educational policy and uncivil society
of Ilvo DIAMONDS
It 's like watching two different films. In Rome and in the territory. In Parliament and in society. E 'already happened in the past, lamenting the gap between the Palace and the Square, between politics and society. Indeed it has become a cliche to contrast these places. The Palace deaf politicians care only to their own problems and interests. La Piazza in turmoil and the boiling water. The company: dynamic, open. Market players: able to march faster, maybe in a disorderly way and confused. But in the same direction. Towards a common goal. The policy, however, divided and stagnant. Away from the square, by the company and the market. Two Italie unable to speak. Communists and Christian Democrats. Right and left. Berlusconi and antiberlusconiani. A country shattered by politics. It also dall'antipolitica. Today, that representation is repeated, but in mirror image and symmetrical. Almost reversed. Political conflicts are not making noise. In the Palaces of clashes and conflicts are distant echoes. Only some discussion, mostly in a low voice. Fortunately. The political strife in recent years, now, we gave disgust. Moreover, there are no grounds for opposition. Missing the underlying causes. In particular: the numbers. In the House as the Senate, the balance of power leaves little room for uncertainty. The government led by Berlusconi has a very large majority in both houses of Parliament. The only possible risks that you run depends on the internal tensions in the coalition itself. Between PDL and the League. And in the PDL, one of the founders: FI and AN. That, until now, have not yet celebrated the rites of termination and later joins the new political unit.
However, it is not just a matter of parliamentary numbers and balances. E '- as they say at this stage - has "changed the climate" between majority and opposition. Even among the leaders, Berlusconi and Veltroni: there is mutual understanding. Talk, talk. Sometimes, perhaps, lively debate. But do not insult any more. Give the impression of listening, understanding, respect each other. Someone speaks, even, so malicious and some 'evil, to "mess". A government "Veltrusconi," to use the new "monster" by Giampaolo Pansa outlined in his colorful and picturesque Bestiary. The CAW, how ironic - so good-natured and an accomplice - the sheet, by binding the Ca (Valiere) W (alter). Difficult, however, accept a confrontation without bias, without prior fractures, after decades of division without mediation. In a country where the suspect is a national sport. E 'changed the climate, then. In Parliament and in the relations between political factions, parties, leaders. E 'became more warm. Almost beautiful. But it also changed out of the palace. In society. Only, here, has worsened. Has deteriorated, dramatized. Incarognito. The "spirit animal" that had pervaded the past and through the market, business, economy, generating innovation and development - as messy - now he moved in social behavior. Territory. Where long-repressed feelings explode, without inhibitions. So he unleashed attacks on camps. Burned even after being evacuated. Thus, citizens' committees - or so-called such - are mobilizing against the construction of villages for the residence of nomads. While the mounting hostility toward immigrants - especially undocumented or illegal. A feeling perhaps understandable, but new intensity. Against a target that, by contrast, is not new. A phenomenon of long-term, difficult to define. Since most of the immigrants before becoming a regular started their career as illegal immigrants. And many become irregular due to the limitations posed by unlikely that more stringent laws unrealistic. In this country, where the political climate suddenly warmed, social fires. Inflamed by sudden flashes. The grievances of the people - and these so-called - against the institutions did not mention to dissolve, but become increasingly violent. The raging anti-politics. While the relationship between the parties takes place on shared basis, the country appears divided. Territorial divisions have been reopened. The distance between the North and South, has never appeared so large. Naples: never too far away from Milan and Treviso. And vice versa. Moreover, even Rome is tired of playing the part of the capital. Enough with the talk of the "caput mundi". But even "Italiae. Prefers to think of herself, watch and listen to its evils; heal their wounds. Not so homeopathic, but shock therapy. In an extreme. If necessary: \u200b\u200bviolent. Even so, the Romans have done away with the smile of Rutelli and the "human face" of Veltroni. Preferring the form of sharp Alemanno. Without worrying too much about his past passion fascist. Indeed ... The Italy of today. Educated, shared moderate political life of the palace. Rude, uniform, extreme and violent in society and territory. Almost the opposite of yesterday. Or maybe: the other day. We do not know whether there are relationships between these two sides of the country. Always symmetrical, dissociated. Yesterday and today. Today as yesterday. And 'as if the company had absorbed the bad example of the political class. And today he could not change the style and behavior. On the contrary: it is as if the "good manners" of political leaders instigator of the worst social instincts. Sure, maybe it's still early. You have to let the dialogue that takes place at the center time to spread around, infecting the periphery. The territory and society. But we who are still dissatisfied, impatient, "regardless." We who are unable to wait for historical processes take their course. We, when we look around us - and we forget what happened yesterday. The nostalgia assails us ... (June 7, 2008)
