Jiffy Mix Proportions

Lettera di Nichi Vendola al Convegno di Livorno - 19/02/2011



Care companions and dear friends,

Thank you for your invitation to the event, which I greatly appreciated. The occasion of a demonstration of the left, promoted by the network of socialists, in a city so important to our history as Livorno, is really a precious opportunity that I wanted to take, but unavoidable commitments have prevented me.
While we can not attend, I send you warm encouragement to continue the research and political action that you took during these months. Your contribution, together with that of the many healthy and active forces that move in Italian society, it is useful to reconstruct, not the nostalgia of the past, but in this research for a new political culture and practice of progress and freedom, the reasons for the founding of political equality and freedom. The political culture of the socialist heritage is essential to this new beginning, this new fertilization of a land so arid that of what is left. Our trial has been and remains that of interpreting the anxiety of change in this country, the desire for revenge and justice of many people suffer from policies of right-wing government, but from thirty years of this liberal and illiberal. We want to prove out "from the left" by the current crisis. Today it is possible, but not granted. The push to overcome the emergency situation by Berlusconi, relying on a moderate and conservative direction, and are threatening. Yet, by strikes called by the FIOM student mobilizations, down to an extraordinary mobilization of women on Sunday that Italy's claim that space and better future. Next Sunday we held a national demonstration in Rome, which we called "Change Italy", where we would like to invite you, because we think it is right to change Italy, possible and necessary. Change Italy to return to the center of the Mediterranean, through today by the winds of revolt and the aspirations for freedom. Changing Italy to face and overcome the crisis which is global, but in Europe it is more dull and disturbing. Change Italy starting from the left, which will bind more and more European families of progress, from the socialist. Change Italy in order to be faithful to our constitution, yet extremely relevant and limited extent in its more far-sighted and innovative. With the left ecology freedom we have started a journey that aims to answer these questions of change, but we know that we could not do it alone. change together, comrades! Change, and change the left Italy!

Fraternally,

Nichi Vendola
