I Think I Have Bone Cancer

OPEN LETTER TO FELLOW VENDOLA


Tuesday, January 26, 2010 (from the manifesto of January 27, 2010)

Nichi Dear, I take the occasion of this feast day for town ask you a question: why the positive trend that we have set in motion in Apulia can be repeated in other parts of Italy?

In your region the arrogance of the management team of the Democratic Party have made a common front. Before rejecting the proposal that you did not come with the candidate and then the common support to your candidacy in the primaries. This united front has won and your beautiful result is testimony to this.

In Puglia that has worked in fact a coalition of left-wing alternative, capable of holding a politically independent from the PD, which was successful, as we managed in 2005 to win the primaries. A coalition of left-wing alternative that has opened its own contradictions in PD has been able to act as his own subjectivity, not subordinate or maneuverability. It was made clear a battle, without subterfuge, both politically and on the content and clarity paid.


Moreover when we seen and heard in recent weeks had made precisely this point in the center. Faced with a PD that is characterized by a centrist drift, with stretches of real subordination UDC, we agreed on the need to coordinate the forces of the left in order to impact positively in the discussions in all regions. The mutual independence, we identified the need to combine efforts, to make a common struggle, to ensure that the PD could us one against the other in the redefinition of his moderate political axis.

Quite frankly, this very common battle seems to be coming to me less. While we have acted unanimously in Puglia, this does not happen in other regions of Italy.

I do not have the space to make a close examination overall so I will focus only on the case of Lombardy, it seems to me emblematic. In this region, the Left and Freedom decided to support a candidate for President Penati just as this has put a veto on the presence of the Federation of the Left in his coalition. Here we are in an incredible situation: the candidate of the Democratic Party decides to put an anti-discriminatory to be part of his coalition and features on content that is roughly the opposite of the content that you have supported in the primaries in Apulia. Left and Freedom, instead of doing battle policy and to break with Penati, decides to participate in his coalition. While in Puglia the left, together, have achieved something extraordinary, in Lombardy Left and Freedom was the instrument of the attempted destruction of the left by Penati. Dear

Nichi then ask you to knock a shot. If you can not accept the blackmail in Puglia, shall not be accepted either in Lombardy. If you work for the alternative in Puglia, must be able to do so elsewhere. The spring is not built in one region alone.
