BERLUSCONI'S `REFORM'
EUTHANASIA OF PARLIAMENT?
|
In the devastation of the 1947 Charter threatened by Berlusconi's `Reform', Ingrao points at the debasement of the function of Parliament, subjected to the undisputed dominion of the Prime Minister. The aim is not the governability, but a radical upheaval of the Italian democratic system, which had built on the central position of Parliament the entire wealth and articulation of a shared and inclusive democracy. The danger is real, but the reaction is still confused and still ambivalent.

REPUDIATE AN ILLEGAL WAR
|
The immediate withdrawal of the Italian troops is the only act of national dignity possible to draw the country out of an illegal war. The advocates of the `pre-emptive” war are dragging the world into a spiral of hate and violence. Berlusconi's servility has precipitated Italy into the Iraqi quagmire. It is amazing that Prodi's list dwells on the old story about an undefined `turning point” while Zapatero has clearly chosen the only road for the Left to take.

EUROPEAN DOSSIER /1: THE EXPANSION
|
On the first of May ten new states became part of the European Union. Is it the Rhenish model of Europe or the monetarist model of the European Bank which is `expanding”? Are the sanctioned rights of the post war democratic constitutions being generalised or is the supremacy of enterprise becoming constitutional? Is a powerful peace project facing the world scenario or a refractory satellite of the empire? However it may be, all our destinies are at stake. The dossier proposes some first answers to these crucial questions.

RATIONALITY OF THE CONFLICT
|
Does a credible reason exist why workers should renounce their wage dispute? The question does not arise in a Cobas assembly but echoes in the imposing pantheon of economic theory, which has dealt with it for many decades with changing fortune contaminated by political and class disputes. Brancaccio and Realfonzo not only take up once again the line of discussion alive in Italy for about thirty years but propose a current version which will certainly be talked about.
