Brunetta and the earthquake: the rule is there's no state
In this blog we try to focus primarily on facts, but when a policy is made mostly of talk sometimes becomes inevitable also deal words. In these days of tragedy and disaster we've heard so much rhetoric on the efficiency of emergency assistance in Abruzzo the generous commitment of the rescuers. Almost all have woven the praise of "volunteers of Civil Defence, Civil Protection as if it were not also composed of civil servants.
But the statements that most affected were those of the Minister Brunetta. Who remarked with pride that in areas affected by the earthquake "the state is." He said just like that, "the State". Not the state. Those exist only when things go wrong. When it works well then the state is no longer composed of people. There are no more firefighters, doctors, nurses, clerical staff and ministry officials involved in relief efforts, employees of local governments. There is only the state. Then in the words of the minister becomes synonymous with "government". So, to be more explicit, according Brunetta what worked in Abruzzo was Brunetta same. No, the credit must be shared with the Secretary Bertolaso, who also is "the best head of Civil Protection in Europe".
An oversight? one who (incorrectly) calls himself "the chief of staff of 3 and a half million public servants" in front of a litmus test for the structures of government forgets to thank the people he proclaims Director. In the famous private companies often held up as examples by Brunetta not usually work that way. Any manager sooner or later makes itself and its staff. But probably it is not an oversight. The experience of this first year of government has shown that the attack on the state pays very lazy in terms of consensus, while the praise of the government worker is much less profitable. It 's a reason that we have in the past on PUBLIC DOMAIN , and that probably was also made by the minister.
POSTSCRIPT. But then we are sure that in Abruzzo there has been such efficiency? Personally, I am not able to express my views. To make a reliable assessment should have been there, having seen firsthand what is happening, and then have lived the experience of other past earthquakes in Italy, and perhaps also of other disasters that occurred abroad, in order to make the comparison with what happens in these cases in other countries. It may be that different from the end to the "machinery of relief" Abruzzo appears very well thought out, but does not listen to the many awards these days are the result of thorough and competent analysis. Certainly not enough to have seen a news service for sentencing in Abruzzo that "things have worked."
