Italy - Pompeii crumbles, a symbol of Italy in a state cultural catastrophe
published an article by Le Monde of November 13, 2010 (translation from Italy from abroad):
Pompeii collapses, the symbol of an Italy in a state of cultural catastrophe
The House of the Gladiators and its frescoes that completely collapsed, Sunday, November 7, at Pompeii, in the absence of constant maintenance. The red carpet of the Rome Film Festival invaded by hundreds of demonstrators protesting the opening day, against the cuts to culture. The Museum of Modern Art in Naples, which can no longer pay the bills electricity and threatens to reduce the opening hours. The Opera House [of Rome] who had to reduce the contracts for technicians. All these events reveal "the state of cultural catastrophe" that threatens Italy today.
policy of budgetary austerity imposed by the government (29 billion euro in savings in 2011 and 2012) will result in a reduction of 58 million euro for the area of \u200b\u200bpromotion of cultural heritage, and more than 100 million for Fund for the Performing Arts (FUS). The situation is equally difficult for local authorities: they can not spend more than 20% of the money pledged in the past by the state for the organization of cultural events.
"These restrictions are a disaster," complains Umberto Croppi, Department of Culture of the Municipality of Rome. "A show like this year in Rome on Caravaggio, will no longer be possible. Think that has attracted 500,000 visitors, and yielded 30 million, of which EUR 15 million to the state. "But this does not convince the government:" The culture you do not eat "he says Giulio Tremonti, Minister of Economy of a country that has the largest number of sites (45) classified as Unesco.
Heart of Italy to protest against budget cuts, many museums, libraries and archaeological sites had been closed Friday, November 12, others were left open for free. On 22 November, actors, directors, screenwriters and film technicians are also called for a general strike by trade unions. "When a company is in trouble, focuses on the heart of its business and the heart of Italy is the culture," says Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Genoa, Andrea Ranieri. "Culture is not the icing on the cake is the cake," things worse, the President of the Association of Italian Municipalities.
The cake is badly reduced. Beyond the controversy, the whole management Italian cultural heritage to be involved. Its preservation and the economy resulting from it. "It is not just a house that collapsed in Pompeii" is concerned Guermandi Maria Pia, a member of our management team Italy, but the credibility of the country. We are no longer able to handle this. "
" Lack of money "
art and culture, which should be among the main resources of Italy, receiving little investment, when tourism is the 12% of GDP. By 7 billion euro in 2008, the year of the election of Silvio Berlusconi, the budget of the culture fell to 5 billion in 2010, 0.21% of the budget of the nation.
almost empty province Museums, archaeological sites that receive few visitors per day: Italy suffers from too much wealth and too little money to keep them in good condition and to attract the public. "The exploitation of the exceptional heritage seems far from ideal," concludes a report by the Ambrosetti Foundation, presented Nov. 12 as part of the event in 2010 Florence, dedicated to the heritage.
For its part, Sandro Bondi, minister of culture, struggles between the uncompromising Minister of Economy and cultural environments at its lowest. To express its opposition to budget cuts, has snubbed a Council of Ministers. But defending the spirit of reform, denouncing the "culture of care" that has prevailed until then. His plan? Multiply the public and private foundations to keep in good condition the major sites and museums along the lines of the Egyptian Museum in Turin.
But the collapse of the House of the Gladiators could lead to a fatal blow to the Minister of Culture. After unwisely said the site had collapsed because of lack of money to keep it, he accused the infiltration of water be the cause of this disaster, which is partly correct. "I resign if I am responsible," he repeated, Wednesday, November 10, in Parliament. The opposition should present a motion of no confidence in him who has now earned the nickname "Minister of cultural ills."

Italy from Abroad - How does Silvio Berlusconi to be still in power?
published an article by Guardian of November 16, 2010 (translation from Italy from abroad): How does
Silvio Berlusconi to be still in power?
It is becoming difficult to see what else needs to do Silvio Berlusconi, Italian Prime Minister, to be evicted from power. In many countries one of the dozens of scandals in which he was involved was sufficient to put an end to his political career. Each time a new scandal explodes, the more sordid and unbelievable the previous, do you think will not be able to get away again. May fail, hoping to survive a ruling that accused him of bribing a lawyer in exchange for false testimony, or to shake off the mountain of evidence to the effect that regularly organizes orgies with his escort for a fee in private residences and officers. And yet, there he was, still in power, still leader of one of the most important and rich culture of Europe. After all these years, is still totally amazing. I'm sure you'll
've heard all this, but it is worth remembering how many scandals he has survived so far. There were the endless corruption trials that have led to a confusing series of convictions and acquittals. For anyone who has followed the story of the acquisition of the publishing giant Mondadori, or David Mills case, there is more than enough smoke to suspect that there is also a fire with all the trimmings. Berlusconi was convicted of perjury for denying that he was part of a sinister right-wing Masonic lodge, P2 was not satisfied with the results taken by democratic politics.
