Curioso mondo questo, si può essere seguaci di un criminale sanguinario quale Lev Trotzkj ed essere ricevuto nei salotti, si può avere una fedina penale lunga un kilometro ed essere considerato più attendibile di un poliziotto ma se si toccano i miti dell’€uropa e della società multirazziale il linciaggio è di rigore.
Si viene sepolti sotto veementi, ottuse, fanatiche tonnellate di banalità, di frasi fatte, di tautologie della mutua, di teoremi insostenibili e di sillogismi sgangherati.
Razzista-xenofobo riempie oggi la bocca dei poveri di spirito come trent’anni fa fascista.
Bollavano come fascista chi pensava che i pazzi non dovessero essere abbandonati a se stessi (o scaricati solo sui parenti), la proprietà privata fosse un valore, in Cambogia stesse accadendo qualcosa di spiacevole e la Bulgaria non fosse Governata da gentleman.
Poi gli cadde in testa il muro Berlino e quando rinvennero dal trauma si ritrovarono visceralmente antirazzisti e spasmodicamente xenofili.
Gli stessi gonzi che predicavano l’ineludibilità della società senza classi, si spazzolarono i calcinacci di dosso e cominciarono a vaticinare le magnifiche sorti e progressive di quella multietnica-multirazziale-multiculturale.
Le parole d’ordine sono campiate, pochezza intellettuale e fanatismo isterico no.
Così mentre tutto il settarismo disponibile nel continente si scaricava su Le Pen ad un animalista non rimase che scaricare la propria pistola su Pym Fortuyn.
Un gesto del tutto logico, coerente e conseguente alla campagna di disumanizzazione in perfetto stile trotzkista scatenata da tutti i media.
Propaganda che non ha faticato troppo a convincere uno dei tanti eco-invasati, ultima degenerazione di una sinistra allo sbando.
Superficialità, luoghi comuni, millenarismo, cannabis e subculture assortite ben macerati in anni di fallimenti ecco gl’ingredienti della magica pozione che trasforma un balordo in un no-global, un ecopacifista e simil fango con la benedizione di legioni d’assessori alla cultura e «preti di strada».
Di questo cocktail micidiale s’è imbevuto l’attentatore, per carità affermarlo è ancora un eresia, nei favolosi primi anni ’70 si diceva «le BR non esistono, sono solo provocatori fascisti» così oggi l’ecoterrorismo esiste solo nella fantasia malata d’un romanziere reazionario come Tom Clancy (ed in qualche centinaio d’informative di svariati servizi segreti).
Incendi, assalti, devastazioni sono semplici intemperanze giovanili che una magistratura un po’ strabica sommerge d’attenuanti «visti gli alti valori civili e sociali» e d’altra parte perché meravigliarsi se anche a destra si risponde «hanno ragione ma non si fa così» quasi si trattasse d’una questione di galateo.
Né basta il morto a smuovere la situazione perché, come detto, era un non umano, non un indio né un sindacalista men che meno un fedayin che risorge dalla barella, ma solo il leader d’un partito inviso a Provola e a Liviuccia Turco, uno cui don Vitaliano negherebbe i sacramenti, uno le cui foto steso sul selciato, senza nemmeno la pietà di un velo, sono finite su quasi tutti i giornali, uno di cui si può tranquillamente mandare in onda l’agonia come in un qualsiasi telefilm americano.
Uno insomma che sell’è cercata e meritata come ha scritto l’Unità definendolo «vittima dell’odio da lui stesso scatenato» cioè: se fai arrabbiare la sinistra e ti becchi 6 pallottole in corpo, la colpa è tua che hai scosso quei deboli nervi.
Quanto poi alle idee ed al partito della vittima solo cenni vaghi e confusi da cui però si possono cogliere dati interessanti.
