Dear friends and dear friends of Mirabello, every time I got to take the word in this small town in the province of Ferrara, who is dear to me for many reasons, and every time in these years I have had ways to address the people before the right and then the center- I always felt a certain emotion. For reasons known, because here the roots of a part of my family, because here many years ago, a man certainly capable of looking forward, he pointed to his people, what was then the people of the socialist movement, the need for generation leap. And I think the presence here, along with many others, of a man like Mirko Tremaglia is the most beautiful demonstration of the ideal continuity. Mirabello as a place for me and so many emotions, emotions that over time, there were renewed. The Italian right here has experienced important moments. It was here, with Pinuccio Tatarella, anticipating what became the National Alliance. It was still here, which together with many others, predicted that further change - the so called journalists - that led to the birth of People's liberties. Whenever, for these and other reasons, I turned from this stage to the listeners, and more generally to the Italians, I felt great emotion. But believe me, the emotion of yesterday and the day before yesterday is nothing compared to the emotion I feel at this time. I believe that never ever ever in my heart there was a strong emotion like the one that I feel at this moment. An emotion that comes from the fact that this event, this festival in 2010, became, as is now known to all, a significant event for the whole of Italian politics, not only for fate of the People of Freedom, the center of the Italian right. Mirabello has become, and is, for a day the capital of Italian politics. And I think, dear Vittorio Lodi, this is the best gift you could do and become a gift for anyone who follows the events of national policies.
Sincere thanks, then, to Victor and the family, to all those who in recent days have given rise to debates, thanks to the many women and many men who have reached Mirabello, often for the first time, from all over Talia. It is the spontaneous mobilization of people, which they referred Bellotti, Raisi, Moroni, of a people who is not here because precept, a people who are here because they feel the deep desire to participate, to find a source of pride, belonging, a desire that is characterized primarily by a political commitment to certain values, ideals precise. A nation of men and women who finds herself, in some cases after many years in other cases, we find after a few weeks. So I hope that this square, which gives me strength and I thank you, in this phase of difficulty can be an opportunity for me to make a contribution to clarify what happened and what will happen. What happened in this troubled summer? I do not understand, dear friends and dear friends, if you do not back to the day when it all started. One day is not far away, calendar in hand, but that now seems buried on July 29. When the Political Bureau of the PDL, the highest body of party leaders after a meeting lasting two hours, in my absence, has decreed that my expulsion from the party, a party that I helped create, not because of what I represent as a person, but because of what constituted the great political community that was and is the Italian right. A meeting at the end of which was approved a document that you write word for word that my position and the position of the so-called Finian, was a trickle of dissent, criticism and picks, an attitude of opposition to permanent positions and often in tune with the themes of the left one - and this really is to laugh - to play an active participation in the massacre of the prosecution, and thus - this was the conclusion - Fini is absolutely incompatible with the principles of the People of Freedom. The July 29. And, then, to start to clarify, there was no escape, there has been no division, there was no attitude intended to demolish the People of Freedom. There was in fact my ouster from the party he helped create with a deeply illiberal act, an act with authoritarian, with a act that has nothing to do with that pluralism is one of the guarantees, a condition that a party is genuinely a liberal party in mass. No craziness, no division. An act I have no difficulty in saying that perhaps that was inspired by Black Book of Communism that was delivered when we gave birth to the National Alliance. An act to Stalinist-style to be shown the door without hearing. That document was a brutal suppression of internal dialogue before the dissent, was the attempt to cancel all types of diversity. And then, we reason, we should ask if the People of Freedom, the Liberal Party of mass, in what a little 'was emphatically defined "Party of love" was and is possible to criticize, to express doubts, indicate the prospects? To give some examples, there is no doubt, and who has followed politics in recent months knows, that for me there were a few occasions of critical questions, but opening up prospects, and made proposals. I think it's only natural when you are in a large party that wants to be liberal and mass. You can advance the criticism and say, for example, that in the face of a government that had done well in many ways against the financial crisis. It is true that we are a priori against the action of the executive, it would be ridiculous. There are friends of the People of Liberty Future leaders of freedom and who are in the Berlusconi government. A government that has done well against the financial crisis, perhaps in a different way could modulate some interventions. For example, could avoid those linear cuts spending, ie cut that was superfluous and unnecessary, and at the same time that it was essential to cut, cuts that have resulted, to cite only two cases, two noisy protests. Protests by working people, women and men who could be here, and in some cases are here. I was injured in Venice when I saw the police forced to show their disapproval.
