This is my first interview for the newspaper to the Other. It 'been a pleasure for me to make a very interesting chat with former Health Minister Prodi's last government, Livia Turkish. The theme was of course that the congress of the Democratic Party. I hope you like it.
On Turkish, what is the task of the congress of the Democratic Party? What do you expect?
"From this first conference, I expect to be filled that void created by his birth, namely the lack of a clear policy debate on the foundations. At stake here is not the quality of the candidate but a political platform. "
Veltroni described the platform Bersani" in the evolution of the PCI-PDS-DS. "
"It seems to me a comfortable reading this. If that were the accessions such as Enrico Letta, Rosy Bindi, Marco Follini, can not be explained. No, this reading actually evades a question, namely, that this great project represented by the intuition of the PD, namely the contamination of cultures, the creation of a new reformist political thought and popular participation, has not been achieved. The Pd in \u200b\u200bthese 20 months has made three errors: the declination of democratic thought exclusively in Newly key, the concept of vocation as a vocation bipartisan majority. Last error, that of a unanimous view of participation, a kind of plebiscite on the left.
So what?
should revive the Democratic Party from its original mission, that of cultural contamination and the creation of a new reformist political thought. It should not be throw away the experience of the Olive. So how to conceive the idea of \u200b\u200ba party rooted in the territory is not to propose a scrap. Means but to return to practice a certain idea of \u200b\u200bpolitical participation as a time for change. Just to put it as Amartya Sen conceive an idea of \u200b\u200bpolitics as "government by discussion".
To do this, however, need the balance of power. We need people to change society. Just to get on concrete issues to me it seems incredibly modern vision of Bersani that you exit from the crisis by creating opportunities for all through systems of social mobility. It 's so that fight inequalities and that's how Barck Obama is trying to do in the United States. "
How do you imagine the new Democratic Party?
"I think in general in Italy, is necessary in a democracy that gives institutions more efficient and representative face live all the values \u200b\u200bof the Constitution. I also believe it is necessary in today's world, raise a leading role in the world of work. This idea, however, takes no great collective subjects. Our democracy must come to promote the world of work as a ruling class, and recover a relationship with those fields made of social insecurity and fragility, too often left on the sidelines.
"I see an approach Bersani fruitful in the phrase that 'we must build a new party with 150 years of history'. E 'right, is that kind of spirit and practice that should be allocated. The problem of democracy today is precisely to adopt the point of view of the weakest and those most socially vulnerable. Many studied political science, also show that it is precisely the world of work to be difficult to be represented by the policy and it is difficult even for the latter to give political weight to the same labor market. As it is very complex in modern democracies represent the extremes is the weakest, as often happens to immigrants, is the most innovative, just by virtue of their status as cutting-edge manufacturing and technology, the experts think of new technologies and the Internet, you do not feel represented by the policy for different reasons. "
What should be the relationship between members and voters of the Democratic Party?
"I think the PD should be made a party of members and militants. It seems pointless to distinguish with the voters, or those who vote in the primaries, or those who participate via the Internet. Any form of participation should be valued. I believe these are organizational problems solved once it has defined its mission, and the plot of values \u200b\u200bof the Democratic Party. The substance policy is that to meet the challenges that before we are organized collective subjects. "
We come to another point. The ethical issues. We need a clearer line on many issues by the Democratic Party or not?
"On many issues need to be a discussion leading to an accurate summary, in a position to put forward proposals. The PD will be a party of secularism ages in a position to define a pattern of values. Let me give an example the other day Buttiglione during the vote on the moratorium on abortion as a means of population control, voted a motion of the device made by me that it recognized the "freedom of choice for women, protection of health and maternity , the road to a balanced population policy and respects the dignity of persons. " I'm sorry that that motion is not passed but I find it important to the choice of Buttiglione and I think this is an example of how to build the plot of values \u200b\u200bwhich must be done in the Democratic Party spoke to her before.
do not agree with secularism rather defeatist hidden behind freedom of conscience, because it means giving up the role of politics which is that of synthesis. "
After 15 years of Berlusconi, who sees the country?
I see a country which has won all along the line on ethical relativism. Indeed, the Berlusconi was the highest of ethical relativism in all fields and the case that Naomi and Patrick D'Addario are nothing more than the epiphenomena. In Italy he won in recent years, under the pressure of Berlusconi, a culture of breaking the rules, individualism, hedonism, consumerism too. Again, Noemi and D'Addario are nothing but the absolute number of examples of the trivialization of sexual freedom which then brings with it a conception of the use of the female body, very degrading. Like this story is degrading in the conception of the relationship between man and woman. All this is inside a trivial and superficial view of life. Should be put in place an alternative cultural seriously able to challenge this world view.
