“A civic, polite project, which has embraced the thematic contents of the movement from the beginning and which has shared MI’s modus operandi, that is, to avoid a policy of attacking the person, of sterile criticism, of demonizing the adversary, of shouting from the streets, to concentrate, instead, on building from below, on relaunching a healthy way of doing politics, which goes beyond ideologies and which makes dialogue and dialectics its glue, to create a project for the benefit of all, representing the entire community, regardless of political color or electoral support. Avellino was an important test, also in consideration of the victory of reason and of guarantees over the far-reaching legalism, which until now, for many, for too many, has represented the primary instrument of denigration, as well as a facade banner”. Thus Meritocrazia Italia in a note
“It was fundamental to overcome the barrier of preconception and ‘conviction without trial’, starting again from our strong constitutional values, which recall the principle of non-guilt and personal guarantees, increasingly trampled upon or subverted to win consensus battles, leveraging the “belly” of the country – underlines Meritocracy Italia – There is a clear difference between justice and justicialism, between condemnation and chatter, between reality and instrumentality”, underlines Meritocracy Italia. “Right and left are abstract and changeable concepts that do not automatically identify a specific political platform or specific values, but which increasingly constitute factors of real ideological opposition, which easily yield to subjective interpretations for one’s own use and consumption”.
“And so, in this context of disorientation, the importance of “civism” appears increasingly fundamental as a starting from the bottom of politics and participation in public life. Gaber sang what the right is and what the left is, but also what freedom it is participation and this is precisely the true silent revolution that changes the approach and collective feeling. Congratulations and best wishes to the mayor of Avellino, first citizen of MI – concludes the note – A sign that things are changing and that the alternative exists. ‘it is and starts from Us, from our contribution, from the support of that enormous potential called active citizenship.