Olanda vivibile non ha alcun contatto con i rottami ideologici della seconda guerra mondiale, niente collaborazionisti in pensione né SS a riposo, niente sangue e suolo né protezionismo rivestito di no-global.
I Paesi Bassi sono una nazione borghese, la prima nazione borghese della storia, cui le virtù appunto borghesi e protestanti diedero la forza d’affrontare e piegare grandi imperi.
Furono la fucina del mondo moderno, vi si costituì la prima multinazionale, la leggendaria Compagnia della Indie Orientali (di cui quest’anno ricorre il quattrocentesimo della fondazione) ed anche oggi con Phillips e Shell non se la cavano male.
Sono stati una grande potenza che si è spenta serenamente senza traumi, sconfitte invendicate né sogni di revanche.
È una società modellata sull’individualismo dove ben poco possono attecchire ideologie statolatriche o collettiviste e, per diverse ragioni, nemmeno l’arabofilia d’un Andreotti o d’un Haider.
Pym Fortuyn. sosteneva le ragioni ovvie del banale buon senso borghese: l’immigrato mussulmano non mette in percolo la purezza del sangue e del suolo ma lo stile di vita ed il benessere che l’Occidente ha faticosamente costruito negli ultimi 4 secoli.
La sua avversione all’islam che alcuni ex laici di sinistra, più intolleranti d’un mullah coll’ulcera, vorrebbero oggi penalmente perseguibile, era vicina a quella espressa con veemenza da Oriana Fallacci ed agli antipodi di quei gruppi neonazi italiani e tedeschi che non disdegnano di sfilare sotto le bandiere di arafat.
Pym diceva in modo brillante quanto tutti pensano: l’immigrato fugge la miseria, una miseria che nasce da “culture” e concezioni della vita del tutto disadatte ad affrontare le sfide della modernità.
Se il migrante sfugge a tutto ciò e poi si ricrea lo stesso habitat, le stesse strutture sociali, chi glel’ha fatto fare d’affrontare i costi ed i rischi d’un viaggio? E noi possiamo tollerare questi bubboni di XVII secolo nelle nostre città? Possiamo tollerare vi siano quartieri che somiglino alla Milano dei Promessi Sposi con piccoli Don Rodrigo e torme di bravi schipetari o magerbini?
Altro che ricchezza delle diverse culture, certo nessuno nega che vi siano culture di spessore paragonabile alla nostra ma tutto ciò ha ben poco a che vedere con i disperati che sbarcano dai gommoni, a scanso della rituale accusa di razzismo-xenofobia parliamo degli analfabeti che sbarcavano dai piroscafi a New York.
Chi può affermare senza timore del ridicolo che questi portassero nella valigia di cartone la civiltà di Dante, Leonardo o Raffaello? Tutt’al più canticchiavano qualche aria di Verdi.
Erano dei disperati e tali rimasero finché vissero nelle Little Italy riproducendo il modello perdente da cui erano fuggiti e, con la notevole eccezione di qualche boss di successo, nessuno fece fortuna finché non abbracciò modi, valori e mentalità della cultura WASP.
Oggi ci sono certo generali dei marines con cognomi che suonano italiani ma somigliano più a John Wayne che al colonnello Buttiglione.
I palazzi del potere negli Stati Uniti sono costruiti in stile Palladiano ma non per l’«apporto culturale» degli immigrati veneti bensì perché qualche anglosassone DOC studiò ad Harvard o Yale un buon trattato d’architettura.
Le filosofie orientale e l’esoterismo che tento hanno influenzato la cultura del XIX secolo ce li hanno portati colonnelli a riposo dell’Indian Army non camerieri cingalesi.
La cultura viaggia sui libri non nelle valige di cartone e sovente ha un biglietto di prima.
La correttezza politica, la nuova inquisizione, ci voleva convincere del contrario, un uomo libero ch’ha riso sopra, il fedele fanatico l’ha ammazzato.
Benvenuti nel ‘600 prossimo venturo, sono aperte le prenotazioni per un posto sul Mayflower.