There have been repeated rumors of incredible closeness to the Mafia during the 70 [Berlusconi] gave work to a stable boy named Vittorio Mangano, a mobster convicted of murder, drug trafficking and extortion. Berlusconi has never explained why a businessman in Milan as he had taken such a gentleman. It has never even responded satisfactorily to one of the greatest mysteries of his incredible career, who is providing huge amounts of capital needed for the construction of its residential properties in the suburbs of Milan almost 40 years ago? For a long time there was a suspicion that the money sent through a bank, the Bank Rasin, where his father worked and in which several Sicilian godfathers deposit their "savings". In fact, a of his closest allies, Marcello Dell'Utri, was recently sentenced to seven years of collusion with the Mafia. Several excellent repented have sprung up in recent years to claim that he saw Cosa Nostra Forza Italy, Berlusconi's party, just like the Trojan horse through which path to power. The fact that Berlusconi has won 100% of the seats allocated by elected in Sicily in 2001 says a lot about what the horse into the Cosa Nostra who chose to crawl.
And then, of course, there are prostitutes. The Italians are much less puritanical of us about certain things, and sex scandals as these are rare. The active sex life has become a Berlusconi political issue because it is not much sex, but because it is said to have told so many lies about what is going to make it look like Walter Mitty a servant of the truth [NdT character from a story by James Thurber known for his fantasy]. When it was photographed at the eighteenth birthday of Letizia, people began to wonder how he managed to finish with a teenager to attend the Prime Minister and why call him "Papi." Berlusconi's response was that his real father was an old friend, since he worked as a driver for Craxi, Berlusconi's political godfather during the 80 who fled into exile in Tunisia to escape allegations of corruption. The history of the driver, of course, was a lie. So how did he know it? Nobody knows.
It also seems that Berlusconi has offered to businessmen such as Bari Giampaolo Tarantino of the facilities in their business in exchange for the supply of women. Is said to have interfered with the judicial release from prison by a 17 year old Moroccan girl named Karima El-Mahroug - aka Ruby Heartbreaker - saying that it was the grandson of the Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak. Ruby described a game called Bunga Bunga orgiastic sex, a word that now no longer leave the Italian vocabulary. The future ex-wife of Mr Berlusconi said he attended and minors who need help. The divorce proceedings between Veronica Lario Berlusconi will end soon, allontanadolo even more by good advice and wise supervision of a spouse.
In the words of an opposition leader, "the problem now is not legal or political, but psychiatric." But all those stories pale to become insignificant when renewed allegations of adolescent girls who smoked drugs in Sardinia , transported there on Berlusconi's private jet. One of those interviewed by prosecutors said they had received from him € 10,000 in an envelope after sexual intercourse, and that he had also phoned her mother to ask her what she could do for her. A touch of class.
Until recently, the stories of sex did not appear able to tarnish the reputation of Berlusconi. Many Italians admire and envy his success with women, if you can call it when you pay 10,000 bucks each time. Many of its voters seem to appreciate the fact that their leader has blood boiling and that does not hide it. E 'denotes the fact that it was one of his magazines to highlight the first story about "Berlusconi and his harem," three years ago, seemed to know that having young girls on his knee would not only increase his approval ratings . But that attitude of indifference seems to have changed. E 'changed in part because it seems likely that he is repeatedly threatening the security and partly because his eye for women seems to determine who gets a job, others a contract, and also who goes into politics (as former showgirl Nicole Mine). And as far as the Italian electorate is relaxed about sex, it is able to recognize hypocrisy when they see it. Last week, as they were coming out the latest revelations, the government of Berlusconi announced that prostitution on the streets would become illegal. It 'was like a drunken headmaster had told their students that they could not drink Coca Cola.
But most importantly, attitudes have changed, because Italians admired style, charm and elegance, especially in the field of seduction, and Berlusconi has repeatedly appeared as nothing more than a depraved old feudal and a bigot and senile. Visiting L'Aquila after the earthquake, 18 months ago, turned to a city councilman, saying: "May I caress you?". He gives the impression that we truly believe in Droit de seigneur, the ritual of medieval origin, according to which the king had the first choice on the virgins of his kingdom. He said one of its female MPs. Berlusconi's defense for his weakness for female flesh ("better a passion for beautiful girls to be gay") was seen as a comment just plain stupid, vulgar and offensive that it would create a scandal in itself in any normal country.
But despite all that Berlusconi made, the crisis has reached a critical stage in part because of what did not. Residents of the Eagle are still living in the ruins of their homes 18 months after the terrible earthquake. Despite all its promises, Berlusconi's government has been almost completely absent. (E 'denotes the fact that the day of the earthquake of manufacturers have been recorded by investigators while laughing at the thought of how much money they could earn on the tragedy, and that the Head of Civil Protection, the man responsible for reconstruction, is said to have received "rehearse" late at night by a Brazilian masseuse provided by those manufacturers.)
Only this week a central part of Pompeii has fallen to the ground, yet another victim of the incompetence and neglect of government. It appears that parts of Italy are literally in ruins, while all that is concerned about the great leader is to mate. He has transformed his country into a joke (Italy has become the laughing stock of Europe): Even as the British comedy Harry and Paul and Bremner, Bird and Fortune have fixed space to tease. There are so many smoking guns that surround that often looks like a war zone. How the hell do I still be in power, and how the hell will the Italians to get rid of him?
