seizure and bayonets BEFORE: NOW ON FEDERALISM
Lino Patruno
Italy
One morning she woke up and found herself a federalist. It 'amazing how we have come to overwhelm the country in general sleep. As if history had not taught him anything, we are reliving what happened 150 years ago in the same random and robbery. Except that then, more harm than good, there was a united Italy, now is starting disunited Italy, a turning point almost general indifference. Especially the South and those who represent it, because at least then you did hear the robbers. Southern politicians of the Risorgimento, treated more or less plagued by the parliament of Turin, became accomplices of the laws against the South to defend their privileges semibaronali. Now the southern politicians, a bit 'bored by the very few speakers crickets, providing reassurance that federalism will respond well to the south, or rather Italy, the dividend will be truly united.
what gets them, it is not clear. As if still resented the complex of shame, the South 150 years ago in the new Member submissive to the point where even feel guilty about the harm that they did.
amazing is that it is creating Italy in which the rich will always be più ricchi e i poveri sempre più poveri perché così vuole un partito territoriale con l’8 per cento dei voti. E solo nordici. E con tutti gli altri che non reagiscono. O almeno ne discutano. E’ vero che l’Italia doveva nascere federale già nel 1861 e che allora si sbagliò col centralismo piemontese: lo ha detto anche il presidente Napolitano. Il centralismo che impose al Sud pure una tassa per pagare le spese della conquista militare subìta: vi abbiamo "liberato" e ci rimborsate. Il centralismo che mandò al Sud i dipendenti pubblici più inetti, patibolari e corrotti per spezzargli le gambe. Ma una cosa era nascere federale allora, un’altra diventarlo adesso.
In tutto questo tempo l’Italia unit has been disunited by economic and social gap unparalleled in any major Western democracy. Result of national policies wrong or at least careless, because even the most rogue South would be able to get a lot of damage on its own (also seen that the regions were created only in 1970). But to remedy that gap that was not there at the time of Unity, and that if there was ever more extended, it says, holding things at the moment, each on its own. Indeed each held his own. Very convenient.
If you really, as they say, fiscal federalism will be good for the whole of Italy (and more especially in the South), should not have been born in a climate so A climate of hostility to the South more of reckoning (which, anyway?) that national harmony. A climate in which the Neapolitans "stink", the southern teachers if they return to their homes and Radio Padania in Salento spews venom anti-southerners. A climate, unfortunately, no different from that, still, 150 years ago, when Italy became united with bayonets and shootings. It may jeopardize the future of the people because he wants 8 percent? You can change history, with 51 percent of the majority?
still say: administer themselves with greater responsibility in the South will do well but it is moving towards the inevitable without there being a single figure that belies the more ovvia previsione: aumenteranno le spese e di conseguenza le tasse. Soprattutto ai danni del Sud che ancòra peggio non vorrebbe stare. Perché così è avvenuto a ogni riforma, per quanto opportuna. E col rischio che anche questa degeneri in una nuova gigantesca burocrazia che fra Stato ed enti locali raddoppi il suo mostruoso apparato: come avvenuto appunto con le Regioni. E mentre ci spazza la crisi economica.
E poi, questi amministratori meridionali presunti incapaci e spendaccioni. Ce ne sono. Ma c’è anche che sindaci e presidenti affrontano al Sud problemi di sopravvivenza non di abbondanza. In un Paese indebitatissimo che non può fare la lezione a nessun amministratore visto che aumenta costantemente la sua spesa annua invece to reduce it. And he has never driven any responsibility for that debt. But the South is the only dirty, ugly and bad.
The South suffers once again his fate. Federalism, Federalism. It may also be needed and what it takes, see calmly and without false papers. But please do not let him decide to Bossi and his companions. I do like their job too well to think of those who vote and their good life. But the South, federalism selfish "each takes his money" if they found him, its politicians have respected more party discipline that the interest of their land, its voters have not been able once again to defend themselves. Indeed we have seen quasi intimare: non fate vostre Leghe, quasi fosse solo un diritto altrui. Come a dire, purtroppo e sempre, che non si è Sud a caso.
