November 13, 2010: HOW MANY EMOTIONS AND CONCERNS ...!

The Provincial Assembly of the Democratic Party
The Provincial Assembly of the Democratic Party, in which I participate as a delegate of the Circle of Gazzada Schianno and Moray, the recovery is already the work, after the simple lunch buffet. In the morning elected its President Laura Meadows, vice mayor of Cardano al Campo, and proclaimed Provincial Secretary of the PD Fabrizio Taricco, a former mayor and now vice mayor of Carnforth, elected directly from the base, more than 1500 members of as many as 84 local clubs who have held their conventions, the second decade September to 31 October. One bright morning in short, to the decisions taken, the numerous interventions of the delegates and the applause that accompanied each step. Yet the enthusiasm contains , loads of responsibility for the severity of economic and political crisis under way, sober, sober and practical as Taricco was Fabrizio in his report to Secretary-neo.
The Nobel Peace Prize Aung San Suu Kyi
The first real applause , almost liberating, there is the announcement, which excited Emily Cacioppo begins his speech: " Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel prize for peace and civil rights leader in Burma, after 15 years (several times) to arrest, by mobilizing international and 'have finally been freed. This morning, some government officials have gone to his house where he lived the last seven years' imprisonment, to disclose liberation. "

true applause The second, more passionate and political , there is work to be concluded by now, when even the provincial proposal by the new secretary to the regulations (and disputed by fringes with a certain liveliness dissatisfied with the way used in its composition, was put to a vote, and approved) occurs when the Hon. Daniel Marantelli announced that: "After the PD and IDV, EVEN THE PARTIES AND PARLIAMENTARY GROUP OF CENTRAL SAY" FLI ", UDC, MPA, API - have chosen to submit a motion of confidence in the government-BERLUSCONI BOSSI.

am It is now 17.00 when the delegates, after a busy and sometimes hectic day of political confrontation and operational decisions, leaving the "De Filippi, loads of responsibility and awareness of the political struggle taking place at national and local levels and the role leading the party has to perform, both in view of the government crisis just around the corner, is ahead of local elections in the spring that will affect the most important centers of our province: Varese, Busto Arsizio, Gallarate, Malnate.

Fabrizio Greetings, greetings PD, ITALY Greetings!

Fabrizio Taricco, at the end of the assembly greeted the delegates.

PS. The report of the new secretary, and Fabrice Taricco many odg approved, will certainly be published on the website of the Provincial PD ( click on the picture to access Taricco ), thus avoiding to bring back here a synthesis that would certainly be imperfect. To allow the Democrats instead of the Circle of Gazzada Schianno and Moray and meet requests of many friends and comrades met in the Assembly reproduce below the full text of which I have summarized in the classroom to meet the set time of 5 minutes for all interventions . However, this is the same text submitted to the Presidency of the Assembly.




Moray, November 13, 2010
First meeting of the Provincial Assembly of the PD



Friends, companions, Democrat,
"We have waited all my life Democratic Party, we did not know if there would ever meet him, in the course of our political experience. We wanted, we looked together. It's been just three years, we are just at the beginning of a long journey, Pierluigi, I want you to know that we will maintain the commitment to build this party together. "
are the words with which Dario Franceschini, concluded his speech to the National Assembly, October 9 at Malpensa.
I quote because I fully recognize that commitment, without giving up my ideas, without losing the identity of Area Dem, but fully persuaded to put them to further the unity of the Party, Provincial of the House and the Circle of Gazzada - Moray come from.
E 'this spirit, in addition to the appreciation for the experience and personal qualities of Fabrizio, who made me share the utility area along with Democratic converge on a single candidate to the provincial secretary. A choice of office responsibilities, criticized by many, but now, in light of the electoral challenges that lie ahead, we must all appreciate a bit 'more.
At the national level is the severity of the crisis of the center-right and the danger of his shots of the queue to recommend to all the party unity. But a drive that can not and should not be differences of mortification, renunciation or even harsh criticism!