The most obvious answer, which is also the most convincing, is the simple fact that he and his family own a large part of the Italian media: three national TV networks, a giant publishing house, a major newspaper, and dozens magazines. The real parliament, the true center of national debate, is the television talk show, and of course, Berlusconi is the owner of most of the studios. This concentration of media power in his hands means that any political struggle seems to be a race between a nuclear power and a child with a knife.
Whenever someone dares to criticize Berlusconi the dogs of war are unleashed, and is mounted a campaign to discredit him. Gianfranco Fini, considered as long as the dolphin of Berlusconi, was the victim of choice this summer. Just Fini has tried to distance himself from the accident policy of the Berlusconi government, was accused of financial impropriety in his real estate business in Monaco. Emma Marcegaglia, the young head of Confindustria and openly critical of Berlusconi, has suffered similar treatment. I too have been a victim. Years ago when I published a book furious tone for what Berlusconi was taking Italy on one of its magazines appeared a long article I called the "Pinocchio English", his scary minister for communications accused my text to be a mixture of "Marxism and fanaticism." As long as Berlusconi will continue to hold such a media power, nobody really dares to challenge the knife. To do so would, paradoxically, not political ambition, but political suicide.
E 'indicates that the most credible threats come from his own camp, because the center-left opposition is notoriously weak and divided. In the 12 years that I worked on the political news of the Italian center-left leaders and programs has changed so many times that it seems they are playing the game of musical chairs. The leaders were at that time - the ones that come to mind - Prodi, D'Alema, Amato, Rutelli and Fassino, yet Prodi, Veltroni and now Bersani. And while many people hate Berlusconi, many of may, I fear, are the center-left parties rather pathetic. The Northern League has had incredible success in rounding up the votes of the working class with that huge swaths in the north which traditionally belonged to the reliable base of the left.
It has become clear that if anyone ever politically impugnerà that knife, not even Berlusconi never fall on his own sword. Despite all its faults, is a fighter, stubborn, determined and never ready to surrender. When he passed five years in opposition between 1996 and 2001, spoke in biblical terms as its "Desert Crossing". But his messianic complex is such that he never doubted that there would be a political resurrection. The only time where I ever felt a grudging admiration for him was when, recently, he was thrown against a miniature of the cathedral of Milan, breaking a tooth and causing the release of a lot of blood. While the security men tried to take him away in a hurry, he stood up on the car and shouted defiantly at her attacker. This was a man of about 70 who was quite seriously injured, who would have thought that his life was in danger, but had the courage to confront his assailant. In politics is the same. Each attack is immediately opposite a counterattack. Will never surrender, never.
In many countries, the most widely used mechanism for removing this type of leader is to appeal to the national interest. Thus the disappearance of a politician can give a measure of dignity, and can give the feeling of making a big sacrifice in the interest of their beloved country. But even if Berlusconi really believe to be a kind of savior, not that kind of savior who believe in personal sacrifice. Nor, above all, believes in the national interest.
Almost nothing of what happened under his rule suggests that he has a notion of any interests. He spent nearly two decades to subdue the interests of their nation: trying to ruin the RAI, the state broadcaster and a rival of his own media empire Mediaset decriminalizing false accounting, shortening the statute of limitations, so that crimes should be prescribed in an incredibly fast. Every political decision, it would seem, it is useful to Silvio, not to the peninsula as a whole. The genius lies in being tragic Berlusconi apparently managed to convince millions of people that his fate is their fate, who fear becoming a victim of judicial persecution, or they feel too taxed, or that it considers that an alien is condescending critics of the Italian lifestyle, are subtly convinced that getting rid of Silvio would become vulnerable and isolated .
However many of his fanatical fans now admit that this is a burden. Every time you set foot on the international stage Italians hold their breath and wait humble themselves and their country in recent years has called Obama "tanned," the queen told him to stop making noise, has been waiting for the leaders NATO while his back to talk the phone, and made the gesture of pointing a gun at a journalist uneasy.
Anyway, the country can not seem to get rid of: Fini seems to have the balls to vote against him on an opposition motion of no confidence can not do this alone. Part of the problem is that anyone who is seen as responsible for having forced the use of elections and endangering the parliamentary approval of the 2011 budget in times of deep economic crisis, will be punished at the polls. The parliament is paralyzed. The government has lost three votes in one day last week. Yesterday, a week after asking for the resignation of Berlusconi, Fini's party, and Freedom's Future formally joined the coalition. But the government is still there, like a battered boxer who misses a coach to throw in the towel.
The size of the problem was explained to me recently during a conversation with a friendly lawyer in Rome. The debate was over, as happens with monotonous regularity on Berlusconi, and the lawyer told me to believe the assassination the only means by which the country could get rid of that individual. Since it is normally a pacifist I thought he was joking, but he was serious. He could see no other way through which the country could get rid of his prime minister. Ok, I do not like Berlusconi's like many others, but I much prefer it to the power that be a return to the bloodshed of the '70s. But when a Catholic lawyer and law-abiding middle class began to speak quite seriously of armed insurrection, you realize that there is something deeply wrong in the country, which reached a dangerous political impasse.