I think every manager deserves respect, all Italian citizens affected by those cuts were not made. And I also think the budget cuts to school, because of the protest of the precarious still do not know if in a few days, will resume when the school year, there will be a chair for them. Demolition is not a criticism of the government. It is the finding of fact that action must be taken when working knowing full well what the consequences might be. Then, you may criticizing, expressing doubts? As those not on fiscal federalism, but on its actual costs, its timing, because there is no doubt that fiscal federalism can be a major reform for the whole of Italy, but at times it seemed that it was not . It is reasonable to think that the prospects for the PDL not shared by all. For example, when it comes to combating illegal immigration, and it's sacrosanct, it should also give the perspective of immigrants' honest. And yet, the most serious issue, the guarantor is a sacrosanct principle, but never, ever be considered a sort of impunity permanent guarantee of the accused, of course, but the processes must take place. All this is heresy, and defeatism? It is dripping polemical point out that the Italian judiciary is a cornerstone of our democracy? You can not because a few bad apples contest that remains the defense of our Republic. It's a trickle to say that we are a great national party and that, precisely because it must take to heart the interests of all, from Innsbruck to Lampedusa, can not flatten the positions certainly important as an ally of the League but only has a regional dimension? When we say that it was not an act of great foresight on the part of the PDL, to give a reason Bossi, satisfy one thousand milk producers overshoot their quotas to the detriment of many honest farmers? The PDL had to be a great national party, a great Western party, with specific reference values: freedom, respect and human dignity. And if I had not been expelled from the PDL would have told you what I say now, after seeing the spectacle of a little decent Gaddafi in Rome a character who has nothing to teach us. As a former foreign minister know the reasons of realpolitik, I can even get to say that there may be a portion of realpolitik dictated by a legitimate calculation of interests, from a logic of a financial nature. But this can not lead to a kind of genuflection.
So, still, you can say within the PDL, as I said before, that there is a definite must for those who have institutional responsibilities, to respect the other institutions? When the premier asked that it be granted due respect, he must recognize the other, above the head of state representing the Constitution. And we must respect the Parliament, which is an annex of the executive. And I say that as chairman of the House, but because the powers must be balanced. You say that dripping rule is a noble and arduous undertaking, but can never mean control? Yes, because grooming is to understand the reasons for all and ensure balance. And always to be clear: it was dripping, provocation, boycott, stressing that the PDL should be guaranteed the opportunity to carry out the major reforms of a constitutional, economic, social? True, the crisis was an obstacle. But because we no longer speak of the need for major reform, from that of the Constitutional Charter, which can really put an end to this endless transition and give rise to the very dawn of a new republic? We had designed the PDL to maintain the existing, but as a force for truth and authentic change.
And, again, was proof of preconceived hostility to reiterate that at this stage of crisis - which is even more essential commitment to a policy aimed at ensuring a better pace of social justice. Over the past two years, from this point of view has changed little. And that revolution based on merit, with which they filled the streets during the election campaign as soon as possible to become not only a commitment but a political act achieved day by day with all the interventions designed to help those who are more capable. And I think I have the right to ask awkward questions from my community and this policy also do not think he deserved the gesture of annoyed and angry people who said it was incompatible with the PDL. The Prime Minister, I say this without irony, has many merits, but also some flaws: first, to not understand that in a liberal democracy can not exist because there may be heresy to orthodoxy. We are all grateful for what he did in '94, for defeating the so-called war machine, but gratitude does not mean that there can be no comparison, that the distinction should be charged with treason, because we are a nation of subjects. I have challenged the his ability to confuse leadership with what is the attitude of the owner of a company. Precisely because the PDL has opened horizons of great hope, can not be declassified in the leading edge, but should be a source of ideas, a lung that breathes and gives oxygen to the entire nation. Claiming the opportunity to express opinions, make proposals, criticisms, evaluations do not boycott, but may be internal democracy, the physiology of a liberal party of the masses, not theater of politics. It is possible that the only time that has met the leadership of the PDL has marked the time to initiate the process leading up to July 29? Not detrimental to the day that I consider myself, but a great party that is the PDL and is based on democracy.
