With the filing of judgments of the Constitutional Court, the referendum for water are at the starting blocks. Two questions on which allowed the Italian people will be called to vote and that together paint a radical reversal of policies of privatization of the water flow on without interruption during the last fifteen years. By repealing the Ronchi Decree is as good as the standard reference European doctrine, which always allows the public management of water services, and by repealing the return on invested capital, or profits on the water, public management will become the only possible one. A great battle of civilizations is therefore open to women and men of this country: to regain a common good is essential to life, manage it in the form of participation, be preserved for future generations. And write a new page of democracy, so necessary to people, debased by the strong economic and political powers. The referendum campaign party relying on what has always been the wealth of the movement for water: the bottom-up participation, networked, distributed, shared.
From now and for all the months of February and March, will launch the new challenge of moving water: participatory self-financing. All women and men of this country, from the 1.4 million who signed petitions for referenda, will sign a large or small share to finance the campaign, having the assurance that, if reached quorum and voting resulting refund, the amount paid will be fully returned to the people: because we want to change society, not build a party or a new bureaucracy.
At the same time, will start training participatory be arranged in a kit with all the tools and information needed, meetings will be promoted to more decentralized level possible, to increase the trainers in all areas and build a great process of collective self-education. As already gearing up to build a new and great national demonstration in Rome, Saturday, March 26 and will become the launch date of the final stage of this extraordinary experience, that che porterà al voto nella prossima primavera, in una data ancora da definire fra il 15 aprile e il 15 giugno.
Sarà la manifestazione nazionale del popolo dell’acqua, ma verrà costruita assieme a tutti i movimenti per i beni comuni, alle reti studentesche e universitarie, al mondo del lavoro: un luogo di tutte e di tutti quelli che sanno che c’è un’altra uscita dalla crisi, basata sui beni comuni e la democrazia, e non sulla compressione dei diritti e la messa sul mercato dell’intera vita delle persone. La battaglia per l’acqua, nata nei territori, è riuscita nel tempo a divenire maggioranza culturale nel paese e ad irrompere nell’agenda politica. Oggi diventa concreta la possibilità to win and reverse course. Each must do its part, the feet and heart in this in the future.