And so the country is in a stalemate, unable to continue with Berlusconi, but unable to replace it. Since he came to power in 1994 was, in the words of the late Indro Montanelli, "the boulder which paralyzes Italian politics." There is no political discourse that does not appoint. Everything revolves around him. You can not going out to dinner without his name come out. Every election since 1994 was virtually a referendum on him, with the result at the moment - he likes football analogies - 3 to 2 in favor of it. Get rid of him is not just a matter of elections or coup. He has already lost before and bounced back. The only way to free Italian politics from his immense and destructive influence that would have died, or that the country was subjected to an extensive and programmatic deBerlusconizzazione, an attempt to return to reality after 20 years of his brainwashing television. I fear that the former is more likely the latter but still seems much to come.

Years ago when I published a book furious tone for what Berlusconi was taking Italy on one of its magazines appeared a long article I called the "Pinocchio English", his scary minister for communications accused my text to be a mixture of "Marxism and fanaticism." As long as Berlusconi will continue to hold such a media power, nobody really dares to challenge the knife. To do so would, paradoxically, not political ambition, but political suicide.
E 'indicates that the most credible threats come from his own camp, because the center-left opposition is notoriously weak and divided. In the 12 years that I worked on the political news of the Italian center-left leaders and programs has changed so many times that it seems they are playing the game of musical chairs. The leaders were at that time - the ones that come to mind - Prodi, D'Alema, Amato, Rutelli and Fassino, yet Prodi, Veltroni and now Bersani. And while many people hate Berlusconi, many of may, I fear, are the center-left parties rather pathetic. The Northern League has had incredible success in rounding up the votes of the working class with that huge swaths in the north which traditionally belonged to the reliable base of the left.
It has become clear that if anyone ever politically impugnerà that knife, not even Berlusconi never fall on his own sword. Despite all its faults, is a fighter, stubborn, determined and never ready to surrender. When he passed five years in opposition between 1996 and 2001, spoke in biblical terms as its "Desert Crossing". But his messianic complex is such that he never doubted that there would be a political resurrection. The only time where I ever felt a grudging admiration for him was when, recently, he was thrown against a miniature of the cathedral of Milan, breaking a tooth and causing the release of a lot of blood. While the security men tried to take him away in a hurry, he stood up on the car and shouted defiantly at her attacker. This was a man of about 70 who was quite seriously injured, who would have thought that his life was in danger, but had the courage to confront his assailant. In politics is the same. Each attack is immediately opposite a counterattack. Will never surrender, never.
In many countries, the most widely used mechanism for removing this type of leader is to appeal to the national interest. Thus the disappearance of a politician can give a measure of dignity, and can give the feeling of making a big sacrifice in the interest of their beloved country. But even if Berlusconi really believe to be a kind of savior, not that kind of savior who believe in personal sacrifice. Nor, above all, believes in the national interest.
Almost nothing of what happened under his rule suggests that he has a notion of any interests. He spent nearly two decades to subdue the interests of their nation: trying to ruin the RAI, the state broadcaster and a rival of his own media empire Mediaset decriminalizing false accounting, shortening the statute of limitations, so that crimes should be prescribed in an incredibly fast. Every political decision, it would seem, it is useful to Silvio, not to the peninsula as a whole. The genius lies in being tragic Berlusconi apparently managed to convince millions of people that his fate is their fate, who fear becoming a victim of judicial persecution, or they feel too taxed, or that it considers that an alien is condescending critics of the Italian lifestyle, are subtly convinced that getting rid of Silvio would become vulnerable and isolated .
However many of his fanatical fans now admit that this is a burden. Every time you set foot on the international stage Italians hold their breath and wait humble themselves and their country in recent years has called Obama "tanned," the queen told him to stop making noise, has been waiting for the leaders NATO while his back to talk the phone, and made the gesture of pointing a gun at a journalist uneasy.
Anyway, the country can not seem to get rid of: Fini seems to have the balls to vote against him on an opposition motion of no confidence can not do this alone. Part of the problem is that anyone who is seen as responsible for having forced the use of elections and endangering the parliamentary approval of the 2011 budget in times of deep economic crisis, will be punished at the polls. The parliament is paralyzed. The government has lost three votes in one day last week. Yesterday, a week after asking for the resignation of Berlusconi, Fini's party, and Freedom's Future formally joined the coalition. But the government is still there, like a battered boxer who misses a coach to throw in the towel.
The size of the problem was explained to me recently during a conversation with a friendly lawyer in Rome. The debate was over, as happens with monotonous regularity on Berlusconi, and the lawyer told me to believe the assassination the only means by which the country could get rid of that individual. Since it is normally a pacifist I thought he was joking, but he was serious. He could see no other way through which the country could get rid of his prime minister. Ok, I do not like Berlusconi's like many others, but I much prefer it to the power that be a return to the bloodshed of the '70s. But when a Catholic lawyer and law-abiding middle class began to speak quite seriously of armed insurrection, you realize that there is something deeply wrong in the country, which reached a dangerous political impasse.