THE LEAGUE
In the province of Varese, in Lombardy in general, it requires the hypertrophic and suffocating hegemony League and, a bit 'underestimated at least in public debate, and that of Communion Liberation and the Companionship of Works, its operating arm in the economy. A hegemony built by the League sull'esasperazione and distortion of itself is not negative feelings (such as the desire for security, legal, social justice, efficiency, certain future for themselves and their children), but interpreted in key selfish and emphasized, in identifying targets of convenience and purely propaganda, to remove obstacles to their full realization. CL instead has built its hegemony through its occupation by the followers of too many boards of directors in public bodies, from the Regional Health and broke it reinforced by a lobbyist, through the CDO and companies members, creating for them preferential relationships with public capable of moving large sums of money in private contracts and negotiations, such as health and education.
The province of Varese was the cradle of the League and now they have a gym, but also the last bastion that Bossi's followers will give up and under whose collapse will leave buried.
I'm not a dreamer, an optimist to the bitter end, but I think to be realistic and understand how he is doing that for a large part of the league is over the momentum: they have long been the dirty white robe of the early hours. A white robe, then, in the early '90s, only to split the opposition to the mud by the investigations of "clean hands" that investigation, the League has nourished, and become strong! E 'became electorally strong, but that consensus has only served to fill the spaces traditionally contracted the undergrowth Government (asl, water, waste management, transportation, utilities, etc ...).


of that consensus has served to strengthen his bargaining power with Berlusconi, which approved all the laws ad personam to save it from the processes, it also covers the latest case of wrongdoing about Ruby. And to think that in the early 90s (out of 1 Berlusconi government), the League had submitted his former ally to a barrage of accusations and suspicions to the serious business of Fininvest (up to turn to private investigators to find more).
The Presidio League represented by Varese maybe it will be the last to fall, but will fall if we take the battle on the ground truth, which is crucial as the values.
not beat the League, speaking of markings on the asphalt roads and parking lots, the color of pedestrian crossings and the number of cameras that control the territory or collection point or a "case of water or milk" . On these issues have not committed many errors, have been careful, knowing that these achievements bring visibility and give ratings.


In fact their weakness is having bluffed on the issues of personal safety and social, downloading on immigrants is responsible for all violence and all personal and social insecurity. "Masters in our house" was the slogan of this maneuver spy dirty, a bit 'has soiled the image of our people, usually welcoming, supportive, open. "Masters in our house," borrowed from the violent propaganda by nationalist Serb Radovan Karadzic, is not really penetrated deep into people's consciousness Lombard, the Lombards are champions because of the voluntary civil defense or national solidarity typical of Caritas Ambrosiana Alpine Association and the thousands of pro-spot: a very different culture from the conditions leaguers!
E 'values \u200b\u200bso that we do battle, a battle will be long, but can only be successful because it is the only one that reflects the true and deep feeling of the citizens of Lombardy, like the rest of Italy.


VALUES
talk about values, I can not recall the speech of the Lingotto, steeped in the culture of "development solidarity" that is part better defined and therefore more deeply shared image of the party.
A "joint development" not only possible but the only really possible, because that adjective, "solidarity", is the respect due to every human being: people, animals, our environment, the planet that our host, future generations to whom we must deliver. Requires an intense need for solidarity to the same race "unbridled globalization" that is the daughter of selfishness, and as such generates selfishness, conflicts, violence, destroying the very premises of life! Cardinal Tettamanzi is right, to warn us sternly that "there is no future without solidarity."
The basis of the principle of solidarity, to make it daily practice, there is another essential principle, given by Gustavo Zagrebelsky very foundation of democracy: respect for the human person, of all people, especially in the past.


