Fausto Bertinotti, former Speaker of the House and the historic leader of the radical left to enter the Italian Red 11.20 in preparing for an interview with Mario Adinolfi TV during the broadcast "pandemonium." Browse the papers to the office before embarking on the top floor where it will place a full discussion that started from the open reflection from the ceremonies for the 20 years since the fall of the wall which took place yesterday, has led to rapid analysis of struggles and defeats, more or less, from the European Left. Starting with the basic question whether it was better when it was worse, referring to the peoples of Eastern Europe but also of course for people who have been a version of communism, it is called to account, the former leader of the Communist Refoundation just wanted to answer with another question: "But who is better off today? I remember a discussion recently made by Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm which in a seminar organized by the Gorbachev Foundation has indicated a key interpretation for our time, "20 years ago we said that that world was over, today we say that our world is going through a serious crisis." But apart from the more general reflection on the fact itself and the balance sheet of our times that can be done along the way the debate has moved on the policy that was primarily affected by that event, namely the Left. "It was thought that the Berlin Wall would invest primarily the Communists but he made a mistake of underestimating the long-term effects that this event has generated," said Bertinotti, without wanting to have another show no regret authoritarian systems behind the Iron Curtain: "From our point of view, namely that the Western European, no one would have to change, and now those people are certainly better, but using only this paradigm does not understand the phenomenon that has gone through Berlin, and that that of nostalgia. "" A phenomenon that basically wants to terminate mainly the lack of a city more reassuring and deeper relationships. So the nostalgia for the long chat, for social and for the time spent together. " And it is this part that would Bertinotti, "pulling from the wreckage" in the future. "But - he stressed - I would always see the two films together symbolize the two sides of the coin: "Goodbye Lenin" as for the nostalgia and "The Lives of Others" with regard to the pervasive and hard reality of the totalitarian regimes of real socialism. " In short, probably - has found the former leader of the PRC - the nostalgia there would have been in Germany if globalization did not have so devastated relationships. "Here, however, that by reflecting on what happened in the past has come to what happens today and on why the Left live with the crisis that they live. Certainly got to do all right at the end of the wall and the inability of a serious and thorough reflection on the broader policy implications General has determined that this collapse. It is here that Bertinotti has presented his version stating 3 reasons: "The first is that since the fall of the wall was thought that defeat would fall primarily on the communist parties. Rather than 20 years later we must recognize that they have borne the brunt of the Socialists, Social Democrats and Labour in Europe ". "Because in other parts of the world the left is not so bad - said Bertinotti - I think Latin America, or the health reform desired by Obama very close to that part of the watchwords of what was left European Union ".
"the other reason is in recent history, that is, before the communists, socialists and social democrats in Europe have created the largest social compromise seen in the world. But then - has marked Bertinotti -, that model has been defeated. The final reason is the failure of the center-left governments in the face of globalization and lack of trust in his own electorate of reference they have generated. "And on the Italian left said:" The exit from the experience of the twentieth century has resulted essentially a proposal to modernize the country and has been completely abandoned the frontiers of transformation and change. The European left or become again a subject of the transformation or can not do it. "
The reflection on the history of the Italian left Bertinotti proposed is as follows: "if we start by reflecting on the center-dantan namely that of 1961-63, before Fanfani Moro and then, as we groped left a balance of history ' center-left alliance. This means addressing economic, social and political. I think that was basically an alliance such as to promote the processing but impair their ability to promote change. "
