invents the party ethics on a personal

The Democrats accuse Berlusconi of not respecting the rules, but in Apulia Emiliano candidates are ready to change the regional law. Moreover, the statute has always been twisted to maintain privileges and the primaries are made only if agreed

Rome "That choice is morally good, it says that the reasoning and the desire to pursue what must be the same." When Aristotle enunciated this concept certainly did not think Veltroni, Franceschini, D'Alema and Bersani would have overturned the laws of morality in the use and consumption of survival of the Democratic Party.
Yet if there is a constant that unites the three broad leadership of the Nazarene can not help but find in the total difference between universal principles and behavior. Yes, the party that day accused Silvio Berlusconi little or no respect for the Constitution, the party accused the prime minister to be the head of a "barracks" is the party that does not respect its own statutes.
The fratricidal war between the mayor and the sheriff Michi Emiliano outgoing governor of Puglia Nichi Vendola is just the tip of the iceberg. The ballet going on since last summer between the former rifondarolo former magistrate is a symptom of a whole management personalistic politics. Yet Article 20 of the Statute is clear: if the Democratic Party is in coalition (and in Puglia is), become the primary coalition and voters choose the candidate and supporters. Whatever you think Massimo D'Alema, according to which citizens decide if and only if "the political share."
In Bari, then, have invented even regional laws ad personam. Council will arrive on January 19 in the Emilianum, a standard that allows mayors to run for governor. In this way, Michi, although subject to the "yoke" of the primaries, will not resign. If elected, he may entrust the powers of the deputy mayor or a third party "drone" still came from Bari, in practice merging two posts in one person. If trombatura, remain blissfully in his place. So much for democracy.
No surprise. These things happen when the primaries became a plebiscite and not a tool of choice. Are served when they were redundant, ie when needed to crown Prodi and Veltroni. In other cases they were a political disaster. In 2004, the outsider in Puglia Vendola torpedoed the candidate's Office Boccia, in Florence last year, the scout Matteo Renzi against the top men of D'Alema and Veltroni. Unedifying episodes have occurred in other areas. Lazio in darkness, in opposition to the name Polverini, in Calabria primary coalition, but only to hide the four main candidates are bersaniana area.
So why the democrat intellect and sensitivity they do not say the same thing? Because the various claimants to the "throne" were driven out of hand? Few remember it exclusion from one moment to the spurious "democratic" as the primary Antonio Di Pietro and Marco Pannella Beppe Grillo in 2007 and this year. "Provocation!" Fassino said Rutelli. But in a democracy are not all alike, card or not?
And what of the "great refusal" of Bersani, who was forced to step aside to let the scene first and then Veltroni Franceschini designated Secretary after the resignation of Uolter so that he roared out the pacatissimo Arturo Parisi scandal? The two steps back to explain Bersani, in fact, today's impasse in finding candidates to be submitted to the Regional. The Democratic Party has in effect sacrificed the truth in respect of all'autoriproduzione power, indeed the micropotere minileader of his hundred, his thousands of "caciques" disobedient.

And it always returns to the statute that if you look at the composition of the parliamentary groups. Article 22 stipulates that it is not reapply for those who have already completed three terms: without the exceptions of 2008, many deputies and senators, Bersani, D'Alema and Fassino included, would have to give up the seat. The malicious whisper of Deputies that the losses of this term may be attributed to the desire to escape the dark of the three terms in the event of early termination.
"The real ethical-political dimension through our personal relationship with the truth," wrote Michel Foucault, philosopher is not alien to piddini. But if ethics becomes a rubber band that stretches out es'accorcia at will, the words are worth nothing.
