The Berlusconi-Fini case I would try to summarize some facts and put some stop.
Contrary to what some time ago, for example, the Corriere della Sera daily that can no longer publish an editorial in which they are called things by their name and prefers instead to raise harmful smoke screens (ah.. I stopped to buy Courier after years of loyal reading).
Let's be simple and we are the facts.
- The question of legality is not it? YES. corruption and dishonesty is a serious cancer and should be our number one priority. The statistics say, the Court of Auditors, the processes and interceptions.
- What does the PDL / Government against corruption and malfeasance? NOTHING! Indeed in recent years decreased hearing (brief requirements, falsification of accounts, etc. ...). When they speak of legality or Zero Tolerance refer mostly to non-EU or burglary. Not for white collar workers. Corruption for the government is not a priority and perhaps even considered physiologic or a lever of power and its business. Rather it is the "privacy" in line with the indications of Ostellino & C.
- E 'credible Fini raise the issue? NO. Today says the right, but in recent years has voted several laws "criminogenic". Now Felt & C. will do everything to prove that Fini is too corrupt and "can not 'give lessons." This is to to perform the Chief and his Parito (now in Italy there is incredibly fulfilling proving that the other steals), but in fact prove just how much corruption is very serious!
- E 'Fini the leading cause of weakness of the government? NO MORE! Have we forgotten that in two months Two ministers have resigned and several Secretaries of State? This does not count for anything? Does anyone know why Brancher has been appointed Minister (NDR: by Berlusconi)? Let's look at the facts: a man was appointed minister does not know what in a hurry, two days after seeking legal impediment (denied by Napolitano at the end) and then is sentenced (1st grade). As good idea that journalists have become the lords of the Courier? You have to be right to think of overt antiberlusconismo maybe you appoint ministers to avoid conviction? In which country this would be acceptable and not responsible to account to the (NDR: Berlusconi Brancher not)? And then the whole focus of Government action on intecettazioni and other controversial bills (mind Obama's visit with the Chrysler Merkel said Marchionne and strategies on industrial sources) may not weaken the government?
- Fini was to be loyal and defend his party colleagues under investigation? NO, this is a concept Conspiracy! not just parties, companies or other organizations. In most companies, for example, those under investigation is suspended at least conservatively. The presumption of innocence and 'account, another is the duty of "solidarity in advance" and stand against the judges crying in the plot, just because you are part of the same organization. Does not exist, unless it is "criminal."
But if a columnist for the Courier would respond to any of my questions I would be grateful.