And so the country is in a stalemate, unable to continue with Berlusconi, but unable to replace it. Since he came to power in 1994 was, in the words of the late Indro Montanelli, "the boulder which paralyzes Italian politics." There is no political discourse that does not appoint. Everything revolves around him. You can not going out to dinner without his name come out. Every election since 1994 was virtually a referendum on him, with the result at the moment - he likes football analogies - 3 to 2 in favor of it. Get rid of him is not just a matter of elections or coup. He has already lost before and bounced back. The only way to free Italian politics from his immense and destructive influence that would have died, or that the country was subjected to an extensive and programmatic deBerlusconizzazione, an attempt to return to reality after 20 years of his brainwashing television. I fear that the former is more likely the latter but still seems much to come.

Italy from Abroad - Dangerous Liaisons of the Knight with the "Octopus"

Dangerous Liaisons with the Knight "Octopus"
For years the name of the Prime Minister is quoted regularly by people linked to the Cosa Nostra in Sicily. Silvio Berlusconi rejects all these allegations.
again embroiled in a sex scandal, after disclosures that would have intervened improperly to make free "Ruby", a teenager arrested by police for theft, Silvio Berlusconi is considered a victim of a conspiracy. Politically weakened by several months, mainly because of the economic crisis and dissent within his own coalition is particularly concerned after the recent new investigations subpoena by prosecutors in Rome that the suspect and his son, avoidance tax.
But Silvio Berlusconi's attention is also paid to Sicily, where for years his name is regularly quoted by people linked to the Cosa Nostra. Last August, Massimo Ciancimino, son of former Democratic mayor of Palermo Vito Ciancimino, convicted of involvement in Mafia, and his mother, said on the eve of the 2001 legislative Knight would send money to Bernardo Provenzano, the boss of bosses, then a fugitive. The objective was to secure the electoral support of the clan?
few weeks earlier, Massimo Ciancimino, himself under investigation for collusion with the Octopus, had argued that the Sicilian bosses "in the 70s and 80s, had made large investments in Edilnord," Knight of the construction company. "Silvio Berlusconi has never had direct or indirect contact with Vito Ciancimino († 2002), has strongly responded to his lawyer, Niccolo Ghedini.
But already last year of a turncoat mafia, Gaspare Spatuzza, had brought up the President of Council, supported his entry into politics in 1994 was backed by Octopus. During his deposition, in particular, said that Joseph Gravano, godfather of the Brancaccio neighborhood of Palermo, had confided to him in Rome in January of that year, Berlusconi had become a partner of Cosa Nostra "Graviano me the name of Berlusconi and told me that thanks to him and to our neighbor [Marcello Dell'Utri, Ed] we had put the country in his hands. "
Gaspare Spatuzza but did not provide many details and Joseph Gravano, now in jail, did not confirm the facts. "They are unfounded and defamatory allegations," replied the politicians close to the leader of the right reminiscent of the criminal record of his accusers. "Before joining the Justice Gaspare Spatuzza was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a priest's anti-mafia".
The fact remains that these statements have reopened questions about the Sicilian shadows that surrounded the rise in business and then in the policy of the Italian number one.

"As part of Cosa Nostra has been one of the few people able to manage relationships with industry", will explain later the judge Paolo Borsellino, who was assassinated in 1992. Vittorio Mangano will be sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in 2000.
As for Marcello Dell'Utri, who also was convicted in June by the Court of Appeal of Palermo to seven years in prison for "involvement in the mafia." At first instance judges had spoken a "concrete contribution, voluntary, conscious" to "consolidation and strengthening of Cosa Nostra, in particular through its relationship with the Fininvest group." Thanks to his agent Silvio Berlusconi had personally met the big boss from Palermo in 1974 Stefano Bontade. "In the end, Berlusconi said he was at our disposal," said the repentant Francesco Di Carlo, present at the meeting.

Some even suspect a liability behind the attacks of the Mafia in 1993 in Rome, Milan and Florence, which would serve to prepare for his entry into politics, as if the adventure of the candidate Silvio Berlusconi was nothing but a criminal history and a political phenomenon.
The head of government totally rejects any suspicion, bearing in mind each time that his government is the one who performed the largest number of arrests of men of honor. Yet stubbornly continues to defend his former right hand man Marcello Dell'Utri, he said the victim of politicized judges and public statements the godfather Vittorio Mangano - who has never called to account for any reduction of sentence - was "a hero".

Italy from Abroad - A comedy too long
Public an article in The Economist of November 4, 2010 (translation from Italy from abroad): A comedy
duration too long
Another week, another prediction that Silvio Berlusconi could leave. The settantaquattrenne Italian Prime Minister, elected for the first time sixteen years ago, is known to be an astute fighter. A new sex scandal, numerous rumors of mutiny by former allies, the threat of upcoming elections, statements that would have abused its position in calls made to the police for the release of a teenage girl suspected of theft: none of this will never be enough to oust the old obstinate lascivious. Italian air but there is now incontrovertible impression that you're starting at the end of an era.