Varese in Lombardy and this must mean active policies, which do not cause sun voluntary associations, for the 'integration of foreigners, the reintegration of the "outcasts of all kinds and Culture, the inclusion of excluded and different! It 's time we take these concepts to announce without fear, without cultural subordination, without fear of losing votes!
The ideological war waged by the League and Berlusconi, has made our society richer, we do not put away the global economic crisis, it has made us free, and what is worse, it made us better . He only made explicit subversive political designs, developed by time, and personal models of living far from sober, as the time and the role would require, but more intrusive, arrogant and cynical!
What does that mean in practical terms, as is reflected in administrative programs this choice of solidarity?
He's an example in a simple, but clear and convincing, opening this summer of the Democratic party Casorate Sempione, Laura Prati, in the debate on the budget package in July. "The towns - said, will suffer tremendous cuts that will impact on family services, law education, assistance. Municipalities not coin money and then tighten the belt touches, but if there is a euro, this will go towards the family, school, young people. We will leave a few holes on roads, asphalting it some less or we will fade some white line, but we will not lack support to families and the school. " And I add. If there is a euro for primary schools will serve the integration, which means not to leave immigrants to small cultural mediation and support, making them feel understood and accepted as soon as possible! But it also means to march hand in hand efforts to integrate children with that of their parents. Limiting the intervention to young people often means increasing the contradictions in the family, contradictions As the children grow up (from Western and Italian) generate irreparable tragedies and sometimes daily, unbearable tension. Family reunion can not be just a bureaucratic practice, but an active policy to point to the real reunification of the family and that is to maintain its internal harmony.


PEACE
talk about values \u200b\u200byou can not talk about peace, which can not be just an utopia, but it must be the sum of all our concrete political action.
I've said it before, and I'm not afraid of repeating myself, because "Solidarity and Peace in the Democratic Party can not fail to have full citizenship. Values \u200b\u200bare what we can not have horizons to peer, and different programs and ideas contrary to those of the right.
And I think the market for weapons, the only market that knows no crisis between 2008 and 2009, Italian exports of weapons is grew in value by 74% (data of IRES Toscana, presented in Terra Futura-Florence, on May 29 last year) coming to lick fee of € 5 billion per year. And that in times of economic crisis pushes some to be too happy, too happy (even in our party) making him forget that we talk about instruments of death. This ease makes me afraid.


I mention this issue because we are all convinced that the Democratic Party is a party of government temporarily in opposition and which most likely will return to the government, maybe in a few months.
Then all, starting from the awareness that we live in a world increasingly more globalized, we must know that or this party is given a coherent multi-ethnic solidarity, respectful of persons, their rights, or in other words you do every day to work for peace, and then finalize its proposal and any action or policy to this objective is less to its function, because today you can not defend peace only within their own borders. Peace or is global or not at all. Nor is it possible to defend our wealth without willingness to question the basics, without willingness to share it, knowing that when you share, you pass something it gets a little 'lighter, but more just.
How to accept an immigrant, an exile and then leave it on the street, without nationality and without social and political rights? But above all, how do you think of participating in peacekeeping missions, more and more armed for war? How do you imagine a different role for Italy and then it is accepted that a public company or otherwise controlled by the very public, such as Finmeccanica, will be holding its seventh global war production?
We forgot that we the people of Peace, that of Aldo Capitini and marches for peace and brotherhood between peoples (the Perugia-Assisi). We are the country and, as a party, the heirs of Giorgio La Pira, that anxiety for peace he lived in a concrete commitment political utopia to the limit and without borders. We are the country in which the utopia, the dream of peace, has been able to lean on concrete targets, as in the days of military service: the recognition of 'conscientious objection to military service "or the launching of a more transparent legal Arms Trade ", which is now trying to water down.
In those battles were not entirely foreign even those parties and movements (or important parts of them) that today are recognized in the cultural and political life represented by the PD, I remember because that spirit can not be sacrificed, especially in the rich Lombardy, the logic of the market. We are not were strangers and then, a fortiori, we can not be now, as we witness the failure of military intervention in Afghanistan (a war that has already lasted longer than that of Vietnam in the 60s!) and the failure of the increasing political muscle of the Israeli authorities against Palestinians, which finally seems to give way to peace negotiations.


