#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #ITALY #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) #Italy, UCADI #162 - ATTACK ON THE CONSTITUTION (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 One of the program points shared by the entire right-wing of the political

spectrum - albeit with different facets - is the transformation of the Republic
in a presidential sense: it goes from presidentialism pushed by the ex-missini
neo-fascists, to that tempered by the federalism of the League, to the
gerontocratic one. del Cavaliere, aspiring President in pectore. In any case, the
intent is to bury the Republic born of the Resistance. ---- There is a lot of
identity and ideology in this program which, moreover, has ignoble origins in the
"plan of democratic revival" designed by Licio Gelli and starts from the
presidential reform of the Republic, with the President elected by direct
election and not re-eligible, for "Revitalize" the system through the
solicitation of all the institutions that the Constitution provides and
disciplines, from the organs of the state, to political parties to the press, to
trade unions.
Some of the original objectives have already been achieved, for example, by
abolishing the provinces and reducing the number of parliamentarians, while the
perfect bicameralism remains to be overcome through a "de facto division of
powers between the two Chambers (political function). The reform of the
judiciary, providing for the separation of the careers of public prosecutors and
judging magistrates, the responsibility of the CSM towards the Parliament and, on
the social level, the abolition of the legal value of the qualification. As we
can see, there is very little new except the presence of differentiated autonomy
- on which the two main right-wing parties have different ideas - which pleases
the League and should mitigate the centralization of powers, a possible effect of
presidentialism.
The constitutional reform is an important goal for the right, especially
neo-fascist, which lives on symbols and therefore needs to give a signal of
discontinuity with respect to the 1947 Constitution "settling" the account with
history, rekindling that flame that brings in the symbol for to give a message to
its historical and radical components.
On a substantial level, it needs to build a different relationship with the
institutions to "educate the people" to defend the nation, strengthening the
sense of ethnic belonging and fighting emigration, defending traditional values,
religion, the family, cultivating xenophobia . For these reasons, it aims to
obtain a two-thirds majority in order to be able to make the constitutional
changes. without the need for a confirmatory referendum, but only with the
parliamentary vote.
The implementation of differentiated autonomy should act as an element of
compensation and rebalancing of the centralization constituted by presidentialism
with the aim of hinging resources on the territory in fact accentuating the
imbalances between the different areas of the country. Instead of reflecting on
the bad test given by regionalism during the pandemic in relation to the
management of the health system and drawing from this experience an incentive for
greater coordination of the national system of the national health service by the
Lega, we insist on increasing localism to search for a lost identity, for an
Italy of the communes that would be threatened by emigration and crossbreeding.
For this reason, the positions on school, school programs and training remain
unchanged, although not explicit and confirmed.

The flanks: the third pole

The elusive center - pumped by the pollsters, the well-meaning press, the pundits
- works as a supporter and does not oppose, but shifts the objective to the
direct election of the Prime Minister who would become the holder of an
unprecedented premier. On the other hand, its composition, made up of failed
reformers of the Constitution, defeated by the polls, of political adventurers
and adventurers, business hunters and businessmen themselves, dressed with the
image of a frontmen represented by a fat ox from Parioli, flanked by self-styled
technicians of good governance, he has other interests to have to worry about
democracy, participation and rather privileges oligarchic relationships.
In its 20 points there is everything from the nuclear choice - longing for a
fourth generation nuclear that does not exist and which has unnecessarily
absorbed so many resources - to regasifiers and incinerators, hypothesizes a
militarization of the territory to impose these choices on reluctant citizens.
The reference model is the so-called Draghi agenda, which in fact does not exist,
and in any case consists of a program agreed with the right. All topped off with
the statement that the Renzi government is "the best" the country has had.
The declared objective is the revival of Draghi to the government offered to the
Right as a guarantee and legitimacy mark for the management-sharing of power,
thanks to the extremely expert gang on the subject, made up of the Renzian
political-business class. The alliance between the right and the center is the
real objective of this political business group.

The response of the self-styled democrats and progressives

The parties of the self-styled left, grouped in the electoral cartel partly out
of necessity dictated by the electoral law and partly out of conviction, limit
themselves to saying that the problems of the country are other and at the moment
of maximum effort they cling to the Mattarella simulacrum, identifying in the his
long-lived presence in the Palace the defensive trench, at the most useful to
avert the gerontocratic and unpresentable presidentialism of the aspiring subject
in pectore to dethrone him, asking for his resignation. due to the change in the
institutional structure of the Republic. In fact, the stammerer from Arcore
aspires to crown his cursus honorum by occupying the Quirinale.
Democrats and progressives, instead of simply saying that the problems of the
country are different - which is also true - could and should clearly speak out
against the presidential project, in order to remove any doubt from possible
post-electoral messes. While they wink at possible constitutional reforms, the
heart of their program favors status rights rather than the structural causes of
economic and social hardship.
An example for them should be the measures passed by the Spanish socialist
government that limit the types of fixed-term contracts and encourage companies
to hire employees with more stable or permanent contracts, measures that have
produced a rapid reduction in precariousness.

A ring is heard on the left

The 5 stars aspire to represent the reasons and interests of the social left, in
desperate search for a political space, but still unable to respond with
conviction to the questions that voters ask themselves, in the face of the many
drifts embarked on by the Movement, to the wavering alliances with the right.
Crushed on the sidelines by the electoral law, shattered by the many abandonments
of politicians, however ignoble, the remains of what aspired to be a political
force of profound renewal appear today characterized by candidates generated by
parental relationships, put together in the emergence of an identity crisis
unresolved, the effects of which will perhaps be seen over time, completing a
political landscape that confirms the belief that the only possible alternative
is not to clumsily handle the institutions of direct democracy but to undertake
and practice political and social struggles in which to lay the foundations of
opposition to employer policies and exploitation of labor.
