Last time I did not vote. For the Italian elections course. Italian living in the Netherlands as I might to the Italian elections. I then received the ballot in the mailbox. I then wrote a piece about the Italian elections on wereldjournalisten.nl .
For the European elections I was at the Italian Consulate in Amsterdam to vote. I believe a little bit in Europe, so I did go do my duty. But once in the Consulate, I was sent away. I got to the officials present there do not vote. According to them I was an "option holder" so anyone who has ever chosen for the Dutch to vote for candidates. I could not really remember that option, but then the Consulate is power and that always has the last word.
I'm Italian, but I am also European. I feel especially Amsterdam. Luckily I the municipal elections of Amsterdam votes. And so do I.. I can not for the Dutch national elections votes. Europeans are again this is not enough. Even 25 years living in the Netherlands is not enough. You must have the nationality. But this is a different story.
states. I start all this story around the concept of "democracy" to find a little tiring. On the one hand there is the theory: the power of the people, the people elect their own representatives in total freedom. On the other hand there is the reality: the little rules and regulations, the power of politicians and parties, the power of money and populism surrounding the campaign. And how many represent these people (read politicians) and organizations (ie parties) really me?
With all this in my mind I present on Sunday, May 23 with Quelli di Astaroth Demo Di Democrat. Sense and nonsense of the sacred, any superior system that is called democracy and that no one dares to criticize. The system that the West wants to export worldwide.
Demo Di Democrat is a performance, a theatrical moment. But here is the philosophy of theater, a Theatre Philosophique. En bij de philosophies hoort het debat . Het publiek zal met de ACTEURS over de Democratie en discussiëren debatteren . En dit hoort ook bij de Democratie, toch?

The last time I did not vote. I'm talking about the Italian general election course. As an Italian resident in the Netherlands can participate in the Italian elections. It's simple: the folder election I received in the mail. For the occasion I wrote a little article on all this great event on Wereldjournalisten.nl .
For the latest European elections could vote at the consulate in Amsterdam. I think a little more 'in Europe, so I decided to go do my duty. But once arrived at the consulate were kicked out. The polls on the spot told me that I could not vote. According to them was an "opting", ie one that at some time had chosen to vote for a candidate Netherlands. I really can not remember that option, but what? The Consulate is power and power always has the last word.
I am Italian, but they are also European citizens. Above all, I am a citizen of Amsterdam. Fortunately, I vote for the municipal Amsterdam . And I'm sure. I can not vote in Dutch elections . For this purpose, being a European citizen is not enough. Even having lived 25 years in the Netherlands is not enough. You have to have citizenship. But that's another story.
What a mess. All of these stories around the concept of democracy begin to tire a bit '. On the one hand there is the theory: the power of the people, people choose their representatives in full freedom. Secondly there is the reality: rules, and simple rules governing the power of politicians and parties, the power of money and populism when it comes to election campaigns. And then, what I really feel represented by these people (read politicians) and from these organizations (see left)?
Aware of this, Sunday, May 23 present Demo Of Democracy with Those of Astaroth . Sense and nonsense of that one, untouchable and superior system called democracy. That system that the West want to export anywhere in the world.
Demo Of Democracy is a representation, a moment of drama. But in this case, the theater becomes a philosophy, a Theatre Philosophique. And Filosofia si il accompagna dibattito . Il pubblico potrà dunque dibattere e con gli attori sulla discuss Democrat. E tutto questo è molto Democratico. Oh no?
