Stories and News No. 311 D'Alema and Berlusconi. Berlusconi and D'Alema. Do you know something about the bicameral in 1997? It was a horrible so much prophetic type of mess between Mr. D'Alema and Berlusconi, proposed by the former. As time goes on, isn’t it? That is, time passes, but the thirst for mess-ups by the two brilliant statesmen is never satisfied. In my humble opinion it is an absolutely not random fact that we have today two similar interventions on Italy press. D’Alema, current president of Copasir, in an interview with La Repubblica , in anticipation of early elections makes an appeal to an ideal grid, which comprehends Democratic Party Fini and Casini’s Terzo Polo, the Italy of Values and the radical left, proposing to voters a government of national responsibility . At the same time, Silvio, the nephew of Mubarak’s best friend, writes a letter to the Corriere della Sera and proposes to the leader of the Democratic Party Bersani a bipartisan plan for the...

Stories and News No. 220 First of all I make a premise that probably sums up the rest of the post. As if written with fire, I would like particularly to point out that the show of Fini, Finiani and C., singing the next Future forgetting, indeed, erasing recent and distant past, here on this Blog, will ever be refused. What? I always criticize the Left Democrats before and then the Democratic Party for saving Berlusconi from the trials and making earn power since his descent into the political field. Can I now applaud those who until yesterday were enriching at the side of Silvio?! Yesterday… They are still there, in the majority... I my opinion, a repentant person may change his mind, but is always a repentant and never will be a hero. So, what are we talking about? The end of the PDL, that's what. It’s exactly what Fini said. And here is how aggressive Bersani’s - the head of the largest opposition party, attack to the opponent on the ropes was: "The problem is that the coun...

Stories and News No. 214 I think that recent days Berlusconi’s People of Freedom image has become shabby and shameful to the most strong of his supporters too. He will never admit it in public and in the style of his loved leader he will point out all the usual plot of the communist judiciary. However, I am convinced that within himself, perhaps in the evening when he’ll put the light off before going to sleep, will have a very clear perception of what kind of people he voted. This morning I read about ten thousand pages of documents on a true lodge, a secret business committee created for rule the State, a sort of P3. Through these investigations, after the name of the usual Denis Verdini, we have the other habitué Marcello Dell'Utri and the Economy Undersecretary Nicholas Cosentino. While the news that Berlusconi has asked foreign ambassadors he met to bring beautiful girls in Italy makes the usual tour of the world, this is my question: if the PDL is literally falling down, wha...

Stories and News No. 141 Aside from the chitchat, after the 2010 regional elections the Italian Democratic Party lost 4 regions: Campania, Calabria, Piemonte and Lazio. PD has lost without any misunderstanding. Although Berlusconi and his fourth government have once again made everything to give reasons for any opposition worthy of this name to convince people not to vote for them, the Democratic Party has lost. That’s not new and there are many theories about it. The real mysterious objects are its supporters… The Story: Dear PD voters, who are you? No, I’m serious: who are you really? Many call you Centre Left people, but it’s a convention, isn’t it? Well, because you are not on Centre. In Lazio your candidate was Emma Bonino. Tell me now how a Centre person – that here means Catholic - may vote for a Radical politician. You are not even on the Left. Let's be honest once and for all. Being Left means too many things not appropriate for you. A Leftist cannot vote a party where ...

Stories and News No. 106 The Story: I could say that... I could say that words are important and that not Rai shut the mouths of political talk shows, but the People of Freedom did. Because, if when the RAI Supervision Commission ( Commissione di vigilanza ) has decided to close political TV programs during the thirty days before regional elections the Democratic Party had left in protest, it means that the responsibility is all of the PDL , with the help the inevitable tightrope ‘Christian’ UDC . I could say that this is yet another example of the seriousness of the conflict of interest , since Berlusconi’s Mediaset will continue to transmit its political shows. I could say that it is really offensive to defend the PDL, stating that with near to Left talks shows like Annozero , even Centre Right friendly program, as Porta a Porta , will be closed, because the former has a TV share much larger than the latter. I could say this, but I will not, because it is obvious. The useles...

Original post Clemente Mastella is more than any other politician a point of intersection between the italian government and its opposition. Briefly explaining to a foreigner how the politics of my country works, it would be easy to suggest a careful study of former Ceppaloni mayor career. Mastella is the centre , in its worst meaning. Mastella is ever in the middle , but at that point where you are anywhere or nowhere, depending on where it convenes more. Mastella is half way to everywhere that matters, but never closes enough to get the slightest accountability. In the last years, Mastella has moved from one centre to the other one , proving with his story which is the true difference between The People of Freedom and the Democratic Party . Obviously, if there is one… Here is the dance: From 1976 to 1994 : Christian Democracy , centre-left party. From 1994 to 1998 : CCD , centre-right party. In 1998 : CDR , centre-right party. In 1998 : UDR , centre-left party...

Original post Time passes and the distance between Italian politicians and the real world visibly increases. Sorry, we're not in these conditions, but I think the comparison is appropriate: imagine a sinking ship, with the water growing from the hold. The first to succumb, as in the famous Titanic, are ever the poorest, when their cries are ignored by the lucky ones above. Well, if our country was that boat, you can be sure that our politicians, those who decide our fate, would be in the highest point. But they are not like other passengers. They are not just rich travellers who enjoy the benefits of the good ticket position. They are the ones that should remedy the flaw. They are the ones who should have avoided the accident. We pay them for this… Here is proof of what I say. In the real world, in Sicily, precisely in Messina, the authorities continue to find dead bodies , even today. In the real world, in Abruzzo , the temperature has reached the zero and there are a...

Original version .  Stories and News No. 55 : The Story : October, 2009. It is the end of the Bad guy and enemies are everywhere. They are behind him, inevitably behind him. They are before him, today there are so many of them before him. Yesterday they were less. They are on the right, especially on the right. Banally, you can find them on the left, less than what you think... Here we go, the Constitutional Court issued its decision. All is finished. The evil is about to be eradicated. The cancer will be destroyed. The monster that has inflicted suffering to our land for at least fifteen years is finally defeated. Certainly, part of the country rejoices. They are decent people, persons with an adult social conscience, those who have never had compromises with their fundamental principles. Unfortunately, they are not so many . Otherwise, we would have a different situation now. This is the true reality. And the truth is that after the news of the death...