Defenders of Berlusconi condemned the newspapers, the judiciary, foreigners and its old rival (and a time supporter) Gianfranco Fini, the difficulties encountered by their man. The prosecutor
Milan ruled that the police followed proper procedures in issuing the girl. But no one can deny that the support of voters Berlusconi has reached very low levels, or Fini control enough votes in Parliament to be able to bring down the government. Even some among the ranks of President of the Council are beginning to wonder if he has responsibility for such doversene go.
Strangely some of the older critics of Berlusconi are among those that move because it would not be wise. Support the thesis that he expressed this week that, in a time of uncertainty in the stock market and "nervousness" from the economic point of view, if his resignation to Italy would suffer serious harm, because enter into a period of political instability. They also note that, in part due to the ability of the Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti, Italy has remained immune from the concerns of the credit market that have undermined other countries such as Greece, Portugal and Ireland. This may not be the right time, they conclude, to shake the boat politics.
reasoning is tempting, but wrong. Because the stability that the continuation of the Berlusconi government offers is illusory. Each new scandal undermines his credibility and expose him (and incidentally his country) to a renewed scorn. By Fini ready to launch a new party and the Northern League, another coalition party, eager for new elections, the threat that the government collapse has become chronic. The market for debt can not worry about Italy now, because it avoided the banking and real estate bubbles that exploded elsewhere. But in the long term, the huge amount of Italian public debt, the pension and health burden of an aging population and the continued loss of competitiveness are the main concerns of the occasional bank failures.
enough of BURLESQUEONI
In truth, what Berlusconi has not stability but stagnation. Ben Far from driving skillfully Italy over the many threats it is facing, his government is almost totally paralyzed. The legal concerns and on the other kind of Berlusconi and his ministers have distracted him from the realization of those courageous reforms which are necessary to bring the economy into a state of welfare in the long term.
Even the first triumph of the government trumpeting so loudly after its formation in 2008, namely to remove the garbage in Naples and surrounding areas, has proved ephemeral: the stinking piles of garbage are back.
This newspaper opposed Berlusconi outset. Many Italians expressed their disagreement with us, convinced that only an outsider could make changes. Now they have nothing: just an elderly Lothario clinging to power. Radical reforms require a new leader, who is from the left, from the right or the center, as long as fighting partisan interests and fighting for the cause.
At the end of the opera "Pagliacci" by Leoncavallo, the clown Canio takes a step forward, after having stabbed and Silvio tells the audience: "The play is over." Now the curtain should fall well on the tragicomic reign of Silvio contemporary.

Italy from abroad - A step too
GetPublished de The Economist of November 4, 2010 (translation from Italy from abroad ):
A step too
It 's like in the past 18 months, the Italian public life had drawn a circular groove and unnecessary. In May 2009 the country was in fibrillation for the revelations of the mysterious friendship between his septuagenarian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, and a blonde 18 year old aspiring actress. A year and a half later, the attention is all for the relationship between Berlusconi to another 18 year old, a girl with jet black hair, the daughter of Moroccan immigrants.
Karima el-Mahorug, it seems that this is the His real name (she prefers Ruby Heartbreaker), began to dance in the world of politics on October 26 last year, when it was learned that she had been questioned by a court in Milan as part of an investigation based on facilitation of prostitution allegations involving three people close to Berlusconi. It turned out that even the el-Mahroug had told the magistrates feasts to which many women took part in the Premier villa near Milan. It seems that one of them has ended with an erotic game called "Bunga Bunga." The el-Mahroug, ran away from home and become a belly dancer, said that the billionaire leader of Italy gave her, of her own free will, after 7 thousand euro hearing his sad story.
The story goes far beyond mere allegations or the damage that is causing the image Berlusconi of Italy. Last May, police in Milan held in custody El-Mahroug suspected of theft, only to drop it even though it was still a minor and should be given in trust. The commissioner said the police had received a telephone call from Berlusconi and Prime Minister had announced to send an employee to take custody of the el-Mahroug. On November 2, the judge in Milan ruled that the police had followed the correct procedure.
The answers given so far by Berlusconi gave credit to worst assumptions, having said that what happened in his house are made private, which has no intention to change lifestyle and, anyway, you better be passionate about pretty girls rather than being gay - an observation that left stunned critics are more liberal, but that probably has been rejected even by the evil that even loyal to Berlusconi might be tempted by the charms even more reactionary of the Northern League, Berlusconi's ally in the center-right coalition.
The nerve had taken possession of the President of the Council during the first wave of sex scandals of 2009. Will it work this time? The controversies of the past year they knocked down against a strong government. Berlusconi Napoli had cleared the mountains of rubbish which had dropped the previous center-left government. He had managed to successfully merge his party with the former neo-fascist Gianfranco Fini, creating a right-wing movement, the People of Freedom (PDL). Italian banks had exceeded the credit crisis, without almost become touched, and many voters still believed the government claims that the Italian economy had behaved on the whole, far better than any other country in Europe. His popularity ratings were so high.
But things are different today. One of the latest polls stood at only 2.5 points below the PDL ahead of the main opposition group, the Democratic Party. Supporters of the PDL are adrift since last May, when the government, with an abrupt reversal, announced the need for a package of corrective measures to avoid painful that Italy did the same end of Greece.