===========================
Positions of Lijst Pim Fortuyn
Businesslike but with a heart
At the start of 2002, the politico-social landscape in the Netherlands is dominated by a socio-economic decline, partly as a result of the worldwide economic downturn following the terrorist acts of 11 September 2001, but partly also due to rising collective financial burdens and inflation. The international safety situation is unstable. Europe is a bureaucracy which barely interests its citizens, let alone inspires them. After almost eight years of the Purple Coalition, prosperity in the Netherlands has increased, partly thanks to improved economic circumstances, but this is overshadowed by increasing crime levels and huge shortfalls in education and healthcare. The Purple Coalition's policy of toleration has encouraged a divide in the country, as a result of which large groups of ethnic minorities do not participate actively in society. The Netherlands is not an immigration country. The annual stream of tens of thousands of newcomers, who largely end up as illegal aliens, must stop. Only then can the integration and emancipation of minorities succeed. The LPF wants to work hard to achieve this, but it demands the full efforts of the minorities, because it is worth the effort to be a Dutch citizen.
Among other things, the Purple Coalition has saddled the Netherlands with:
- a complacent political culture which is totally set in its ways, with appointed dictators completely lacking in creativity or an ability to learn.
- a highly disappointing healthcare system, with its waiting lists resulting in unnecessary deaths;
- an education system which is lagging behind, with classes full of pupils being sent home;
- high inflation, at the expense of the financially less well-off and of our export position;
- high crime levels, as a result of which citizens do not feel safe, either on the street or at home;
- one million people claiming disability benefit, an irresponsible number for future generations;
- inadequate protection of citizen's interests as a result of the policy of toleration;
- large-scale problems in the area of mobility;
- immigration levels getting out of hand in an overpopulated country;
- a serious divide in the population, part of which is suffering social and cultural deprivation, particularly in the large cities;
- the failure of the 'polder model', with insufficient protection of the purchasing power of the citizen and insufficient guarantees of the level of democracy in society.
Lijst Pim Fortuyn (LPF) wants to tackle these problems by means of a new and careful policy. Careful not only because this is the only way to serve the interests of all Dutch citizens, irrespective of race, beliefs or nature. Careful because we will at all times work to achieve small-scale solutions at the human level. Our positions are businesslike, but with a heart.
Health
Healthcare in this country is in a crisis, resulting from an inappropriate structure and over-regulation on the part of central government, making it impossible to offer many people the care that they should be able to count on in a civilised western country. The waiting lists for life-threatening illnesses, in particular, are unacceptable.
The healthcare sector is burdened with a huge bureaucracy, which has resulted in an imbalance between the money invested and the quality offered. The current government will not be able to solve the problems in the healthcare sector, nor does it have any idea how to tackle the problem of the increasingly ageing population in the future. The LPF wants to hold the healthcare sector accountable on a regular basis, by setting clear criteria on the quality and quantity of care, thereby ensuring that what is offered is what the citizen is entitled to. It will be up to the sector itself to organise this, initially on the basis of the current budget, with the exception of care for the elderly, for which additional funds must be made available for increasing staffing levels. It is clear that this improvement in quality will only be successful through the deployment of greater numbers of carers, fewer managers and less small-scale thinking. Medical entrepreneurship must be encouraged. Private care institutions will be given the same rights as regular hospitals. The government will monitor the quality and accessibility of care.
In addition, a great deal of work is needed in the area of prevention, by promoting a healthy lifestyle and healthy living environment.
In order to reduce the waiting lists, the current budgeting system must be scrapped, to allow medical specialists to carry out additional operations. This can start as of 2005, because the current framework agreements run out in 2004. Specialists will then be paid for performance on the basis of an hourly fee. The LPF would like to strengthen first-line care by attracting nurse practitioners who can take some of the workload off the shoulders of the general practitioners. Those returning to work after raising a family and part-timers must be given help in setting up general practitioner (GP) posts in areas in which there is a danger of a shortage of provision. Establishing GP posts at hospitals would greatly reduce the number of visitors to Accident and Emergency units. Smaller, regional hospitals in residential centres must be maintained; the quality can be ensured by working together with training hospitals and using ICT solutions. More hands at the bedside, by promoting educational courses, reducing sickness absenteeism, providing the funds to train operating theatre assistants in hospitals and the introduction of a social work placement for secondary school pupils.
