Berlusconi: I go on, peaceful
I have no fear of me to judge
Video message of President Silvio Berlusconi
the Promoters of Liberty - January 28, 2011
Dear friends and dear friends,
now becoming a fixture on our weekly meeting that gives us the opportunity to take stock of the political situation and government.
I must confess that watching certain newspapers makes me think that I am President of the Council to work and who knows who, almost by chance, like I was the recipient of a lottery and not because the People of Freedom Party led by me has clearly won the elections.
Indeed, it is right I remember that, my Government, my party and my majority, as well as having won the parliamentary elections of 2008, we also won in European elections, and then in the regional and administrative. We had an ongoing popular legitimacy and then continue to govern with a commitment to always strong support for solid and clear of the Italians who still give more than 45% of our coalition in the polls.
not we who have betrayed those who elected us. We carry out consistently the government program agreed with the Italians. Are we not to have beaten the contract with the people that we had given a mandate so broad that you can configure this as a Constituent Assembly. We are not
to have sabotaged the path of reform by the country slip back into theaters the old policy, checks and votes of confidence to repeat. The truth is that against us has coalesced all the old policy that always stands in the way to renewal, rather than policy that takes responsibility for the crisis of the state, the economy and of Italian society, those in the First Republic were among their enemies, have put together against us, against the Government of expression of the majority of Italians in the vain hope to send home.
not have any values \u200b\u200bin common, the only thing that unites them is to conquer the power and get rid of Berlusconi to the rescue of the red robes politicized, ready to intervene whenever the situation demands it.
Well, once again, this offensive has been and will be rejected. We have the strength of the people and the strength of numbers: the combined opposition have forced, from 29 September to now, seven parliamentary checks on the premises of the government, and we always won: 7 to zero in on crucial issues such as two votes of trust (September 29 and December 14), against two individual ministers Calderoli distrust and Bondi (December 22 and January 26), with the approval of the minister Gelmini reform University (Dec. 23), with the decree Naples into law and the status report of the Minister of Justice Alfano (January 29).
The government has never stopped, even for a moment. Also this morning the Council of Ministers has worked to solve dozens of problems with true team spirit and with great unity.
Faced with the policy of building we responded with five specific objectives: Federalism, Taxation, Southern Justice, Security.
We have approved all these measures in subsequent councils of ministers, with the exception of the tax reform which we are working with the forces of reform and social justice, which was blocked by Fini and his. But from now on, these reforms have already been agreed with the voters, will head the agenda of the government, along with federalism.
We, in the last two months, we finally adopted the reform of the University completing the cycle of re-foundation of the school, the first one that is pursued in the postwar period. It has been approved and becomes operational, the Bank is already operating in the South
financing Deposits and loans to small and medium enterprises.
We have implemented a pension reform that aligns civil service retirement age for men and women, and that has all the coupling between pensions and life expectancy: a mechanism leading to Europe. All without an hour of protest, one hour strikes.
We have renewed funding for the taxation of overtime, which is crucial for reviving the competitiveness of enterprises.
So, after defending the interests of Italians in the European offices, obtaining the reclassification of debt in accordance with criteria of sustainability, having passed a law of financial stability which has been adopted from Europe without any request for additional measure, ie other cuts that would have depressed and may jeopardize the economic recovery, after putting away the Italy international speculation and after having ensured the social cohesion of the country by spreading a network of social safety nets of the 32 billion euro, we are now engaged in conduct federalism in the harbor, creating a historic reform that will redraw the face of the State 150.mo anniversary of the Unification of Italy. I am so proud of what we have done so far, in the belief that the center remains the only coalition that can ensure the unity of Italy and the only guarantee of governability in the face of opposition weak, divided and fragmented, with no leader, without ideas, without plans, who knows only propose new taxes, such as, for example, the asset that would penalize all Italian families, which would depress investment would flee the capital and reopen the race for unproductive expenditure. As long as I do, how these proposals will never pass, but the Italians know it and can rest assured that the investment will never go away.
Dear friends,
as you all know by now, the storms do not scare me, and bigger, the more convinced I am that you have to react in the interest of all citizens, in the interests of our country.