Continue in this internal dialogue does not mean betraying the voters because there are many, many moderate voters of the PDL genuinely not satisfied with the affirmation that "we are the party of moderates." There are very many voters convinced that the reason the PDL before the policy is to ensure the public interest, the common good of the polis, the interest of the community, national, not the interest of a party. There are people who do not understand why the PDL instead of working to unite, to share work, to raise the stakes, to determine collisions.
is truly the PDL national. Of course, these voters of the PDL is in many cases women and men who voted the National Alliance, but not all. I am electorate of other political traditions. And we've got the evidence after the expulsion, when they consist of groups of future and freedom. They joined the men and women who had not had anything to do with the political tradition. The
want to do is to thank those Members who had never been in Mirabello. An Fli is not in the sixteenth. Who does not think he understood anything at all. Here is the difficult but necessary attempt not to lose that dream. We must give answers to the many women and many men who read even more pages of policy, which feed on nuisance for newscasts and newspapers, with rare exceptions, almost seem to be photocopies. The country is growing detachment from politics, that of the fences. Fli must be a reference point for many voters in the last election abstained or maybe in the next administration without an alternative, would refrain. Voters are telling us to go forward, trying to defend not only our good reasons, but the original principles, the most authentic of the PDL, which ask us to create a good policy, which is the only antidote to the growing mistrust in institutions. When many people lose faith in politics is the eve of moments that may be more problematic. The PDL, as we had planned and wanted, ended July 29 because it was no longer wish to give life to that exchange of ideas that is the spice of democracy. The PDL is gone, there is now the party of the step. In some ways that the PDL is Strength Italy has widened with some colonel or captain who has just changed and maybe the general is ready to change again. And the fact that the PDL is gone is the reason why is easy to answer the question: what will happen? And it is much easier to answer if we think, rather than if you take the desires or fears. Fli may not return to what is no more, no happen. We do not enter into what is no more, you go forward with our ideas, our commitment, our policy development. Do not we retire to a convent, or wandering err awaiting forgiveness.
parliamentary groups can not be processed - Berlusconi is a man of spirit and will not if - as if they were customers of the stand, if they change the supermarket which hitherto have used then get the prize fidelity. The parliamentarians who are with us they want to do politics, talking with people. We go forward with our ideas, our proposals, it goes without being intimidated by what has been called the "method Boffo" fielded in the last month by some newspapers that should be the business card of the "party of love." And if this is the bad habit, imagine if they were not loving what could happen. Let us not be intimidated, because of intimidation we have experienced very different in years when the threat to the right were quite different. Let us not be intimidated by paranoid and pathetic campaign. Indecent because paranoid and pathetic because they are not aware of the contempt that is mounting in the people.
We look forward to both the judiciary to clarify what and how many lies, and how many such defamation, which and how many hints, such as how many and vulgarity, which and how many actions to create a true Islamic stoning type. Other than the values \u200b\u200bof freedom. It was a disgraceful attitude, not because he turned to me, but to my family, and is typical of the infamous. It goes on and you do to keep faith with the spirit of its origins, it goes on not to betray the spirit of the PDL, we go forward to keep the government commit other errors, you go ahead - and if you take away from the head - without changes in the field without reversals and tactics, because from this point of view, the controversies are a sign of the low level of understanding. It goes convinced, as we are, the need to complete the written agreement with the voters, not to mention any part of the program and without adding some that the program was not there and then it becomes an emergency before which all must stop. It goes on even when the prime minister will present the new deal for next year's legislature, the famous five points - the reform of justice, the South, federalism, taxes and security - it is obvious that our leaders speak loud and clear and speak without distinction between hawks and doves, because we do not care ornithology. We are passionate about political debate, and unlike others we face.
