🔍 Why the system makes them all like this

Before analyzing this politician, we must understand the system they operate in. It is no accident that they all betray their promises. The system expects it.

📜 The legal articles that allow it

Article 67 of the Constitution
"Every member of Parliament represents the Nation and exercises their functions without a binding mandate."

This rule establishes that once elected, a member of parliament is not legally bound to keep their electoral promises. They can change party, position, or opinion without any legal consequence. Their "conscience" is the only constraint.

Article 68 of the Constitution
"Members of Parliament cannot be held accountable for opinions expressed and votes cast in the exercise of their functions."

This rule guarantees immunity for statements and votes expressed in Parliament. Even if statements are misleading or contrary to public interest, the politician cannot be prosecuted.

📚 The theories that explain the system

Gaetano Mosca (1896) — In every society, regardless of the form of government, there is always an organized minority that governs an unorganized majority. Democracy does not eliminate this structure, it merely hides it.

Vilfredo Pareto (1901) — Elites circulate, but the power structure does not change. The people do not govern: only the group of elites occupying the government position changes.

Robert Michels (1911) — Even parties born to represent the masses inevitably end up being controlled by a small circle of leaders. Internal party democracy is an illusion.

"Who says organization, says tendency to oligarchy."

📊 The data that confirms the theories

These are not academic speculations. The data shows the system works exactly as described:

Over 90% of the funding of Giorgia Meloni's party comes from contributions paid by MPs themselves, not from the general public. Source: Camera dei Deputati - Bilanci partiti
The French government has spent over 2.5 billion euros on external consultants since 2017, a 329% increase in six years. McKinsey supported Macron's campaign in 2017 and then obtained government contracts. Source: Senato Francese - Rapporto McKinsey
German Chancellor Scholz has been summoned multiple times as a witness by the parliamentary inquiry committee for the Cum-Ex case, a multi-billion euro tax fraud. Source: Bundestag - Commissione Cum-Ex
18.6% of Italians are at risk of poverty. 9.1% of families are in energy poverty (14.6% on the Islands). 25.6% cannot cope with unexpected expenses. Source: ISTAT - Rapporto povertà

When a politician betrays electoral promises, it is not an individual accident: it is the inevitable product of a system designed to ensure that the elite in power continues to govern. Articles 67 and 68 provide legal protection. The theories of Mosca, Pareto and Michels explain the deep mechanism. It is not the individual politician who is the problem: it is the system.

✅ What They Did for Citizens

The Truth of Facts:

What They Did for Citizens Summary for Critical Analysis

The Truth of Facts 1. **Schlein as a "political form" of legitimation**: It arrived promising to "exterminate the cacicchi" and "eliminate the currents". Three years later, the currents increased and the party is in the hands of the notables. The promise served to **legitimate its leadership** in the face of a base that called for renewal, not to achieve structural change. 2. **The collapse of donations as a political data**: Since 2023, with Schlein secretary, companies have **signed to finance the PD**. This can be read in two ways: either as a ** influence loss*** of the PD on the business world, or as Schlein's political choice**** to not depend on those funding. In both cases, the PD today is financed only with the contributions of its Members*. 3. ** Foreign financing as an organic bond**: The funds of the Soros network (Demokrati pluralism Stiftelsen → Agenda → PD/AVS/+Europa) are not tangent, but **political investments*** declared. However, the fact that the same source supports different parties confirms that the political offer presented in the elections is, in part, ** already selected** by a transnational financial elite. 4. **The scandals as confirmation of the "law ferrea dell'oligarchia"**: Rimborsopoli, Concorsopoli, the treasurer Campania arrested for recycling, electoral corruption in Apulia: all these cases show that the PD, like every party, is crossed by ** local power networks*** that manage public resources and funding in a matte way. As **Robert Michels*** wrote, "the parties are destined to evolve from a democratic structure in an oligarchic structure". 5. **The vote as a ratification of a pre-selected political offer**: The PD presents itself in the elections with a program that promises minimum wage, public health, civil rights. But its financiers (Merloni, Soros, the Agenda network) and its local notables (De Luca, Emiliano, the Cacicchi Campania) have interests that ** they contradict those promises. The vote is for a political offer which has already been negotiated upstream, not to decide the basic policies. 6. **The promises of 2018 as a "legitimate dialogue"**: The PD presented a broad and detailed programme**** on fisco, work, rights, Europe. But in the election he took only 18.7%*** and went to the opposition. The programme was used to define a political identity*** and to restructure the electorate**, not to rule. 7. **The distance between promise and implementation as a "ferrous law"**: Even when the PD has returned to the government (Conte II, Draghi), it has implemented only **in part**** the promises: the cut of the wedge has been partial, the minimum wage never approved, the only ius ever discussed, the law on homophobia affected. The promise is functional to electoral survival**, not to the government. 8. **The vote as a ratification of a pre-selected political offer**: The voter PD on the basis of the 2018 programme (minimum salary, ius solos, health) has no way of knowing that the PD, **when it was to the government****, has approved reforms that have ***precarized the job**** (Jobs Act) and ** increased the debt*** (superbonus). The vote is for a political offer which has already been rejected by the facts.