In seventeen years I've seen it all: they have tried by every means to unsubscribe from the politics and history, have also affected physically, but never, never, our opponents had reached heights so shameful irresponsibility and cynicism and illiberal, violating the most elementary rules of law and unlawfully using a weapon judicial investigation for the purpose of political struggle. Because for too long a part of the judiciary is pursuing every means of subverting the popular will, and to do this does not stop at nothing. When
in a democratic country - and this happens only in Italy - you get to break the home of the Prime Minister, and to consider possible anyone who enters an accused person - means that the alert level has been largely overcome.
is not what a free country where you pick up the phone when you are not sure of the inviolability of their conversations.
is not a free country one in which a citizen can find the papers of their conversations that are part of your private content and have no criminal act.
is not a free country one in which a caste of privileged people can commit any abuse to the detriment of other people without ever having to be accountable.
It 'time to restore a proper balance and a real separation of powers and orders of the state.
be clear that I have no fear of me to judge.
front of the judges have never escaped, and the mountain of mud of the most grotesque and improbable allegations in 17 years of legal persecution has not even given birth to a mouse: the thousands of judges who have worked obsessively about me and my life have not found a shred of evidence that has governed the examination of the courts. But I'm right, like any other citizen, to appear in front of my natural court, which is not the Milan prosecutor's office but the judge assigned to me by the Constitution, the Court of Ministers, which is not a special court made for me, but is composed of judges chosen by lot. And having the consciousness totally quiet, I'll just be re-established a state of judicial fairness.
Dear friends,
I go forward in the interests of the country that has chosen me as Head of Government and he has never denied this choice, and I will do until you feel the confidence of voters and a majority of parliament, which are Unique cornerstones of any true democracy. We rule and we will continue to govern, the mud will fall on those who try to use it against us.

"Without Finian Casini and we are more united"
"Despite what is happening are serene and determined. We continue to govern with a passionate team of government. Every day we think we solve problems with capacity. " This was stated by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi over the phone with the provincial assembly of the Alliance Center of pioneer to Cassino.
Explain the premier "over the wall of the opposition we found another wall on the road to governance: the wall of those professional politicians who have put together but represent a mindset that is unable to govern and that resulted in past the crisis of the state "and defines the Third Pole" the restoration of the past. " Specification that the three leaders, Casini, Fini and Rutelli, "have a mindset that led to the crisis of the state and our society, they are not able to understand that to govern means to change, modernize Italy. They are an assemblage of clips from the past. Without Finian Casini and we are more united and determined than ever. The departure of Fini, her passage to the opposition have become a great resource and an opportunity to respond to the country because before they were to sabotage the government. "
Premier reassures: "No one in the majority and we are now pulling against better placed to take forward the reforms. We have an alliance that is now the only chance to have a solid government Italy to ensure that the crisis better than other countries. All other formula is a simple restoration of the past and a return to the vices of the old party politics that has done so much harm to Italy. " It highlights the tightness of the "alliance policy and programmatic" between the PDL, "Bossi of the Northern League and the new group of leaders:" I believe that the numbers in Parliament take. The majority has demonstrated the ability to win seven to zero on all the traps and challenges that have left the place. " "Who wants to think the election is not a new term with a compact and united government, but thinks only of his own interests, to the possibility of managing and sharing of power."
premier concludes the phone remembering "a documentary I saw recently on attachment to Cassino during the Second World War: there is still to be done come the chills for what happened." It urges them to show this kind of documentaries "to all our children in schools so that they can understand how terrible war is brought by any party."
(3) The Prime Minister repeated
Asset
no to yes to a bipartisan plan for growth
The letter from the Chairman of the Corriere della Sera
Dear Director,
his newspaper has deservedly revived the debate on debt public monstrous that we find ourselves on the back for many years, its expensive cost in terms of annual interest paid by the State and that this burden places on the obstacle on the path of economic growth in the country. I agree with the conclusions of Dario Di Vico, set out Sunday on a very valuable analytical text that starts with the two proposed property tax, unlike article, signed Dec. 22 and Jan. 26 by Giuliano Amato and Pellegrino Capaldo. Let me briefly explain why no government, and I go beyond a simple bad preference, "I'd rather not," and expresses a rather unyielding aversion to strategic tax tool that, technically speaking, financial and political sense.
