A-Infos (en) Italy, UCADI, #198 - AN INEVITABLE CONGRESS (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

While the international political situation monopolizes public attention 
due to the growing dangers of a nuclear war, the country's internal 
politics languishes after the referendum shock whose echoes, albeit 
faint, have already died down. Now the attention of the political forces 
seems to be entirely focused on preparing for the next electoral 
deadlines constituted by the regional elections, while the debate on the 
third mandate of the regional presidents rears its head again, 
disrupting the game, which would reopen many games and would 
significantly influence the choices of the candidates at least in 
Veneto, Campania and Puglia.
Everything seems to suggest that the centre-left parties will present 
unitary candidacies in all the Regions with the support of the centrist 
bushes, which should leave the government of the Regions to the 
centre-left, if we exclude Veneto, the only contestable region, whose 
fate depends on the presence of a re-candidacy of Zaia. This apparently 
stable situation, although not devoid of the traditional and recurring 
contrasts and controversies between PD and 5 Star for the leadership of 
the alliance, cannot ignore in the PD camp the calling and holding of a 
Congress that cannot be a ritual deadline, since Schlein's leadership 
requires a verification that passes through the redefinition of the 
party's political line on many crucial issues and this also in order to 
develop a credible program that is able to allow the coalition to 
represent a real alternative government in front of the voters. To 
outline it, it is not enough to reiterate the need to solve the problem 
of waiting lists in healthcare or to further finance the increasingly 
crisis-ridden healthcare system; it is not enough to support the need to 
find resources for education and school, for professional 
requalification; it is not enough to find the resources to increase 
wages in order to allow minimally dignified living conditions; it is not 
enough to defend work and life in the workplace; It is not enough to 
defend the rights of the individual, but it is also necessary to have a 
credible position in the face of the country's international 
positioning, since the ability of the economy to function depends on 
this, as do the development prospects of Italian society, the very 
stability of the social structure called upon to face the problem of the 
demographic crisis and at the same time the deterioration of the 
traditional production model in the face of the challenges represented 
by the introduction of artificial intelligence and new systems of work 
and production organization into the world of work. The country cannot 
live by basing its economy on tourism and relying on a return of 
currency capable of supporting a society in which the social elevator 
does not exist, in a static society, which offers no prospect of future 
life, in a society increasingly poor in initiatives and innovation, in a 
society increasingly repressive and backward in customs, in social 
relations, in the distribution of wealth, increasingly unequal, called 
upon to manage a segment of structural poor equal to 40% of the 
population, while 5% of it continues to accumulate wealth and 
well-being, power and domination, the name of an increasingly privileged 
class position, in a situation aggravated by the growing winds of war 
and the increasingly real prospect of a call to arms of the young 
generations, increasingly meager and small in numbers and in the will to 
go down on the battlefield.
In particular, this last problem imposes itself as decisive in the face 
of the launch of rearmament policies and the prospect of reintroducing 
compulsory military service, a precursor to the possibilities of being 
employed in a war that would be devastating.

The international question

The problem of the profound revision of international politics is at 
this point crucial and strategic to define for the Democratic Party as 
for all reformist parties their future, in the face of the alternative 
of power management represented by a right that has proven to be able to 
better tune into the desires of the populations and more capable of 
gathering the appeal for peace that comes above all from the European 
peoples. The position on rearmament and war is a watershed in the 
ability of reformist parties to recover a positive relationship and 
effective representation of their electorate, because siding with war is 
seen as a profound betrayal of the fundamental interests of the less 
well-off classes, called to pay the price of the war effort in person 
both through the material damage suffered, but even more through direct 
commitment to war action that leads to death and the loss of any 
prospect of a dignified life. In light of these considerations, it 
becomes a priority that a party of the left, even if reformist, if it 
wants to be such and represent at least in part the interests of the 
class, must free itself of those political subjects that at different 
levels crowd political representation in Parliament as in community 
bodies, declaring the incompatibility of these subjects with the 
representation of their interests. This means that we need to 
politically execute the various, many Picierno, Bonaccini, Gentiloni, 
Gori, Draghi, Letta, Monti, just to name a few, with the discrimination 
of their warmongering choices, understanding that the choice of peace 
and coexistence between peoples is preparatory to the acceptance of the 
political candidacy of anyone who wants to take care of protecting 
public interests. The necessary cleansing begins by getting rid of the 
scum that pollutes the body of the party, the institutions, politics, so 
as to be able to rediscover and defend the genuine interests of the 
population from those who want to push humanity towards a future of war, 
destruction, death.
