A NEW political movement has emerged in Italy in the last few weeks, aiming to provide a focal point for the anti-austerity left in the build-up to the general election next spring.
This is particularly good news, since the alternative options range from neoliberal austerians to overtly xenophobic, racist, quasi-fascist formations, with no genuine left-of-centre party in the running.
Dubbed Potere al Popolo (Power to the People), the initiative emerged from an assembly in Rome on November 18 organised by groups associated with a social centre in Naples called Je So’ Pazzo, located in a former psychiatric unit.
