Giulio Tremonti

Why wTremonti.com?
wTremonti.com is an "instant site" created to express support and affection to a great man, Giulio Tremonti, after he was "expelled" in the night between the 2nd and the 3rd of July 2004. In fact, he "had" to resign due to the "raison d'État". This episode is particularly worrying because it is a clear signal of Berlusconi's government weakening reformist and "liberal-revolutionary" resolve. We were so impressed by this unexpected event that we felt a strong desire to speak up and engage ourselves in supporting those values and that political approach so well embodied by Giulio Tremonti. We decided to create and promote an online space where whoever has got similar beliefs and feels the same urge to "do something", can find a comfortable harbour of refuge and a stimulating, free place of debate.

Who are the promoters of this site?
This site is promoted by Pressione.Nord.Liberale/2006, a group established in order to let the Government hear the liberal voice of the North. After the "Tremonti's affaire", we would like Silvio Berlusconi to realize that he is not alone, that the "Northern Axis" is still strong, that in the most dynamic and developed part of the country there is a kind of "civil society" completely different than the one made famous by the radical left-wing "Jacobin" groups, fake cryptocommunist "liberals", failed and nostalgic revolutionaries from the '60s and the '70s, now retired school teachers who believe they can be young again if they fight the "power" of "evil" Silvio Berlusconi and his liberist-liberal program.
2006 is our goal: we want liberal ideas and opinions to prevail within the "Casa delle libertà" government coalition, considering that 2006 Political Polls are in view. We want to support those men and women with a strong reformist and liberal-revolutionary position. We are bound to fight those ungrateful little men who, within the government coalition, represent the clientelistic way to manage public resources: political favours at public expense in exchange for votes from the South, the old way Italy was ruled for some 50 years by the majority of Christian Democrats, often supported by the State-worshippers Communists.

Which are your goals?
Our first, simple goal is to gather a lot of messages to support and encourage Giulio Tremonti. Soon we are going to publish a new web site, Pressione.Nord.Liberale/2006 (www.pressionenordliberale.com), a rich online magazine where you will find our group's cultural "manifesto", discussion forums, articles and comments, reviews of books, TV programs and web sites and a lot of political gossip. We would also like to promote "offline" events and projects such as public meetings, merchandise lines, papers and so on.

Who stays behind you?
Karl Popper said to beware of people indulging in "conspiracy theories of society". Not a very successful teaching, especially in Italy.
We will make it very clear. "Behind" wTremonti.com and Pressione.Nord.Liberale/2006 there are no "Big Brothers", nor there are strange lobbies or mysterious powers. Instead, our project originated in the most natural and unexpected way from a group of people feeling the urge to "do something" and spread the word effectively thanks to the power of the Web.
The promoters of this site, who of course have clear and well recognizable opinions about society and politics, are not connected in any way with parties, clubs, political or governative organizations, nor they were asked to start this project by Mr Tremonti, Mr Berlusconi or by people connected to them in some way. Communists and their post-Christian-Democrat friends are warned: we are a group of free people.

But do you like any opinion leader?
Of course we do, we are not aspiring to "autoreferentiality". In the fields of journalism and culture we like those open-minded opinion leaders who bravely defend their position, express their ideas with a clear, original style and do not fear to speak against their party, when necessary.
Here are some examples. Giuliano Ferrara, don Gianni Baget Bozzo, Vittorio Sgarbi, Paolo Guzzanti, Vittorio Feltri, Maurizio Belpietro, Giordano Bruno Guerri, Mario Giordano, Paolo Liguori, Carlo Rossella, Alessandro Cecchi Paone and also Oriana Fallaci, Magdi Allam, Edward Luttwak, Oscar Giannino, the former Italian president Francesco "gattosardo" Cossiga (!) and many others. Last but not least, thanks to Roberto D'Agostino for the incredible amount of information and political gossip he gives to us daily through his famous web site, dagospia.com.

What can we do now, practically?
You can show your support to Giulio Tremonti by posting a message into our "instant guestbook".
You may also write to us if you want to support our project, Pressione.Nord.Liberale/2006, and become a member of this group. You will not be asked anything else but a strong liberal belief.
