Presentazione del Manifesto "Diamo un' anima libertaria al centro destra" promoted by the liberal reformers: Reflections of a Nobel

La sala è piccola ed è davvero gremita di gente...direi a occhio circa centocinquanta persone, che per una conferenza stampa quale voleva essere la presentazione del manifesto "Diamo un'anima libertaria al centro destra" proposto dai Riformatori Liberali , è parecchia.

Fa caldo, ma ciò non ci impedisce di rimanere ad ascoltare con partecipazione ed entusiasmo the more than two hours of interventions that are followed and whose theme is precisely to recognize that the road to get consensus in the center-right in this moment in history, through the statement, with renewed determination, the liberal and libertarian had formed the core around which they were born Forza Italy and the House of Liberty.

The new thrust in the libertarian sense seems to have given Bondi when, in his report to the Seminary of Gubbio said that in the last election the House of Freedom has not lost for about 24 000 votes to scrap with the Olive Tree, but for almost 2 million of those lost by Forza Italy, which are probably the votes of liberals and libertarians, who after five years of center-right government which is certainly not distinguished itself in the application of these ideas, they felt "betrayed" by the CDL. Benedetto Della Vedova, Marco Taradash and nearly everyone involved, seem to interpret the declaration of Bondi as a strong signal of new openness to liberal ideas in recent years, according to the participants in the debate, have not even found space for an open confrontation .

Healthy injection of anti-statism and liberalism involves the entire room and leads to develop a strong determination to try to make the most of what looks like a good opportunity to create a truly plural CDL, in which there is a place for soul evidently wrongly forgotten.

few hours after the conclusion of the press conference, however, blurred the enthusiasm of the moment, I asked about the effectiveness, in terms of politics, of this initiative. While hoping that the poster can be really new launching pad for greater spread of liberal ideas, liberal libertarian, I must say that I do not see any change of scenery in the "bargaining power" that the liberal reformers have against the CDL, such as to determine the success this time of the project. And this fact has left me with a streak of pessimism.

I also received, during Saturday's debate, a strong imbalance toward the freedom of an ethical than economic terms, starting from the fact that those who are anti-statism in the economy can not be, for consistency with regard to the ethical choices of individuals. I personally feel that liberals insist on ideas for how to configure your situation right now, unbalanced positions on almost confessional, not the most effective way to be able to get it: It would be first necessary to find common ground in terms of liberalism and 'anti-statism economic, certainly better shared (at least in theory because in practice the CDL has already proved itself to bramare dal desiderio di ridurre il peso dello stato), cavalcando l’onda di malcontento provocato da questa finanziaria.

E non perché le libertà individuali sul piano etico non siano importanti, anzi, ma perché, a mio parere, la strada per raggiungerle sarebbe sicuramente spianata dall’introduzione delle libertà individuali sul piano economico date da uno stato leggero almeno in quest ambito; la diffusione dell’“abitudine” alle libertà che verrebbe a crearsi potrebbe infatti, con molta probabilità, avere come conseguenza un terreno molto più fertile per far attecchire l’accettazione delle libertà sul piano etico in un secondo momento.

In ogni caso però, whatever the political strategy of the liberal reformers, to achieve the aim of sharing even operational liberalism, liberalism and dell'anitistatalismo would have required as much visibility you could get. And what better occasion of the participation by Della Vedova at the table of the willing to show organized by Capezzone also screaming that they are right to try to ensure the liberal and libertarian ideas? The media space from this initiative would undoubtedly have facilitated the demonstration, with the facts, that there really is a core libertarian right in the center and that the Reformers could be the reference point.
certainly would not be easy, certainly not was told they would receive a vision that they can really become this reference point, but I have no doubt that at least would get a bit 'more publicity and therefore also more likely successful in this initiative.

Unfortunately for some reason this route was not followed: perhaps to avoid undermining relations with the radical left, perhaps for lack of courage or their lack of political strategy ... and the mood of pessimism has made stronger by the feeling that the real opportunity to attract the attention of the liberal right has been lost.
