Tonight Italy, Fausto Bertinotti: “Politics is dead and the left has disappeared”

Also comes Fausto Bertinotti’s comment about the elections that have just declared the total failure of the left. During the episode of Stasera Italia, the talk show of Rete 4, the former secretary of the Communist Refoundation is very harsh in analyzing the current scenario.

“Politics is dead – Bertinotti’s attacks – in fact it has been said for some time that politics disappeared in Italy. So, as there are riots that are happening, appearances end up confusing and denying reality. it was perhaps the worst post-war period.” campaign, no strong proposal emerged in the entire debate, in a situation in which we live the tragedy of war as if it were natural and the economic and social crisis as if there were no alternatives. Now we have an ecological crisis of tragic proportions and we basically continue to talk in the same language as before”.

Then try to explain why the left has turned away from the people. “A major protagonist of these elections was abstention. We are facing a serious weakness of democracy. Then a phenomenon occurred in the working class that is not new, but has existed for decades. First it was the League, then the Five Stars and today it is Meloni. What determined this “fullness”? The emptiness of the left, which literally disappeared. Locked in certain privileged circles of the country, to become the party of the wealthy classes and the government party par excellence. in protest, people vote against the left in the working class”.

Finally, the inevitable judgment on the political formation of Giorgia Meloni. “The Italian post-war period is over, the one that opened an anti-fascist cycle. For the first time, the next prime minister belongs to a political formation heir to a subject that did not participate in this construction. A new cycle that we could call “a-fascist “, with the “a” right “.
