The summer soap opera of the Government and the Opposition is taking up all the space on the News. Name after name, old and new groupings. Interviews with ectoplasms and corpses like Rutelli extracted from the sarcophaguses. The fuse of the economy has been lit, but no one is looking after it. The companies are fleeing abroad chasing the brains. Unemployment is expecting the final blow in the next few months when the fund for laid off workers dries up. The usual things have already been said … before the leap into the dark. OK, but how deep is the jump? Without a doubt we are moving at breakneck speed towards the abyss, we haven’t yet discovered how many bones will be broken when we land up on the ground.
Going to the elections now is pure folly. Anyone wanting them is not clear about 3 things: the first is that the Country is in “pre default” and cannot allow itself to have a 6 month period of election stalling without going up in the air. The second is that the current election law is just a wind-up for the citizens (and all the parties are careful not to interfere with it): it doesn’t allow direct voting for the candidates and the parliamentarians would be once more elected at the complete discretion of the party bosses. The third is that Berlusconi would win again, thanks to the total control of the TV stations and the haziness of the opposition of the PDminusL.
Early elections are a “cupio dissolvi” {I want to die} that would bring benefits to some minor parties and would tip Italy into chaos. A solution to wade through the slime in which we are immersed is a technical government lasting long enough to (as far as possible) to get control of the public debt that is exploding in the midst of general silence, to give back to the voters the possibility to choose a candidate, to eliminate election expenses for the parties (thus respecting the referendum) and to enact a law on the conflict of interests that will eliminate the roots of the Berlusconi problem. Is it possible? It seems simple to say it and it would also be simple to do if we didn’t have a Parliament of irresponsible people, of foot-lickers and of social climbers. In the Autumn, the economy will deliver the shock to the System, certainly not chum Fini who for fifteen years has supported the psycho dwarf and now is taking on the “extra-virgin” attitude. However it ends up, these parties, these faces, belong to the album of memories, the only ones who don’t know this are themselves and the journalists. The 5 Star MoVement does not appear in what these dregs of the information system call “political agenda”. I would like to remind everyone that the 5 Star MoVement exists, that it collected half a million votes in 5 Regions using its own funding: 0.8 euro a vote was the cost of the Regional elections. The 5 Star MoVement refused the 1,700,000 euro of funding to the parties (camouflaged as election expenses) while the parties are pocketing A BILION EURO. The 5 Star MoVement will present itself at the national elections, whether or not they are now or in 2013 and in the town council elections in 2011 that relate to many of the provincial capitals like Milan, Turin, Bologna and Genoa. The choice of candidates will take place online by means of the members’ portal (*).
They will never give up (but is it in their interests?). Neither will we.