First of all, if the alternative was between a painful and one-off levy on private wealth and a very credible action by antidebito "ants," a lazy minimalist gradualism in spending cuts and other unproductive pannicelli hot, we'd really put evil. But it is not. The alternative is between a "blow dry," unjust and ineffective in the long term, and so depressing for any prospect of private investment and undertaken, and the greatest "whip" the horse of the economy that the history of Italian flavors. Debt is a percentage of gross domestic product, our ability to produce wealth. If this capacity is asphyxiated or otherwise inadequate, the percentage of debt becomes excessively cumbersome. But if we can get growth over the three-four per cent in five years, and the markets understand that this is the path embarked from Italy, a country still very strong, exporting country, a country that has a large reserve of energy, capital , intelligence and working from its southern and northern Europe not only in its highly competitive aggression winning debt and its annual cost becomes, immediately, triggering a virtuous cycle along.
To do this we need a much more free, because this is the lash of which I speak, in a country more stable, less quarrelsome, confident and even in love with themselves and their future. The "blow dried" is, despite the interesting thoughts and good intentions of Professor Amato and Professor Capaldo, a waiver of state, cultural reactionary to move forward on the road liberal. Germany has made this leap and liberalizing reformer, has paradoxically triggered by the reforms of the Social Democrat Gerhard Schröder, then the government of national unity, then the safe and illuminated by Angela Merkel. And the results are there for all to see: the locomotive is allocated. We, especially after the launching of the historic agreement on the social relations of Mirafiori and Pomigliano, we can do the same. I
I hide the particular problem of aggression which, as always, for reasons outside the social dialectics and parliamentary, affects the political system. I am more concerned about how and President Napolitano. And for this, since the secretary of the Pd was previously sensitive to the issue of liberalization and, despite some of its inappropriate association with the chorus of moralists screamed so much per pound, has the pragmatic culture of Emilia, I propose to act Bersani together in Parliament, in forms to be agreed, without prejudice and exclusivism to discuss a bipartisan plan for the big Italian economic growth, a government plan whose centerpiece is the constitutional reform of Article 41 announced for months by the Minister Tremonti, and drastic measures on the market allocation of public assets and comprehensive tax relief for the benefit of businesses and young people. The purpose
indirect but very important to plan for growth based on a whip to the horse's economy is finally free to take the emergence of private wealth hidden, which is part of a package of savings and hard work in the light of which , also estimated in Brussels, our debt situation is maliciously represented by the striking proportion of 118 percent of GDP. Before putting a property tax on the middle class and that scares paralyzed, a tax which, however, under my government does not you will never think of a virtuous exchange, greater freedom and incentive to investment against tax increases the tax base now hidden. Add to this the positive effects of autonomy and freedom, the great federalist reform, we can say that partisan attitudes, but also the only malmostosi and skeptics, can be defeated, and Italy can give a jolt to the negative factors which affect to her present situation, building a piece of the future.
Government / Berlusconi useful and constructive meeting with Pannella
''a useful and constructive discussion. I agree with his friend and Radical leader Marco Pannella, who has called so 'our meeting this morning.'' This was stated in a note to the President of the Council of Ministers Silvio Berlusconi. ''One more chance, after that last December, where we talked about shared reform, beginning with that of justice'', said the premier. Finally,''I agree with the emphasis on the importance of dialogue,''he concludes.

A proposal for the good of the country
The proposal launched by Silvio Berlusconi on the columns in the Corriere della Sera in a bipartisan pact for growth is a recipe for the country, for today and tomorrow.
