  • Una Moderna Democrazia Europea L’Italia E La Sfida Delle Riforme Istituzionali*
    Una moderna democrazia europea L’Italia e la sfida delle riforme istituzionali* Le posizioni dei leader politici Giuliano Amato Al termine delle relazioni e degli interventi di quelli di noi che consideriamo esperti, sono tre i temi si quali è importante che si esprimano i leaders politici. Il primo è quello della forma di governo e dei suoi congegni, che, pur non essendo ignorato, è sempre nella sostanza pretermesso alla legge elettorale e visto come una conseguenza di ciò che con essa si fa o si pensa di fare. Ora, io capisco la propensione dei leaders ad occuparsi in primis dei meccanismi elettorali, che sono quelli attraverso i quali possono definire, assestare, finanche aggiustare i rapporti di forza tra i rispettivi partiti. Ma sino a quando faranno così, ribadiranno il peccato originale del sistema costituzionale italiano, che nessun Messia è ancora giunto a rimuovere. Ricordiamo tutti, infatti, la vicenda dell’ordine del giorno Perassi all’Assemblea Costituente. Ci si convinse allora che era giusto scegliere una forma di governo parlamentare, ma ci si rese anche conto che era pericoloso lasciarla esposta alle c.d. “degenerazioni del parlamentarismo”, figlie delle turbolenze e delle debolezze dei partiti, che erano state all’origine dell’avvento dei regimi fascista e nazista in Italia e in Germania. Il punto di incontro, perciò, tra chi voleva forme di governo di tipo presidenziale e chi difendeva il maggiore equilibrio del parlamentarismo, fu appunto l’ordine del giorno Perassi, che si riprometteva di irrobustire lo stesso parlamentarismo con meccanismi di razionalizzazione tali da garantire alle istituzioni di governo quel tanto di legittimazione e di stabilità, direttamente fondate sulla Costituzione, utili a non farle travolgere da ogni turbolenza.

  • Il Manifesto” Del 3 Ottobre 2004
    «A queste ritorme diciamo mille no» di Micaela Bongi pubblicato su “Il Manifesto” del 3 ottobre 2004 I1 «richiamo» ai partiti del listone, che a Montecitorio si erano astenuti sull'articolo I delle riforme? «Ma..., mi è venuto spontaneo, non ho fatto un approfondimento particola- re. Mi son detto: che vuol dire è così per l'articolo 1'? Dopo 1'1 vengono il 2, il 3, il 4...». Salito nel pomeriggio sul palco del Gran Teatro romano dove l'associazione Astrid e Li- bertà giustizia hanno organizzato il convegno «Salviamo la Costituzione», Romano Prodi risponde alle domande di David Sassoli che poco prima al leader dei Ds Piero Fassino aveva chiesto: «Basta tentennamenti?». Per sentirsi rispondere che figurarsi, non se ne parla, «non abbiamo avuto tentennamenti nella battaglia parlamentare». II Professore, a scanso di equivoci, ribadisce il concetto. Alle riforme della Casa berlu- sconiana dice «no, no, no, tre volte no, mille volte no». II monito del presidente della repubblica, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi? E' la maggioranza a doverlo ascoltare, «è un richiamo che dovrebbe far meditare molto il legislatore, a questo punto il dibattito in parlamento non può più essere lo stesso». Ma poiché pur di tenersi insieme questo governo e questa maggioranza - che «hanno già fatto tanto danno all'Italia e agli italiani, li hanno condotti a una guerra senza sbocco, li hanno resi più poveri, più incerti e insicuri» - stanno anche «colpendo profondamente la democrazia». Prodi incalza: «bisogna opporsi a questa prepotenza e a questa violenza con tutte le armi a nostra disposizione appellandoci al popolo italiano». La strada, insomma, è quella dei referendum, condivisa da Fassino.