⚖️ confronto_titolo

confronto_intro

1. XQXQ

Personal Sovereignty says something simple: no one can decide about your life instead of you. Schlein arrived at the PD secretariat in March 2023 with 53.8% of the votes at the primary. He promised to eliminate the currents. The currents are "live and vegete" and "increased". He promised he'd take the shit out. De Luca and Emiliano were not relapsed, but only by decision of the government on the third mandate — not by will of the PD. She promised she wouldn't run into it. The Apulia case denied it: the PD has nominated for a corruption investigation. Every betrayal promise is a decision made for you. Every time he said "I'll change the party" and he didn't, he decided for you. And you couldn't do anything. You can't revoke her. You can't force her to keep the word. You have to wait for the next election. Meanwhile, the PD continues to vote on the same things, to finance the same money, to manage health in Emilia Romagna as before. In our system, you are the source of power. In his, you are an elector to be reconquered every time with the same promises of change. Abyssal difference.

2. Equal Dignity

The same Dignity says: everyone is born equal, with the same material rights. Period. Schlein was born in Lugano, Switzerland. He has Italian, Swiss and American citizenship (said the USA in 2022 to apply). She is the daughter of Melvin Schlein, an American politician of Jewish origin, and Maria Paola Viviani Schlein, professor of constitutional law. He is the nephew of Vittorio Viviani, writer and partisan. He studied at the London School of Economics. It's not a demerit. It's a privilege. A privilege that allowed her to collaborate in the Barack Obama presidential campaign in 2008, to become a MEP at 28 in 2013, to enter the Emilia-Romagna Region in 2020, to become a secretary of the PD in 2023. While she built this career, the Renzi government — of her own party — approved the Jobs Act. The Jobs Act abolished Article 18 for new recruits: in case of illegitimate dismissal, there is no more reintegration, only a compensation. He created a double track: the "guaranteed" assumed before March 7, 2015 and the "precari" assumed after. He liberalized the time. He weakened the unions. He's pre-carried a generation. The result? In 2024, the youth employment rate (15-34 years) was 43.7%, compared to an EU average of 50.2%. Over 1 million young people left Italy between 2011 and 2021. 48.2% of women employed have an involuntary part-time. The gender pay gap is 5.4% (but rises to 43% if you consider the pension gap). The unemployment rate in the South is 13.8%, compared with 5.9% of the North. His "equal dignity" is a two-speed dignity: one for those born in Lugano and studied at LSE, one for those born in Taranto and seeking work for ten years. In our system, no one is born with privileges. Everyone is born sovereigns.