Education
Teaching staff to be paid a market salary, and the education system to be restructured, partly on the basis of the wishes of the labour market. The central theme of the LPF is that youngsters should be educated to become modern, caring, assertive citizens. Deregulation will make the education system feasible again. The administrative burdens and bureaucracy must be reduced drastically. An end to red tape choking the system and educational experiments, and greater freedom of choice for teachers. They are the real experts. Guaranteeing freedom of education, but resisting unsocial influences in education. Our preference is for smaller schools, each child must be within cycling distance of a primary school.
Social affairs
Participation in the labour process is seen in our western culture as a great good, and in the view of the LPF should be given maximum encouragement. The steady flow of new disability benefit claimants should therefore be brought to a halt. The LPF wants to achieve this by making disability benefit accessible only to those whose occupational disability has occurred in or as a result of work situations. This would involve clear and controllable medical criteria being drawn up by doctors. The Gatekeeper Improvement Act has been in effect since 1 April 2002, and imposes obligations on the employer regarding ill and occupationally disabled employees. Partly to prevent companies only taking on perfectly healthy employees, it will be necessary to limit disability benefit to work-related illnesses. In the case of all other causes of occupational disability, employees should take out private insurance - as the self-employed already do - to avoid ending up on social security benefit. The premium for this can be paid on the basis of personal wishes from the improved purchasing power resulting from a reduction in the disability benefit contribution. Those not covered by the current occupational disability arrangements, such as students, freelancers and homemakers, can then benefit from improved private insurance options.
A great deal of attention must be paid to prevention and returning to work.
The 'polder model' must be critically analysed. Social services and councillors must apply the law and must not tolerate any evasion.
Public order and safety
The justice system is another area that is ripe for reorganisation on every front and at every level. Fewer than a quarter of all the 45,000 police officials is actually involved in implementation. We need more police on the street and fewer behind desks. Every policy of toleration regarding a lack of safety in the public space must be scrapped. This requires that priorities are set. Violent crime, in particular, must be tackled vigorously. It is incomprehensible that the Ministry of Justice prosecutes citizens who exercise their right to defend themselves, but sets the real criminals free due to a lack of time. It is incomprehensible that the Ministry of Justice arrests an honest Turkish tailor and hard-working Polish asparagus planters, but does not set foot in criminal neighbourhoods. Mayors and local councils should be given direct control of the police. The chief constables must be held accountable on the basis of results, and if they do not cooperate they should, if necessary, be replaced by promoting middle management. There will be a serious clampdown on contempt for the police. The heavy load on detectives caused by criminals who go straight back onto the streets and commit more crime must be brought to an end immediately by expanding the cell capacity, along with the necessary staff. Why is it, in the Netherlands, that we can allow four elderly people to a room in a nursing home, but not four criminals to a cell, at least on a temporary basis?
The excessive level of criminality is one of the principal causes of the increasing number of crimes. The Military Police would therefore be given the same powers as the police in terms of arresting and locking up criminals. Maximum use will be made of the existing contacts between the military police and foreign police forces. The training capacity of the Military Police will be kept at maximum strength during the next cabinet period. The customs service, which has been greatly reduced by successive rounds of cuts, will be strengthened again, because the customs service is authorised to monitor for drugs and weapons smuggling throughout the country. Mixed detective teams of police, Military Police and customs officers will ensure that the Netherlands does not become a safe haven for international criminals. The Mobile Border Control is currently staffed by 700 military police officers. By adding police and customs officers, the capacity of these flying squads could be doubled in a year.
Finances
