published an article by El País, 31 January 2011 (translation from Italy from abroad):
Masks
"Italy is a country left and ridiculous." In September 1975, when the sociologists considered the political laboratory of Europe and the progressive forces, including those in Spain, saw its civil society as a role model, Pier Paolo Pasolini wrote these words. "His comic masks are powerful, slightly stained with blood. But the Italian citizens are no different. " Pasolini, regarded by his compatriots, even some leftist, an intellectual unpleasant because of the thin pessimism of his views, pointed out two culprits: the school and television, broadcast complicit in having an ideology of hedonism devoid of human values and humanists.
35 years later, Berlusconi embodies Pasolini's vision of reality with such skill, as if he were playing the main role in the posthumous artist. The dyed hair and face covered with makeup, her desperate fanfare seducer of youth senile flying every day his record of indecency without many of his fellow citizens find reason to stop celebrating her antics.
not want to be unpleasant, but Berlusconi seems more sinister than that ridiculous. To prove that the sociologists of the seventies were right when they warned that the Italian company anticipated the evolution of the rest of the continent, just contemplate the masks of the people's princess and her court of magnitude. Below is a vulgar and ugly face that no one wants to see. It's the magic of television. When the trivial representation of cannibalism will cease to be a pleasant pastime to enjoy with your family, then perhaps its star will be transferred to the seats of government and there will be someone who will say that is pure democracy. Should prepare for the worst, read Pasolini.