3. Sovereign Consent

The Sovereign Consensus says: no one can be minority. If a decision doesn't suit everyone, we keep discussing. Schlein arrived at the PD secretariat with 53.8% of the votes at the primary. 46.2% of the PD voted against her. What about that minority? It doesn't matter. She wasn't heard. She wasn't involved. It was simply ignored. Bonaccini, Franceschini, Letta — the "big" of the party — are in open conflict with her. The line too left and the leadership are the reasons for the clash. But none of them have ever heard of it. And party management? Schlein is almost never at Nazareno. He's not answering the phone. It does not participate in meetings and directions. This is the Sovereign Consensus on the contrary: power is concentrated in a person, but that person does not exercise it. The party is paralyzed. The decisions are not taken. What about the citizens? They don't know anything. They can't say anything. They can't decide anything. In our system, even one citizen who says "no" blocks everything. Because between rulers you do not win and you do not lose: you decide together. Schlein won. The minority has lost. And the party is still. We want everyone to win.

4. XQ

The Immune System serves to prevent a man from taking power. Immediate revocation, draw, incompatibility, short and non-renewable mandates. Automatic mechanisms, not good intentions. Schlein is the opposite. He promised to "eliminate the currents" and to "exterminate the caciches." But the PD is crossed by scandals about scandals: Rimborsopoli (Calabria): Carlo Guccione (National Direction PD), absolute Competition (Umbria): Catiuscia Marini, Barberini, Bocci, condanne in primo livello Treasurer PD Campania: Nicola Salvati, arrested for recycling Urban survey (Milan): Beppe Sala (sindaco PD), investigated Case Apulia: the PD candidate for a corruption investigation, despite the promise not to run undamaged What about funding? Since 2023, with Schlein secretary, companies have ceased to finance the PD. Today, the PD is almost exclusively financed with the contributions of its MPs. More funds from the Soros network (Demokrati pluralism Stiftelsen → Agenda → PD/AVS/+Europa): 128.793 € to PD candidates. More Francesco Merloni (Ariston Thermo, former minister): 100,000 €. Michels, a hundred years ago, had foreseen all this: the ferreous law of oligarchy. "The parties are destined to evolve from a democratic structure in an oligarchical structure. "The PD is no exception. Schlein is no exception. It is the living confirmation of the law. And the fact that it arrived promising to scrape the party and did not do it is proof that the system is designed to allow it.

5. Sovereign Coin

The Sovereign Coin says: money is a public service, not a commodity. The Community issue it without debt. Private banks do not exist. Schlein never talks about this. He doesn't say where the money comes from for his policies. He doesn't say who finances his ascent. He doesn't say if he wants to break down the power of the banks or leave it intact. His financiers, however, speak for her: Soros Network (Demokrati pluralism Stiftelsen → Agenda → PD/AVS/+Europa): 128.793 € Francesco Merloni (Ariston Thermo, former minister): 100.000 € Soros network funds are not tangent, but political investments declared. However, the fact that the same source supports different parties (PD, AVS, + Europe) confirms that the political offer presented in the elections is, in part, already selected by a transnational financial elite. Inconvenient question: who pays his campaign? Who benefits from his policies? As long as he doesn't say, his "subrase" is only rhetoric. In our system, the money is transparent and plotted. In his, he remains in the shadows.

6. Self-sufficiency

Self-sufficiency says: a sovereign people produces what consumes and consumes what they produce. Energy, food, technology, defense. Material addiction, not flags. Schlein says he wants a "superana" Italy against the European rearmament. Criticizes the 800 billion von der Leyen plan and calls for more funds for health and school. On Ukraine, it is in favour of sending "defensive" weapons, contrary to direct involvement. On Italian military spending, it is contrary to the increase to 2% of GDP, but it does not have a very clear position. This ambiguity is the problem. He doesn't say "no" to guns. He says "yes, but defensive." He doesn't say "no" to NATO. He says "yes, but with ambiguity." He doesn't say "no" to the rearmament. He says "yes, but with more funds to health." This is not sovereignty. It is subordination disguised as moderation. What about the PD? The PD voted in favour of sending weapons to Ukraine. He voted for military spending. He voted for the European rearmament. Schlein didn't change this line. He just added some "but." Vannacci says: "Let's change master." Meloni says: "We stay with the current master." Crosetto says: "We sell weapons to all masters." Salvini says: "Navy boy!" — but he never did. Schlein says: "Defensive weapons" — but does not say "no" to weapons. None of them say: "We have no masters." We do. Community of Sovereigns exits NATO, exits the EU, exits the UN. Not because "we are with Putin" or "we are with America." But because we're not with anyone. We're sovereigns. Period.

