Bertinotti: "The turning point in foreign policy change pacifism"
Nino Bertoloni Meli
ROMA "I very happy and satisfied. In Brussels, has been awarded the new Italian foreign policy. " Fausto Bertinotti followed by France, where he is on vacation all the steps in the "Lebanon mission, approved, encouraged, suggested and now has no reason to hide his satisfaction. "The change in strategic axis is clear, obvious. For the first time a clear leading role of the EU on the international stage. A leading role without adjectives, already say "Atlantic Europe" appears limited to, binding to a known carrier. Europe and the EU are active couple. We are finally in the premise and promise of a new Italian presence in the world. Europe grows, and Annan also often cautious and wary, as it is released. And all this is declined on peace instead of war. Yes, I'm really happy. "
President Bertinotti, the radical left is now in favor of intervention in Lebanon, while the center-right and moderate fields Union came doubts and concerns. How do you explain this paradox?
"Not really. The Union is all for intervention, as the concerns, I also I, we have all, but are not policy. "
So how are things?
"would rather a comparison, and also profound differences between the peace camp on one side and the center of the other." This
to explain what?
"Simple, we are in the presence of a strategic repositioning of Italy in the world stage. E 'in place a real change in foreign policy. The acts this government and this majority show that Italy will again become a force for peace in the Mediterranean, a rediscovery of the long course of Italian history, overshadowed, even stopped in recent years. "
This explains the almost enthusiastic membership of the left wing and pacifist radic mission to Lebanon?
"Before a relocation geo-politics of our country, in harmony with the upgrading of the role of the EU and the UN, before a resumption of positive leading role for peace, in such a context it is obvious that all those forces that have opposed the preemptive war, the unilateral nature of the intervention and placement Atlantic not mindful of the Mediterranean tradition of Italy, can not but feel in harmony and protagonists of this new course. The Italian intervention, and now the EU, is an intervention of peace. So far he had always acted against someone - Afghanistan, Iraq - now there is a unified initiative in favor of someone and something for peace. And not only under UN auspices, but with the UN center stage. In Lebanon, you go to stop a spiral of war and terrorism. And it is clear that the front of the Pacific is reflected. "
Bertinotti so it is now on the march with the pacifist spirit of the Perugia-Assisi. Also this historic event has changed its nature?
"Even This time the gear is, until now had always been against any intervention. It 's the first time that happens, with this peace all over the islands and deployed. A repositioning of Italy's foreign policy is a re-positioning of peace forces. "
Concerns remain some moderate forces.
"The concerns are not the monopoly of those who express them, are general, not that someone is indifferent to people's lives. Personally I am opposed to any argument against those who put forward concerns about human life. But he added, expressing the same concerns should have been other times, such as for Iraq, and an equal sensitivity would not go amiss about the war dead are white on the job. "
There is a rethinking of the use of force in world peace?
"Use of force is an expression too vague. There are those who like me has arrived to non-violence and seeks to drain the world from all forms of violence. One should recognize that this reclamation has its maximum in the rejection of war and all weapons, a share of violence is still built today in places and equipment, such as those of the State aimed to exercise the power of the law. Well, as the power of the State may request not to carry out a violent attack the rights of people, so you can focus on the international stage in the use of weapons is a "no use", as deterrence. The leader of Lebanon's Siniora has theorized in a sense when he said "we are not asking to use weapons, but to accompany the action of the Lebanese army." There is no use of offensive weapons. And there's a huge difference between an army that makes war and occupying a country by force of arms, and interposition of an intervention of international forces with the consent of all, I stress all the countries concerned. Not that the U.S. asked Saddam if he agreed with their armed intervention. " How
House speaker calls for a unitary motion or one that marks the differences with the opposition in Parliament?
"I think we should aim for a resolution involving all the forces in parliament. The consensus is a positive ambition that should be pursued. "
remains the problem of Hezbollah be disarmed? How? By whom?
