Colaprico

Cinzia Colaprico, working for Electrolux in Forlì, a candidate in European elections in the northeastern district of anticapitalist List (PRC-PDCI).

Colaprico Cynthia, she's the only candidate working in the district, today, in your opinion, what contribution more workers can give a candidate, that problems such as unemployment compensation, workplace safety, risk of unemployment and defense rights of workers who live there and know them personally and not by hearsay?

R. The first problem is the scarcity of workers in the institutions, and especially workers with a history of representation in the workplace. Field training, which when done with consistency and honesty, allows for much more clear today what the working class, and how try to represent it. Represent the workers, their condition, their needs, in the places currently appointed to decide is a necessity. From time workers the margins of political life and parties and this is a mistake. So not enough to be in institutions, if there is a link and you continue to build conditions and protest movement, also starting from the workplace, those places become sterile chatter influenced by various lobby of the capitalist system. You need to bring voice and representation in all places today to denounce what is really a factory, precarious employment, dismissal, job insecurity, poverty while struggling every day. A worker elected institutions must beat reality in the face to those who in those places pretending not to know it and continue to organize workers to build the conditions for change.

She is a candidate with the list anticapitalist sponsored by PRC and the PDCI, according to her why while it was possible to build this list to European unity, it was not possible in most elections?

R. Why the EU is the barrier, and this apparently without any possibility of reaching a quorum was unthinkable. In the local elections and other mechanisms are not being that necessity is compelling interests prevail. However I believe that to achieve the goal of a strong anti-capitalist and communist mass there is a need for a long crossing pass that for a change of managers. In this sense the need to confirm the commitment of workers with experience of struggle consistent representation in political parties and institutions.

you carry out union activities in FIOM as regional manager and RSU. In your opinion would be desirable for the coordination of workers employed by the FIOM CGIL trade union base? What do you think has so far hampered the search for this unit and how it might arrive?

R. Fiom , as well as large organizations representation has many contradictions within it, including consistency between theory and practice, especially in the territories and in the bargain. But it is also an 'important positive anomaly, taken as a whole, in the Italian trade union landscape. The idiosyncrasies, different structure, history, often believe that there is lack of communication between committees of the base, base unions and trade unions as Fiom. But if you exceed the levels "bureaucratic", reflection on the conditions on it deprives many differences, that is why forms of coordination are helpful. The road to arrive to join forces and continue to build, to be on merit and experience to live among the workers.

What do you think of how many of the politicians and trade unionists, I think we can do at the same time the interests of workers and the interests of masters?

R. Them wrong. I owners do not think so!

For several months the P-CARC and other forces have launched the slogan "Building a Government of People's Bloc" a government formed and supported by labor organizations and popular that exist in our country ( http://www.carc.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=327:nessuna-azienda-deve-essere-chiusa-nessun-lavoratore-deve be-fired-& catid = 1: press-and-flyers & Itemid = 3 ), what do you think about it?

R. In my experience, and accept a certain ignorance on the subject, for the experience that I live every day in factory assembly lines, I think I can say that they are not ripe for a historic political solution of this nature. It is true that you must be ready to changes when they arrive, but today is not a solution should be understood by the workers that the protagonists.

the end of last April, as reported on the site of the observatory on the suppression of PRC (http://www.osservatoriorepressione.org), Reggio Emilia, the police opened fire on the car of some company, "guilty" of having made a written against the house when Pound, what do you think of this episode? What do you think in general the climate of repression that is advancing in Italy?

R. The country is regressing in terms of rights, freedom and democracy, and that these regressions lead to the violent and repressive authoritarianism is evident. The terrible fact is framed in this context and in the near certainty of impunity for those committing it. Even this requires building a strong anti-capitalist and communist resistance. To do so, evidence from the best there is. I start by working in this direction by working where repression, violation of rights and dignity are daily bread, and where strength is built day by day, even with the fight or not easy to do nor to be proclaimed. But as soon as you can the is implemented in practice. We called strike and pointed without the consent of the unions.

What do you think if CARC and P-list to the Communist bloc would give an indication of the popular vote for her in the forthcoming European?

R. , would be a useful thing for the workers.
