publish the articles contained in ' insert dedicated to Bologna, appeared in the 102-103 of "The Stranger" and curated by Plan B.
On the wall of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of Bologna with an unknown red spray wrote "Edward one of us." And we want to believe.
Edward is the son, born a year ago by the union of Sergio Cofferati Rocca and Raffaele.
The author of the inscription, presumably a student dissatisfied cofferatiano approach to city government, refers to the reason for not applying to former union leader's second term as mayor. Cofferati has announced publicly to renounce the race at the Palazzo d'Accursio performed best for the role of father.
We believe this reasoning, but we are not reassured. To give up running for eight months after the vote (it will vote in April 2009), having opposite intentions and touted the grounds that this is the culmination of a political history based on the whole person rather than on policy. Where is the sense of responsibility to the citizens? We could easily ask the (now former) mayor of Bologna, continuing to make the game that he believes his words.
Una concezione privatistica della politica non poteva che condurre a questo epilogo, verrebbe anche da dire.
La rinuncia di Cofferati lascia il suo partito in un grave imbarazzo, in uno scenario politico cittadino in cui neanche la destra offre candidati presentabili. Il cinese più che mollare si è fatto esplodere, lasciando macerie politiche e soprattutto molte scorie tossiche nel tessuto sociale bolognese.
L'ex leader della CGIL è stato prima di tutto un sindaco mediatico, ha fatto parlare di him more for his attitude as for his actions. Fan Tex Willer, the mayor was sheriff, a champion of law at the cost of eviction orders and anti-camp.
For months, the national news has dealt him. Although in practice, in nearby Florence, the mayor becomes the protagonist of Dominici businesses far more extreme on the security-first plan.
But the law has not only spoken in the living rooms TV, but also in the neighborhood bar, in the dozens of social centers for the elderly on buses, in the famous small crowds of onlookers in Piazza Maggiore.
And while Bologna, Italy and perhaps all, was divided between cofferatiani and anti cofferatiani and this debate was becoming increasingly "virtual", the fate of the city they were playing in other theaters of war with other players and far more numerous.
The following articles Cofferati is a background picture. Always present, of course, but second lead actor in a scenario much more complex. A scenario in which the city is undergoing important changes that are slowly but surely cambiando il volto. In cui le scelte dell'amministrazione comunale sono solo alcune delle variabili che incidono sul cambiamento. In cui la partecipazione a questi cambiamenti da parte dei cittadini continua a vivere più negli ideologici slogan degli amministratori che nella realtà.
Crediamo che questo guardare dietro al fenomeno mediatico sia un sforzo necessario per provare a raccontare e capire cosa sia oggi Bologna e cosa si avvia a diventare dopo e nonostante Cofferati.
Intanto il sindaco leave the city worse than probably continue to vote for the center (left), but who grows increasingly distrust and intolerance. Few regret, has not done much to be loved (one example: while Berson, Alleanza Nazionale, waved the flag of bare-chested, red-blue after the promotion of Bologna in Serie A, the mayor was out of town). "I do not know what the Bolognese" - the main criticism that is moved from the bottom. Probably no one knows what this Bolognese, but you prefer to get on to Bologna glasses that change color throughout the provincialism Po and do not distinguish different color than the red brick.
