that the end of the Berlusconi government will not automatically be the end of Berlusconi. Representative of the vulgar authoritarian neoliberalism, the videocreation Berlusconi is also a picture of a male and a common sense reaction patriarchal widespread new form of male domination, indeed authoritarian, violent, because it no longer hegemonic. A male domination which also includes women's bodies nell'onnivoro process of commodification and imprisons them in the flow of video communication.

For this reason, we conduct a molecular battle to Berlusconi and all forms of sexism by turning a critical political and cultural society, in places of work and study in family, parties, movements and institutions. We want to stop the flow of an obscene communication, which reduces the relationship between "men and women" to the seduction of tronista, or the President.

We hear today of the importance of taking a collective word for women. We are here, as women and women of all squares in Italy, not only to express our anger and our anger, but because we think it is possible a transformation of society and politics from the subjectivity of women, from a feminist movement that takes up the thread of "the longest revolution."

We wish here to express the joy of being a woman, you want to practice, to live our sexuality in an unseemly and free. To save a family member will not return, nor a bigot who says "decorum" in the privacy of public men, without grasping the inextricable link between personal and political, between male sexuality and power. For us, the moral question is, first, the critical power.

We are women who fight for job security and labor rights, going to bed late and rise early, we defend our right to live happily against all forms of oppression material, abduction income, violence Domestic violence in the Vatican, we are women who defend their rights, first to self-determination, we are studying women, who care and who do not care, we are prostitutes and missionaries, we are lesbians and mothers, we are all Egyptian, fighting for our freedom. And do not let no one, not even the nephew of Mubarak.

Press toll on Florence against Siena

Autopalio: it would be unacceptable that the damage came after the prank! For years, is sought with determination to modernize and the safety of this vital artery, known to be dysfunctional, dangerous and often congested. An arterial link, and scroll to the primary commuting route for Tuscany and all citizens must reach daily from Florence, Siena and vice versa. Faced with these demands the government not only turned a deaf ear to the pressing demands of local authorities and the provinces concerned to implement the necessary action on the Florence - Siena, but he expected - since May 1, reads as a decree passed last October by the House - the introduction of tolls on this road axis. After the damage so the trick! The only direct way, and then forced between Siena and Florence, putting the toll would be a heavy economic burden and unacceptable, especially for local communities, commuters, etc.. that daily use of the artery and the economy of the area. All this - given the lack of structural measures in anticipation - having to cross a road network with road shattered, full of holes, with no emergency lane, etc..! The lack of interventions and the contemporary view of the introduction of the toll caused an outcry from citizens and local authorities, but to date have not yielded results. For this we consider extremely important, welcome, support and participate in the mobilization "Siena Florence Day" on February 12, pv promoted by the provinces of Siena and Florence and sees the appointment directly involved in establishing the presidents of the two provinces to demand an investment plan with certainty and clarity to say no to tolls. Together with this, for our part, to maximize the political and institutional order that rejected the hypothesis toll and while it can not be postponed to achieve modernization and safety measures dell'Autopalio.

The City puts "sell" his property! From

The City showcases the real estate for sale. Tuesday, February 1 at 18, in the monumental complex of Abbadia a Isola, Monteriggioni of the City Administration will submit its plan for real estate sales, already approved by the City Council.

"I would call real estate marketing operation - suggests the mayor Bruno Valentini-precisely because this public meeting is to promote knowledge of the outside of buildings or land that the municipality intends to dispose of.

are pieces of non-strategic assets, which will be used to pay for new public works, especially to address the limitations imposed by the Stability Pact, which makes it difficult to pay suppliers promptly. "At the meeting were invited, through their trade associations, construction companies in the province of Siena, but participation is open to all and especially to the professionals the industry. "

disposal plan; real estate marketing operation, now the words have lost their meaning, I do this I call his name, you are of peasant stock, but I prefer to say "bread bread and wine wine "! This is more than a" sale and real estate marketing operation " first is a sale of land, territory and then, when there will be built on the land the houses. (since the recipients are mainly manufacturers of enchantment, enough to make one plus one that you understand what will be done on the land !)

Surely it is a road that leads to a dead end, since the sale of these assets is used to pay for public works and / or missing or reduced revenue from state corrente.Quindi in the immediate future, (better an egg today than a hen tomorrow), will be compensated for and covered the calendar works but for the future?

For the future we are not in good shape, the lost revenues this year will be no comparison to the cuts in coming years and the planned public works are many and expensive, and since the construction will take several years to cover the costs should be listed many other lands, and so ad infinitum, in a vicious circle, but land ownership are not infinite, then what will happen in the years ahead we will not know, but certainly if we do not stop this way of working we will not have land or property to sell and we may have to resort to loans, as did other municipalities, but even this road is uncertain, or devise some other financial alchemy to find resources, such as those already tested, where the Town Council in issuing the building permit, even with the "concession" mc in a few more, is ok to sign an agreement where you give the manufacturer one or more flats to relocate the property market free.