For today, because it makes a decisive contribution to bring out the political climate of poisons and sludge which attempts to bring the drift court. And tomorrow, for the ghosts away an unfair tax asset that would put the families on their knees, but the basic problem facing Italy, the low economic growth precisely.
begin with this last point, which certainly very interested in people. Italy in the two and a half years of center-right government has kept the accounts in order to obtain the recognition of all, however, a huge boulder has inherited from the past, the public debt. In this situation can not make a lot more expansive operations for the benefit of the economy, and especially young people, as it can afford to do as Germany or France. In recent weeks
some items of the center area of \u200b\u200bthe first republic have proposed to solve the debt problem transferring tout-court on the shoulders of families. Since we have a high savings and high real estate, it was said, simply taxing this property, or mortgage the property to the State, to lose on average with Europe.
It 's a recipe that is unfair to pay for citizens and businesses, which are the engine of Italy, the sins of past policy and bureaucracy. It 's a proposal that would undermine our society as savings and home are the true social insurance for future generations. It is a proposal, then, that would trigger a large and motivated rebellion. Berlusconi said from the outset that, with him in government, the capital "can never do." The left is divided between favorable (Veltroni) and against (Bersani). The third prong seems possible: having the gene in the DNA of the expenditure and development, for many of them a sheet seems the most natural thing in the world.
The premier, however, does not just say no to the tax that disproves all the commitments of the government and the mandate of trust with voters. This raises the broader issue of growth, that is. But instead of tax increases proposed to solve it with a joint plan and actual expansion of the economy without burdening the public budget. "A beneficial whipped, "he says.
How? Implementing reforms liberalizing - the bureaucracy, business, research - not acting on the debt, but on wealth. By increasing this, the GDP, the debt also starts to decline as a result. It should, however, a choral contribution, majority and opposition, in their own role. We need the contribution of political forces but also of social blocks that refer to the moderates and left local administrators, the world of work and enterprise, education and research. Pier Luigi Bersani
in the past has been, from left, a liberalized. To him, the head of the government and the center is directed not to ask for help but to propose to act together. This would also leave the political debate dall'avvilente situation in recent months, in which there has been talk of poison as a giant open-air court, with little interest, even rejection by the common people. Especially young people.
is not the first time that Berlusconi is proposing a constructive dialogue to the opposition, has always called for dialogue even the head of state. This was done in the inaugural address, and repeated it when he got wide trust on September 29 last year. The personal relationship with Bersani, beyond the harshness of propaganda, is a civil and respectful. That's why the Prime Minister is the right move. It 's the recipe, as he points out, allowed Germany to grow under different governments, the grand coalition by Schroeder up to Angela Merkel. It is not piled against the idea of \u200b\u200bsomeone with no programs or leader: on the contrary a path in which the dignity of the majority to be recognized as that of the opposition to work together for the good of the country.
not take this new appeal, sacrifice for the sake of a needless controversy, not an injury, would be a crime.
Justice / Alfano: corporate resistance impeding reform
The "resistance corporate hamper any attempt to reform the Italian legal system." This was stated by the Minister of Justice, Angelino Alfano, in his speech at the inauguration of the judicial year in the classroom 'Europe' of the Court of Appeal in Rome. The Keeper said: "The judicial system to be innovative and become more efficient not only need financial and human resources but must first be reorganized with the diffusion of an organizational culture and performance measurement also not only of individual judges and courts as a whole. " The minister reiterated again that the mere placing of resources does not guarantee the efficiency.
The reform process is "difficult" because, according to Alfano, "intended to affect a very complex reality, but also on advantageous position on the Privileges die hard, rearguard positions that just listen to any proposal, branding him a priori as ineffective, but a path of reform is necessary to ensure the country an adequate level of civility and competitiveness. "
Later the minister said: "The starting point is well known to economists and analysts of organization: the only input of additional resources does not solve any of inefficiency profile of any complex organization. This rule is duly confirmed by the data relating to the judicial system if it is true that from '96 to 2007 the overall expenditure in the IT sector, more than two billion euro, while at the same time the backlog in both civil and criminal matters has grown steadily.

From D'Alema D'Alema
only a menage a trois of reversals they will be, oh yes: there was in fact the its a hand in that of '95 and it was especially against Berlusconi in '98, when he personally sent to Prodi and headed home two of the most insignificant governicchi of the Republic, more marked by the worst transformation.
