Di Pietro Nil, Berlusconi Won

June 30, 2008 Italian politics 1 Comment

One Italian politician has had the guts to stand up and say in no uncertain terms that Berlusconi, who promised to represert the interests of the Italian people, is making passing parliamentary time passing Berlusconi protection laws. Such laws are not really in the interests of Italy’s people, unless, that is, such people happen to have a first name like ‘Silvio’ and possess ‘Berlusconi’ as a surname.

Yet, despite Di Pietro having pointed out what is to most Italians, excuse the vulgarity, bloody obvious, Italy’s only honest politician is taking an enormous amount of flack from Berlusconi’s cronies.  Mr Di Pietro is being accused of vulgarity, insulting behaviour, and of, shock horror, bringing down the tone of Italian politics.

Voice of reason nil, voices of cronyism won. And Italy keeps bumbling along.

  1. I totally agree with you. It is disgusting the way they say that an honest person like Di Pietro is bringing down the tone of Italian politics, is vulgar, insulting… I’ll be vulgar too: one really feels like puking…

For those who did not know, Francesco Cossiga, who died the other day, was an Italian politician and one time President of Italy.

Berlusconi v Fini – Slinging Old Mud

Berlusconi Divorces Fini

30 Jul 2010

Kotipizza Berlusconi

From spat to full-blown split. Silvio Berlusconi’s marriage of political convenience to Gianfranco Fini has ended in tears. Scorned lover Berlusconi even rejected Fini’s last minute attempts to kiss and make up and remain part of Berlusconi’s party of love. End of love in. Period.
