"I am applying and will welcome the decision of my party without preconditions." E 'with these words, which were entrusted to a news agency (1), the mayor of Bari and regional president of PD, Michele Emiliano, has finally broken through the inertia about his possible candidacy for president of the Puglia region.
seems therefore confirms the hypothesis of the definitive end of the outgoing governor Nicola Vendola, whose work on the PD is the same Emily that, until recently, do not spare words of praise and appreciation.
Why then this sudden change of attitude? Only the ' 11 November 2009 " the gladiator" (this is known as Emily) had given unequivocal words: "I am ready to personally take care of the campaign Vendola (...) are unavailable to accept any office or application that includes my resignation as Mayor (2) ", also called for descent in the same field officer at the Fiera del Levante Vendola.
To understand everything you need to do some backtracking .
Relations between Vendola and some national leaders of the Democratic Party had begun to crack when the leader of the Left and Freedom had decided to stand for the European past. The faithful Dalem Latorre, first made famous by his phone calls "intercepted" by Consorte at the time of the event Unipol (3) and then the famous "pizzino" given La7 Bocchino, April 1 yields a statement that sounded like a warning: "Think of the Region Vendola (...) all with Vendola in 2010 (4).
Soon, What a coincidence, surveys on health Vendola Puglia led the junta to reset (July 2009), the changed policy framework (with the non- of a quorum by the European Left and the rise IDV) forced him to give up even the assessors considered closest to him and to open the region to the government figures considered close to 'UDC .
The new line of Pd, in fact, was that of a "strategic alliance" with the centrist Casini and understanding with the political movement I South of Poli Bortone, a former mayor Taranto: Vendola well aware that an enlargement of the alliance was a necessary requirement for his confirmation, he asked these individuals to become part of the junta, faced with a refusal.
we come to fall: the ruling Christian Democratic Union and of IDV against Vendola no signs of falling (the rest of the UDC, "the coalition but does not choose the candidates" (dixit Casini), even the outgoing president Regione Piemonte, Mercedes Bresso , is opposed by the centrists who declare their support for the Pd conditions at the scene of the Empress.
Faced with these obstacles, has repeatedly said Vendola his candidacy and his willingness to go to primary elections, after the declarations of Emily (the only alternative candidate) above, it seemed that the road to ricandidatura was now down.
But the 11/29/2009, the Regional Assembly of the Democratic Party Pugliese, Massimo D'Alema "takes the field" and asks Nichi to "step back", accusing him of not having worked for broaden the coalition "(5), shortly after the UDC openly declares his appreciation for Emily.
From that moment begins a crossfire of statements to the venom between the two former friends "Siamese cats" (Emily had in fact been a great supporter of Vendola in the primaries of 2005), to the idea of \u200b\u200ba law "ad personam" which enables Emily to apply without leaving the chair of the mayor of Bari (condition laid down by "Gladiator"), for which, however, appear not to be sufficient consensus in the regional council (6). The Democratic Party decides to refer the decision in the hands of the regional which will meet on December 28, two days before Emily takes off a lot of chestnuts on the fire by declaring its readiness to apply aa "without conditions" (see above). Vendola reiterated the proposal to go to primary elections.
Some personal reflections
Apart from the "red regions", was well known that a reconfirmation of the outgoing government was " Union" was very difficult, if not impossible.
then I wonder what purpose the Democratic Party has decided to complicate the lives of all, by making any clear decision UDC enlargement of the alliance, regardless of any discussion about the programs.
The " good policy" would have to deal first of all the programs, and then only to candidates and coalitions. As you can see from my modest article, however, is only discussed more or less broad coalitions and candidates "acceptable" or "unwelcome" UDC.
This is not going anywhere: how logical, how respect for the voters to think you can just re-elected to nominate a mayor making him resign? Or to propose a law "ad hoc" to solve the problem (as does the center!)?
Because a party that has made primary its "flag" is unavailable to them when apparently afraid of losing?
Fortunately I do not live in Puglia, but I wonder how will Puglia Friends "left" to seek the vote in regional having to explain the "noble" reasons that led to the failure to reconfirm the outgoing governor.
note, with regret, that the definition of Pd is given by Andrea Scanzi closer to the truth.
Until a few months ago were "conditioned" by 'IDV, now have to commute between IDV and UDC not to discover too, now left now in the middle.
All issues that do not exist if the Democratic Party was born of a strong political and cultural project, and not as a simple summation of parties with the sole intent of "beat Berlusconi."
We'll see if Bersani will be able to give an identity in this strange political object that is the Democratic Party: If you see a good day in the morning, the answer can only be no.
