Nevertheless, an increasing number of Europeans feel uneasy about people who escape poverty and violence in search of a decent and safe life far away from their home. This European uneasiness is expressed in fears that range from unfair competition in the labour market and reduced access to social services in the host countries to the perceived threat posed by migrants to national identities, ethnic homogeneity and security. The aim of this book is to try and shed light on the paradox that the disadvantaged and marginalised rep- resent an imminent threat to our societies. It also aims to explain the origin of a political short circuit that is affecting public opinion right across Europe and impacting on electoral results, political dynamics and immigration policies in many EU member states. This anti-migrant backlash is altering – sometimes dramatically – the balance of power between mainstream parties and so-called populist and extremist ones. It is even changing the face and soul of the European Union. Changes in people’s and governments’ attitudes towards immigra- tion, from being (more or less) open to being (more or less) closed and vice versa, are far from being infrequent. What is noteworthy is the unprecedented extent to which the topic has become cen- tral in national and European debates. At international level, this change of attitude emerged in the decision last year of five coun- tries (three of which European) not to adopt the Global Compact for Migration, promoted by the United Nations, disavowing two years of negotiations and rejecting the first attempt ever to define a common framework of reference for the international com- munity on how to approach this complex issue of migration and advance the establishment of a real and effective global govern- ance of the phenomenon. At European level, we have observed a ACHIEVING COMMON PROGRESSIVE NARRATIVES 7 growing inability – that indeed is tantamount to a stalemate – by the member states to make decisive steps in the urgent reform of the Dublin regulation, as well as in other migration and asylum policies, except those aimed at border controls and the reduction of irregular arrivals. European progressive parties have been the ones hardest hit by these developments. They are torn between their desire to stand for their values of solidarity and respect for human rights and digni- ty regardless of nationality, skin colour or religion, and their mission to stand for the rights and grievances of workers (often the social class that feels particularly threatened by migration). The decline of European progressive parties cannot of course be ascribed entire- ly to the migration issue. Indeed, their crisis started much earlier and is connected to the broader loss of popular support for tradi- tional parties and organisations. Yet there can be no doubt that for the last couple of years the question of migration has dominated headlines and debates all over Europe, has contributed to increas- ing polarisation in European politics and societies, has weakened pro-European stances across the continent and has tempted many progressive parties into adopting an increasingly restrictive attitude towards migration in order to prevent the further alienation of their voters and re-gain electoral support. Against this backdrop the Foundation for European Progressive Studies, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, the Fondazione Pietro Nenni and the Fondation Jean Jaurès have promoted the analysis of this change of public opinion in seven EU member states: Hungary, Austria, Italy, Germany, France, Sweden and the United Kingdom. These case studies have been selected because they offer a rep- resentation of a wide range of histories and experiences in the field of immigration, are characterised by different national political contexts and have been impacted in different ways and to differ- ent extents by higher levels of immigration in recent years. The order in which the studies are presented roughly reflects the cur- rent approach of the respective governments towards migration, 8 EUROPEAN PUBLIC OPINION AND MIGRATION from the most repressive extreme to more positive attitudes. Starting from the analysis of how public opinion towards migration has changed in these countries in the last five years, the aim of this book is to provide recommendations for national progressive parties that are struggling to find ways to deal with such a delicate issue without betraying their basic principles and values. A fur- ther step was the identification of commonalities among the case studies in order to define a possible joint strategy for European progressive parties. In the spectrum of the European countries under analysis, Hungary certainly represents the one with the most extreme and restrictive positions on migration; positions that have their roots in the fact that the country and its population have so far experienced very lit- tle immigration and that Fidesz, the ruling party, has exploited and strengthened the deep-rooted sentiments of “caution, antipathy and occasionally outright xenophobia” of the Hungarian popula- tion by means of a relentless anti-migration propaganda campaign (facilitated by the tight control on media exerted by the govern- ment), in fact aimed at domestic political gains. In his analysis on developments within Hungarian public opinion, author Tamás Boros underlines the small role played by left-wing parties that have not developed a genuine counter narrative but have limited their actions to highlighting the security aspects of the phenome- non and the role of the EU, while condemning the “government’s hate-mongering”. Boros recognises that in the present circum- stances, sustaining a position diametrically opposed to that of the government and of the large majority of the population would not produce positive effects, and he therefore underlines the fact that offering global and European solutions to a

