left 
The left that we want: values, social justice, building the future
is often said that the left there but it is more necessary than ever before. Maybe so, but surely it is essential to say what you want to do and why it is not enough to define themselves and there are no words of history that can magically fix the problem.
The political and cultural identity must be put to the test in the only way possible, ie in the concrete ideas and proposals to overcome the crisis and rebuild the country.
An ambitious task within a period of capitalism marked by a global crisis. There can be no reasons left not to this level is what we do.
We certainly have a reference and inspiration in the left in Italy and in Europe has looked a great prospect for freedom and democracy in solidarity. But if there are clear
cultures and traditions from which we come, we must look to where we want to go at a very difficult and hard, during which it is urgent to rethink the left as a useful tool in the face of accelerating change and seeing the world in constant motion, trying to give new answers to citizens' needs.
not resign ourselves to the victories of the center, we do not accept logic equidistance between Confindustria and the union. We want to build a political force that speaks to the work that is self-employed person, precarious, "manual" or "cognitive" which talks about gender gendered, environmental, social and civil rights, common goods, public space, migration , social justice, freedom and peace, who turns his gaze again to the great theme of equality.
The crisis offers us the opportunity and the need to rethink the economy, for a proposed environmental and social development of qualitative, equitable development, is great. Subject to general views on the possible but also practical attempts, plans minutes, men and women players in the newspaper. These are good practices, their enhancement and extension, the best food for the journey for those wishing to engage effectively in opposition to the right, build alliances and make a proposal new credibility of government of the country.
An extensive project, huge for our individual strength, but not for those who are currently scattered in the area whose boundaries kept the identity of the left. It 's a real one that we intend to undertake, outside the fence of membership became too narrow to provide an adequate response.
A research and a challenge, that of a synthesis between the cultures of innovation socialist, communist, environmentalism and the women's movement. Of
certainly there is that we need to move today, now.
VALUES Freedom, equality and equal opportunity, difference: they are the fundamental values \u200b\u200bfor the left today, for which political commitment and action in public administration.
Freedom of the people, their forms of expression and association, to decide their lives, studies, work, feelings, relationships.
Under the Constitution, born of the Resistance, City, Province, Region, State shall ensure freedom, including whether the secular state, established by that Constitution: therefore they should not support this or that orientation cultural, ethical, social, sexual, religious, but they must ensure that each / in the possibility of selecting their own life plan giving concrete at all / and means of realization.
equality between people and equal rights should mean equal opportunity, equal dignity and equal opportunities for all the citizens.
Our common commitment must be to hold together the civil rights and social rights to build an "inclusive society" that respects the role of women but also give concrete answers to the children, the elderly and the "new" subject of citizenship, which say in the first place immigrati, omosessuali, giovani .
Differenza: mai come adesso è chiaro che le diversità costituiscono un accrescimento per la società tutta.
Per valorizzare concretamente questa risorsa pensiamo sia necessario accettare e valorizzare le diversità, per trovare insieme punti di condivisione e consentire un confronto alla pari, ciascuno con la propria cultura, le proprie idee, la propria esperienza di vita.
EQUITÀ SOCIALE E SOSTENIBILITÀ Nella nostra vita di tutti i giorni sentiamo ormai il peso della crisi economica. I lavoratori precari sono stati i primi a subire il colpo ma l’aumento enorme della cassa integrazione, il rallentamento dell’industria, la closure of companies are spreading.
The more affected individuals have-nots: increased homelessness, the s singles who are struggling to make ends meet, elderly women and elderly who live alone with the minimum pension and the immigrant and migrant workers (with or without permission) who can not find the minimum of subsistence. The crisis is too heavy for the middle class, which is particularly high in the metropolitan area of \u200b\u200bMilan: the work and income are also being discussed for so many skilled workers, technicians and managers of high professional level. The crisis can not be paid by whom - not having the resources - would do without the indispensable, and for this we need a special plan di interventi a sostegno delle condizioni di reddito e di vita dei cittadini a maggiore rischio di impoverimento.
