In a recent interview with Cardinal Camillo Ruini, former head of the Italian bishops, said the country needs stable government and a government capable of making reforms (Corser, 24 December). Last but not least!
Reforms in Italy does not seem to know say the least. Be reformed and how to have safe passage to cross enemy lines. Alas not so! Make the figure of the political minority.
In reality there is nothing more difficult in Italy to make the reforms. Add: no more false false Italy of those who say they want reform. That there is an urgent need not be discussed, but the Italians really want, I have serious doubts. Generalizations aside! Let's see, in fact, that just puts a government hand all hell breaks loose. We saw recently with the university reform, that reform famigeratamente Gelmini, held by eminent political commentators and academics, if not the 'optimum least a good reform (Angelo Panebianco, Ernesto Galli Della Loggia, Francesco Giacovazzo, Giovanni Sartori, Luca Ricolfi). Never, in Italy, and many many appointment numina in favor of a law. Yet, while the Left MPs in the classroom went crazy in obstructive conduct to ensure that the reform passed, the streets went crazy young people, students and non students, devastating violence, for the same purpose. The government had to proceed coute que coute .
But how? No one says yes one day and one that also need reform? There has always said that the university as it spends too much and produces little and evil? That the barons do what they want, they spend public money and spreading and promoting teachers within the family and dell'amicato? So why now that he groped wants to change things, to a university that spends less and produce more, well, a university not in the hands of the barons, it was contrary to trigger iradidio? Do not like to deal with the management of funds is a board of directors rather than the Senate, which restrict the powers of cultural and scientific? Not like the mobility of Rectors, to prevent scaling of power? Not like the meritocracy of students, teachers, researchers and graduate students? But how, and what we talked about all these years? The answer is
nell'immarcescibile Italian, which has always been resistant to any change. Suffice it to say that two of italianity singers of recent times, fiercely hostile to Berlusconi and center-right, I speak of the writer Andrea Camilleri and director, recently deceased, Mario Monicelli, have done nothing in their old books and films that enhance their cialtroneria the Italians. Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano makes his living in an abusive home, practically on the beach; Monicelli you into raptures with his unhinged characters, so unmistakably Italian, the usual unknown , of \u200b\u200b'armed brancaleone of my friends . The Italians are exactly those proposed by many film-comedy writers and directors.
And then, what reforms you want to talk? Fairness and legality of which one wants to talk? Of that private morality and ethics calendar? Let's not for fools. This country is not Giving up the interpreter, who had a tragic sense of life, but Machiavelli, the greatest writer of political and together the greatest writer of comedies of his time. It would be a mistake to read the first Mandragola to better understand the Prince .
Why Italians lie when they say they want reform? But meanwhile it is vice Italic always criticize and complain, and since one can not criticize the existing one, here is everyone wants something different, ergo reforms. Meanwhile, you make it or not into account the benefits of the existing, well we wallow in it, and they are so good that when will the threat of a change arise.
In truth everyone in Italy needs preferentially, the shortcut of the arrangement. Italians do not want the reforms first, because they would not complain of that or fuck that (what would the Crozza, the Guzzanti, the Dandini, the Benigni and the Grillo Travaglio?), Secondly, because there would be more for them the many ways to solve their problems large and small, and thirdly, because they would no longer hope to achieve what the law and fairness can never have. The real miracle of the Italians is the possibility of obtaining the unobtainable. Woe to deprive them of such a hope. Once
school recommended me to a gentleman's son, who had great difficulty to follow up and study for old gaps and delays and needed support to get out of school. When I told him, that gentleman asked me to help this, because if I wanted I could do it, despite the difficulties. I tried to convince him that it was not possible and asked if one by itself is not able to go forward, we need to do? I asked why he responded that he understood and I was helped in this respect. But the one with the greatest naturalness of this world, I said, it is recommended, no? I would have fallen if I had wings.
Politicians, especially those who have made the reform their flag, they know perfectly well that this is so. And that's why true reform will not do anything, it would be for their failure and end. But at the same time, they are afraid that others do and that eventually, people will seize the positive. The reforms that end up in the course of debate and political opposition. See so many leaders of the left climb the buildings to reach the roof and put a protest with the youth on the one hand has made me laugh, on the other, raised hopes that someone will throw himself under. After all, there would be a great loss.
