Ancora Le Monde, dopo l'annuncio del nuovo sciopero del 4 aprile, le manifestazioni spontanee e l'incognita della promulgazione o del rinvio alle camere da parte di Chirac:


En Italie, la flexibilité de l'emploi est aussi une réalité depuis la loi Treu de 1997, introduite par le gouvernement Prodi. Elle a été renforcée en 2003 sous le gouvernement Berlusconi par la loi Biagi que le centre gauche aimerait, sinon annuler, du moins "aménager" en cas de victoire aux élections législatives des 9 et 10 avril. Ce texte met à la disposition des employeurs une panoplie de contrats de travail à durée déterminée et avec une faible protection sociale. Au point que 70 % des emplois créés en 2005 l'ont été de manière précaire. Du coup, les manifestations en France contre le CPE trouvent un écho important en Italie. La précarité, notamment chez les jeunes, est devenue un thème de campagne électorale. "C'est le même mal-être qu'on retrouve chez les jeunes Italiens, a commenté Romano Prodi, jeudi 30 mars devant la presse étrangère à Rome. "En Italie comme en France, pour la première fois depuis la fin de la guerre, les jeunes ont peur d'être plus pauvres que la génération qui les a précédés", a ajouté le leader de la coalition de centre gauche, qui voudrait encourager les embauches à durée indéterminée en taxant plus fort le travail à durée déterminée.

...oppure Contratto di Possibilità di Espulsione, come dicono gli studenti francesi che si difendono dalla prospettiva di una flessibilità selvaggia?
In Francia oggi potrebbe essere la giornata decisiva e come tale viene vissuta con una certa apprensione, e con forti disagi nei trasporti.
Ecco cosa dice Le Monde:



Non c'è da essere del tutto ottimisti ma anche un gufo può sperare!
E chissà che i cugini d'oltralpe non aprano la pista anche per noi, come spesso è accaduto.

C'è un sito che vi dà la vostra posizione, le vostre coordinate politico-elettorali confrontando le vostre risposte a 25 quesiti che riguardano i programmi elettorali dei maggiori partiti con le posizioni ufficiali degli stessi partiti.
ecco dove:
http://bweb.voisietequi.it/
Si può anche navigare nel sito ed è interessante farlo; è molto simpatico e istruttivo vedere il paragone tra le posizioni dei partiti sui vari temi. Inoltre è spiegata la "metrica" per calcolare le distanze e le posizioni.
Se poi uno vuol dare una mano, è anche invitato a farlo.
Il tutto fa capo a openpolis, a questo indirizzo:

che pare sostenere la buona intenzione di migliorare i rapporti cittadino politica rendendo più chiara e trasparente quest'ultima e, dico io, aumentando affezione e partecipazione ai problemi generali.
Per chi vuole provare:



Chissà?

Il new York Times, un commento oggettivo? o gufante? forse un po' gufante.
per me non c'è dubbio che Prodi sia stato il migliore nell'incontro. Lo è anche come uomo politico e, chissà, forse anche come uomo. L'altro non ha seguito i consigli di Veronica ed è andato male...

ROME, March 14 — Many here hoped for the kind of public drama Italy loves, that something decisive might happen on this night Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and his challenger Romano Prodi finally faced each other in their first televised debate of this tight race.

Pier Paolo Cito/Associated Press
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, left, and his center-left opponent, Romano Prodi, before the start of their strictly orchestrated televised debate Tuesday. One more debate is scheduled before the April 9-10 election.

But an unwelcome bit of America came to Italy on Tuesday night, in the form of a strictly orchestrated presidential debate. Answers were limited to two-and-a-half minutes. Interruptions were not allowed — and, amazingly, no one did interrupt.

"It's clear this is not a system where you can make a speech in an efficient way," grumbled Mr. Berlusconi, who, behind in the polls, needed to make a bigger impression and seemed to strain harder at the rules.

Mr. Prodi, of course, disagreed, as he did throughout the 90-minute debate, less than a month away from the voting on April 9 and 10.

"This is a system that gives equality," he said. "It is a system that is used by the United States. It is a good system."

That the debate lacked excitement seemed especially odd given that this remains an open race, in which perhaps the least predictable leader in Europe, Mr. Berlusconi, 69, in office for five years, is fighting hard for his political survival and having a tough time of it recently.

He is several points behind in the polls, with economic growth at zero and his brash, personal style of politics far less popular now than when he took office. His center-right coalition continues to erode, prosecutors are again breathing down his neck, and he lost a skirmish with Mr. Prodi on how the debates and television air time would be divvied up.