The current 'Zalm Standard' must be maintained in its present form. Inflation, with its particularly crippling effect on the weakest members of society, must be tackled forcefully. Any taxes which contribute to inflation or increase costs, such as an excessively high VAT, stamp duty, ECO tax and taxes imposed by lower levels of government, must be removed from the tax system Policy measures are analysed by the ministries and the political parties in terms of their effect on income. But the effect on income is not the same as the effect on purchasing power, and that's what actually counts. What does it matter that the income of the average man is increased by 2% by a certain measure? This income could be that earned by a shrewd student working on the side, a widow eating up her capital or a divorced mother with three children in primary school. The student throws a party, the widow doesn't hear about the tax benefit and the divorced mother can finally take the children for a week's holiday. There is no such thing as the 'average man'. When calculating the effect of policy measures, the LPF will take account of the wealth and financial capacity of households. The analytical office of the LPF will be responsible for this. There is a natural resistance to paying tax. If the benefit is clear, then resistance is low. One example of this is road tax. This should not spiral out of control, however, as would be the case with pouring 260 million guiders into tollgates. Some taxes cannot be justified, like stamp duty, capital gains tax and certain local levies. If it cannot be explained why the tax is charged, and it is not clear what is done with the tax collected, or the tax charged is not in line with that in other European countries, then consideration must be given to scrapping the tax in question.
This applies particularly if the budgetary interests are low and relatively excessive perception costs are being incurred (collection, compliance and tax procedures). The LPF is demanding accountability for tax policy at all levels. Any ministry or local authority requesting the use of tax money in the context of the environment, labour mobility, employment, home ownership, European competitiveness, etc., will be wasting its time with the LPF if it has not carried out a thorough analysis of the effects, made itself accountable to the public and drawn up as watertight a system as possible to prevent fraud.
When drawing up and implementing tax policies, the legislative government is confronted with the field of tension between economic justice and legal effectiveness. The LPF puts social acceptance of tax and the intended purpose at the centre of new and existing tax law. The LPF bases its approach to spreading the tax and contribution load on the solidarity principle. The strongest shoulders will bear the heaviest loads, but in a socially acceptable manner. This will result in fiscal stimulation of the entrepreneurial climate, in wealthy individuals being taxed on the yield they have actually achieved (including losses), in support for home owners, in removal of the tax burden on victims of the poverty trap, and if necessary in pensioners being helped with specific tax benefits for the elderly.
'Kok's quarter' must be returned to the car driver. As long as public transport does not offer a good alternative to the car, it is not fair to bother the business driver in a bureaucratic manner with a variety of tax schemes.
The economy
The salary and price spiral will have to be broken, by extreme caution and with realistic pay increases. The purchasing power of Dutch citizens will have to be protected, by lowering social security contributions and, where possible, taxes. The government will have to boost the growth in labour productivity, by giving strong support to Information and Communication Technology (ICT), which in turn promotes efficiency. Wherever a combination of care responsibilities and labour jeopardise this labour productivity growth, the government will have to offer creative solutions. Due to the unprecedented opportunities for ICT in our service-based economy, the government should support this sector as much as possible. One way to do this would be with the funds acquired from the UMTS auctions. Monopolies in the service sector will preferably not be privatised. Income-dependent subsidies which hinder entry into the labour market (the poverty trap) must be scrapped and replaced with other schemes. Policy on capital acquisition, such as that relating to the sale of rented homes, salary savings schemes and mortgage tax relief, will be continued.
Emancipation and integration
