Training , compromise, coexistence, fun ... this is all I could share with the Socialist Youth on Saturday 25th July evening. It was a pleasure.
you upload, then part of the intervention by adding some things that emerged in the course of the table with Lidia Santos.
I. POSSIBLE COEXISTENCE IN COMPANIES Homogeneous? Yes, you should be.
I think especially important to start asking this question because I think it's the yolk of the egg, the essential element that we consider when we talk about territorial organization of a State.
The question I wanted to include because the answer: for us, it is possible. Although the realities around us were in the opposite direction: Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a secular Zionist state of Israel in 1948 to demand recognition of a Jewish state Israel, largely indigenous movements in some Latin American countries ... said, despite these examples, I that these cases were not in the right direction and must, tnt, built in another direction.
In fact, depending on what response we'll see how this leads to a side or another. Graph I think the terms used
Lydia Ortega y Gasset: spoke of the "conllevancia" in the sense that we had toleréssim ... is certainly not the same as saying Azaña.
Azan: talking instead about the "mutual recognition" which implied a very different way of seeing things, where interest in the other plays, learning from each other, etc ... We feel closer to this conception.
Notes on a concept that again later, because I think that is the cornerstone on which we need to build the rest: radical democracy. The values \u200b\u200bof the French Revolution had to lead us to affirm that this coexistence should be possible in complex societies. We conceive of democracy as the best management system of pluralism, with the three essential principles of liberty, equality and solidarity.
why the concept of nation that is installed in what is known as an organic concept of nation, when the nation is inclusive and seeks a most homogeneous political community, not admitting ideological competition, then, is not feasible.
The concept of nation that we use is one that allows the coexistence of multiple identities, seeking the comfort of each individual and their identities, leaving out only those who do not respect the freedoms and rights. This nation requires an inclusive form of government, a planning model that is more than federalism. Why?
federalism is the best response to complex societies (not look the homogeneity).
federalism not only as a technique of decentralization, but as a political philosophy of the pact of coexistence in difference that starts with republicanism, where the person, the citizen is at the heart of the policies promoted by the authorities.
Federalism in recognition of the plurality of identities.
II. FEDERAL CULTURE IN SPAIN ... IA CATALAN
Lack of political praxis in the federal funds is a lack of democratic practice: the effect of assessing deliberation, discussion, negotiation, transfer, resignation. We must think that there are no winners and losers because this dynamic is precisely contrary to a democratic conception.
EYE! When talking about culture that lacks federal Spain, there is still more in Catalonia ... Catalonia is not homogeneous, so we should talk more of Spain's Catalonia plural plural or plural Euskadi ...
Some fallacies associated with the idea of \u200b\u200bfederalism that we should fight and in fact were associated with nationalism both distort the image, for example, in Catalonia:
1. It is not a zero-sum mechanism, but positive-sum: it is not fighting to win something thinking that it will lose the other ... does not have to lose anyone. We must work for the common interest, not only for himself.
2. It is a model that promotes inequality, but the difference if you want, which is completely different. This was made clear jurisprudence of the TC. In any case, the differences between the Autonomous Communities do not think it should be an end in themselves, but a consequence of the exercise of the powers and as a result of the implementation of various public policies, best, with which obtain better results.
3. It is a model middle towards independence. In fact going in the opposite direction, as in do not want to build common elements that unite a whole. This makes us very bad, because we lose credibility and reliability meet the rest of Spain.
III. BASIC REQUIREMENTS TO HAVE BEEN A FEDERAL
1. Will the parties to constitute themselves as a whole. The democratic Spain, but the reverse was born after 40 years of a centralized dictatorship. This original sin is unsolvable, but not necessarily condition the rest of the model.
2. State compound. We certainly made a state, there are other comparable worldwide.
3. Distribution of powers. Established by the block of constitutionality, that is, the Constitution and the Statutes of Autonomy.
4. To resolve jurisdictional conflicts. It is our Constitutional Court
5. Institutions common. Primarily it should be a Senate chamber that was true of territorial representation. Clearly the requirement is weaker in our constitutional model. There have been creating other major organs to make possible such cooperation as can be: Conference of Presidents and Conferences sector.
IV. THE NEW FEDERAL FUNDING FOR FUNDING AS A SPANISH
Get a good balance between autonomy and equality. Establishing
leveling mechanisms.
Revenues come mainly from the CCAA tax revenues and subsidies. Enter a
explicit criterion of solidarity.
V. AND NOW WHAT?
Now we want to define the powers and money because we want to practice these skills: what kind of public policy we want? What education policy? What health policy? Which university policy?
The differences come from other regions to exercise the powers, not of the awards made in state laws.
VI. A PROPOSAL FOR CITIZENS OF federalism
As a pact of coexistence in difference (not generating social fragmentation) How
item proximity (subsidiarity, recognition of different centers power, municipal ...) As
pact between radical democratic citizens (constant debate, liberty, pursuit of fairness, balance and cohesion and social justice ... the citizen at the center, as I said at the beginning).
In short, federalism has two legs that can not be separated:
One aspect of the construction of everything with institutional loyalty (we believe the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia is the first rule that incorporates this principle in a legal standard), with an idea of \u200b\u200bcommon interest, by applying two basic principles such as cooperation and solidarity.
A Vessantara of reconeixement of their parts: a autogovern amb fort (a cogovern) i amb l'alhora corresponsabilitat requirement, amb respect to the pluralitat diversitat i, amb respect, in short, per la llibertat.