  • Capitolo Primo La Formazione Di Bettino Craxi
    CAPITOLO PRIMO LA FORMAZIONE DI BETTINO CRAXI 1. LA FAMIGLIA Bettino, all’anagrafe Benedetto Craxi nasce a Milano, alle 5 di mattina, il 24 febbraio 1934, presso la clinica ostetrica Macedonio Melloni; primo di tre figli del padre Vittorio Craxi, avvocato siciliano trasferitosi nel capoluogo lombardo e di Maria Ferrari, originaria di Sant’Angelo Lodigiano. 1 L’avvocato Vittorio è una persona preparata nell’ambito professionale ed ispirato a forti ideali antifascisti. Vittorio Craxi è emigrato da San Fratello in provincia di Messina a causa delle sue convinzioni socialiste. Trasferitosi nella città settentrionale, lascia nella sua terra una lunga tradizione genealogica, cui anche Bettino Craxi farà riferimento. La madre, Maria Ferrari, figlia di fittavoli del paese lodigiano è una persona sensibile, altruista, ma parimenti ferma, autorevole e determinata nei principi.2 Compiuti sei anni, Bettino Craxi è iscritto al collegio arcivescovile “De Amicis” di Cantù presso Como. Il biografo Giancarlo Galli narra di un episodio in cui Bettino Craxi è designato come capo classe, in qualità di lettore, per augurare il benvenuto all’arcivescovo di Milano, cardinal Ildefonso Schuster, in visita pastorale. 3 La presenza come allievo al De Amicis è certificata da un documento custodito presso la Fondazione Craxi. Gli ex alunni di quella scuola, il 31 ottobre 1975 elaborano uno statuto valido come apertura di cooperativa. Il resoconto sarà a lui indirizzato ed ufficialmente consegnato il 10 ottobre 1986, allor quando ritornerà all’istituto in veste di Presidente del Consiglio; in quell’occasione ricorderà la sua esperienza durante gli anni scolastici e commemorerà l’educatore laico e socialista a cui la scuola è dedicata.

  • Renzo Zaffanella Su Pietro Nenni
    IL PROFILO UMANO E POLITICO DI NENNI NEL RICORDO DI RENZO ZAFFANELLA* Intervistato da Agostino Melega** Questa volta sono io a chiamare al telefono Zaffanella:<<Renzo, mi potresti rilasciare un’intervista su Pietro Nenni, per l’inserto de L’Eco del popolo su Cronaca?>> <<Volentieri! >>, mi risponde subito pronto, ed il giorno dopo lo raggiungo nella sua abitazione. Trovo l’ex sindaco di Cremona molto disponibile e sereno nel recuperare il filo della memoria sulla figura di Pietro Nenni, del quale il 1° di gennaio di quest’anno è ricorso il trentennale della scomparsa. Il mio interlocutore ha preparato per l’occasione una serie di appunti e di date precise, che hanno contrassegnato, con la vita di Nenni, le vicende politiche del nostro Paese e non solo, e subito confida: <<In una sola cosa non sono stato d’accordo con Nenni: nell’insistere nel rapporto d’alleanza fra il Psiup – si chiamava così il Partito socialista nel 1946 -, ossia fra il Partito socialista italiano di unità proletaria e i comunisti. Nenni non fu certo il solo a portare avanti quel dissanguamento. Fra il 1945 e il 1946 erano infatti molti, fra i socialisti, quelli che spingevano per arrivare a fondere addirittura insieme i due partiti socialista e comunista. E così si portò avanti un’alleanza, quella del Fronte Democratico Popolare, che da una parte impoverì a dismisura la nostra rappresentanza parlamentare e politica, dall’altra ebbe l’effetto di vederci cacciar fuori dall’Internazionale socialista. Nenni, romagnolo generoso, era un passionale, e non si accorse del gioco tattico e del freddo cinismo di Togliatti che tagliava erba nel campo del nostro elettorato, e lo faceva con una determinazione scientifica>>.