Large groups in the community are lagging behind in social and cultural terms. These groups often originate from countries which did not participate in the Judeo-Christian-humanist developments which have been taking place in Europe for centuries. These shortfalls in development are highly regrettable, as they result in a divide in society and form a threat to the functioning of our large cities. This must be tackled vigorously, on the one hand by paying extra attention to housing, schools and cultural education for these groups, but on the other by requiring these groups to make a maximum effort themselves. Cultural developments which are diametrically opposed to the desired integration and emancipation, such as arranged marriages, honour revenge and female circumcision, must be fought by means of legislation and public information. Discrimination against women in fundamentalist Islamic circles is particularly unacceptable. In a democratic society like ours, all citizens have the same rights and obligations, irrespective of race, gender, beliefs and nature. There is a division of Church and State in the Netherlands, and therefore also of mosque and state. Thanks to the division of powers (the executive, legislative and judiciary powers), citizens can develop themselves in relative freedom. Our hard-fought freedoms are worth protecting against increasing fundamentalism. We must carry out a study into whether the introduction of a social and military service for boys and girls of eighteen years of age or older can contribute to integration.
Immigration
The LPF plainly states that the Netherlands is not an immigration country. The Netherlands has one of the densest populations in the world. This is manifested in increasing problems and tensions in the area of public housing, spatial planning, employment, safety, health care, mobility, nature preservation, fragmentation of open space, care for the environment and recreation. The large-scale immigration in recent decades of often poorly educated people with no income, looking for economic improvement goes completely against all the above. In order to get Dutch society into shape, it is absolutely essential that maximum resistance is given to immigration. The funds which would be saved from providing accommodation for these immigrants/asylum-seekers can then be spent on improving the position of all legal residents of the Netherlands. People who have been displaced by socio-political situations somewhere in the world should preferably be looked after in the region from which they originate. We don't blame anyone for coming here to find refuge, but we do blame the Purple Coalition government for maintaining the illusion abroad that there is room for everyone in the Netherlands. This has resulted in emasculation of its own strict Aliens Act. Last year, 33,000 asylum seekers entered the Netherlands, less than ten per cent of which will be admitted. Most of them therefore end up as illegal immigrants. This means that 30,000 people have travelled in vain and have been given false hope. Now that's antisocial. What is needed is clarity; Dutch embassies and local media must be used to communicate the new, tighter policy. Refugees must be looked after in their own region. It is our obligation to make a generous financial contribution to achieving this. Cuts will not be imposed unconditionally on the Ministry of Development Cooperation, but expenditure will be assessed critically in terms of its effectiveness.
Mobility and spatial planning
Accessibility has become a major bottleneck. Mobility is the result of socio-economic activities (work, shopping) and socio-cultural activities (recreation, family visits) and behaviour. The solutions will therefore have to be found within these activities and behaviour, and not simply by installing infrastructure (roads, railways, canals) for which there is insufficient space and money in our country. Applications from 'ICT pavilions' and other creative ideas will have to provide the solutions, under the motto 'Utilisation alongside construction'. Flexible working hours could be used to reduce rush-hour traffic. The construction of the economically unfeasible Betuwe line will have to be stopped as quickly as possible; the funds released by this could be used to tackle the mobility problem. Bottlenecks will have to be tackled by building extra road lanes. The Purple Coalition has set the wrong priorities: billions are being spent on prestige projects such as the Betuwe line and the High Speed Line, and not on local public transport. New town locations, such as Leidsche Rijn, are in danger of becoming a fiasco, because there are no good train connections. A tough line will be taken on vandalism and crime on public transport. Generally speaking, it is clear that the failure of the large cities policy and increased crime are the primary reasons why businesses and the middle classes are abandoning the cities. This is increasing the pressure on the countryside. Removing these causes will benefit the environment much more than all the well-intended plans and environmental legislation.
Culture
The cultural education and development of Dutch citizens is of great importance, as is the maintenance of existing culture in all its forms. The LPF is of the opinion, however, that subsidising cultural development should take place only with the greatest of restraint. This will have to be based on the profit principle, with the primary focus on sponsorship.
Defence
