We, men and women who have participated in the 'Assembly of left and the ecologists, we are committed to building a new party of the left and environmentalists: unitary, plural, federal. Modern Italy, founded by the Republican Constitution, democratic and antifascist, he needs a renewed political left. The world calls for new cultural criticism and who hold the memories of the past and keep looking towards the future.
These are our principles: equality, justice, freedom, peace, dialogue of civilizations, the value of work and knowledge, the centrality of the environment, secular state, critique of patriarchal and male models.
The subject of the left and part of ecologists today. Grow through a process of popular, democratic and participatory, open to membership collective and individual, to be rooted in the history of the country. 'S ambition is to create a force not a minority, but a great force and independent, able to compete for the' hegemony, influential in the life of society and the state, which weights in the socio-political realities of the center. A person capable of countering the populist tendencies and plebiscite, children of a weak policy and the separation between power and citizens. A major player in Italy, internal movements, associated with groups and parties of the left and most of 'environmentalism in Europe.
The left and the 'rainbow is that we want to work and the' environment. The liberal globalization stood upon a double devaluation: human labor and natural resources. The reduction to a commodity causes the double breaking of social balance and environmental balance. Intolerable and unsustainable growth of inequalities climate change have a common origin and lead to the same answer: another world is possible.
Putting value in the 'Environment and Labour (in all its forms, ranging from repetitive to the most creative today) and the heart of a new thought, that does not give up hope in this world to cultivate human. In the West, this means first of all raise the quality of work, to fight against insecurity, changing lifestyles, combating discrimination against women. It involves the preservation and renewal of the welfare state, and the design of a larger reform that led to the welfare state: a non-consumerist, a 'non-dissipative and ecological economics, a more evolved technology. A new inventory of common property of mankind: water, food, health, knowledge. Knowledge must grow and be replicated: impossible, without freedom,
culture, information, science and research, and without resulting in the fight against regressions tribal, ethnic, nationalist, fundamentalist. The dialogue between cultures and civilizations, open to new records universalistic social rights and the principles of liberty, and the more essential in the 'era of the great migrations of the Web and global communications.
The left and the 'rainbow we want is peace. The spirit of war threatens humanity. Here again, the arms race: spending soared to conventional arms, chemical, biological, or nuclear. Jump signatures on treaties reduction and arms control. L 'Europe and one of the epicenters of the race. Now it's time to stop it. Peace, which has seen take the field the largest mass movement after the war, particularly during the Iraq war, is the trump card. Peace is possible in a multipolar world. The facts have already demonstrated that the world is not governed by a single command center. Even for this there 'and need a' strong and autonomous Europe.
The left and the 'rainbow we want is for individual and collective freedoms. The freedom can only grow in a secular state. This is why the secular state is a good non-negotiable. A secular state recognizes forms of life and sexual choices for all and all. Is based on respect of all systems of ideas, of all religious views of all worldviews. Fighting the 'homophobia and machismo. Assume that feminism criticism of patriarchal structures and the principle of gender democracy. Create social and institutional conditions to give effect to the rights and choices of all free and all.
The left and the 'rainbow that we see a new season of Italian democracy. Ready to take now and in the future, the responsibilities of government, or
exert its function by 'opposition. The themes to 'agenda seem
"Authority, governance, decision," you can not see the real ones are
's authority and legitimacy, a new capacity for political representation, in a dialectical relationship with the' autonomy of the social representation, from the big unions and confederations.
The left and the rainbow 'will help to renew the political system and the forms of democratic participation, will contrast the' old transformation. If c 'decline and Italian, it depends on corporatism, by the spread of privilege and inequality, the weak innovation, loss of cohesion, by the widespread lawlessness, the loss of the ability to get angry that state of absolute violence that is called Mafia, 'Ndrangheta, the Camorra, by' neglect of the moral issue. Reforming democracy and political means to nurture the values \u200b\u200bof a company project.
We, participants in the 'General Assembly of the left and the ecologists, we turn to the political forces, organized groups, movements, the people of the left, all individuals who want to participate actively in the construction of a new federal entity . In a free and open discussion on the ideas, objectives, programs, forms of organization and representation.
Come, become part of a project that can profoundly change the Italian situation and inf1uenzare European politics.
General Assembly of the left and environmentalists
Rome, 8 / 9 December 2007
