February 8, 2008, Rome

Dear President Prodi,
I'm sorry to disturb you, but I can not live without: I ask you a question regarding a major moral issue which I should be obliged to respond. Are days with great malaise and melancholy, I find myself thinking alone on the sequence of events, trying to reconstruct how we have come to this catastrophic situation. To understand something we have to start from the beginning of history, review the salient steps of the XV legislature.

I remember we went to the polls in those who feel the duty to avert the risk of a new Berlusconi government, and with him all his shameful laws and the rosary of disasters that has imposed its own benefit. Taking honest loyal and capable, voters were confident in achieving at least a good part of the 280 pages of the Union's program, already on page 18 where we talk about conflict of interests ¹.

This was not a vague promise but a sacred commitment that it was meeting with his constituents. Strongly reaffirmed a commitment immediately after the election victory, and first to wear the Chairman of the Council of Ministers. It is past time, almost two years, but only a part of this program saw the light. Moreover, the most pressing problems has not even started a debate, rather they are recognized as one does with the annoying questions. Why? From what has caused this 'provision' of the many problems? I refuse absolutely to be regarded as juggler from Porta a Porta, which contracts with the Italians and then laughs at their expense. I fear rather that you have not been able to meet its program because of someone Coalition of the Left, or rather the left-center was not right. Your wrong

President, allow me the courage and I'm sorry, that was not to report immediately, publicly, the difficulties they came to visit, at the cost of going on television and, unified networks, reveal the situation with a speech like this: "I appeal to you, I have elected democratic citizens are certain that your President would keep the promises made during the election campaign. Promises that was my highest intention to implement, but unfortunately I was prevented. I'm at the Palazzo Chigi, yes, but in a good condition that could be called a 'limited freedom'. My keepers are those who do not like change substantial. They yearn for armchairs rather, privileges and business. Here are the names ... "and had to make a real names, Mr President! I think, Mr. President, more than once has really thought to give breath to this complaint, but the sense of responsibility and the fear of a negative future the country have prevented him.

But at this point, you can not if they go with an approval rating that does not deserve, as does not deserve that confidence and prove to your sense of humor person. How many times was insulted, despised and deeply offended?

No, he can not go this way, between the coarse jokes of many peasants who, alas, will be with us in future years. I respect too much to accept.

Dear President, you have a duty, an obligation to regain credibility and consideration it deserves. There is only one way to go, though tiring. But due to the country: outside the names of those who made it impossible to accomplish their goals and notched especially subtle blackmail with which he was induced to sink the essential parts of the program. E 'is essential that your voters are aware of any pressure that has had to adapt and give up. We need to know what are the ladies that, both in Parliament and the Government have done physically fundamental opposition to the implementation of measures for change in our country.

is a right belongs to us. And you, Professor Prodi, the EC has this act. Not only to honor our loyalty but also His. His silence is surely a gesture of fair play towards his opponents, but that will leave us in their hands! About The

that imposed disproportionate number of under-secretaries, ministers without portfolio and with your portfolio?
who has opposed lowering the costs of politics? About
blocked, in fact, the most severe application of the reform on safety at work?
Who are the people that have thwarted the realization of what?
who wanted the shame of the pardon three years?
Who pulled the jacket to bring groped out a gag-law on wiretapping?
who wanted the Inspector De Gennaro in Naples, the super-cop of any good memory for the management of waste?
Who has put across to stop the taxation of financial income?
who prevented a serious debate on foreign missions? And based on Vicenza?
who made them swallow the acceptance of that commitment halter?
All His only choices?
But who can believe?!
As Socrates said: "Only by reversing the tunica lisa you can clearly read the story of the wearer."

So it would be really helpful if you explain publicly to all Italian citizens the real reasons which led first to daily wear and then to the fall of the government headed by you. It can not silence the real reasons of the crisis, otherwise it would allow those who have deliberately undermined his government, can quite happily continue to break down any serious attempt to change the situation of severe degradation, political, economic and social, in our country.

And I mean not only well-organized opposition to liability (this is the job of the conservative pole) but rather the betrayal implemented by elements of the government in cahoots with ambiguous wheeler. If you do not accept, once and for all, the political courage to make things clear, we will as always to spin dell'ignavia in the circle, from which it never will quit. The signs of this turbulent climate, which eventually led us to the debacle, there had appeared obvious from the beginning of this term: the first day in the Senate, when we had to elect the President.

Please note the three blank votes go? Three votes! Three times your senators, the wrong name or last name: Franco Marini (the chosen) with Ignazio Marino with the addition of blank ballots. In short, the numbers were not there. The meeting ended late at night with nothing. When news senator, asked: "What's going on? How can these things are wrong? It is not difficult", I will say, "Someone of our coalition sends messages: requests the President of the Council. They want something, they're knocking and waiting for response as three seven! Until they have obtained, no president. "" I understand! "I exclaimed. It 's a game to blackmail! My God, where have happened?! E' this policy?"

If it gives me so much I wondered how many phone calls in code has been received, President, and pressures, and messages: "I give, you give me, we support you, you favor us. How many secretaries are willing to settle? Many ministries and what favors? ". In short, the usual dance farce with doors, gates and portals that open and close in time and inconvenience. Temo that everything that has happened before my astonished eyes of a neophyte in these 23 months has been repeated catchphrase: "O my favor or I will not and you stumble and go down flat on the ground.
The match ended in agreement.
And what do we do? We go to sad not to have reacted with alacrity all'andazzo of gain time in hopes of arranging every situation? I do not think you can reinstall from buried. I know it's hard, but this is the time not to accept passively, without a moment of pride, of being thrown into the landfill of political and especially now Refuses to denounce the responsibilities of the coalition has rowed against dragging the country to ruin this, and avoid blame bad luck that always laughs in the bottom of the story.

