The Italian elections 2008 contrary to the Constitution and international law

The Italian Constitution to the article 51 dice “All citizens of one or the opposite sex can access public offices and elective offices in conditions of equality, according to the requirements established by law "

By "requirements established by the" law we intend to have age and legal rights to be candidates, not the fact of having already been elected in the past or being a child or recommended of some politicians.

Instead it assumed this meaning, Because those who apply with a party already in Parliament do not have to collect signatures for the candidacy (popular subscription you from the candidate persons ) while they have to collect many signatures and so burdensome that every candidate with no party in parliament .

To the candidates of parties already present in Parliament, and also to those never elected but have some parliamentarian (almost all parties that contribute today have never presented before!), It does not require more than the party's nomination (as in the arrangements) and some form of firmetta.

The nobility of Casta in Parliament has been an exempted car from the signature collection, both the individual candidates, that the parties in parliament

I don't know if it has been an effect of the complaints I made over the years 1996-2000 when they were systematically falsified signatures, but perhaps you remember better the next case Mussolini, his signature of the dead gas station.

Well, have exempted, but the candidates of parties not in parliament requires a disproportionate collection of signatures, which is subject to the validation of personnel normally of other parties (!) or municipal staff, notaries and other paid.

During the last European elections, the collection of signatures was so heavy as to decim the democratic representation in favor of the current regime. But let's stop calling Casta.

Now not a caste has been formed, But a parliamentary nobility that in fact does not run with the same laws as other citizens and is not subjected to the normal battle. You can also call it a dictatorship, maybe "soft" to be kind.

This system out of the democratic form, because if it is true that "All citizens have the right to associate freely in parties to contribute with a democratic method to determine national politics. " (art. 49 Cost.) E’ also true that some parties do not concur with the same method, that it is fast-tracked and protected out of the democratic system.

This situation is also contrary to international laws. The Italian Constitution says that “the Republic recognizes and guarantees the inviolable rights of man, both as a single and in social formations where his personality takes place [etc]” (art. 2) But unfortunately the doctrine is all in agreement that among these "inviolable rights of man" the "universal declaration of human rights" does not explicitly fall "which also reiterates the concepts above.

This fact would be laughable if it were not worse. In fact there are too many international laws that reaffirm, they strengthen and make the "inviolable rights of man" more powerful, they also denied. Italy has signed its commitment to respect these international laws, sometimes it has also incurred, E, obliged by the Constitution, He has ratified and published in the Official Journal, as state laws that must be respected.

for example, A ratified law is the "International Pact on civil and political rights" which in Italy is published as law n.881 of 1977 :It guarantees a series of rights that are often more detailed of the Constitution.

on election, also the article 25 of the Ln.881 1977 provides for the right to compete in the elections in the same conditions, or better, without discrimination. Among others, the citizens' right to choose their representatives freely "sanctions.". at genuine elections, periodic, carried out by universal and equal suffrage, and secret vote, which ensure the free expression of
will of the voters ".

E’ completely evident that the representatives are not freely chosen when the parties decide the candidates without the possibility of determining the people, What he was going through the collection of signatures.

But the most serious violation is to the right to participate without unreasonable restrictions, mentioned in the article 2 , that is, in the same condition.

All member countries of the European Union are already obliged ( on paper) to comply with these rules, And today they have become "European" constitutional rank with the Lisbon Treaty.

And instead we discover that in Italy that of human rights is a fiction. In the effects, the elections wins the most powerful band as in Kabul.

In Italian elections are una race where one person runs on foot and the other by car. for example, It seems correct to you that those who own TV and newspaper cooperatives can do all the advertising that wants to themselves by excluding the other movements ? Or may not advertise other movements. Or will encourage its newscasts to speak only or primarily of the news concerning him without contradiction ?

Bertinotti and others now complain because they have partially left the caste and no longer enjoy their favors as before. It would be time for them to take off just that when in that system there were completely and with it they self -elected, They have never said or done anything to ensure the effective participation of workers in political life. And only for the armchair now speak.

For years the parties falsified signatures that were gathered and then a sneaky to heal. But the lighter of the element with fraud is valid? E’ valid the constitution of the coup ?

Now they have decided to leave straight out of the door every every contender, by running lame and burdened by collecting signatures anyone else.

And the "president" what he does ? He holds the bag as always.

If anyone still thinks that this situation can heal, tell me how.
