Nichi
When will the TV, people do not change the channel. There must be some who say "The Berlusconi of the left." Nicola Vendola, gay and communist politician now emerging as the true enemy of the status quo Italian history is also a fighter for the rights of the community and an advocate for life outside the closet.

Rome - In 1963, Pier Paolo Pasolini filmed love elections, an essay in film, a documentary survey would reveal Italians ideas about eroticism and love. A few days ago that the "election of love return to the field of Italian politics as a key idea of \u200b\u200ba political campaign. Young writers read stories inspired by five words (Value, Care, Freedom, Commitment and Fantasy) that characterize the political style of Nicola "Nichi" Vendola, 52, Apulia region governor and leader of the Left and Freedom. Nichi is a Communist, Catholic and well out of the closet homosexual. "I do not want to die without living the experience of parenthood," said some months ago. Almost a bomb in the shadow of the Vatican.
been 25 years since when La Repubblica characterized it as "gay FGCI (Federation of Young Italian Communists). Nichi was the first gay on the PCI leadership, the party expelled in 1948 Pasolini. Old and great is his love for Pier Paolo. When a young man selling books to pay for studies in literature, chose to graduate with a thesis on it. In many interviews unfolds his thesis that "Pasolini's homosexuality was heavily influenced by Catholicism, was seen as a Christ of diversity: a condition voted to martyrdom, the sense of guilt. That is why his literature is a premonition of his death. " Vendola never hid his homosexuality and he likes to emphasize that declare "is flesh, fatigue, blood, pain, isolation, stalking, violence. I've always been Catholic and communist, and my family. It was probably easier to declare my homosexuality to the priests who the party. " Today, after a long and successful activity as a deputy under the symbol of sickle and hammer, Nichi, promoter of the League against AIDS and also the Arcigay first steps (the asoción who works for the rights of gays and lesbians and receiving a stick in the column below) gives the impression that no one stops him. Despite stiff opposition Democratic Party, and has twice won the local elections in Apulia, the same land of Aldo Moro, also often quoted in his speeches, and in recent years has built a true consensus on a region of South has always been conservative and ultra-Catholic. It is a good manager that combines concrete and desire to change the world. People are still with passion and hope. Young people held hostage intellectual unemployment and casual labor, they want it. The elderly, orphans of political leaders worthy of the name, return to dream with him. His long march to realize his dream has a clear goal: to be the prime minister of the Italian Republic shabby.
at this point is already a media that transcends the borders of Italy to your face with its olive and silver earring. She enjoys with the mixture between the words of the poet and the rosary always to come out of his bolsillo.Hasta The Financial Times believes the true enemy of the current Italian prime minister. It is not hard to imagine his charisma on the ruins of the Italian left, but the guy is clearly a political race. Above all is the last leader still does not sleep in the cemetery of the living icons of the Italian left, which never dies and always loses. Nichi, a man of good reads, quoted Gogol to stigmatize his old comrades of the PCI, calling them "dead souls." Some political observers trivialize their growth and are already calling "the Italian Blair" or "the white Obama." Nichi is not broken, either standing with one foot in the twentieth century and prepared to put both in the XXI century. Its language is clear. Who observed more closely, in fact, realize that it might be the best political incarnation of the two Italian popular culture, Marxism and Catholicism. The not so tell us something far more true. The Berlusconi government is in a critical phase. Very probably Italy, in early 2011, national elections will for the third time in five years. The Democratic Party, the largest opposition party, appears unable to embody a genuine response to the many unresolved issues (unemployment, poverty, gangs, war, immigration, public schools, etc.). Its internal contradictions will not let you speak with a clear, firm voice. Nichi, however, get it and not alone. The center convened primaries to elect its candidate for prime minister. Nichi kicks. Have to be careful, but you can get lucky. In a country of corrupt and corrupting of mobsters and Masons as Italy, the pitfalls are many. Italian history speaks clearly about this. When a political subject engine is a change of history in a progressive sense, the reactionary forces on the body are released. Today, for now, hope is in him.