Now it's "only" President. And 'your time. She must finally speak. Should give a decisive answer to the question that many say the "Why did not respond to blackmail charges now? Why has not engaged with all its forces and conflict of interest laws and shame?".

look forward to time a response.
Yours sincerely, Franca Rame

In a face that looks like ... I travel in the Constitution

Friday February 1, Rai Due stage forwarded In a face that resembles ... travel in the Constitution. Finally, a true glimpse of TV and high-commitment: a performance that goes beyond the theater, a hypertext that demonstrated his versatility even under a system of great performers: Monica Guerritore, Umberto Orsini, Massimo Popolizio, and before that Cortellesi Paola and Luca Zingaretti.
Discussing about the Constitution means taking a trip to the sources of liberalism and democracy, knowing that the journey is a fundamental experience of modern politics: just think of the journey in Tocqueville's American institutions or to the election of De Sanctis or trip motorcycle of the young Ernesto Guevara, to say nothing of the journey election Günther Grass, the result of Willy Brandt in Germany and the Cold War Ostpolitik. And also Carlo Levi, with his going to town and campaigns, through the "thousand homelands" of the peninsula, to find "in the appearance of Italy, not only the infinite reality special, the countless individual lives and the fabric of existence, but all the memory in a face that resembles Carry
...". So the discourse on the Constitution of Calamandrei, which have been reported in the show a lot of songs. I thank the site for sources of 'cultural association The third island, which has contributed to the show.
You can watch the video of the show on the site of Rai.

Calamandrei Piero (1889-1956), student speech in Milan (1955)

The Constitution is not a machine that once set in motion goes without saying. The Constitution is a piece of paper, dropped it and does not move, why move must lose every day in the fuel must be put in the commitment, spirit, the will to keep these promises, his responsibility. That is one of the offenses that are made to the Constitution is indifferent to politics. It's a little 'a disease of young indifference. "Politics is a bad thing. What I care policy? ". When I listen to this speech, I am always reminded of that old little story that someone you know: two of those emigrants, two peasants who crossed the ocean on a rickety ship. One of these farmers slept in the hold and the other was on the bridge and noticed that there was a large storm with high waves, the ship rocked. So this farmer ipaurito application to a sailor: "But we are in danger?" And that says: "If this continues the sea in half an hour the ship sank." Then he runs into the hold to Sveg mate. He says, "Beppe, Beppe, Beppe, if it continues this sea the ship sinks. " What he says: "What do I care? Unn'è mica mine. " This indifference to politics.

is so beautiful, so comfortable! is not it? is so comfortable! The freedom is there, you live in climate of freedom. There's other things to do that interested in politics! Eh, I also know there are ... The world is so beautiful right? There are many beautiful things to see and enjoy, as well as deal with the politics! And politics is not a pleasant thing. But freedom is like air. You realize what it's worth when it begins to fail, when you hear that sense of asphyxiation men of my generation have felt for twenty years and I hope you'll never hear of young people.

And I hope you will not find you never feel this sense of anxiety, because you hope you manage to create the conditions for this sense of anxiety do not have to prove anything, every day reminding you that freedom must be vigilant, to watch giving its contribution to political life ...

So you young people to the Constitution must give your spirit, your youth, live it, feel it as your own, put in your spirit, civic awareness, to realize (this is one of the joys of life) to realize that none of us in the world is not alone, is not just that we in addition, that we are part of a whole, a whole within the limits of Italy and the world. Now I have little else to say. In the Constitution there is in all our history, all our past, all our pains, our troubles, our joys. They're all here resulted in these articles, and to understand sepere behind these articles you hear voices far ...

And when I read in art. 2: "the performance of mandatory duties of political solidarity, economic, social," or when I read in art. 11: "Italy repudiates war as an instrument of aggression against the freedom of other peoples', the Italian homeland in the midst of other homelands ... but this is Mazzini! this is the voice of Mazzini!
Or when I read in art. 8: "All religions are equally free before the law," but this is Cavour!
Or when I read in art. 5: "The Repubbllica one and indivisible, recognizes and promotes local autonomy," but this is Cattaneo! Or when

art. I read about 52 of the armed forces, "the ordering of the armed forces on the democratic spirit of the Republic," army of people, but this is Garibaldi!
And when I read in art. 27: "It is not permitted the death penalty," but this is Beccaria! Great voices distant, large names away ...

But there are also humble names, recent entries! How much blood, how much pain to get to this constitution! Behind every article of this Constitution, or young, you have to see young people like you who fell in battle, shot, hanged, tortured, starved to death in concentration camps, died in Russia, died in Africa, died on the streets of Milan, for streets of Florence, cha gave their lives for freedom and justice could be written on this cartr. So when I told you that this is a dead paper, no, not a dead paper, is a testament is a testament of a hundred thousand deaths.

If you want to go on pilgrimage to the place where she was born our Constitution, go to the partisans in the mountains where they fell, in prisons where they were imprisoned in camps where they were hanged. Wherever an Italian died to redeem the freedom and dignity, or young people go there, thinking, why they came to our Constitution.