The central government is paralyzed, repeatedly distracted from his duties by the financial scandals involving ministers and secretaries of Berlusconi and his attempts to procure immunity from legal process. Last month, the Corriere della Sera has calculated that, subject to routine ones, the Parliament passed new laws this year, only ten. Consob the body that regulates the market, he waited more than four months that the government appoints a new president. And, more ominously, the garbage has taken to accumulate on the streets of Naples.
Critics of Berlusconi reacted with anger last scandal unimaginable last year. And, more importantly, his supporters are much more subdued in its defense. The Minister for Equal Opportunity, Mara Carfagna, long the center of gossip to his relationship with Berlusconi, has deviated from what was stated by the Prime Minister about the gay. The same day, two gentlemen have given up leadership of the PDL. There is a widespread
current of thought in Italy that the scandal marked the beginning of the end. But it could be playing very long and difficult, as one who has the means to put offside Berlusconi is a politician who would derive less revenue from such a move. In July, Fini led a revolt that saw his followers break away from Berlusconi PDL thus depriving the majority in the House. Now they are designing a new party. But this is not yet ready to face elections and Fini knows that if the government did fall, it could be described by the prime minister as one who has betrayed the law, destabilizing the country at a time when Italy el ' Eurozone in general need a firm and safe driving.
Fini and his followers must decide Nov. 7 whether to quit or not by the government. If they do, they may choose to refer the decision in the hands of Parliament until they are ready to exclude it forever. But Berlusconi will they have the best? It may rather resign, arguing that the position of his former ally is no longer sustainable. And that could enable him to present himself in the eyes of the country in which role he likes best, that of the victim.
But there are risks. Rather than dissolve parliament and call new elections, President Giorgio Napolitano may decide for a multiparty transitional government. E even if the President pushed for new elections, polls show Berlusconi Fini freely only to become a prisoner of Umberto Bossi, leader of the Northern League.
Until you will overcome this impasse, Italy remains a country adrift, with a government unable to design policies that it needs (the most urgent of all, a strategy to boost economic competitiveness) . Last month Emma Marcegaglia, president of the association Confindustria, the industrialists said that Italy "can not afford" new elections. But even a government that has ceased to govern.

But it could be playing very long and difficult, as one who has the means to put offside Berlusconi is a politician who would derive less revenue from such a move. In July, Fini led a revolt that saw his followers break away from Berlusconi PDL thus depriving the majority in the House. Now they are designing a new party. But this is not yet ready to face elections and Fini knows that if the government did fall, it could be described by the prime minister as one who has betrayed the law, destabilizing the country at a time when Italy el ' Eurozone in general need a firm and safe driving.
Fini and his followers must decide Nov. 7 whether to quit or not by the government. If they do, they may choose to refer the decision in the hands of Parliament until they are ready to exclude it forever. But Berlusconi will they have the best? It may rather resign, arguing that the position of his former ally is no longer sustainable. And that could enable him to present himself in the eyes of the country in which role he likes best, that of the victim.
But there are risks. Rather than dissolve parliament and call new elections, President Giorgio Napolitano may decide for a multiparty transitional government. E even if the President pushed for new elections, polls show Berlusconi Fini freely only to become a prisoner of Umberto Bossi, leader of the Northern League.
Until you will overcome this impasse, Italy remains a country adrift, with a government unable to design policies that it needs (the most urgent of all, a strategy to boost economic competitiveness) . Last month Emma Marcegaglia, president of the association Confindustria, the industrialists said that Italy "can not afford" new elections. But even a government that has ceased to govern.

Italy from abroad - from Italy
an article in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung of November 9, 2010 (translation from Italy from abroad):
rejection of the patriarch
The system failed because of Berlusconi its creator. But it is his former ally that will settle the final blow.
The fact that missing only a few days or weeks to exit from the political scene of Silvio Berlusconi does not matter. Gianfranco Fini has put him up against the wall. They want to end the tragedy of an old patriarch and his shaky government and then to a party that is being torn apart by months.
The agony of the power of the Italian prime minister started later than last summer with the ouster of Fini, the cofounder of his party PDL. But Berlusconi was wrong about the accounts and reports of majority employee was discovered by his opponent. We are now faced with the end of an era, an era in which Berlusconi has formed and deformed, Italy.
had started with high hopes neophyte. When Berlusconi was taken into the political arena in 1994, was released by the aftermath of the old party system into a tailspin because of the scandals Tengentopoli. His enormous success as an entrepreneur seemed to many a guarantee, in the conduct of Italy. E 'was re-elected four times since then. His promises of reform, cutting red tape, tax reduction and his charisma to that of many hiding anything: legal problems, friendships with the mafia, who accompanied Mr Berlusconi from the start - as well as the dual function of more equivocal country's industrial magnate and head of government.
However, after his re-election two years ago, it was increasingly difficult to assess what seems an illusion. The populist Berlusconi wants Italians to believe, even to the rest of the world that has everything under control and that is totally dedicated to the good of Italy. The government has so far spent all its energies in seeking legislative solutions to protect the prime minister against its processes.
