Break the silence "The path of democracy is an easy path. For this we must be constantly vigilant, not resign ourselves to the worst, but even indulge in a quiet trust in the future inevitably progressive humanity ... The difference between my generation and that of our fathers is that they were democratic optimism. We are, we must be more democratic in alarm. " Norberto Bobbio
Break the silence Never before the alarm is justified. We assist unmistakable signs of decay in society: loss of civic, public and private corruption, disregard for legality and equality, and impunity for the strong constraint for the weak, freedom as a privilege and not as rights. When social ties are placed at risk, no wonder the secessionist ideas, impulses racist and xenophobic, vulgarity, arrogance and violence in relations between individuals and groups. Especially concerned about the passive acceptance that penetrates into the culture. A new incipient legality is seeking to demean the Constitution. Are no defects or occasional deviations, but warning signs on which you try to draw a veil of silence, a veil that perhaps one day be lifted and show you what's hiding, but it will be too late.
not see is not wish to see. We do not know the outcome, but we feel that democracy hangs in the balance.
Few countries in the world face the current economic crisis and social decay in an ethical and institutional extensive and advanced, with weak and contested rules, common reference points deleted and inadequate management teams. Democracy has never benefited from a crisis like the present. This may indeed be an occasion for reflection and renewal, but can also easily be the breeding ground for demagoguery, that from which our country, especially, is not immune.
La demagogia è il rovesciamento del rapporto democratico tra governanti e governati. La sua massima è: il potere scende dall’alto e il consenso si fa salire dal basso. ll primo suo segnale è la caduta di rappresentatività del Parlamento. Regole elettorali artificiose, pensate più nell’interesse dei partiti che dei cittadini, l’assenza di strumenti di scelta delle candidature (elezioni primarie) e dei candidati (preferenze) capovolgono la rappresentanza. L’investitura da parte di monarchie o oligarchie di partito si mette al posto dell’elezione. La selezione della classe politica diventa una cooptazione chiusa. L’esautoramento del Parlamento da parte del governo, dove siedono monarchi e oligarchi di partito, è una conseguenza, di cui i decreti-legge e le questioni di fiducia a ripetizione sono a loro volta conseguenza.
La separazione dei poteri è fondamento di ogni regime che teme il dispotismo, ma la demagogia le è nemica, perché per essa il potere deve scorrere senza limiti dall’alto al basso. Così, l’autonomia della funzione giudiziaria è minacciata; così il presidenzialismo all’italiana, cioè senza contrappesi e controlli, è oggetto di desiderio.
Ci sono però altre separazioni, anche più importanti, che sono travolte: tra politica, economia, cultura, e informazione; tra pubblico e privato; tra Stato e Chiesa. L’intreccio tra questi factors of community life, which created collusion and concentrations of power, often invisible and unmentionable always, is the true anomaly of our great country. Economics, politics, information, culture, religion, feed each other: they grow, they become corrupt and compromise with each other. The major issues of incompatibilities and conflicts of interest, public ethics, secularism relate these separations of power and are much less present on the political agenda as he talks nonsense.
Above all, the result is before us is a terrible regime closed oligarchies of prey, which sucks from the top, requires inequality, wants to deal with customers / users unaware or were told, who rejected to defend their dignity, will not enslaved, mortify the fresh energy and away the best. It is a matter of justice but also of the decline of our country in one piece.
look at reality, as it is worrying. We assert our rights as citizens. We consider every day a starting point, rather than an end point. That is, defeating the resignation and try to give good results in anger.
* * * What can we do then we, members and friends of Freedom and Justice? We can grow our forces to join them intelligences, cultures and energies of those that make our country and live for the sake of themselves and their children are not resigned to his decline. With these primary objectives.
First, counter proposals upheaval of the Constitution, such as presidentialism and the attraction of the jurisdiction under the influence of the executive. In the current political conditions of our country, they were not instruments of efficiency and consolidation of democracy but an expression of populist oligarchies.
Defending the law against the laxity and corruption, asking the parties that aspire to represent us not to tolerate in-house fixer and corrupt, although carriers of the votes. Do not use the candidates in the elections improper as resources to solve internal problems, to redraw the characters, to pay bills, to give in to blackmail. Promoting, even so, the mandatory replacement of the ruling class.
Do not let the issue die incompatibilities and conflicts of interest, a crucial issue, which can not be reduced subject to the contingent political controversy, an issue of right and left have dropped. Reaffirming the boundary line, that is, secularism without adjectives, in the relationship between the State and the Catholic Church, independent and sovereign "each in its own" do not belong to the civil law, if not in the theocratic state, the order of the Church.
promote political culture, critical thinking, a network of relationships between people equally interested in civil society and political activity, under the banner of constitutional values.
are ambitious but not unrealistic if the collective voice of freedom and justice can be heard and weighed. For this reason we ask for your membership.