  • Chronology of Italian Political Events, 2006
    CHRONOLOGY OF ITALIAN POLITICAL EVENTS, 2006 January 1 With the exception in particular of Rifondazione Comunista (RC, Communist Refoundation) and the Lega Nord (LN, Northern League) and, to a lesser extent, the Partito dei Comunisti Italiani (PdCI, Party of Italian Communists) and the Partito Radicale (Radical Party), the political parties express their admiration for the end-of-year address by the president of the Republic, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. The “gas war” breaks out between Russia and Ukraine. 2 The spokesperson for Piero Fassino, secretary of the Democratici di Sinistra (DS, Left Democrats), criticizes the newspaper Il Gior- nale for publishing wiretap transcripts of conversations between Fassino and the president of Unipol, Giovanni Consorte, and calls on the president of the Chamber of Deputies to take action. The Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi (ENI, National Hydrocarbon Corporation) announces a 25 percent reduction in natural gas imports from Russia. 3 The president of the Senate, Marcello Pera, calls for urgent reform of the laws regulating wiretapping. Justice Minister Roberto Cas- telli sends inspectors to the Milan district attorney’s office to investigate the role of magistrates in leaking information from the Unipol case. 4 In a letter to the newspaper La Stampa, Romano Prodi speaks out on the Unipol case, saying, “For some time, there has been a level of closeness between politics and economic institutions that, in certain instances, has been excessive.” Consorte is accused of criminal association. Compiled by Rinaldo Vignati 2 Chronology of Italian Political Events, 2006 5 Silvio Berlusconi launches an attack on the cooperatives, saying that “they do not pay their taxes” and accusing them of using their profits to finance the parties of the left.

  • The Western Balkans in the European Union: Enlargement to What, Accession to What?
    In cooperation with THE WESTERN BALKANS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION: ENLARGEMENT TO WHAT, ACCESSION TO WHAT? International Conference in the run up to the Italian Summit on the Western Balkans Rome, 5 April 2017 Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation International Conference Hall Working language: English In cooperation with With the support of strategic partner BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In 2014, in the wake of the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War, the Federal Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, initiated an intergovernmental process with the countries of the Western Balkans. Its aim is to improve their cooperation, put “fundamentals first”, and thereby reinvigorate their European integration. The first Summit in Berlin was followed by a second in Vienna in 2015 and a third in Paris in 2016. A fourth Summit will be convened by Italy in 2017, before the process is expected to end one year later, in 2018, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1. In order to encourage a European dialogue amongst citizens on the enlargement process, a Civil Society Forum was launched in 2015 during the Vienna Summit and a second was then held in parallel to the Paris Summit in 2016. At the same time, IFRI, CIFE and CFA, together with several other institutions, launched an initiative amongst think tanks and academic institutions on the Western Balkans and their European perspective in 2015, which culminated in the organisation of a “reflection forum” on the Western Balkans in May 2016 in Paris. Both initiatives provided a valuable platform for civil society and experts from all over Europe (EU and Western Balkans) and were followed by a series of outreach events and forums in all Western Balkan countries in order to share ideas on the Berlin Process.

  • PIERO FASSINO Former Mayor of Turin
    PIERO FASSINO Former Mayor of Turin Piero Fassino was born in Avigliana, in the Susa Valley, on the 7th of October 1949. He has served as State Secretary for Foreign Affairs during the Prodi Government, Minister of Foreign Trade during the D’Alema Government and Minister of Justice during the Amato Government. In 2009 he was appointed European Union Special Envoy for Burma/Myanmar. In 2011 he was elected Mayor of Torino. Graduated in Political Science, he started taking active part in politics in 1968 and in 1975 he was elected Councillor at the City Council of Torino and Provincial Councillor in 1980. In 1987 he was asked to guide the organization of PCI (Partito Comunista Italiano- Italian Communist Party) during the crucial phase of foundation of PDS (Partito Democratico della Sinistra- Democratic Left Party), a task continued in 1991 when he became international Secretary by leading the entry of PDS in the Socialist International. Elected for the first time at the Chamber of Deputies in 1994, he was then re-elected in 1996, 2001, 2006 and in 2008. In 1996 he started his first experiences in the National Government: State Secretary for Foreign Affairs during the Prodi Government, Minister of Foreign Trade during the D’Alema Government and Minister of Justice during the Amato Government. He is a convinced defender of the fact that the strength of a political idea starts from cities, from territories; for this reason in 2001, during a particularly critical period for the coalition between centre and left-wings parties, he became the leader of Democratici di Sinistra (Left Democrats) by reconstructing the “Ulivo” and leading it to victory on the occasion of all administrative, regional, European and political elections during the five years period 2002 – 2006 becoming, in 2007, cofounder of the Democratic Party.
