Berlusconi IV is born. My considerations

I never thought that my thirst for justice and the need to continue what was the fight against corrupt politicians started by Antonio di Pietro and other judges all over Italy, would have been quenched by a sort of National Unity Parliament. I do not say government, because the new Italian government is composed only by members of the winning coalition and the speakers of the two houses of Parliament come from the winning coalition.

Mr. Berlusconi's speech at the Houses has been moderated and witty.
Seems like thanks to Veltroni, Berlusconi has lost his usual paranoia about communists and thinks that now he can be a moderated.
During the beginning electoral campaign he was very relaxed, until he saw that the Democratic Party started gaining some ground, then he started with the usual communist palaver and accusing the former government of having monopolised the Institutions having the first three figures of the State a past (or present) in Communist Party or Trade Unionist, or both. Napolitano, the Head of State, was seen as a Communist and not someone who was communist.

Now, the honey moon has started and Berlusconi seems to be in love with Napolitano and seems like he was someone from his party. Words of appreciation to Napolitano are heard every single day. Even the Northern League boss, Bossi, has declared that Napolitano and him are good friends. Anyway, it seems like the new government is honeymooning with the country and part of the opposition. In a country where we are used to see personal attacks every day, some people seem, all of a sudden, to have evolved to a more European standard. Is it really due to the fact that there are less parties represented in Parliament? I frankly think that the main reason is due to the fact that the anti political spirit in Italy is growing and the vote to Parties like the Northern League and the Di Pietro Justice movement are a proof of people being fed up. What I fear is the absence of a true opposition but, at the same time, I feel that this government has all chances of doing a good job in the interest of the countries... Doe this mean that I am confident? Yes and No. Yes, that they will come with some proposals to change the country. No, because the true opposition, those 3 million people that are still left wing hardliners will protest to every single decision the government will take, paralysing the country and creating problems to our finances.


The only true opposition party in the Parliament is now Di Pietro's Party. He has declared that he doesn't trust Berlusconi and that Veltroni is far too lenient towards his political agenda. This is true but, Dear Tonino di Pietro, let's stop it once and for all looking at the past. I am the first one to want people in jail but this is because I got no other special needs to satisfy at the moment. People in Italy are starving and this is not a joke. People need money, safety, work and good services. Even the leaders of the French Revolution were killed by the people that hailed them during the turmoils. please get real and, yes, fight for a "clean" country, but look forward and not backwards.
