My writing has followed my life pretty closely for so many years that I feel a bit awkward the last month or so. Now that I am organizing an alternative to politics as usual in Motovun, I cannot write about everything I am doing because everyone can read my ruminations about life on the World Wide Web. Including my political adversaries, of course, some of whom do visit my Residua website regularly enough, as witnessed by my two ongoing court cases for libel. At least for the time being, they should know as little as possible about the nitty-gritty of preparations for the founding assembly of the Motovun branch of the Green Party – Green Alternative, a marginal Istrian party concerned with green issues and seated in Pula, which will take place in my house this Saturday. In a place as tiny as Motovun, every vote counts. And every single individual carries so many votes of his or her family members. One way or another, this translates into so many stories left untold. And so many blank pages in my Residua. Politics!