should look for different solutions, different ways ... to build pathways to peace in the spirit of Article. 11 of our Constitution and paragraph 7 of the Manifesto of Values \u200b\u200bof the Democratic Party.
talking about peace, I must say I really liked the proposal (and reminds him when we force the government) to buying arms moratorium, made by Franceschini in Cortona last May, when he said: "I do not know if it's too left, for example, think of a moratorium on the purchase of weapon systems by our government. But I think at a time like this the most serious social crisis, in which it is hard to scrape together the resources to alleviate the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people, and frankly incomprehensible, and I would say even beyond the threshold of things morally acceptable to spend on weapons war. 10 billion in three years, they have planned. "


Dario Franceschini was referring to the commitments made by Italy, in partnership with other countries, for the design, production and procurement of the F-35 fighter bombers (which are discussed in the Report of the November 21 episode, not perdiamolo this event!) to which companies will also work in our province.
For the record: the first signature was placed on that agreement, for Italy, the Minister Andreatta in 1996 (the first Prodi government) while the most recent commitments have been signed by the Russian minister in April last year (last Berlusconi government). Last hope in an absolute sense!
International agreements signed Italy, to participate in research, the financing and production of the F-35 (fighter that can drop bombs from a height of 5000 m) provide for the construction of warehouses to the assembly of the F35, in the military airport of Cameri. The cost of this facility in Italy will exceed 600 million euros in addition to one billion and 200 million dollars already spent on research.
addition, Italy, for the 'purchase of the aircraft (about 130 units) will need to invest not less than € 10 billion, not counting the cost of maintaining those aircraft that require it.
So I wonder, even going beyond what is said Dario Franceschini, when we have the courage to commit (with a healthy realism requires gradation) for unilateral moratoria also, not only the purchasing of new weapons systems, but also in the use of those already in possession of our FF AA, in the same production of weapons systems and death?
course in Varese is not an easy theme to be addressed and resolved, the implications for employment that has, but it is also necessary that the PD launches a challenge to a strong economic and social development and unique language that speaks of life, which take the value of a groomed to those of Life often has only an instrumental use! I think the media use that right makes all the ethical issues, "the beginning of a new life at an end "and shudder at the thought that we be able to work effectively - knowing that the road ahead is long and bumpy - conversion to a gradual, reasonable, arms industry, which has nothing utopian or dogmatic, but that would be entirely consistent with the "vocation of solidarity" of the citizens themselves Lombard.


Italy is the country's "civil protection" and an "Italian style" in "peacekeeping missions" has made his business card in the world: Well, how many technologies and skills can transfer from emergencies military to the environmental, social, humanitarian? How many economic resources may be diverted from military to civilian, and used for the defense of the territory left to decay for decades, a landslide area that sweeps under your feet and goods, people and dreams .. and perhaps even the future of our children? How many resources now invested in the production of machinery or equipment of death, may be open to investment for the production of machinery and equipment for life, such as aerospace monitoring of the area and around the world and the transformations that interest you?
Lombardy is the region that has a civil protection - by number of volunteers, skills acquired, passion applied, the means, mission accomplished (even abroad) - may well be called the heart of the Civil Protection in Italy: it is a good starting point to imagine that this region could become a center of excellence , pointing to the creation of a "Civil Protection Sector," with a close connection between the operating structures, research institutions and industry? It would benefit the practice of international relations, the search for peace and cooperation among peoples and perhaps we should serve less competition in world markets! This is the party that dream, I've always dreamed of. E 'this party by wide horizons that the speech Lingotto did prefigure and this is the party that I love.

PRAISE OF DISSENT, Don Renato Sacco. From "Mosaic of Peace."