And God forbid: parliamentarians of the Future and freedom, if they want to restore dignity and spirit of that implementation who was the project of the PDL, may object to the tenets of the program? And then we will support women and men free program. But I think that it can not be denied to us as to any congressman or senator of the majority, to ask how to link these objectives of the program. Constructive spirit, we will ask how you want to create this program. Fli not pulling against, but it is the political action of those who want to walk fast to profitably re-establishing the government in a good relationship with public opinion (because there are some signs of fatigue, my friends, not polls or surveys). We'll try to create a pact term, therefore, to fill with concrete facts that separate us from the years when we to vote. It is a "national interest", and therefore we believe it is political adventurism threatens every other day and the other elections as well, perhaps to intimidate and perhaps to settle the score with someone. Governing is hard work, trust in the sense of responsibility of everyone, without exception. Why the failure of this term would be a failure for all: for me, Fli, for Berlusconi. And I think he is conscious Berlusconi. Why so many expressions beyond controversy, when you get a trust so great and you get a parliamentary majority as it had never happened in the history of the Republic, the first thing to do is put the door on those who dissent or maybe it's unpleasant, but govern. We are confident that a deal can ensure the legislature's term. And I think also being aware of Bossi and the League. Bossi understands the moods of the people, is a popular leader. We polemicized is often true. Only those who do not know history, as well as geography, may think that there really Padania! Bossi has understood that the flag raised for first years, even picking up the irony and skepticism of many, federalism may be a flag raising, which would lead to the fulfillment of that historic mission that Bossi has given to his movement . But federalism is only possible if it is in all of Italy. Bossi is real man, knows that the North needs of federalism provided that is in the name of the public. And I can safely say that the bicameral committee of thirty members for fiscal federalism, our Senator Baldassarri is crucial. Then, we discuss along with the League and Forza Italy enlarged meaning of federalism Fair. It's a great question that is not reduced to the ratio of Calderoli and Tremonti. It can be realized as long as you establish standard costs.
The South has everything to gain from a reform in the federal sense, which is essential to assess the costs of the standard regions, because no one can argue that the costs in Emilia Romagna are not the same as those in Calabria. No one defends historical expenditure, under which the authorities were seen to pay their expenses at the foot of the list, but the definition of the parameters of expenditure can not be discussed, as they should discuss the timing of federalism or of what it means equalization fund . Even more so, with this reform must be worthy of an anniversary, the celebration of 150 years of Italian unity, which must be not only the reconstruction of historical events, but the opportunity for a national reform, which does not leave behind some regions, that is not part of an expression of selfishness to the detriment of all. Italy is not only an indivisible interest in the South, but also in the North. And just see what happens outside our nation to realize that if the crisis shakes Greece, Germany, Padania certainly can not survive the crisis of a single European country or overlooking the Mediterranean. Italy has the duty to confirm its unity and to compete with other countries. Has the duty to establish a new pact term, it is no longer a table with two legs, or a managed retirement agreement.
But what happened to that point in the program with which you were taking the applause on the abolition of the provinces? What happened to that point in the program which included the privatization of municipal? It was enough to understand that in some areas became the treasure of a party to align the League the Italian left. The new pact term is no longer just between Berlusconi and Bossi, but in everyone's interest, but also of the League of Silvio Berlusconi. I am convinced that the realism and pragmatism will put aside the stigma, because we do not stop. Needless to say, "do what they want," because we will. They serve no ultimatums because not scare us. Silvio Berlusconi has the sacred right to rule, because it has been chosen by the voters in an unequivocal way and I have no difficulty saying that to think of judicial shortcuts for turning him out, would represent a betrayal of the democratic will. Nobody is against the Alfano Bill or legitimate impediment. We are convinced that we need to answer the question of law that Berlusconi to govern without any interference from iperpoliticizzati segments of the judiciary who want to put him offside. Relying on Dr. Strangelove - that is Mr Ghedini - is incomprehensible. The solution is never found and the problem becomes acute. It should not be made a law ad personam damage the company, but a law to protect the head of government, the head of state that exists in many European countries.
