Italy is
about to have another prime minister who will not be voted by the
Italian citizens. The Enrico Letta resignation after the motion of no
confidence inside the Democratic Party, has made many people to
remember the conditions of the bloodless economic "Coup d'état"
that brought Mario Monti to power.
The Italian
General Industry Federation (IGIF) appears to play a key role this
time, as the leadership of the organization met with the general
secretary of the party, Matteo Renzi, only a few days before Letta's
"overthrow". What the Federation (the famous Confindustria)
wants this time, is not just austerity policies imposed by Monti, but
the radical change of the labor legislation in favor of the
country's biggest businesses.
Renzi's
debut in the political arena with specific proposals, satisfies the
most crazy dreams of IGIF, as these proposals contain, substantially,
the abolition of elementary labor rights, for workers who have not
completed three years of work in a company.
For one more
time, Italy shows the way for methods of government change that lie
on the democratic limits or beyond them, and unfortunately, many
other Mediterranean countries tend to follow them.