The Tricolor in recent years, too wrapped coffins of dead young man on a mission of peace! When we say: enough!
The Party of National Unity and the Armed Forces, which this year is a bit 'everywhere will celebrate the Sunday after the November 4, comes at a time really dark, sad to say, for our democracy, because of institutional decorum betrayed by government leaders, with serious repercussions on the national community that lives a disconnect very deep and agonizing between top and base. And this happens at the national level, but also smaller local level. There

detachment, there is a distance between the sidereal and principles as they recite their declination in daily practice, with people or institutions that are close to them, with varying degrees of responsibility but the same negative impact on public opinion , are concerned only with their personal facts: that it is indecent "amusements" of easy enrichment of tax havens or smaller local harassment does not matter as long as first and foremost the personal pleasure it is claimed, the private gain, interest group or party!
were right, the President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano to defend, in a speech on Nov. 4, national unity and values \u200b\u200bon which it is based. But his appeal had resonance in these days when the country is suspended by a slender thread angle between the "bunga bunga " Berlusconi and the "plug " Fini that does not decide to pull out? A plug that also the country, caught in the grip of crisis, has already gone a long time.
Sunday, November 7, the Tricolore will be on display everywhere (apart from the sad exception of some irreducible Mayor League, which has still not clear that the only thing that dervish is ashamed of the support given by the League to the government in office) : and I will explain the , at his side, as always, will explain also the flag of peace. But I'll do it without rhetoric, without joy , I will think that men and women who are victims of all wars, especially those of today, and not as "models" or "heroes" to celebrate, but as luck guys, want to cry! Boys in which a policy is unnecessary muscle has taken away the joy of living: yes because I think that each of them would have just wanted to live!
I could stop here, but I think the beginning of this reflection can usefully continue to read what he wrote Don Renato Sacco Mosaic for Peace, because of the holidays of the November 4.

In praise of dissent

November 3, 2010 - Renato Sacco

The Assembly applauds a middle-aged man who - embarrassed or intimidated by the proximity of the powerful - is unable or unwilling to distance themselves from the request in mo 'stop' I have a girl to be placed between these ... stands ...". And the answer is "I can". Who is that man? And who are those who applaud?
I think it may be our picture. Each of us when, out of fear, subjection, convenience or interest, we prefer to indulge, instead of giving consent to express dissent.
The powerful always need consent. Otherwise, their power collapsed. This applies at every level, political, economic, military.
There is the risk of giving consent, though seemingly far away, in what is happening in Iraq: the massacre of Christians in the Syrian Catholic Church on Sunday 31 October, and then all of these killings and other violence days.
An agreement made perhaps of silence, because the news media are others.
An agreement given to war to export democracy. Consensus more or less veiled the great deal of gun lobby made in Italy that has managed to sell in Iraq, in 2009 alone, more than 3 billion euro. All security and police?
few years ago in a place in the hands of terrorists have been found thousands of Italian small arms, with the serial number of counterfeit, almost a confirmation that there were 'stolen' the local police, but it was a large supply ... somehow ended in the hands of terrorists. But the consensus is strong arms, also because it brings a lot of money.
Just the Iraqi friends asked me recently: "Why so many guns? What weapons are in the hands of terrorists? Prosecutor Who? ".
Maybe there is a tacit consent to the project of dividing Iraq into three parts, Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites, thus eliminating the minorities.
The consensus is sometimes quiet, bordering on indifference.
And we are also asked to consent to war oratory in recent days, close to November 4th, the anniversary of Victory Day and Armed Forces and National Unity. How much rhetoric! Milan have also placed, as last year, no less than two warplanes in Piazza Duomo! Who gave the permission?
Which consent is sought with gestures like that?
consent to the wars of today, calls for peace missions, using the memory of World War I, the more than 650 million dead killed in what the Pope at the time called it "a useless massacre."
Yes, he used the very word 'massacre', the same used to describe and condemn what has happened in that church in Baghdad on Sunday.
It is tragic that the power to use the dead of World War I, perhaps calling them heroes, when they were just poor people forced to make war against their will. And you do not remember instead of the popular opposition to the war was very extensive and the declaration of war, the army also grew. Over 5 million 500 thousand mobilized for World War I, 870,000 were reported for insubordination. More than 15%.
And we know that those who did not obey orders to attack with the cry 'forward Savoy!' was also shot on the spot. Power, let alone the military does not allow dissent ... Beware
then any form of consent given to the power, not to be accomplices. Also reminds us of the promotional campaign of Mosaic of peace.
And finally, just thinking about the November 4: There is a very different thing between us and those who have been forced to make the first World War.
They could not object. Cadorna had ordered immediate executions and reprisals.
They could not refuse to give consent. Us.