That does not mean impunity, does not mean delete processes, but the suspension of the same. And we do try to have in mind that some reforms are right: how do you process to be opposed to the quick? You have to work for and what we remember about that the EU has repeatedly condemned for their excessive length, often take years to know how it ends. But what is unacceptable is the risk that, when many victims are waiting to know the fate of the process, then remain with absolutely nothing in his hand. The reform must be made to ensure the citizens. Justice reform can not be made against the judiciary, which certainly did not interfere with the task of Parliament. Then we discuss in Parliament, how to guarantee the right to rule on Berlusconi, also discuss with the parties most responsible for the opposition: a demonstration on this point has Casini date. We also discuss the proposals arising from the opposition, without the able advisers to the prince straccino immediately. And I think the proposals made by lawyers as Pecorella, Consolo and current vice president of CSM, Vietti. Let justice reform without result in an enduring short circuit between the political power and the judiciary. It is a huge undertaking, difficult, however, that we must pursue. If sovereignty belongs to the people, sovereignty is expressed in many ways. Here we want to revive a proposal, one of those for whom they say, "Fini said things that bring him close to the left." Popular sovereignty means that people have the right to choose their representatives. If sovereignty is popular belief that people have the right to choose, too. Federalism and justice are major issues, but can not be the only topics of discussion. Why the attention of Italians is not directed only to justice today many Italians are worried about economic conditions.
The Italians, on the north and south, are concerned about the economic and social conditions and the work is not propaganda or demagoguery, or "to do" opposition. Are the problems of families. Fli must do everything to assist the two main themes of federalism and other justice issues that really matter to citizens. Keep in mind that they said the head of state, businesses, workers. Possible that in the five points there is nothing to jump-start the economy and make it competitive? There is an Italy worried. And Berlusconi is right when he speaks of optimism, but optimism can not be only verbal, must be turned into practical action. Why stop the crisis (and our government has done good in this sense), now we have to put the economy. We can not guarantee that the revenues are satisfied with the economy. You need the political courage to restore life to those reforms that were in the original program of the PDL and not hear about, for example, the overcoming of the two false myths of the twentieth century, class struggle and the Mercat. He arrived time to give life to a synthesis, a new pact between capital and labor: producing wealth: putting on the same side of the fence. A proposal that I made at the national direction and fell into nothingness, is a reform of the labor market. We need a policy that understands the needs of our manufacturing world. Small businesses know better than anyone. It is important to remember that the manufacturing base is different from other countries, is based on small and medium enterprises. It cuts the superfluous, but do not skimp on infrastructure, in research, production of cutting-edge excellence. We live in a time when the cultural deposits are worth more - in globalization - the oil fields. We have to invest, although it is clear that the deck is short. It would be easy to say "the government pull out of resources". But we all go from unhappy to say that there is one area where you should invest, and is connected to what the industry can make to the competitiveness of our productive system. Especially for our businesses that export is not enough to think about the relocation of businesses, but one who wants to attract capital and put in a position to invest and to do so.
means to implement the key points of the PDL program. I do not want to sink the knife through butter, but despite the "ghe I think, it seems possible that you still do not know the name of Minister for Economic Development, In what other country would be possible?
is clear that a minister must be able to reason and work with the Minister of Economy. And it is clear that a policy capable of liberalization, a policy that can give life to the pact between generations. Because I think there is another major area in which a center-right government that cares about the national government should not spare himself: it is the youth, in fact there is no parent worthy of the name that is not willing to make a personal sacrifice for the future of their children.
The youth question is central, and my heart is aching for young people that there is an unemployed person in four. There are those who smuggle flexibility that is needed for the economy and businesses, with the permanent insecurity: they forget that in Germany there are so many fixed-term contracts, but there the salaries are not sure how to read to us, but more often full-bodied as those of permanent contracts. And we must realize that the generational pact is as important as the one between North and South if we care about the national government. Because it is not just to serve the help of his grandfather to his grandson to live more peaceful: it is completely turned the world before it was often thanks to the work of his nephew who claimed his grandfather.
