Resoconto della prima Assemblea Provinciale di Sinistra e Libertà

Domenica 13 dicembre 2009, presso i locali della "Cascina Marchesa" Turin, was held the first provincial assembly of the Left and Freedom.

Main theme of the assembly was the election of delegates to the National Assembly on 19 and 20 December. Ben

254 members attended and voted on a running total of 793 members (the membership is still open and it is expected to far exceed the threshold of 1000 members): an important contribution rate, which shows the great desire to be and accounts by the people of the left, not at all resigned to the current Italian political and economic plight.

What follows is a brief summary of all actions and conclusions based on my uncensored personal notes: I ask therefore apologize for any misunderstanding of another's thought, omissions and errors.

interventions - part

The opening work was the companion Monica Cerutti, a member of the provincial coordination of SEL. In his speech, much applauded, the Turin City Council, highlighted the difficulty of the Left to be recognized by those who should be its main constituents, ie the most vulnerable social groups in our country, and the need to be able to combine in the new political party, Labour and Environment, Rights and Ethics.

Then the emphasis was Bankruptcy ideological expression of the two main strands of twentieth-century labor movement: Communism and Social Democracy, noted that it is now inevitable to find the right synthesis between individual freedom and social justice.

The last step of the speech was devoted to the issue of alliances, not to do "at all costs" and the mode of election of delegates to the National Assembly this weekend, hoping to overcome the logic of blocked lists .

Caesar White, on behalf of the club SEL Basso Canavese said that they found disappointing is the system of block lists that their methods of composition, calling for the creation, at once, the new party, eliminating the word "ecology" in the description.

The representative of the Turin club San Salvario urged to accelerate the timetable for establishing the new political entity and suggested that it begin to question how we are seen as "other", that is all that world of little people or not at all concerned with politics, but with whom we have to do if we want to ensure that our project will grow and put his legs.

The fourth intervention program was to Santhi Iorio, coordinator of the club SEL Alto Canavese, one of the largest with over 80 members, who stressed the need for ciascuno dei presenti, di uscire dalle stanze dei "vecchi partiti", di superare le differenze ideologiche ed abbattere le barriere tra città limitrofe.

Successivamente ha preso la parola la compagna Monica Rossi , che nel suo discorso ( di gran lunga il più apprezzato ed applaudito dell'intera mattinata) si è scagliata contro le piccole burocrazie politiche le quali, in nome della difesa di cordate di potere praticamente inesistenti, frenano il progetto di SeL, innescando logiche individualistiche e di cooptazione. Sempre secondo la compagna Rossi, le suddette burocrazie sono le responsabili del meccanismo delle liste bloccate redatte con il manuale Cencelli e degli attuali coordinamenti provinciali, che si are essentially "self-appointed". The last step of this acclaimed work was dedicated to the unclear role played by some "independent little independent" within our political organization.

De Leo, the club Torino - St. Paul, claiming "membership conditional" and his circle of its membership to SEL, stating that it had an interest in being part of the electoral committees and want to first check goodness of the project. The independent

Vanda Bonardo , regional president of Legambiente , stressed the ineludibiltà and the crucial importance of environmental issues and how the contrast environment \\ work, in his opinion, is actually wanted by the capitalists.

He criticized the mechanism of blocked lists and parrocchiette even though she was the recipient in person.

Kobold , esponenente of Verdi's Valchiusella , recalled his past as a militant "atypical" in the old PCI , and hoped that SEL may be a political education in which differences are seen as an asset, not with suspicion.

the club, was invited to work well for the future, noting the 46 members of his circle and saying that many "are at the door, waiting to join a real party.

Simonetti said with enthusiasm that "we are not a cartel election" and urged his companions to be everywhere the institutional left-wing group Freedom and without delay.

Sergio Vallero , independent and former president of the Provincial Council during the first arrival Saitta, noted the absence, perhaps ultimately, the social component, and about the blocked lists argued that, unfortunately, "this is the soup "and then, at least this time, we must accept it.

Mastroleo , coordinator of the club SEL Chivasso , stressed that without the work of existing coordination, even though "self-appointed", the provincial assembly would not have even been able to play, has claimed a role for SEL alternative to the dominant political force.

Il compagno Damino , del circolo di Carmagnola , ha chiesto che nel futuro partito siano le persone ad essere messe in centro, anzichè le procedure e le burocrazie.

Il consigliere provinciale Ferrentino ha segnalato la sua personale difficoltà a trovare adesioni al movimento nella Val di Susa, almeno fino a quando il progetto politico non sarà compiutamente definito e strutturato.

Luca Robotti, regional councilor and member of the National Coordination, stressed the centrality of labor between the themes of the new political entity, and the need to outline an alternative to today's capitalism, unable to govern the mechanism issue of "this globalization," imposed on the peoples of the world by large corporations and big economies in the world. During the latter address some of these have individually chosen to leave the room simultaneously, causing no small surprise and discontent among those who remained until the end of the work.