The lider maximo continues to reversals pontificating and dreaming, planning, taking strictly outside governments who won the election. So, having ruled that Berlusconi was a "historic failure" (one day need also take stock of Dalem, and then we will see some good), and having called for the establishment of a government-stacked to change the electoral law, has now raised the bar even further predicting an electoral alliance that is anti-Knight now present the Italians to stem an alleged democratic emergency.
Let us pause a moment to reflect. If Italy is still a parliamentary democracy - and is - the democratic emergency occurs when the rooms become unmanageable because they can not express any government and no majority.
is not the case in Italy, where Berlusconi has grossed between formal and substantive, seven votes of confidence from September 29 to today. A record. So how, and even more significantly, was honored by the voters in every election that followed from 2008 to today. So how do you set up a democratic emergency? Yet Bersani
advised Berlusconi to be very careful at the end they are doing, with a domino effect, the North Africans driven from Saddam uprising of their people. A comparison reckless and adventurous that speaks volumes about the sense of responsibility of this opposition. In the face of majority choice by the Italians, in short, the Democratic Party now wants the immediate dissolution of Parliament not for a parliamentary crisis, but the disruptive effects of judicial initiative. And here we are at this point. Nearly twenty years
by Tangentopoli, the left still clinging to the judicial shortcut to grab power. The real democratic emergency is the fact that before the PDS, then the DS and now the Democratic Party - after the opening of fleeting Veltroni at the beginning of this term - have never recognized the legitimacy of Berlusconi as head of government, and the proposed an electoral alliance in the whole anti-Knight confirmed that the line has not changed. We'll see if the initiative goes forward, no wonder the cautious opening of Casini, who was the first to contemplate a sort of CLN against Berlusconi, not surprisingly, even the opening of Fli, which has become one of the most experienced reduced antiberlusconiani 'Italy of Values. Berlusconi this morning made a concrete proposal: a bipartisan plan to boost economic growth to meet the one true emergency we face, namely the economic one. But it is an offer of dialogue in the interest of the country will once again into the void because the only peace possible for the political opposition would be the disappearance of Berlusconi. What the Italians do not want, and as long as sovereignty remains in the hands of people that desire will not therefore be granted.
If you want to go to be lacking confidence vote in Parliament, Prime Minister: We have already tried several times but the blitz has always failed. We want to continue doing this, in this useless political confrontation, or work together for Italy? Berlusconi has already given the answer to the letter to Corriere della Sera.
Bondi D'Alema proposed to suspend the rules of democracy''
D'Alema is now offering a common front that emergency situation, both political and social, in fact, suspend the effects of the rules of democratic suffrage and the referendum among workers''. Cosi 'Sandro Bondi, coordinator of the People of Liberty, said the exponent of the PD interview with La Repubblica. The interview
''D'Alema confirmed that our commitment to democracy and 'fundamental to the future of Italy and should be continued - he concludes - with the utmost vigor and conviction.''
Cicchitto: D'Alema justified political assassination''
In a normal country to paraphrase D'Alema today, and the title of his book yesterday, there 'a section of the judiciary so' systematically part as in Italy, it 'a prime Copasir so' biased and arrogant like him. Everything 'and the fact that the justicialism and social democracy and' the landing point of the Communist Party, are the reason Italian serious anomaly.'' This was stated by Fabrizio Cicchitto, leader of the PDL replying to the President of the Chamber Copasir. So
''D'Alema - he continues - on the reasons for the CLN and the attempted political assassination against Berlusconi must submit it as a fascist. So what 'it means that when in the past as the time of the initial part of the Bicameral he realized' a just agreement with Berlusconi, in his head to the consideration of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact.''
