In view of the upcoming regional elections, being really embarrassed, for the first time in my life, on the vote to give, I took a book I had read some years ago: "An Essay on lucidity" by José Saramago.
A beautiful novel, of course, very exciting, but it can also provide an attractive way out for those who, like me, right now, no longer able to give any credence to these politicians, or at least those that are proposed in Campania.
There is no real alternative, no longer able to trust anyone.
true policy seems to be already dead.
" A country without a name. A city without a name. Of the regular elections. But there is something wrong in the right direction. People do not go to sea, not desert the seats. Vote, but vote white card. A revolutionary gesture, an anarchist conspiracy, a provocation of extremist groups? .
None of this, awareness, clarity of citizens, forced politicians from all sides to abandon the field.
This could be the way to make it clear to our politicians irrimediabimente we are disillusioned about their ability and authority.
"... the intentions of those who had voted blank ballot were not overthrow the system and take power, which, moreover, they will not know what to do, that if they voted as they voted was because they were disappointed and did not find any other way to understand once and for all the extent to which came the disappointment ... ".
The high abstention in the last administration in France (nearly 54% of voters did not go to the polls), and one that will probably in Italy on March 28 and 29 have the same motivation, I think. He left me appalled
rileggerre, today, certain "coicidenze" between the book and our relevance.
" failing the citizens of this country require the healthy habit of regular observance of the rights that the Constitution gave them, it was logical, indeed, it was natural that they come to realize that it had suspended them to him."
What to do?
"Vote white card is a manifestation of blindness ... or film, said the Minister of Justice ... vote white board could be considered as a manifestation of lucidity on the part of those who did .
Perhaps, as in Saramago's novel, it is necessary that the people rebel against this situation and that, with a sensational event, but peaceful, our indignation, is made dramatically clear that we perceive the distance between our needs and the language of politics.
POSTSCRIPT:
In the end, once again, I went to vote, but my vote was useless (I gave two choices to "grillini" which did not reach a quorum in Campania).
would have been better to strengthen the ranks of "abstainers," ever so many!
Almost as in France, the Italians have given a strong signal, especially, I think, the PD and the other parties of the center-left (useless to pursue the 3% Casini's UDC, when there is a reservoir of votes almost 40% regain).