As a prosperous modern nation, the Netherlands should shoulder its responsibilities in a suitable manner in the area of international security. Maintaining our army is important in this respect, bearing in mind the role that a small country can reasonably play as a NATO partner. The level of ambition will be reduced from four peacekeeping operations to three. The LPF supports the international fight against terrorism, but wants to focus greater attention on dialogue alongside the use of military means. The LPF wants to reduce the top-heavy bureaucracy, to ensure that our armed forces remain modern, efficient and effective. This would involve breaking the top-level structure in The Hague, consisting of four complete headquarters (ministry, navy, army and air force) which spend a great deal of time monitoring one another. The highly effective Military Police will not be affected by this. The top-level structure in The Hague will be replaced with an umbrella Admiralty, which will act as a Board of Governors for the armed forces, with divisional directors for sea, land and air forces. The LPF opts for the Admiralty as management model due to the excellent reputation of the navy. But as far as we are concerned, the Board of Commanding Officers can choose a different name. The goal is to arrive at maximum cooperation. The Defence Chief of Staff will have an important, steering role in this. The LPF shall maintain the operational effectiveness of the navy, army and air force and their valuable traditions. The integration of the sections of the armed forces will be implemented primarily in the operational approach, logistics and in training.
Agriculture
No other sector in the Netherlands is being dismantled by the government as effectively as agricultural businesses. This must change. Farmers and market gardeners must be given the opportunity to produce in a healthy market. With a government that treats them differently, and with far less legislation. It will be the government's job to offer the agriculture sector economic prospects again. Only with a healthy sector can there be a basis for Dutch agriculture. After all, only healthy businesses can invest and continue to lead the field. One of the conditions for a healthy sector is that the Netherlands should not set higher requirements than Europe, and that the government implements clear and reliable policies.
The Netherlands must stop anticipating EU agreements. Allow the harmonisation to happen at the speed indicated by Brussels. All the agriculture sectors within the EU must be able to produce under comparable circumstances, taking climate differences into account, of course. But there should be no supplementary requirements at a national level which increase prices and have a negative effect on competitiveness. The government must also spend the next four years removing bottlenecks in legislation, in consultation with the agricultural sector, in the areas of food safety, animal welfare and the environment, and creating a clear and workable framework within which Dutch agriculture can have an honest opportunity to prove itself.
The necessary restructuring must not end up as a cold-blooded purge. By getting the banks involved on the basis of their own interests, and if necessary getting the ministry to issue credit guarantees, the sector can be reorganised in a more humane way. Farming talent and farming entrepreneurship must not be lost. Farmers will receive a government subsidy for nature and landscape management. Foot and mouth crises will be resolved in an animal-friendly manner, by arguing at the international level for inoculation.
Domestic government
Experiments with modernising domestic government (including dual government) must be continued with vigour. Citizens who have a say in how their lives are run - and who must also be held accountable for their responsibilities - must be involved more directly in government. Once again, the point of departure is taking maximum responsibility. Responsibilities must be placed as low as possible in the administrative structure. Ossified structures and cultures, as well as accepted problems, must be cleared out of the way and no longer deemed self-evident (limits of the polder model, international agreements, established interests, etc.), but will be solved with flair and creativity, as a result of the political system taking its responsibilities. Increases in scale must be resisted and where possible reversed, in order to create a workable, transparent and effective public administration which is close to its citizens. The mayors and prime minister must be elected. The monarchy is not a subject of debate, the head of state retains a ceremonial and uniting role.
Europe
The European Union is a phenomenal experiment, which has contributed a great deal to peace in our part of the world, which for many centuries was dominated by wars. The EU has contributed a great deal to the prosperity of its member states. Support for the EU among the population could be further increased by reducing the bureaucracy of Brussels. The operation of the European parliament will be critically analysed, the control function could also be exercised by a senate composed of delegates from the national parliaments. The LPF is in favour of the EU, but with retention of our country's own identity and, wherever possible, of its own sovereignty. The principle of subsidiarity shall be the guiding factor. New member states will only be permitted to join after the Dutch people have been given their say in a politically binding referendum in the matter. This will ensure that the politicians are forced to examine carefully the benefits and disadvantages of expansion of the EU.