7. Time of Life

The Time of Life says: the only criterion that counts is the quality of time you spend on this earth. Not GDP, not productivity, not war. Schlein promised to eliminate the currents. The currents have increased. He promised he'd take the shit out. He didn't. She promised she wouldn't run into it. The Puglia case denied it. He promised the minimum wage. Never approved. He promised public health. No legislative result. He promised civil rights. Proposed, never approved. Meanwhile, the PD: Has approved the Jobs Act (government Renzi, 2014-2015) Precarnates a generation He created a double track between "guaranteed" and "precarious" It weakened the unions It has favored administration agencies (Adecco, Manpower, Gi Group) He created a job advisor market EU recommendations on labour market flexibility The Jobs Act had a cost for citizens: Workers hired after 7 March 2015: loss of the right to reintegration in the event of unlawful dismissal Youth: structural precariousness, youth employment at 43.7% (against 50.2% EU) Women: 48.2% involuntary part-time, gender pay gap of 5.4% (43% on pensions) Half-day: unemployment at 13.8% (against 5.9% in the North) Trade unions: weakening of collective bargaining "guaranteed" workers: dualism and division of the working class This is the legacy of the PD: more precarious, more inequality, less rights. And Schlein hasn't changed anything. He promised to change the party and he didn't. He promised to change policies and he didn't. The time of Italian life was stolen twice: first to pay taxes, then to pay the bill of promises never kept. In our system, free time is the supreme criterion. Every hour spent working in a precarious contract is an hour of stolen life.

8. The politician as a school case

If Moscow, Pareto and Michels wanted an empirical case for their theories, they could not find him better than Schlein. Moscow said that in every society there is a political class that governs the disorganized majority. Schlein is a member of this class: born in Lugano, studies at LSE, collaborator of Obama, MEP at age 28, secretary of the PD at 38. He spent his entire adult life in politics or in his surroundings. He is not a man of the people. He is a politician, daughter of a system he learned to use to conquer power. Pareto said that the story is a cemetery of aristocracies and that the elite circulate. Schlein is the perfect example: the elite of the radical left that, after the season of Possible, recycled into the elite of the PD. His ascent is not a revolution. It's elite circulation. Power changes slogans, but remains in the same hands. Michels said democracy inevitably produces oligarchy. Schlein is the confirmation: she arrived promising to eliminate currents and dumplings, and she didn't. He promised not to apply for investigations, and the case Puglia denied it. He promised an open party, and the party is in the hands of the notables. The PD is a party that lives on its own, for itself. A closed circle. A caste self-financing (with the contributions of MPs and Soros funds) and self-perpetence. The fundamental difference: we want to disconnect the ferreous law of oligarchy. Schlein embodies her. And the fact that it arrived promising to scrape the party and did not do it is proof that the system is designed to allow it.

