municipalities with limited sovereignty Sounds weird to talk about limited sovereignty of Commons, at least in our region. In Lombardy, refrain of subsidiarity was instilled so heavily in the minds of all, through years and years of propaganda, one of the most popular trivia is the one who wants the municipalities the main architects of their own destinies.
We come from more than a decade and statements to that effect, from the classic "masters in our house", played in all types of sauces ("home" is a word that lends itself to many uses), in recognition constitutional City Council as an institution territorial key (which is immediately after ' approval of constitutional law No 3 / 2001, gave "the" odd initiatives by municipal administrations that s' invented the statutes for which little was missing from that moment on, according to them, they would also occupied by foreign policy. Initiatives, of course, and rightly so, slaughtered by the administrative courts ).
urbanism, in Lombardy, was and is a further test of the nouvelle vague political institutional . With the Regional Law for the territorial government, the No 12, 2005, in fact, municipalities are now the only authors of their choices.
E 'subsidiarity the beauty! Maybe.
In fact, the principle of subsidiarity in itself meaningful, it should be accompanied to the adequacy of: Choose well independently, but know that those choices which, by their nature, impact upon others (importance, impact or whatever), the need to share with others, which are responsible, at least, decide on your behalf. The theory, however, as written in the law, was immediately overcome by the practice, in the sense that the adequacy, simply is not gone from the scene, there's simply never entered the scene.
maximum possible autonomy to the municipalities, fewer and less incisive possibility of intervention to provinces, total disinterest by Region (good only to write courtly addresses guidelines which is quick to forget after have written them), and that's it.
Message past, about : "Dear Common, you do what you like, I (Region) no body, in return you do not bother me on those few things that interest me (EXPO, airports, foundations, trade shows)" . Post harvest promptly. A
trading this also, no doubt. In other parts of Italy is called in other ways, with no positive meaning.
The devil, however, as you know, you forget to do the lids to the pots these days because, in addition to capacity, it lacks the money. Thus, the "good" result of the loss-making regional planning policy is that most of the municipalities is happily fucking the territory (which does not belong to government in office from time to time, would do well to remember from time to time), passing off speculation low cabotage " redevelopment" or " valuations," or better yet, "development" magic word borrowed from English " development " (which in the Anglo-Saxon world is used in connection of real estate, with a precise meaning: new achievements building, but we have been translated into a more persuasive, development in the broad sense).
All this has almost always very specific reasons, to balance the municipal budget transfers massacred by increasingly small, with ever higher costs, wasted by patronage. Sometimes the reasons are less noble, and coincide with personal interests, once met through appropriate bundles, today through more consistent and elegant forms of embezzlement , from advice to fake phony assignments to friends and / or nominee compliant.
is then that the vaunted "sovereignty" of Commons, the evidence shows held under broom to budgetary constraints, six independent and sovereign, that is, free to sell (selling out ) silverware.
Then there is another form of cancellation of formal sovereignty. regards small and tiny margins of common tourist attraction. If you embrace the wrong policies are delivered with your hands tied to the tourists and become unable to choose their own destiny, in fact delegating ( unconsciously) the choices to those who use their land and their goods, without giving null 'in other change outside of a donation in the form of ICI.
disposable Territories, colonies, nothing more. The tourist wants to (do you want to understand) and the City is running. As long as the toy is not like most, the tourist-willful child hits the pins, leaves, threatening never to return, and then the Common-slave (other than king!) arrabatta you to renew the toy to do it bigger, a add a gadget, so the cycle can begin again , next to the boredom.
boredom-enthusiasm cycles are quite long, measured in terms of decades, and often suffer external influences, the Alpine ski resorts have experienced several times, just a series of victories or defeats of the National slopes to a "pull" more or less passion for the sport, then you put the competition other forms of leisure tourism, perhaps from abroad, then the economic crises, trends, factors other words "exogenous" and local governance.
Piazzatorre is a perfect paradigm of all, who does not mind as he admits to himself that to others. The operation "former colonies" is the gadget to give our tourists-why naughty children do not leave. A gadget expensive, very expensive to produce which we turned to those who have particular interests that the toy longer than the minimum (the time to sell the gadget, in fact). Now you uncork champagne and sparkling wine to celebrate the 'unification the ski areas. But all the booze eventually pass, and when the session will be sober, you will find an account to be paid and a toy used for the umpteenth time, perhaps, for the last time.