Large Fluid Lump Under Dog's Tail

Communion and Employment.

Moray: a combination of nursery and primary school
Until a few days ago the idea of \u200b\u200bdedicating a post to Communion and Liberation, referring to Moray and the school, not even touched me from a distance. Not because CL did not exist here, but because in Lombardy Governor Formigoni the "literature" on the relationship between CL and the World Health Organization, the world of school and CL, CL, and the business community is already large, diverse, documented and also made extensive network of dozens of bloggers. And 'rich, varied, but I guarantee you, it is not pleasant reading. No, there are rumors red light, it is said frequently to minors or actresses (Berlusconi, the CL, we recommend it, rate it, supporting it, are careful not to criticize and ask for consistency and morality, but I do not yet happened to read that imitate the style life ...) But there is told with abundant detail, large capacity, unparalleled attitude to place his own men or women on the boards of hospitals, government agencies, foundations and private schools, and to select their suppliers of works or services always guaranteed (by CL, of course) and always DOC, or better, CdO.


There is a plan for dismantling the public school , carried out by ministers and Tremonti Gelmini with drastic cuts to staff (less than 80,000 jobs) and finance (less than € 8 billion and a half in three years) that, in the Region of Lombardy, is a solid bank made of concrete measures, funding directly or indirectly to private schools and between those of CL, the slogan "Freedom of education " as part of a political program that aims to " Less state, more companies," in fact has become program government. These measures
registers, for example, the foundation of the Lombardy Region megafinanziamento Charis Cream of 4.5 million euro for the construction of a private school which will be managed directly by Communion and Liberation. This is one of the most striking events that occurred in Lombardy in the last two years, which has aroused a great sensation, both in traditional media that the "network" and that saw the students lead a protest Cream sacrosanct, that it is joined quickly and intelligently to protest against cuts to the school the duo Gelmini-Tremonti.
And then the launch of the "good school" - now "dowry for the freedom of choice" - bestowed last year to almost 70,000 of 98,000 students in private schools in Lombardy and finished (thanks to the 'income indicator ", the variant of convenience ISEE certificate) in the pockets of parents of students with incomes up to € 200,000 a year.

To achieve this, the regional government Formigoni-League has rigged the rules of the game. In fact, while parents who send their children in public schools, in order to obtain a small contribution, they must produce the certificate Isee (imposing an obligation to declare income even more than the entire balance sheet), for applicants for a "good school " in private schools, not only are there far more tolerant of income, but it is not necessary to declare the balance sheet . And so in economic crisis, while in public schools, families are forced to give support to teachers or the mediator and maybe even pay toilet paper, 80% of regional funds for the right to education is for schools Private, home to less than 10% of the school population!

What hits everything with Moray? Center, because the design to get their hands on the school, and in particular on the training of boys, men and women of tomorrow, not just the big cities, covers the whole territory, so even small communities, and among them Moray. And, if Moray there are still possible to secure public funding to build a school from scratch to mark CL, why not 'Okkupati "of an existing school and it made a" school logo CL "?


