"Italy is a normal country? The anomaly represented by Berlusconi - that concentrates in itself the political and media power, using Parliament as a company destined to make laws that saved by the courts, that vomit insults on the judiciary, who constantly criticize the Constitution, which would reduce politics to a pile of jokes and histrionic statements, which carries with it the weight of its sex scandals - all this push to say no. But there's more.
What is striking, for example, is the fact that after being considered the laboratory-avant-garde idea of \u200b\u200bEurope, Italy is now regressed to a status of 'provincial'. The political class has its own provincial travels short, only rarely speak English. The central role still assigned to the detention of the country's television in the eighties. It goes on TV dressed up, everything is entertainment, advertising, talk show shouting, bottoms and lace, the transmissions of inquiry are very rare and therefore those who might participate philosophers, historians, sociologists, psychoanalysts, or men of science virtually non-existent. One evening on two Rai Uno broadcasts Porta a Porta, a talk show hosted by a journalist sweet, a sort of always making the same involving political leaders, and that is not far from replacing the House and Senate. Very rarely in political broadcasts, sports or variety shows a black person. New province, Italy loses points in virtually every sector, from education to health, ecology, human rights, culture (budget massacred) and also to technology. Recently, after Bob Geldof who blamed the government to balance the budget on the backs of the poor, it was Bill Gates himself to accuse Berlusconi ("The rich spend more money to solve their personal problems, such as hair loss, than do to combat malaria ") that it has halved the public funds for the development promised before the cameras, making Italy "the most avaricious European country."
The same regression of this data. We know that because of the decree Pisano wireless connection to the Internet in a public place, an airport or a cybercafe for example, is subject to the presentation of an identity card? That claims for the immediate development dell'addebito have been frozen since 2008, by most voices are being raised, calling for the control of social networking sites like Facebook? Signed petitions that were everywhere to "emancipate the Internet," by laws that penalize the country's future which, for access to the Net, is already "backward and underdeveloped than the rest of Europe? Berlusconi is a man TV old-style, for which Internet is a dangerous as "liquid", or uncontrollable and outside his empire.
But it is society and the regression is more pronounced. Berlusconi's attention so that catalyzes abroad is not perceived as the most important fact is rather a "leghizzazione" of society, which brings with it a civic and moral degradation, a "barbarizzazione" of Italy. The Northern League of Umberto Bossi - whose newspaper, La Padania, wrote "As we are liberated from blacks, the whores, thieves immigrants, rapists from hazel and the gypsies which infest our houses, our beaches, our lives, our spirits? Throw them out these damned "- the Northern League decisive ally of Berlusconi's party did elect his men, many of whom are ministers, in a considerable number of local government, spreading its values \u200b\u200band its language. Duty and has made normal xenophobic discourse.
We would like to join the Vatican Library and enumerate the speeches inciting racial hatred, homophobia, anti-Southerner delivered by its leaders. What you look on Youtube the speeches of Mr. Mario Borghezio , who plays a few excerpts of speeches by Radio Padania: in no country would tolerate such an overflowing hatred, stupidity, xenophobia " (L'Espresso, February 11, 2010)