Ma a tutto questo si è pensato di rispondere evitando di assumere misure concrete e producendo una lacerante spaccatura nel movimento sindacale con la firma dell’accordo separato sul modello contrattuale che la CGIL ha giustamente rifiutato e attaccando direttamente il diritto di sciopero. Si è colpita frontalmente la scuola pubblica, la formazione, la ricerca, negandoci una parte di futuro mentre sciaguratamente si sperperavano almeno 6 miliardi di euro, tra l’abolizione totale dell’ICI, la detassazione degli straordinari e la follia dell’Alitalia.
Anche solo per questo il governo dovrebbe essere mandato a casa, incapace di individuare risorse a sostegno del reddito, del lavoro, del welfare, mediante, in primo luogo, una seria lotta contro l'evasione fiscale e contributiva.
Contemporaneamente, nonostante la decrescita incontrollata e infelice, le emissioni derivanti da combustibili fossili sono ancora eccessive e insostenibili. Non ci sarà futuro senza risparmio energetico, riduzione delle emissioni e utilizzo delle energie rinnovabili in ciascuna scelta amministrativa e in ciascuna iniziativa economica.
La sinistra è quella forza politica che mette al primo posto l'equità sociale insieme alla sostenibilità: se sostenere chi vive le difficoltà maggiori è un basilare fattore di solidarietà, questo sostegno è tanto più robust as solidarity is linked to concrete political general, who look to the interests and needs of the productive part of the country.
Local governments should be a point of reference against the crisis: the local authorities have been many of the center (for example, the Province of Milan with an allocation of € 25 million).
We are committed to the revitalization of social policies, education and support to people in need - children and elderly in the first place, including contributing all the necessary steps to free municipalities from the absurd restrictions of the Stability Pact.
At the same time, we propose that municipalities and provinces are committed - even the use of private resources - per un piano straordinario di manutenzione delle città, dai trasporti alla casa, dai servizi pubblici all’ambiente, perché questi investimenti producono al tempo stesso lavoro e risanamento delle condizioni concrete della vita quotidiana.
E invece continua nel Paese la disfida della paura, una spirale ove un pacchetto sicurezza prepara soltanto il successivo, se possibile, peggiore. Ove la distruzione del welfare residuo viene riempita dal diritto penale. Occorrono ed esistono strategie alternative, ove la sicurezza di ciascuno procede con quella di tutti. Un orizzonte molto distante dalle proposte di istituzione delle ronde provenienti da settori del centrosinistra.
Basterebbe guardare alla legislazione attualmente in vigore sui migranti o a those on drugs such as shining examples of ineffective and counterproductive rules.
The design of the Expo should be significantly revised in the context of changing economic conditions and policies for integrated redevelopment of the area. For this reason we say that the center is not up to the task: the strategic weakness, the weight of highly visible financial and real estate interests. Even for the Expo we introduce ourselves as a viable alternative and necessary.
TOGETHER WE BUILD THE FUTURE There is a left that is in Milan. Make one together in a way that addresses real problems and people's lives. That affirms and promotes co-existence as a value, civil rights as an essential part of citizenship. Next to a transformation that is not satisfied with "off these attacks." A left of the less sad.
who choose work as a field of its action, culture as an engine of development rights as an affirmation of civilization that is, the public ethics to secure the general, the secular state as a principle of the law governing the common life.
A mix that left the signs and seeds of most political cultures to make a different language, a curious look on things of this life and this world.
This reasoning can also be left which stage of local elections within a single project that can turn their gaze away, to the next.
In municipalities there is life every day, there are the interest and participation of citizens is the foundation of a democracy closer to them. In municipalities, the Province and resumed under democratic representation.
submit lists of the Left for municipalities over 15,000 people and for the Province of Milan to build a new left that defeat, with other forces (the signs do not scare us or alliances) a right incapable of addressing the crisis in Italian and subordinate special interests.
choices in alliances of local government, compared to which the proceedings will have on the work done in these five years by municipalities and the province most of which have had positive results that we too have contributed. It should be cohesion and sharing of government programs, programs that must be highly innovative and focused on the future, that the foundation work, equity and the extension of social rights must be the guide for the five years that will open. It also means a guarantee in terms of public ethics - choices, methods, behaviors - and innovation through the extension of democratic participation procedures for administrative decisions.
The placement of this left, the administrative project, my classmates street, are the product of a participatory process in formation of a force and motion that makes democracy and collegiality of decisions his character founding.
It invites all the citizens of Milan and the Province to participate in the
PUBLIC MEETING To be held March 14, 2009
