The scandal shocked more ad personam laws, to applause from the senators close to the 'Ndrangheta, a minister who attacks a publicist .. Consequences? No: now we have lost the power of indignation
summarize all laws ad personam, with personas, such Castamir, for mafiam, for aziendas and "to" this or that interest or private special for my new book, I I counted over a hundred in the last 15 years. And the aftertaste of disgust I have left in my mouth, I wondered quinidici years ago and how I reacted how I react now faced with a disgrace: so with the utmost indignation, now with a mixture of resignation and nausea. That has a name only: addictive. It 's impossible to stay angry for a long time later. After a while, 'you made the call. Thus, paradoxically, the more shame as the debts are: the more you do, the more you are safe. If
Craxi in 1992 had proposed a law that would exempt them from participating in its processes under a "legal impediment" long 18 months under its own self, millions of Italians to the left and right would be taken to the streets and told 'would have prevented (so much so that preferred to cut and run and flee in Hammamet).
The other day, when the majority approved the law to Silvium, the thirty-eighth of the series, virtually nothing has happened, apart from a few dozen children dressed in purple square and a few sit-in and sign of the opposition in Parliament. In this terrifying
"Second Republic" we have seen and heard so many and such that we are ready to digest who knows how many more without even raising an eyebrow. The Defence Minister, Ignazio La Russa, threatening the judges have to decide on the electoral irregular saying that "if we do not give wrong answer for our actions." Then, as no one says anything, puts his hands on a publicist who disturbs the idyllic climate of the press conference of Prime Minister. More that La Russa, the brawl.
When it was discovered that the PDL Senator Nicholas Jerome, in addition to having stacked the deck to get elected while residing abroad in Italy, was the man of the 'Ndrangheta in Parliament, the same center-right allies tore their clothes and Berlusconi himself, going against nature, called it "indefensible." But then, when the senator and the scent of illegal gangs have left the Senate, from the banks of the center started a thunderous applause, as if to say, poor fellow, had all of us, but made himself caught.
In the same day, speaking at the congress of the UIL, Economy Minister Giulio Tremonti said: "When you meet a councilor, you are not clear if an assessor or a racketeer. "It was thought that his words would have provoked a hornet's nest of controversy, but did not mention it no one, not even one of the hundreds of advisers of his party. Meanwhile, his undersecretary Nicola Cosentino, a term of catch leaning on his head and recently confirmed by the Supreme Court, remains at the foot 'firmly in place. And Senator Marcello Dell'Utri, accused of Mafia, said in an interview "to me the policy did not give a damn, I defend myself with politics, I have .. I'm not stupid. Those arrested me. "
reactions? Controversy? Indignation other MPs? Not at all. Dead silence. Dell'Utri then announced that it has found an unpublished chapter of Pasolini's Oil, stolen at the time of the great writer, then two days later you find that is not true at all: after two years from the well-known bibliophile is around Italy to recite the "diaries of Mussolini" that every historian worthy of the name have already judged false. But will continue to be interviewed on all human knowledge, as a man of exquisite culture, despite repeated smears.
A month ago, the political right and left swore that would present "clean lists", not convicted nor charged (not to mention the "dental hygienist" the Knight), but instead are considering a law that prohibits judicial candidates. Not to make them feel too lonely.
