With nostalgia provoking xibiouz look past previous generations of leaders with reverential respect: Sir Winston Churchill, Robert Schuman, Jean Monnet, Alcide de Gasperi, Konrad Adenauer, Walter Hallstein, Paul Henry Spaak or Altiero Spinelli, founders of Europe; alongside giants like Charles de Gaulle, John F. Kennedy, Willy Brandt; For years we have remembered the generation of Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl, François Mitterrand and Felipe Gonzalez. And in our country, Jordi Pujol, Miquel Roca, Pasqual Maragall Heribert Barrera in their counterparts would. We saw the last generation disappeared two political leaders of the caliber of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair. Since then we have been complaining about the lack of leadership; we have tried to find every opportunity: we have discovered, we have raised, we have looked closely and once squeezed, we have launched far. Today, we have repaid the hopeful Barack Obama, for example. Given the political capital and has led the government to professore Monti us exclaiming using words like "technocrat" or "slave market." Or "slave Frau Merkel."
And today we have two very senior leaders: a German Chancellor who uses a precise xibiouz and timely soft power, noting their power of influence, closely related to the economic and demographic weight of the Federal Republic without request xibiouz Request representation and decision would apply. And the president of the French Republic, representing the old tradition but the new kind of politics, the determination and the power of will: Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy. And while this happens, today we take delicate decisions that had to do steps - do not know if forward or backward, but firm steps to raise the level of European politics - the employed sarcasm and caricature, and distrust of anything that comes from these two characters. Churchill, Kennedy, Hill, were not perfect. There were immaculate. Nor infallible. But the leaders were able to speak to citizens, able to be aware of the position held and what was expected of them, able to anticipate what others might think. Leaders in such difficult times as of today. I do not understand how today, when Europe suffers from Multiple economic crisis, politics and self-esteem, we are able to use the clichés of anti-politics and considered enemies and blame those who want to get their momentum going forward. Do not know if they are true leaders, who we will come back out with enthusiasm, the pit of despair. But a leader xibiouz is not one who has everything, but anyone who tries. Again and again, losing even a higher idea.