9. The vote that brought you here

If you voted for the PD, you know that you have done a sovereign abdication. You gave your power to a party. And that party, once elected, is free to do the opposite of what he promised you. It is the Constitution itself that allows it. Article 67: "Every member of Parliament represents the Nation and exercises its functions without a mandate. "
→ Translated: electoral promises are ragged paper. He can betray you, legally. Article 68: Parliamentary immunity.
→ Translated: If you commit crimes, you need permission from your colleagues to process it. They almost never give it up. Together, they form the shield of Casta. The first one lets you betray. The second protects you while you do it. The PD has betrayed the cut of the tax wedge (partial). He betrayed the IRPEF cut (not implemented). He betrayed the minimum wage (never approved). He betrayed the precarious contrast (not implemented). He has betrayed the strengthening of the Inclusion Revenue (abolite). He betrayed the plan for non self-sufficiency (never implemented). He betrayed the lonely ius (never approved). He betrayed the law on homophobia (laid in the Senate in 2021). He betrayed the end of life (never approved). He betrayed the reduction of waiting lists (not implemented). Ten promises betrayed out of ten. And the Constitution protects him. And Schlein, who arrived in 2023, changed nothing. In Community of Sovereigns, all this does not exist. No immunity. No warrant without constraint. Who's wrong pays. Those who betray laugh. And who presents himself with a program that will not keep is not even allowed to do so. Because there are no elections. There are no campaigns. There are no promises. Only decisions taken together, as a peer, without masters.

Conclusion

Schlein is not a political opponent like others. It is the anti-Community of Sovereigns in its most disappointing form. Every principle is the denial of our principle: You want the hierarchy. We equality. You want the majority crushing. We are unanimity. You want the boss. We the mechanisms. She wants propaganda. We are the truth. She wants the past. We're the future. He promised to eliminate the currents. The currents have increased. He promised he'd take the shit out. He didn't. She promised she wouldn't run into it. The Puglia case denied it. He promised the minimum wage. Never approved. He promised public health. No results. He promised civil rights. Never approved. What about the PD? The PD approved the Jobs Act. He's pre-carried a generation. He created a double track between "guaranteed" and "precarious". He weakened the unions. He favored administration agencies. He respected EU recommendations on the flexibility of the labour market. Community of Sovereigns is the only possible answer. Not because it's perfect, but because it's the only one that doesn't reproduce the twists of the past. Schlein is the past that returns. We are the future that has yet to be born. The choice is clear. And it doesn't admit neutrality.

The Jobs Act: who lost and who earned

The Jobs Act is a set of legislative decrees implemented by the Renzi Government (PD) in 2014-2015. The political heart: the abolition of Article 18 of the Staff Regulations for new recruits (after 7 March 2015). In the event of illegitimate dismissal, there is no more reintegration in the workplace, but only an economic compensation. Who lost: Workers hired after 7 March 2015: loss of the right to reintegration Youth: structural precariousness, youth employment at 43.7% (against 50.2% EU), over 1 million young migrants between 2011 and 2021 Women: 48.2% involuntary part-time, gender pay gap of 5.4% (43% on pensions) Half-day: unemployment at 13.8% (against 5.9% in the North) Trade unions: weakening of collective bargaining, failed referendums in 2017 and 2025 "guaranteed" workers: dualism and division of the working class Who's earned: Business: increased flexibility, decontribution up to €8,060 per year for 3 years (estimated cost: 2.5 billion) Confindustria: political victory, "necessary reform" (Squinzi) Agencies for work: growth of Adecco, Manpower, Gi Group Consulting companies: new market for HR consultants and companies Government Renzi and PD: political capital, consensus with EU Commission, ECB, financial markets European Union: Compliance with Recommendations on Labour Market Flexibility Judgments of the Constitutional Court: 194/2018: Inconstitutional automatic compensation calculation 150/2020: inconstitutional the lack of causality for contracts over 12 months 59/2021: illegitimate dismissal compensation must be adequate, not automatic The referendum: 2017 (voucher): failed for non quorum (30.7%) 2025 (Jobs Act): failed by non quorum (30.6%) The result: A party that presents itself as a worker defender has approved the reform that has precarised a generation. And Schlein, who arrived in 2023, changed nothing. He promised to change the party and he didn't. He promised to change policies and he didn't. In Community of Sovereigns, the job is chosen, not immediately. Every citizen has home, income, health and knowledge guaranteed by birth. There is no precariousness. There is no blackmail. There is no dualism between "guaranteed" and "precarious". There is only freedom to create, to work, to live. And no one can take it off.