More than alchemy, call transaction of real estate speculation, given that the flats are put on the market at current price.

Or consider to reduce public works as "monumental and expensive" for less expensive but necessary.

But something else emerges, surrender more and more clear to use public property in the possession of common: now in the name of budget problems and lack resources, much of this heritage is (s) sold to private!

Fiat workers a chance to increase the weight of the left

interview Stefano Galieni to Roberta Fantozzi

After one week of voting Mirafiori much has happened.

It 's true, but that vote must go and must continue to emphasize the value, rejecting the attempts of ambition, to make it clear from the chaotic noise of the communication media. As has been pointed out, even at Mirafiori recententemente mobilizations were more difficult than elsewhere, the heavier the apparatus of control, the higher the average age of workers. That result, in the deadly blackmail fielded, is the demonstration of the level of awareness and willingness to fight that exists in the factories of this country. The awareness that we are at a transition "history" where in the largest post-war crisis, the attempt is to determine a regression in the materiality of the deadly work conditions and rights of the worker, making a clean sweep of both the industrial relations of the Constitution. The willingness to fight is the one that has arisen in the completion of this awareness, interweaving with the role played by the Fiom: the investment of trust gained in the field by Fiom in each step of these very difficult months, identify it as "the union" and more. Since it is clear that particularly since the October 16 demonstration, the ability to link movements to submit an alternative platform altogether determine the facts in a substitution role of policy: a policy that is on the wrong side or that, if is on the right side, not the level of effectiveness that would be necessary.

The act goes on attack in .

Statements of Federmeccanica which was followed by those of Confindustria explicit, without veils, what is the goal "System", a goal entirely understandable since the separate story on the contract system, which certainly has been a spurt Fiat extreme. It 's amazing that in the face of Pomigliano has said that this was an exception and that even after it is thought that after all the logic of the new company concerned large multinational corporations but not the whole company, as he tried to reassert Director General of Federmeccanica. The replacement of the national corporate contract, means the breaking of any interest to workers in small businesses and a butcher shop where the union is weak or nonexistent. Corporatization and individualization of the Reports work are the explicit goal, pursued by both Federmeccanica and Confindustria, the government and the labor legislation that was approved. Just think of the Linked Work and give the push that individualisation of the employment relationship. He said a companion last national activities, which is a good bet that the workers who will be individually summarized by the new company, the contract will also find the arbitration clause: that which refers to any dispute to arbitration and prevents access to the courts . While on the other hand the draft statute for workers, by which formally does not affect the rights, waived depending on the economic situation: the rights become legally dependent variables on the market! Corporatization and individualization of labor relations and set a clean sweep of the individual and collective rights, as recognized by law and the Constitution. The workplace and society, transformed into barracks, where those who work in small arms is in competition with other arms without autonomy, possibilities for organizing collective rights. Instead of giving rights to those who are uncertain, what is happening is an attempt to generalize, worsening the condition of blackmail that the instability requires dramatically today to millions of people.

How do you counter an attack of this reach?

There are several levers that must act. Fiom rightly said that now, since if you do not vote Mirafiori reopened the negotiations, would have covered all avenues, including the judiciary. The diktat of Mirafiori and Pomigliano to offer wide area, since there are still laws and Constitution. Non-application of regulations on the sale of a business - the foundation of the whole operation newco - sickness, right to strike and freedom of association: there is something for everyone! Then there is the trade union and political struggle. The strike and the demonstrations of 28 will be very important and extremely positive on that date there has been a convergence of grassroots unions, while the need for the CGIL Squaderno proclaim a general strike. There is no way that it does not conflict in a given field and durable, so all the conditions are, however, as evidenced by their willingness to fight the extraordinary in the vote of Mirafiori and Pomigliano before, in the increasing resistance that is determined in this country. As shown in the new movement of students and temporary workers. The management right of the crisis component of a social model that undermines the substance of the Constitution is an opposite movement of another constituent social model. Moreover, in many moves, multiply the answers: United by the crisis, the establishment of Labour and Freedom, the appeal of Micromega. There are conditions for the construction of a mass political movement against the return to 800 and for an alternative.

And politics?

The PD showed the point at which the mutation has arrived. Crippling coexistence of different lines is evident not only how heavy it had not challenged the social-liberal system, but the pieces of material interest that specifically refer to that party. This confirms the correctness of our analysis on the impossibility of a perspective government with that party and is Squaderno the need to rebuild a political representation in the workplace. A challenge for us in a process of reconstruction of the maximum possible relations unit to the left, with the arc of forces at Mirafiori said NO. Building relations unit, to accelerate in a political framework in which all the more opaque it is possible that the fall of the government is on the agenda and this is a lens decisive, but in the meantime there is the usual presence in the PD options different and, to listen to the interview of Enrico Letta a few days ago, the major priorities of research alliances with the third prong.
Rebuilding the political representation of world of work and the best cards with this objective reporting unit, means questioning on what project, which wires to pull, and the crisis in the specific features of Italian capitalism.

