Some Hope?

After my opinion about Italy, someone has given me some hope, some active Italians have create a site called “Not Speaking in my name” almost 1000 pictures of people with a sing “I’m Italian and Berlusconi is not speaking in my name” is the content of this site; we can also read:
This website does not have political party affiliations. It is a spontaneous gathering of Italians that feel embarrassment and indignation in being represented by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and his Government. We believe that our representation in politics is a serious matter. It needs to be faced with rigour and seriousness. Mr. Berlusconi, when you speak, you should represent the entire Italian population


This is a small sample of Italians that hopefully will grow for their own sake. They have to take action if not it would be just an individual and meaningless expression of disagreement. They have to gather and become more numerous work on becoming a better country not only on the economic aspect but on the social one where everything can be changed; this change have to come from the youth and break with the status quo that has driven them for a long time, is not an easy task to do but possible.

Giovane, bello e bronzato

Isn’t it incredible the people who rule the countries in this World? I lived for a while in Italy. I Arrived with the Dolce Vita spirit …handsome guys, good food, easy going people, beautiful landscape, amazing cities, family values, etc

But I found myself in a country that is living in the past, in the renaissance, middle age, Roman Empire or Etruscan civilization depending on the touristy attraction of the zone. They have huge internal problems not only in the bureaucracy, government and mafia issues, but also in civic matters.

It is a society that is becoming old even among the youth. The young people supports the extreme right wing party and its ideology. How is it possible that nobody expressed any indignation and elect as prime minister a man that has been accused of several crimes and has strong links with the mafia?

 

Later they kept silence while the Legge Alfaro (Alfaro Law. The four main leaders of the state cannot be judged by any crime non related to its position while they remain in the government) was approved.

 

Il Cavaliere is owner of the whole country; he is one of the richest men on Italy. He controls the three public channels RAI and indirectly Mediaset (90% of the whole channel offer). Also owns the football team AC Milan.

 

The strongest party Popolo della Llibetà, that is a coalition among different parties, has as chairman to Silvio Berlusconi, and leaded him to became once more the prime minister of Italy.

 

The Italian people do not ignore any of these facts. They like: watching call girls life on open channels after 11p.m, closed borders that will fight against the evil army (Illegal immigrants who would be treated as criminals, 18 months in jail and then deported). And the abolition of rates tax on family homes (sounds like mafia business). I wonder how is Italy part of the G8 and European Union?

 

Yesterday Il Cavaliere described the elected president of USA as “giovane, bello e bronzato “ (young, handsome and suntanned). The first minister of Italy, is unable to understand that his favorite country in the whole world has a black president or is he in denial?  It would be a shock for him after Bush administration when understanding was almost spiritual; How are going to be the relation between this two countries now on? The government and the Italian people as number one fans of USA would be able to put up with an American Black President?
