How Do You Catch The Cat On 24 Carrot Island

Ceppaloni that Italy does not want to see (Curzio Maltese)

cameras Mediaset bets as the weapon for a sniper on the court Mesiano not only testify to the honesty of man: one who goes in a row and as the department stores are not as safe corrupt judges with accounts in tax havens. Also reveal, things like this, the total war on the bad faith of the judges fought for fifteen years under the banner of ideology. What we have seen in Italy has launched a hunt to the guards by thieves. And I refuse to believe that Italians are so stupid that they did not understand it.
The question is: why continue to vote the thieves? Not only did the thieves right, even those on the left. For the same reason they voted the robbers of the First Republic, knowing who they were and what they did. To cynicism and convenience. Who voted Craxi in Milan was the first to laugh at jokes about arruffoni socialists. But meanwhile, the government gave the penta everything to everyone, send messages to the middle class predator, until we are there, you are free to make do as you have always done. After a season burst of moralism, a fresh start as and worse than before. The Berlusconi guarantees forgiveness, forgiveness, indefinitely postponing the fight against underworld, the Mafia, tax evasion. Opponents of a communist, a red gown, an "eccentric". Millions of Italians that's okay. They pretend to believe the story of political persecution. Complain of caste politics, screaming against the bribes, the recommendations, the shame of the worst corruption in the world. They are ready to lynch those who are caught. But until the day before doing business with them. There was no needs of the arrests in Lombardy and Campania to understand that Italy is dotted with hundreds of Ceppaloni where to find a job, a contract, advice should move from local political clan. They know, as we all know.
Corruption is the source of all the Italian anomaly. But if it stands for, beyond the performances, it is convenient to many. So let us stop pretending and say openly that political corruption not only indignant, but rather identifies a piece of Italy with its ruling class. We vote for a referendum to decriminalize the offense of corruption of politicians. It would be more honest and sincere to wait for approval of the new immunity in Parliament with the votes of the right and the usual AWOL on the left.