The above positions of the Lijst Pim Fortuyn are based on our manifesto 'The mess left after eight years of the Purple Coalition", which was published on 15 March. Other earlier publications of Prof. Dr. W.S.P. Fortuyn were also consulted. This summary was put together for the foreign media which does not have access to the book.

====================

Buon ritorno del '600 nella tua testa.

[angelo nero]

Il programma, ancorchè attuabile, in realtà non mi sembra di poco conto.
Molto mi piace la trattazione della materia inerente la salute pubblica, meno primari e più personale di servizio , ospedali più piccoli e meglio distribuiti; più umana e più piccola la dimensione aziendale, più efficienza e creatività e meno burocrazia.
Più volte sottolineata nei nostri ambienti, la ridimensionabilità dei criteri ei efficienza aziendale ai fini di creare una funzionalità migliore, è perfettamente in linea con le attese di sviluppo economico ragionevole (non a caso questo aggettivo è citato più volte) contro le mire del "grande, più grande" di stile americano.
Tra l'altro, la sussidiarietà del pubblico con il privato al servizio del sociale mi trova perfettamente d'accordo.
Particolare sensibilità nella difesa dei disabili nel comparto del lavoro, unita all'inserimento dei part-time e delle mamme che tornano in occupazione nei settori più in crisi.
Leit-motiv è la difesa delle minoranze, ma di quelle legali o legalizzate , tra cui per primi gli immigrati messisi in regola con quote e lavoro, come per altro i disagiati.
Nell'ordine pubblico dice qualcosa che ci è particolarmente vicino, più polizia nelle strade e meno ai tavoli di centrale , in linea con il criterio del fare, dell'operare, della sicurezza attiva del cittadino nella lotta contro il crimine.
Meglio questa spiegazione "E' incomprensibile che il ministero della giustizia arresti un sarto turco e degli onesti piantatori di asparagi polacchi laboriosi, anzichè mettere piede nelle centrali dei criminali".
Nel campo finanziario, le tasse inutili che gravano sui ceti deboli sono più dannose che utili, afferma Fortuyn, perchè c'è una naturale ritrosia a pagare le tasse quando gli utenti (ed i meno agiati) non sanno dove quei denari vanno a finire e quale beneficio hanno a fronte del pagamento.
La spirale salari-prezzi deve essere spezzata aumentando ragionevolmente le paghe e devono essere sviluppate al massimo le telecomunicazioni, UMTS compresa, ma non privatizzati i monopoli .

Molto più sociale di quanto pensassi, ragionevole, creativa. Una buona posizione, quella della lista Fortuyn. Intelligente e propositiva, soprattutto.

[Arancia Meccanica]

Bella e avvicente la prima parte del post.
Ripugnante invece l'apologia del pensiero liberal-progressista...
Caro Ulan, forse ti sei dimenticato che anche i tuoi amici liberali hanno partecipato al linciaggio morale contro Fortuyn.

[Felix (POL)]

d'accordo al 90% con Ulan e complimenti per il bel post.

Fortuyn tuttavia ha (aveva) due limiti fondamentali:

1) era gay

2) voleva solo il blocco dell'immigrazione, non l'espulsione totale dei non-olandesi.

Quando uno gira per Amsterdam vorrebbe trovare dei simpatici olandesi nordici (biondi, occhi azzurri, ecc...), calvinisti, lavoratori e onesti. Invece ci trova: negri, indiani, turchi, indonesiani e meticci vari, nonchè drogati, delinquenti e nullafacenti a nonfinire.
Ecco cosa si deve cambiare.
