E 'in the latter days of July that the center will have to decide what to wear in the fall. Because next week we will define the terms of the political game designed to re-open in September already. On the one hand with the conclusion of the collection of signatures for the referendum election, the other with the formalization of the candidacy of Henry Read in the leadership of the Democratic Party. two events are separate only in appearance, because their plot will push the majority to establish once and for all the direction to take to get out of the shallows where it is. An opportunity will be clear from the first choice of beds, which will help make the primaries for the leadership of the transparent Pd contention between different policy options in the entire country - not just the center-left - shows that they need. Even now, what should have been a sad path coronation plebiscite became richer and more exciting. The candidacy of Rosy Bindi, in addition to the power of popular social witness of which he is, attracts acclaim for his outspoken defense of the experience of government embodied by Romano Prodi: "The origins of prodismo - come ha scritto Federico Geremicca sulla Stampa – ovvero l’ulivismo della prima ora col suo arredo politico ideale». Quanto sia ancora attraente per il più ampio elettorato italiano questa prospettiva è difficile dirlo, o forse è fin troppo facile per essere qui ricordato. Ma è anche questo tocco di ardita incoscienza che rende ammirevole la scelta della Bindi.
Con la discesa in campo di Letta il menu è destinato a farsi ancora più ricco. Perché solo allora si renderà chiara un’offerta politica esplicitamente diversa da quella rappresentata fino a oggi dal centrosinistra prodiano. Un’offerta capace di svincolarsi dall’abbraccio con la sinistra radicale sulla base di un’esplicita accountability reform. This was explained better than others Umberto Ranieri, a member of his party Ds disappointed by the inability to express in a bid to sign Bersani reform. The main potential Letta - Ranieri told the Corriere della Sera - is in "putting on the carpet programmatic points explicit and concrete reform, risking unpopularity, by coming to terms with the taboos that still persist to some conservatives left."
On the other hand, is the political biography can be read in bed. Young without being youthful, which is good for what it aims to be a new party that will adopt di una classe dirigente anch’essa finalmente nuova. Ma soprattutto esponente della migliore tradizione democristiana, che con Beniamino Andreatta ha saputo incrociare il riformismo popolare con quello di segno Pci e Psi senza mai smarrire l’aggancio all’orizzonte politico e ideale dell’Occidente. Se vogliamo, la candidatura di Letta renderà concreta la suggestione di un «centrosinistra di nuovo conio» che il manifesto di Rutelli si è limitato a indicare senza poi tradurla in una piattaforma alternativa a quella di Veltroni.
Già, Veltroni. Perché tra il ritorno al «prodismo delle origini» di Bindi e l’esplicita opzione riformista di Letta rimane l’autostrada centrista percorsa da Walter Veltroni. Which these days is organizing its troops, directed by Goffredo Bettini, a second monumental scheme that is corporate rather than political. Prepare a "list of young people," a "list of Mayors," a "list of intellectuals", who knows that in a little does not give representation veltroniana also "the tourism industry" and "manual workers". Someone has already called 'Polish lists, "recalling the role played by the" party of the peasants' in the season a distant spice of real socialism.
Veltroni's real strength, however, is its ability not to choose between the two horns of a dilemma, between prodismo old way and a center-new-fangled. But it is here that the referendum election may be made in resolving the knot in his stead. Because the goal of 500,000 signatures to force the political forces, since the beginning of September to find a common solution to avoid a referendum by the unpredictable effects. The formula proposed by Piero Fassino, the convergence with the Pole on the German model, would deprive the small parties of that power of blackmail that has helped to prevent the center to break the tie with PRC. And it is the intersection between this perspective and the political pressure exerted by the candidacies of Letta and perhaps force Bindi Veltroni's candidacy to become less solemn and most recognizable for the choices they will make.