Poniamoceli these problems. We ask the boys a commitment and when I say we go and we do not stop, I say this because in recent weeks we have seen how the young to say "try it, do not stop, we are with you." I think it's very nice to see so many girls here tonight and so many guys who still want to believe in a policy that can build their future. The future of freedom. And the first freedom and enable them to see what they are capable. What happened to the meritocratic revolution? Worry about social conditions. I think that should cause concern to all who read the so-called social spending in our country is one of the last countries in Europe. Why go ahead Future and freedom, because they are the foundations that have served to fill a void. You must ask ourselves, as the company has changed dramatically, if social spending must be paid to those groups traditionally weaker or not the time to invest in the family that remains the place where it always gives rise to the transmission of values , it creates the condition for which you feel the children of a community. Need a welfare opportunities for young people, based on the needs of families, especially single-income. Today, the center must be able to translate into reality what had been included in the government program.
intervene with policies to support families also means that if the five points is the reduction of the tax burden we can not just announce it but we must assume the responsibility to make proposals. And we have made these are: act, for example, the so-called family quotient, which makes sure that those who have more children at home or a disabled person then has a tax burden different from others. And it is necessary that everything we talk about it in Parliament, and I am glad that he did such Minister Tremonti. And let's also trying to involve the opposition, if you have ideas to understand even if the concept of national interest has also made inroads there. Greater social justice is dear to all, a big government knows how to take good idea even if the opposition. We take this collection to Italy that works. Italy that works, then that is equivalent to Italy honest, that when they hear about the ethics of duty does not have the attitude of those who shrugs and says, "and cobwebs of the past." It is the ethic that the father teaches his son, and policy needs to feel the duty to practice.
The spirit, the sense of belonging. Enough of this selfishness spread, with Italy this fragmented that no longer charged to the distress of their neighbors. A national policy is not afraid to speak of law as a guarantee for the weak. Why in the world since the world is said that "the law is equal for all" that the guarantee is the weakest, not the most powerful, who can bend it to his interests. This is the center-right. If we believe in these things, do not tire of thanking those who does his duty for the State: and gratitude, and citizenship. Being servants of the state, in Italy we dream, it must be a cause of honor. You can not say that "they are poor who do not know what else to do and then decide to go into law enforcement" means to serve our people, our homeland. And even more convinced than ever, we continue the fight against all forms of crime, including white-collar, wide boys of the neighborhood, who thinks he is granted impunity. We continue the fight for the rule of law, re-launched anti-corruption decree: what costs it back in the spotlight of Parliament? We discuss the advisability of establishing a code of ethics for those who have public positions. By establishing what is legal and what not, but also what is appropriate and what is not. On these and other issues, we work to unite not to divide. On these issues we try to create a policy that marks a quantum leap. The Italians are tired of this perpetual campaign that never ends, this triumph of propaganda, this daily ordeal. Fli we are looking forward to join, we are convinced that these issues, with political action that starts from the center can be find even more. The Italians are tired of walls and fights, let's stop with the insults, with the appeals fall on deaf ears. We set up a policy that is capable of a burst of pride, a flash in the name of what is right, not what is useful. You know, many have told me: "Who you do it? But wait, you're younger." But I believe that if we want to give Italy the passion it deserves.
utilitarianism Enough, enough with the calculation of the pharmacist, just to wait for better tomorrow. We must throw your heart over the obstacle, you have to make sense of politics and it must be done in the name of our ideas and our conception of politics. Recalling what we had in the heart at 18-20 years, when none of us thought at the entrance to Parliament or institutional positions and no one was driven by utilitarianism, nor was there someone who said: "Wait, you do not agree, you know it is touchy ' . Bearing in mind, as we like to say to young people, that if a man is not willing to fight for their ideas or their ideas are worth nothing or no value him as a man. Then, in the name of a truly liberal center-right National reformer, social, European, and freedom ahead with the Future in Italy!