There are four nodes in my view, inescapable.
The first is democracy, because democracy means the set-up of power and therefore as the weight of the interests in society. The need for a law on union democracy, modeled on the proposal of the Fiom, goes along with the need to overcome the bipolar. The two things are held more than it is clarified. The necessity of reappropriation of workers to decide on their working condition, is the necessity of reappropriation of the citizens of the land of political representation inhibited by the majority today, that is, whether you build coalitions Islam by force as the main criterion is to take a vote more than others, by the type of deployments. Moreover, the bipolarity comes to proof by the institutional sphere of social conflict.
The second is the need to reform the world of work. With its implications on the ground of the contracts and the type of labor relations. Reunification of the categories, drastic reduction in the number of labor relations and reaffirmation of the centrality of the relationship of indefinite duration, the renewal of the false self-employment to the protection of employees.
The third is an initiative for a radical redistribution of wealth in a country where the gap is unsustainable levels. If the fifteen richest OECD countries the share of wages in GDP has declined by 10 percentage points between 1976 and 2006 in Italy fell by 15 in favor of annuities. So balance sheet, income taxation, tax evasion.
The fourth channel resources to public production of public goods: industrial policies, knowledge and welfare. Industrial policies, because the low labor productivity in Italy is the result of "small is beautiful" in past years, and absence of investment in product innovation, which radicalized the competition in saturated areas. Because the ecological crisis makes sovraordinante the conversion of the economy and industrial sectors. Public Policy: an audience to be renewed in the name of transparency and participation, to rebuild the capacity of intervention in the economy that it brings into question the dominance of globalized capitalism. Knowledge: to rehabilitate the productive apparatus, but also for a society of free men and women. Extension of the welfare state: income is on the ground that the enlargement of the sphere of social services in a country where young women experience a significantly worse condition the rest of Europe.

Not very unrealistic situation in which we live?

We know that the balance of power are very far from the possibility of achieving these goals tomorrow and that the processes, not least the heavy decline in the European context, are going in the opposite direction. What is to be built in the meantime, common sense is the knowledge that those policies destroy society and radicalize the crisis. The business model of industrial relations in the United States that you want to import in Italy, with the heavy compression of wages and rights that you have determined, is a cause of the crisis and therefore can not be the solution. We should be able to fix. It does something that the International Monetary Fund to notice in a report in late September last year, that unemployment is unsustainable as it is the growth of inequalities, the crisis is to demand and exports can not substitute for domestic demand, which countries that have introduced more flexible working are paying a higher price in terms of unemployment, restrictive fiscal policies that affect generalized recovery. This was not because, to quote Wallerstein, the IMF, has become "the spokesman of the world left." But it is clear that instability is very high given the crisis and it is equally clear that serves to identify a comprehensive program to rebuild a different common sense and therefore the subjective conditions necessary for a possibility of change.
add a final point, last not least. There is a need to build a framework that holds together these proposals. I think that should be discussed much more to the left what was called in the call this summer the 250 economists and Emiliano Brancaccio in particular has repeatedly made clear: the end of the hegemony of free-swinging, not through the recipe for political protectionist classic that are activated as well - although it is true that in the last two years were hired 332 new protectionist measures at international level - but the idea that it is legitimate to restore mechanisms controlling and limiting the movement of capital, on financial grounds, the investment and trade in goods, where there is sufficient remuneration of labor. A proposal can also be extended to the field of social and environmental protection, and also translated into a technically defined mechanism. If the neo-liberal globalization has been the freedom of capital to field a gigantic process of wage dumping and tax going around the world where it was cheaper, it is assumed that this must be questioned.

How do you combine a project of this type with the "here and now"?

I believe that good ideas are long - as it is essential to equip the strength across Europe - and together serve also practice court. Having a plan is essential to stay in the construction of the conflict and movements. And there are positive signs, even for what concerns us. This party that has spent lavishly in the construction of 16 October, is also strongly in the field now for 28 January. Commitment of partners at Mirafiori in Turin, 130 banquet held in the Veneto to support on 28, to the many ongoing initiatives. It is changing its skin. I was struck by a political committee devoted entirely to disputes in Emilia, the construction of movement, social practices. Many talented young people, and stories also loads of emotion. Like when a friend said that the money collected by orange metalmenccanica to support a dispute, were given by those workers to migrant workers employed by another company, in the factory for cleaning. As if to say to break the field divisions and in reweaving of solidarity, to overthrow the imagination of the scapegoat. Project, conflict, construction of a political and social alternative left.
