Poor Italy! Forced by surveys and newspapers and now a political strategy that does not stop at nothing to get passionate about women's panties Premier! A measure on the private morals of a man, on his personal weaknesses, his flaws, rather than on his government. Poor Italy! Forced by investigations of judges politicized and newspapers and state television to stir the mud of a story that has nothing to do with the real problems, things that would be good to discuss.
Poor Italians, some rubbish everywhere, even from the private conduct of the premier (which certainly would be different if it were better), but mainly those who have the interest to boost each other, to put it in joke, to talk about it every single day , to spread around the world. Italy's problems as if they were reduced to the past of Miss Ruby.
The strategy is clear: to divert attention from the general activity and reform agendas of government, important issues such as federalism, judicial reform and tax, because the dirty water is thrown out the baby. A strategy by bombers, kamikaze, a collective suicide.
Strana Italy, bigoted Italy, where sexual morality seems to count more than anything else. This, at least in the newspapers and television in the living, because it seems that the real country is on the same line. So here is those who are scandalized because the prime minister gives his mobile phone to the ladies who make nice with him, hoping to become papers, letters, Professorin and so on. And no one to stumble with the same vehemence if the politician gives his henchman to the cell that gives him the votes and getting the public place (at the expense of all) for themselves and their relatives. There is a substantial difference: Berlusconi pays his own pocket, while in Italy for decades, were placed in the public service character squalid, low-profile, of dubious moral qualities and work skills, only to perpetuate the power system, the damage the public budget, swelling the national debt.
At present, in Italy, if it were a normal country, the newspapers should speak exclusively investigation on waste in Campania, where there is an army of professionals with more than double of what it takes for the disruption that is visible to everyone. Now that's a moral issue, yes which is a real problem! Who ruled in Campania in all these years should be fired as headlines in all the papers. The deepening political broadcasts (the ones where we see the much vaunted freedom of the press) should be constantly on the piece, to dig there, in rubbish. An exemplary process, public, continuous disapproval of certain degenerate policy should be the center of attention, should give important signals, should put to shame the negative behavior to educate young people to do otherwise. Instead ... Instead
by Santoro gives way to a lady of dubious morality, spent by the doubts and questionable credibility. One, which believes neither the mother nor the ex-boyfriend, and even the judges themselves, the evening becomes a protagonist, the mouth of truth, the revelation of who knows what secrets. Except then be denied the next day by its own contradictions. Who will repair the wrong, idiocy, the harm done by the broadcast paid by the Italians?
better to speak of the macro to Bassolino, I understand. I understand the strategy, understand the meaning of the operation. And that is why I repeat and cry, poor Italy!