"Who says it does not want UN intervention. One of two things: if you promote the launching unilateral military intervention is not the UN, this organization acts only with the consent of the parties concerned. The operation to disarm Hezbollah does not want him either Annan or others, among other things make it difficult if not impossiile the involvement of Islamic countries of origin. It should be escalated to a real war, and those concerns about the lives we were talking about that would end? We avoid short to reduce the issues to purely domestic disputes. That is a task that will take you directly to Lebanon. "
As the political objective of the mission?
"Twofold: to stop the violence in those territories and peace-oriented, with an initiative that will lead to implementation of the slogan" two peoples, two states ". Just as it should be recognized Israel's right to exist and to live safely, we must recognize the equal right to have a Palestinian state. "
President Bertinotti, we come to politics. His peers in the Senate, Marini, has asked to change the electoral law. E 'right?
"That now is a bad law, I find it alright to advance ideas and requests. Not necessarily add that the electoral law is now a priority. And then, in what direction change? ".
Yeah, what kind of new electoral system?
"A premise: we come from a season that lasts for about fifteen years when there was discussion of electoral laws and institutional reforms, according to a utilitarian view of the time, and under the pressure of a password that it intended to make all the rest: governance. There was no news from the parties of the country. He thought, however, the constitutional referendum to bury everything and say that from now on you can put some change in hand, but from the fact that the entire constitutional structure is basically maintained. It should be an electoral system that would bring people and institutions that confirms and raises the role of political parties, which promotes a new strategy for participation. The system that encourages this is proportional, and the most appropriate to ensure this is Germany. "
Finance Law. It 's true that it will be the litmus test for keeping the government?
"How many nines are asking and expecting! I would suggest a doubt or hope to compete on the grounds of the estate of five years. "
endorses the idea of \u200b\u200ba new social contract suggested by Prodi?
"I have a suspicion the same old formula of" social pact ", I shun you. I prefer the term "reform." They are rather to identify the driving forces of change, and the individual in the large field of labor, and environmental forces in a part of the bourgeoisie, one that has figured out how neoliberal policies instead of being liberating for business, eventually become part of mortification. And he also understood that the challenge to the international competition it rests on the compression of the cost of labor. " Literature Liberation

Law 180. Debate on insanity and normality
Dear Editor, in the letter about "Liberation" yesterday, "Law 180. We look forward to discuss? "We are facing mental health professionals who express opinions, criticisms, accusations, calling for changes in relation to Act 180. What would be legitimate and even useful, except that everything is done without knowledge of the rules on the merits and importance. For example, I want to stress that, contrary to argued, the law provides for no transfer of mental health to the regions (which are very notion League). To do their jobs with professionalism, care for a "global approach", there is no need for revisions. The 180 does not enter it in on professional operations and does not require any type of treatment. Does not, in short, no operator to do their jobs effectively. What is claimed then? About chronicity, I want to stress that this is often the result of technical, being reductionist, does not account for other needs, such as the right of citizenship, job placement, housing rights, according to a taking basagliana memory load. Caring means just do not take into account only the health needs but also social rights. There is therefore no ambiguity. This approach extends the boundaries and extent of any psychiatric technique, without excluding any form of psychotherapy, in fact all the talk about the latest acquisitions of multiple interventions, and only the conservatives linked to unnecessary orthodoxies do not have the ability to take this news. Think of the mind with psychotherapy and scotomize the physical body and the social body is an old and a culture that has nothing to do with the left and PRC in particular. Finally, who is called the left can not be ignorant of battles and cultures relative. Should be advised to read and study Basaglia Get The Marxian and feminist. Without these bases is complicated debate about madness and normality which then is nothing more than a debate about the meaning of life. E 'element of concern for me to read letters signed by psychiatrists who offer such positions for which they are involving the local health director. In the same there are dozens of serious professionals who do not separate into groups, but working in a network, while dinners are others who choose to select patients who prefer to treat, which do not engage in the SPDC and the crisis, leaving the patient who may be content physically ... I wonder how many of the players who have signed the letter yesterday engaged in treatment at home. It is perhaps because of this lack that families feel abandoned?
