Today was founded in Zagreb Party "Sustainable development Croatian" (Walnut). I resisted journalistic nerve, to quickly us zip code write something us zip code for the public, us zip code adding their first impressions and analysis. us zip code (Based on his own extensive experience, a series of failures, but the failures are taught. Now I work exclusively as a researcher, commentator and analyst.)
These are the first impressions, and I think that just as such, spontaneously shaken, might be interesting, us zip code although I have not yet had a chance to see the program and statute (available at the network headquarters of the party, which is set just now - at least I have not seen before notification on facebook page party.).
The party was formed as a result of Mirela Holy, MPs and former Minister of Environmental Protection, which in June left the SDP because of the rejection of its initiative to establish a National park agencies. Her method KJTV causes sympathy, because rare. Rare are those who advocate a policy of consistent principles and are willing to advocate for them. It must be to make compromises, but should also draw the line. Politics is the art of the possible, strive for the values, vision, principles, ideas is the art of the impossible - is also vitally important, to be attained changes. Mirela is skillfully to balance while she could, and withdrew because of principles when he had to.
The party has 208 founders. Everything was done with only one hour. Was carried out, the maximum effective, necessary formal job. Adopted the program and the Statute of the party and elected officials. There were no distractions and strength, all voted unanimously. With Holy, spoke only president Working Presidency. This performance is commendable, but of course it would be wrong to remain the dominant mode.
In all party bodies announced the male-female parity, even called it a "democracy of equals." Function president / an exception (Green Party or have co-president and co-president), which is probably inevitable given the Croatian habits and mentality, even in the "alternatives" and the pivotal role of the Holy. Leaders us zip code are very important (and I hardly made mistakes in the past, estimating this factor). Still should be aware of the danger that the hegemony of one person over time and become us zip code a structural problem.
It is of course elected president. With her, Constituent Assembly elected 18 other party officials and officials. For Vice-President is elected us zip code Professor Davor Škrlec, also a former us zip code member of the SDP and former Assistant Minister of Environmental Protection (resigned because of principled disagreements us zip code with then PPVRH included). For Vice-President is elected us zip code Božana Zadro, a lawyer, who KJMP has not had significant experience in politics or civil society. For the president of the Central Program Committee appointed Dr.. Vladimir Lay, sociologist (Social ecologist) and experienced civil-society activist, us zip code from the time he was the first president of Green Action, 1990 to 1994 ..
Noticeable that among elected officials, as well as among the founders of the hall, there are no young: almost no one under the age of 40. Overwhelmingly these are people us zip code with successful careers, the intellectuals, the middle class. Of the 19 officials, seven PhDs. It could be a problem in certain tendency towards elitism and failure to attract young voters and activists.
In the party, the basic principle, sustainable development, is expressed in the title. Exhibiting program, Holy stressed that he was "synergy" because much attention is taken on the three pillars of the synergy program walnut us zip code CDs: social justice, environmental and economic dimensions of development. This choice of words suggests that the party will avoid the discourse of social and political conflict. It is customary on the Croatian political scene.
Personally, I think that would be sharper performance, critical and negative reference, could attract more supporters. Supporters ekologizma and sustainability principles engage with a lot of reasons and arguments, the criticisms of the financial system, capitalism, industrialism, the principle of growth.
The parties of the left (and walnuts will be on the left side of the political spectrum) in other countries, parliamentary democracy mostly, if not about overcoming capitalism, at least on its restraint, or at least curbing financial capitalism (with the control and direction of industrial). The abbreviation "nut" is a marketing nice, but my impression is that for a significant mobilization and political articulation of social energies of many malcontents missing shots.
Admittedly, this is a problem and at the global level: social energy protest movements, which began its new round in the late 1990s in a series of anti-globalist protests, no sustained political articulation and significance.
I mentioned above, "the art of the impossible." Prominent values, principles, ideas, ideology, which is standing up (and ideology, as is well demonstrated by Karl Meinheim associated with utopias, this factor is ignored in the present analysis of political ideology). But the nice positive ideas may remain inconclusive, if not accompanied by a clear articulation of what the fight against
