Clemente Mastella is Innocent!
It’s true, Mastella really does believe that he has done nothing wrong. The reason he gave, in an attempt to justify the actions of his wife and himself, was ‘everyone is doing it.’ And we are talking about the former justice minister of a major economic power.
On the subject of power, I have, via links on Rob’s Wind Rose Hotel blog, managed to find out what Mastella and family had probably been up to. Apparently, it is alleged that Mastella’s wife was involved in the appointment of medical staff, but only those who were considered as ‘party faithful’ got the jobs.
All perfectly normal according to Mastella, the former justice minister.
The worrying thing about the former justice minster’s claims, is that he is most probably right. Everyone is at it.
The trouble is, just because everyone is doing it, does not make whatever it is, right. Apply an attitude like that, and you can excuse almost any act.
You would have expected a justice minister to have understood this. Well, I would have.
Luckily for Italy, Mastella is no longer the justice minister. Although one wonders how a gentleman of such integrity could have ended up in such a position.
Oh well, at least Prodi has gone too.