Fini has reached the point: the pretext "of doing government" is actually "the government to pretend that ...". Entrepreneurs, workers, families and the young generation have been abandoned by their political needs and their legitimate concerns. And express it in an ever more obvious but received no reply.
not only failed the government, but also the design of the PDL. Since the merger of the former AN Fini and Berlusconi's Forza Italy would have to create a new one right, can give life to the "liberal revolution". Fini does not see no future for this party. The PDL has become a party that revolves solely around the person of Berlusconi and the maintenance of its power at any cost. The PDL is a group of people claiming to Berlusconi, let themselves be ejected from the system that benefits. There is no democracy inside, decisions to take one and only Berlusconi.
Fini is jointly responsible
The 74enne wants to steer in a patriarchal not only the PDL, as previously did with his exploits, but also the state. He does not want to understand that a parliamentary democracy operates by different rules than those of a company. What his critics can not simply be thrown out, but must accept the exchange of opinions with others. Berlusconi did not hardly ever goes to Parliament. This is not the only show of contempt and breach of the institutions. What is justice or the constitution, the prime minister as an obstacle to its trade.
Fini will not stand by and watch everything. With his Future Movement and Freedom, which soon diventera'un party, is trying to break through a door that allows him to get out of a stagnant system. Purposes and be away from the model of party leader based on one person, wants to get out of what in Italy is called the leader. It seems that Fini wants to create a space for a modern Liberal Party center-right. A centrist political force of the bourgeoisie on the model of a party like the CDU and oriented towards Europe. Fini, in all cases expressed a clear rejection of the policy of the Northern League, selfish, federalist and hostile to emigrants, coalition partner of Berlusconi
Just as uncertain is the existence of a PDL without Berlusconi, is also currently unclear whether Fini manage to assert itself over time as new elections. The elections will be held probably in the next few months, no matter if in the meantime there will be a government reshuffle or a so-called caretaker government of transition.
What Berlusconi Italians left is a dangerous political discontent and electoral mainly caused by its continuous shooting at zero against the institutions of the state. According to a recent survey by the European Parliament is the only institution that has not lost confidence in the Italians.
Fini would be wrong to celebrate as the savior of Italy. If your design will work remains to be seen. Fini Berlusconi has supported for 16 years and its policy and is jointly responsible for the current situation in the country. Maybe now the system has dealt the decisive blow to Berlusconi. The system Berlusconi has failed but because of its creator.

rejection of the Patriarch 'Overseas - Fini Berlusconi ignored the ultimatum in a climate of crisis

Berlusconi Fini ignores the ultimatum in a climate of crisis
The Northern League maintains its support Government to a hovering
The collapse of three days ago with the famous House of the Gladiators at Pompeii "has become the metaphor that describes Italy after 17 years of Berlusconi," according to the governor of Puglia Nichi Vendola. The same President Giorgio Napolitano, has described the collapse of this age-old building in which they trained athletes "a disgrace to the country."
The data and the climate seem to confirm this general feeling of decline. Pursued by sex scandals and the growing internal division, the government headed by Silvio Berlusconi seems about to fall apart. The bishops, ironclad Berlusconi's allies, see it that way. The President of the Episcopal Conference Angelo Bagnasco, said yesterday: "We are troubled for this while the country seems stuck Italy stunned and looks around bewildered."
In the words of the covenant of Berlusconi and President of the Chamber of Deputies Gianfranco Fini, the executive "should not last a minute longer." In reference to the terms of Berlusconi, who often said that its not is a government of talk but of doing, Fini said: "Now is the Government to show that all is well." His ultimatum on Sunday, when he demanded the resignation of Prime Minister within 48 hours, brought the term to a point of no return.
Berlusconi ally responded to a motion of no confidence in Parliament, if he dares. Yesterday, the Prime Minister met with the leadership of the Northern League groped to find a way out of crisis. Umberto Bossi, leader of the Northern League, has brought the wrath of the bases of the movement, which saw them close the forum on the Internet for the tone of bitter criticism of the private life of the head of government. Exit, the delivery was the same as always: "The government goes on."
The Northern League decided yesterday to continue his alliance with the government until they have been completed measures on fiscal federalism, then to try to anticipate the election. But that decision depends on Napolitano, who yesterday warned that the Government must last at least until the finance is approved.
While unemployment continues to rise, the fall in the south of Pompeii can cost way to Culture Minister Sandro Bondi. It was a blow to the image similar to that of the garbage crisis in Naples and Vesuvius. In Brescia, six African immigrants have spent a week on a crane to 36 meters to claim the right to be regularized, and yesterday, the police evacuated the base camp. In response, in Milan, another group of Africans rose up a chimney.
is not easy to predict what will happen or when. According to Massimo Giannini, La Repubblica, "Fini Berlusconi has put in front of his April 25, 1945 the day that Italians rebelled against Benito Mussolini Nazi occupation. For the analyst Giancarlo Santalmassi "the situation is desperate, but in these cases, the Italian creativity is second to none. Berlusconi will try anything not to go home. It may even groped a coup modern forcing a crisis of government to replace Finian with people of his party, which would be prohibited by the Constitution. "
