Nineteen years later, one of Forza Italia’s legendary teachers has taken up the grinding ideas again, but this time for Salvini, who seems to take them into account.
How did you get there, from Popper to Papeete? Galeotta was Francesca Verdini. I’ve known her since she was a blond wren. So in December last year I organized a conference in Rome on Europe and asked Father Denis to invite Salvini. It came, after we talked for a long time in private, we created an excellent relationship. A month ago I voted for Ceccardi in Tuscany.
As a philosopher, Pera is willing to ignore the authorship of the formula of the liberal revolution: very ambiguous, a little Leninist, so ambiguous was Gobetti’s thought.. My formula:mass liberal party. Like twenty years ago. Back then we had aagenda for the government of Italy. I told Salvini that that inheritance must be returned to her, since things in Italy are always as they were then.
That renewal agenda had four crucial points: the first was and still is change the constitution. Parliament today in lamentable conditions, votes only in favor of trust and enacts laws. We have a provisional government with an unlimited mandate. Presidentialism, chancellery or prime minister, there is a way to go. Justice For Pera it is even worse than twenty years ago: the Palamara case certifies that the currents are a poison, beyond “cultural pluralism”, and the judiciary governed by the CSM as the school governed by the unions. Then there is the economy. And here the liberal Pera asks for less aid, less subsidies and bonuses, therefore less taxes and more freedom but also more responsibility for the company.
Finally Europe. Salvini sore spot. Look, twenty years ago the teachers, me, Martino, Urbani, we were Eurosceptics, an ante litteram version of sovereignty, we feared a new German Reich. Until the entry into the euro. Then Berlusconi had the intuition to join Merkel’s People’s Party. He was correct. You cannot rule Italy if you are not part of the ruling forces in Europe. And here Salvini -object- ends up behind the blackboard. The League cannot stay with Le Pen. Where it should go and how they will decide it: The PPE would be a shortcut, but Salvini cannot be asked for a U-turn in a few months. I suggested that he redefine sovereignty: no “autarky” or worse yet “nationalism”It must not be based on the refusal to cede sovereignty to Europe (even the Constitution provides for it); but it must agree to sell it only to democratic institutions and, therefore, today’s Europe must change. I ask him what we do with Borghi and Bagnai: they are nice. But I am out of reality. It cannot stay out of Europe and it cannot stay out of the euro, an unrealistic position. And what interests me instead is that the center-right is endowed with a government agenda.
Salvini does not seem very well prepared in the other points of the agenda either. The nationalist turn has turned the League into the party of public spending and fee 100. It is clear that there must be consequences with a liberal election, one of which is 100. I try to draw a liberal framework and some things do not fit into it.
But Salvini what student? Pera says that he knows how to listen, intelligent, aware of the problem facing the center right. I may be fooling myself, but he strikes me as a leader you can bet on to build a new culture of government. I repeat a joke that circulates: From Pern to Pear. Y he responds with a joke: Now with Bergoglio it is more difficult to leave Pern. We missed a historic opportunity with Benedict XVI, a true lay Pope, his teaching helped us defend Western civilization. Francesco, with all due respect, use passwords from Argentine justice. The relationship with the Church became more difficult, hence the conflict with Salvini. Christians closest to liberal thinking are becoming rigid. I would not be surprised if one day a schism came to Europe.
from his previous world, Go ItalyIs there nothing else that could be useful? Little, but there. In 2016 with Urbani we formed a group to support Renz’s constitutional reform25 blue parliamentarians arrived who, almost desperate, pointed to Renzi to get us out of the swamp. Unfortunately Berlusconi took another path. was the last blow. L was ready the party of the nation, a great moderate downtown party.
The question remains whether liberalism generates votes. Unfortunately, Italy – says Pera – has a historical heritage whereby between assistance / security and freedom it always tends to choose the first option. Liberalism is about taking risks, and nobody wants to take them out, not even the businessmen. But there is still a deep unmet demand for renewal. We can interpret it. I think Confindustria di Bonomi is an important innovation.Salvini should become his political interlocutor.