On Sunday, when he stormed out of a television interview with a particularly persistent left-leaning reporter, his critics said he seemed to be cracking slightly under the pressure.

Compared with that performance, his debating skills on Tuesday seemed back to form. He was relaxed, communing with his usual skill with cameras, as he spilled forth figures on his accomplishments and tried to skewer his center-left opponent.

"The left holds an old ideology, with the same people that never change, that are recycled and that are inherited from an old ideology that views the state as an entity that the citizens must work for," he said in his closing remarks.

But Mr. Prodi, 66, a former prime minister and European Union commissioner, seemed unusually animated and combative, as he worked to dispel his reputation as dull and too much the professor he once was. (Mr. Berlusconi seemed to taunt him slightly by constantly referring to him as "professor.")

"You have had five years of uninterrupted government, and you talk as if you are in the opposition," Mr. Prodi said to Mr. Berlusconi, who had just reeled off a litany of failures of past leftist governments. "What have you done?"

Mr. Berlusconi, despite having admitted that he knew he needed to offer something new to invigorate his campaign, stuck largely to old themes — a fact that Renato Mannheimer, one of Italy's top pollsters, said gave the debate, only narrowly, to Mr. Prodi.

"He also was boring," Mr. Mannheimer said of Mr. Prodi. "But if you compare him to other times, he was a little bit better than in the past, and Berlusconi was the same."

A poll released Tuesday by Mr. Mannheimer showed that 64 percent of Italians had already decided whom to vote for, and both men are chasing after the 24 percent of undecideds, only about 14 percent of whom seemed likely to vote.

But Mr. Berlusconi's old arguments still resonate with many voters: that the coalition of six parties that Mr. Prodi heads is unstable and cynical; that past center-left governments spent a lot and did little; that the left is beholden to the Communists, who are part of their coalition.

"How is he going to get anything done when he will have Communists in his government?" Mr. Berlusconi asked.

Mr. Prodi hit back that Mr. Berlusconi had not lived up to his promises; had governed in a way that benefited him personally; and lacked the "seriousness" to be a suitable leader of one of Europe's leading nations.

Some Italian commentators have complained that the race, for all the serious economic problems Italy faces, has failed to come up with new ideas or new faces. Indeed, the debate on Tuesday had more than a whiff of the past in it: Mr. Berlusconi and Mr. Prodi had debated, if in a more free-wheeling form, in 1996.

Mr. Prodi went on to win the race, but his government was toppled two years later.

Mr. Mannheimer said he expected the undecided voters to make up their minds in the last days of race, making the second and last debate between the two men, on April 3, the decisive one.

"The second match will be more important," he said.

sono lieto per l'Oscar come migliore attore non protagonista assegnato a George per il film Syriana.
sono ancor più lieto per il film Syriana anche se non ha vinto altri premi. la virtù e la verità siano premio a se stesse, tanto per dire la gufata del giorno.
sul prezioso IMDB il database sul cinema più completo che abbia visto, ho trovato un commento di uno spettatore americano, condiviso da molti altri gufo compreso, che trascrivo.

I walked out of this movie feeling pretty depressed. As a historian, I always knew there have been forces at work in our society that act against the best interest of the average citizen. This film does an excellent job of illustrating just how politics and big business conspire to preserve the status quo which also protects their power and profits. The global interaction depicted in this film shows how all actions have consequences. The thirst our nation has for oil drives the kind of political and business policies that cause anger and hatred towards our nation. This oil addiction has led to an unjust war that was started on lies and disinformation. The result has been the deaths of over 2000 US servicemen and women, thousands more injured and tens of thousands Iraqi dead and wounded. This act has been the best tool Islamic terrorist groups have ever had in attracting followers and money to their cause. Those that attack this film obviously buy into the fantasy that America is involved in Iraq and the Middle East due to our sincere desire to spread "democracy." Anyone who is willing to have an open mind will find this film to be chilling for the implications of the storyline. This film is a must see for those who care about how the behavior of our government and big business impacts us in our everyday lives and how it will contribute to further terrorist attacks for decades to come. A well researched story with excellent actors for the numerous roles. I will buy this as soon as it comes out on DVD.

non è detto che si impari molto, ma forse di più che facendo la Vispa Teresa.
per lo meno si deve impegnare qualche neurone a cercare quel che non va nel costrutto dato.
e poi non tutti i gufi vengon per nuocere o portano (postano?) semplicemente sfiga.
basterebbe ascoltarli meglio: Cassandra docet.
infine un gufo deve per forza essere pessimista? un po' di speranza non fa male nè a lui nè a chi lo legge.
con un po' di tempo e di voglia vedremo cosa verrà postando e allora si potrà dare un giudizio.
