( ASCA) - Roma, 18 August 2010 - It 's not the head of state to betray the Constitution but who exchanges their hopes and their''political guidance''with constitutional rules, confusing the current text with that''failed in the constitutional referendum of 2006''to intervene in the controversy between the neck and the majority and 'the Catholic constitutional lawyer Renato Balduzzi, former right hand man Rosi Bindi the Ministry of the Family during the Prodi government and extensor in that capacity, the bill I say never agreed on. Balduzzi, president from 2002 to 2009 of Meic, the movement of the intellectuals of Catholic Action, was interviewed in the magazine''Consciousness''.
''President Napolitano - he says - has done nothing to remember at all, and that Italy 'a parliamentary republic, that is where' and 'task of the Head of State whether there is a majority in parliament capable of support the government. Cheating the Constitution and attentive to those who confuse it with the text in the failed constitutional referendum in 2006. What is' that included the exit from the parliamentary form of government called and gave the Premier the power to send home all alone.
But the Italians, despite the contrariety 'of the center-right and the warm support of the center-left, confirmed the confidence of the Charter: the company was' calendar year, the grassroots groups, associations to spread' save 'the Constitution.'' For
Balduzzi, in the current political debate, even by some constitutional experts,'' exchange their wishes and their own policy directions with the constitutional requirements. The so-called material constitution and nothing else 'that the political-cultural consensus around the formal constitution. There is no 'in Italy tension between the one and the other, has just confirmed the referendum of 2006''.
''With regard to sovereignty 'popular - he adds - it is exercised in the manner and within the limits of the Constitution, as stated clearly art. 1: between the forms and limits, there are of course the head of state and other institutions of guarantee.''
to constitutionalism, and the Charter 'in discussion''already'''''for many years, not only in words'':''He and 'began to violate it without his top defenders, the public- voters, they had awareness. Exactly twenty years ago, some ministers (including Defence, Mino Martinazzoli) resigned from the government to which they belonged 'cause against the government for approval to the support of so-called parliamentary law Mammi', which, contrary to the principles of the Constitution and judgments of the Court Constitutional allowed the excessive power to a private television, the risk of irreversibly affect the functioning of representative democracy. It all started from there ', from this wound that makes our country a constitutional exception to the negative relationship between contemporary democracies.''
''Those to whom we are witnessing - concludes Balduzzi - are aspects of a more 'general reversal of reality' and appearance of truth 'and lies, just between thieves and caramba. Favoured by the manipulations television, that 'makes it difficult to form a truly free and democratic public opinion. If to this' add an electoral law deeply biased in favor of the media and political apparatus, the circle closes dangerously negative.''
