What teaches us the victory Pisapia Congratulations to the Companions of Milan for a victory that built the town. Milan sees prevail candidate SEL is something that few could imagine. E 'success and is something very important. Mark that politics can still win.
follow the campaign through the news I read in the newspapers, what I saw on Facebook, and, in part, through some contacts I have in Milan and "Close", I saw this result materialize slowly. And I think that this victory there is much to learn.
First: what many call "Vendola-effect" (a full house that Nichi receives wherever he goes, now) had, indeed, its weight. The initiative took place in Pisapia was supported by a number of people imaginable. And that certainly helps. In another situation was more complicated.
Another thing to consider is that the Democratic Party probably has not guessed right in the strategy. When she officially supporting Boeri, I read the various members and supporters of the Democratic Party who grudgingly. Boeri's candidacy probably split the base of the PD, please. But
Pisapia's candidacy has had its own force, which marked its success. Anyone who thinks that any candidate can be successful (and I'm seeing in some of the temptation) I think he understood very little of this victory.
First Pisapia was a job well established territory. From what I saw, did not need to "get to know." Its business, personal, professional and policy, had developed mostly in Milan. And he already had in years and years, to take an active and positive "visible" of several well-known events in the city. According
: Nothing was improvised. Pisapia ran to win, not to "plant a seed", and has built his campaign right now (having the means, political and "technical") in doing so. Then he threw the winning and how, a seed, and far better ... But it is another matter. His candidacy was not a failure, or of an alternative, "or that was intended to represent" the other center-left ". It has become a leader of the Center-Left voters saw as recognizable. And all in the campaign, has been well studied and planned.
Third: Around Pisapia has run together a nice piece of left Milan. Not only was backed by all the parties of the Left, and not only from SEL, but he was also quite a number of associations and movements. He was not alone, was able to aggregate. And it was a name that could unite and combined. SEL Milan has made the right choice in this.
Fourth (but not in order of importance): the phrase that Pisapia has put on his official presentation in view of the primaries. "I strongly believe in a Left that is capable of dialogue, and I think that today the Centre-Left is the real engine of change. "These words are not only fully consistent with SEL (and very similar to what is often said Nichi), but for those who want to be consistent with the plan of SEL, a absolute must.
O SEL is this, a Left open, which aims to aggregate, which shuns sectarianism, which considers a value (and not a compromise snaturante) to build alliances with whoever is nearby, which makes right things to win, he wants to make the center-left the engine of change, or simply is not.
This SEL is at all times when it was winning. This was a candidate, winning by Giuliano Pisapia. must SEL to ensure that this is always and everywhere (correcting the distortions present confusion where someone did), and will have a great future ahead. Also because the other thing that the show is that the primary Milan PD, for structural problems (which those who had opposed the rise was widely expected, being taken for a madman, but that may have come true even worse) is likely to leave the chasms. That someone, for the good of all, has to fill. Maybe making the center-left even more competitive. What was it like in Puglia. As I hope will be in Milan. How, then, could be in Italy.