And so CL has set his sights on non-State Primary School " Antonini "in the training offer (Address of Montessori) parents at least the last 15-20 years have always been very satisfied, but the CL is not interested because, you know, the Montessori method requires freedom, does not accept obstacles to free expression of the personality of children, etc ... So
kindergarten "Antonini 'is the only school available in the square and it will be her to be" Okkupati. The occasion provides the renewal (6 councilors out of 7) of the CDA that is composed of seven directors (two nominated by the parish priest, two appointed by the City Council, two by the parents and the 7th from the first 6), which shall elect the within the president.

CL Okkupati have thought that the nursery school, encouraging the establishment of a CDA "friend" would have been a game, relying on the weight that the Municipal Council and the equally undisputed that the life of the parish and the ' oratory, through an authoritative presence in the pastoral council.
Chronicle, widely reported in the press tells us that the online operation was in port. And how could it be otherwise? CL has done it: he Okkupati kindergarten, and did march with hiking boots on good people who deserve our esteem, people so far are dedicated to children no other goal than wanting to ensure a peaceful growth, free, balanced, in a stimulated and their friend. It does so without political or ideological blinders and constraints of local power and, above all, absolutely free.
CL has done it, disappointing the vast majority of parents now fear that the training offer substantive changes, changes that casts a shadow on the image of the school.

What will happen now? Parents and members of the CDA, at least the most reasonable and self-doubt will ensure that children do not live in this sad affair without any disturbance and especially that there is no undue interference in the training methods and educational programs. The League's opposition to the municipal administration, but apparently cultural guide to the CL, will then be able to explain to the whole country is at stake is not only the nursery "Antonini", but public schools in general government Bossi-Berlusconi wants to dismantle or downgraded in favor of private schools : a plan selfish, because it tends to privilege the already privileged classes life, but also a plan uneconomic that while funding private schools, left to rot public property, while allowing "good school" to wealthy families, cuts funds for research, who are the future of this country, and reduce service in public schools (fewer hours, more students in the classroom, teachers support less and less mediators). Not a nice situation and who really care about the public school, to everyone, without distinction of wealth, religious or political belief, or ethnic origin, we have to fight to ensure the all-encompassing design, right-wing government , to mortify, or worse, to dismantle the public school and the private privilege.

concludes by proposing an excerpt of the speech of Piero Calamandrei made its Third Congress in defense of the School national, held in Rome on 11 February 1950.

Its actuality is incredible, fears Calamandrei then, after 60 years, now become a real risk.

Calamandrei Piero's speech.

" Let us assume, so theoretically, there is a ruling party, a ruling party, which, however, formally wants to respect the constitution, not want to violate the substance. It does not make the march on Rome and transform the classroom space for the paddles, but wants to establish, without opinion, a disguised dictatorship.
So, what do gain control of the schools and to transform the State schools into Party schools? He realizes that the State schools have the defect of being impartial. There is some resistance, in those schools is always there, even under fascism has been there. Then, the dominant party follows another path (it's all a theoretical hypothesis, mind you).
starts to neglect the public schools, to discredit, to impoverish. Let it anemizzino and begins to favor private schools. Not all private schools. The schools of his party, that party. And then all these treatments are beginning to go to private schools. Cure of money and privileges. He even begins to advise the boys to go to these schools, because basically it says are better than those of the state. And maybe give themselves awards, as now I will tell you, or proposes to give awards to citizens who are willing to send their children to public schools instead
to private schools. A "those" private schools. The exams are easier, unless you study and you do best.
So the private school becomes a privileged school. The ruling party, unable trasformareapertamente the State schools in Party schools, send the dogs to schools to give priority to the state's private schools.
careful, friends, this conference this is the point that we must discuss.
Warning, this is the recipe. We must keep an eye on the cooks of this low kitchen.
The operation is done in three ways: you've already told you: ruin the State schools. Let go to hell. Depleting their budgets. Ignore their needs. Mitigate the supervision and control over private schools. Do not check its reliability. Let the teachers teach you that do not have the minimum qualifications to teach. Let the examinations are jokes.
Giving public money to private schools.
This is the point. Giving public money to private schools "