  • The Eisenhower Administration and Italy's
    IkeBrogi and Italy Ike and Italy: The Eisenhower Administration and Italy’s “Neo-Atlanticist” Agenda ✣ ecent scholarship has conªrmed that the major West European countriesR played a vital role in shaping the international system after World War II. Even the diplomacy of the much berated French Fourth Republic has now been redeemed.1 This article examines the extent to which Italy sought to improve its international position during a crucial phase of the Cold War. It also considers how the United States exploited Italy’s international political ambitions. Conventional wisdom holds that Italian leaders after World War II sur- rendered almost all of their leeway in foreign policy to Italy’s European and Atlantic partners. Italy’s humiliating defeat in the war, the task of economic reconstruction, the country’s deep political divisions, and the long record of Italy’s subordination to the great powers in Europe all posed formidable ob- stacles to any dream of diplomatic prominence. Even after an economic re- covery took hold in the 1950s, Italy’s inºuence in world politics was less than its demographic and economic size would have implied. Italy’s faction-ridden political elites, the traditional argument goes, ensured that the country always subordinated its foreign policy to domestic concerns. As an American politi- cal analyst, Norman Kogan, put it in 1957, “the key objective of Italian For- eign Policy is to protect the domestic social structure from internal dangers.” This tendency allegedly induced Italian leaders to defer to the United States, which they regarded as the best guardian of their country’s internal stability and perhaps even of their own political ambitions.

  • The 18 April 1948 Italian Election: Seventy Years on Page 1 of 4
    LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: The 18 April 1948 Italian election: Seventy years on Page 1 of 4 The 18 April 1948 Italian election: Seventy years on Italy’s election on 4 March was far from the first Italian election campaign to have generated high levels of interest across the rest of Europe. Effie G. H. Pedaliu writes on the seventieth anniversary of one of Italy’s most significant and controversial elections: the 1948 Italian general election, which pitted the country’s Christian Democrats against the Popular Democratic Front in which the Italian Communist Party, the largest communist party outside the Soviet Union, was the dominant partner. The sound and fury unleashed by the populist onslaught in Italy’s recent general election on 4 March 2018 may obscure the seventieth anniversary of one of the country’s most significant, controversial and decisive general elections, that of 18 April 1948. The 1948 election was the first general election since Mussolini’s ‘march on Rome’ in 1922 and Italians were going to the ballot box not just to elect a government, but also to determine the political orientation of their country. The result would not only shape the future of Italy, but it was also considered to be critical to the survival of the West and the post WWII liberal democratic order. Italians faced a straight choice: to vote either for Alcide de Gasperi’s Christian Democrats or Palmiro Toglatti’s and Pietro Nenni’s Popular Democratic Front in which the Italian Communist Party, the largest communist party outside the Soviet Union, was the dominant partner.

Quando parlano de- gli avvenimenti ungheresi del 1956, Montanelli e Cervi non possono dimenticare di esserne stati testimoni. Quando il tema è quello delle grandi manifestazioni genovesi del 1960, con cui le sinistre boicottarono il congresso del Movimento sociale italiano e provocarono la caduta del governo Tam- broni, le parole sono quelle con cui Cervi aveva raccontato gli scontri di piazza De Ferrari sulle colonne del suo giorna- le. Molte parti del volume, quindi, hanno il tono e l’andatura di una cronaca diretta. Lo stesso può dirsi dei profili biografici dei maggiori protagonisti di quegli anni. Montanelli è un abile ritrattista anche quando il personag- gio appartiene al passato. Ma gli schizzi dal vero di persone con cui l’autore ha una personale familiarità posseggono una più immediata freschezza.
