Another baptism at the same time, in the heart of a Europe plagued by floods. It is the beginning of a fairy tale, but a political reality. In fact, the day of Wednesday, August 11, almost contemporeanea are now in place the Czech and Slovak. Already last Friday, Poland and Hungary had lived in the same day, the advent of the new presidents, Bronislaw Komorowski and Pal Schmitt, two figures not only by political scientists and the international community but also the public expects a lot. Never, however, come nel caso di Praga e Bratislava. Qui da sistemare c'è un assetto finanziario, fortemente colpito dalla crisi internazionale, e gli elettori dei due Paesi della ex-Cecoslovacchia esigono un sensibile miglioramento della vita di tutti i giorni.
I nuovi esecutivi, come primo passo, hanno lanciato un messaggio di forte discontinuità con il passato, e, sopratutto, dato prova di maturazione democratica. In Slovacchia, per la prima volta, a ricoprire il premierato è una donna, Iveta Radicova, di professione sociologa. In Repubblica Ceca, invece, è stato nominato il primo ministro più giovane di sempre, Petr Necas, 45 anni, fisico. Entrambi i governi sono anche i più snelli nella storia dei due Paesi: 13 ministri a Bratislava - sei in meno, 14 a Praga - sette i dicasteri tagliati. Non solo. Necas ha nominato solo due vice primier. E, così come la collega slovacca, ha rinunciato a scorta ed automobile d'ordinanza, promettendo di recarsi al lavoro con i mezzi pubblici.
In seguito alle elezioni parlamentari anticipate dello scorso 29 maggio, a Praga la maggioranza è stata affidata a partiti liberali e conservatori - Partito Democratico Civico ODS, TOP O9 e Veci Verejne [Affari Pubblici in italiano]. Chiaro e netto, in cinque punti, il programma di governo, peraltro pubblicato già qualche settimana prima dell'insediamento sul sito internet istituzionale: riforma della pubblica finanza, con lo scopo di accorciare il debito pubblico e, nel 2016, remove it entirely, health reform, to ensure greater efficiency to the entire population, modernization of the judicial system and service sectors, and finally, transparency policies against corruption in the public sector. "The new majority - said Necas - takes upon himself all the responsibility for these changes. It 'an ambitious challenge, we do not want to lose."
From words to deeds. Now the prime minister has cut the wages of 5% for all civil servants, with no exceptions: members of the Council of Ministers to the chairmen of local authorities. A measure, as explained by the expert Petr Sustrov, not dictated solely by budget requirements, but, above all, having a strong moral value, because they are the same members of the majority to set a good example, and pay for the cost of a first financial policy of blood and tears, which aims to reduce the Czech public debt, now amounting to 8 billion dollars.
Not unlike the situation in Bratislava. Even here, a center-right coalition - formed by the Christian Democratic Slovenská demokratická to kresťanská Unia - Demokratická strange SDKÚ-DS, the Christian Democrat movement Kresťanskodemokratické hnutie, KDN, the Conservative Party to Solidarita Sloboda, SAS, and the party of the minority Liberal-Conservative Most Hungarian-Hid - pledged total break with the previous Executive of the Social Democrat Robert Fico, branded as irresponsible and populist, and has presented a clear program, which provides for pension reform and social security contributions, a cut in welfare benefits - expanded dramatically in recent years - and a serious review of the health system.
to increase confidence in the new executive in Prague and Bratislava, but the novelty factor. In fact, in the majority did not enter post-communist parties, nor left. And, for the first time, new faces, which belong to popular movements, close to the people, have made their appearance in the national political scene, even getting in positions of responsibility. As reported by Slovak daily "Sme" these figures, the voters, are not considered as amateurs. On the contrary, are seen, and supported with great hope that the new ruling class is respectful of the law, and able to give the two countries' growth and prosperity. "