Gasparri: D'Alema offends his electorate
"With his words D'Alema only certify the failure of the Democratic Party as an alternative government and also of all the opposition to Berlusconi." This was declared by the leader of the Senate Pdl, Maurizio Gasparri. "All alone is not going nowhere and they need to take on subjects from the opposite but to hope for an improbable victory in the elections. D'Alema offends his own electorate. But how do you think voters to digest in an alliance with Pd Fini, Casini and then Peter and Vendola? Apart from the aim of destroying Berlusconi, have nothing that binds them to build something. Together, the best guess, would last the duration of a soap bubble. No coincidence that begs the question of a possible candidate for prime minister. "
Lupi: D'Alema? Nothing new under the sun
''Nothing new under the sun of Italian politics. The return to scene of D'Alema and the reactions its proposal to confirm that the opposition, despite the proclamations, and 'absolutely unable to get out of the ordinary scheme and worn because of unlikely alliances held together only dall'antiberlusconismo militant.''Cosi' Maurizio Lupi, vice president of the Chamber PDL.
But''it does not concern us - Added Wolves - 'cause we know well that the country needs programs, ideas, a government project that serves the common good. This is 'our compass, the alchemy of the building willingly leave to others'.
Maroni, the proposed D'Alema is inadmissible
The proposed Massimo D'Alema of an alliance between all political forces to reach a new government with or without elections, '"inadmissible". He says in an interview with Corriere della Sera, Interior Minister Roberto Maroni. "We do not care. The attempt to do what you did to Berlusconi Craxi not 'successful and not think I can'. It 's not feasible - he explains - an' after Berlusconi 'passing through an 'against Berlusconi'. "
" The palace conspiracies can only lead to a stalemate, and it 'but what we want to avoid - concluded the Minister - without mezzucci by First Republic ".
(6) From
we only programs and events Berlusconi
The proposal is to launch, with the idea of \u200b\u200ban actual agreement for the recovery and growth that involve the residues of the Bersani reform the Democratic Party and "liberalization", a real challenge to the entire opposition, Why measure with what you need to Italy and to the citizens. Today's and tomorrow.
The recovery in short, is within reach of a political class that knows how to put aside, as has long called the head of State, the interests of shop and misery in a war with the media and many other legal purposes to find a common recipe for economic and social growth. Look or just strive to be together and discuss the merits, would ensure that qualitative leap in words that invoke all.
The Prime Minister therefore not limited to one proposal, but spoke in detail rejecting the hypothesis of capital that destroys the middle class and make the chronic stagnation instead of offering the "whiplash" necessary resources to put into circulation, projects, capital. And thereby provide a solid foundation and practical perspectives to the work and youth employment.
recipe on how to achieve a shared The proposal is open and report back in about a twofold interest. The comparison of the specific problems of the opposition in the guise of exposing those in the shelter of gossip and media would bring up the war and who is leading the Executive no longer able to work for the country!
With patience and care of forms, the Premier again indicates that the judiciary may be the main way on an issue - the economy is the weight of our debt - which can be best resolved if addressed together.
takes courage to not back Tiras but who did you take out this fault to the citizen and the first among them - the head of state - an honor not without consequences .

TV, there is no limit to the worst
Moralists of begging, feminists last-minute political aspirants disappointed because not valued enough, rod accustomed only to look in the garden of others. It was only to attack the nuns Silvio Berlusconi. But we think this evening Gad Lerner: Having already given ample proof of himself and of his style in the previous episode, peppered with vulgarities and insults for free, not without a heavy dose of lies and manipulations, we prove uncomfortable habit. Savonarola de 'Noantri read a letter from Sister Rita garters, the community of Ruth Caserta, once again presenting the reality differently than it is really.
When Time limit for the worst. While attacking the Prime Minister, to paint in the worst way possible, there is shame not to exploit any weak word. The attack on Berlusconi is enjoying its full force, but since the cards of the investigation, if it really can be called such, is not coming out of the rag of a crime or a responsibility on the Prime Minister, the road is leaving the court field to the moral question, as if you gentlemen are in a position to give lessons to anyone.

Good news / market confidence in Italy
markets trust Italy and auctions of government bonds last week have confirmed it: almost double demand than supply, substantial decline in yields, filings in the spread than the German bund. The Treasury has so placed Bot Ctz for six months and more than ten billion, down popping returns of 0.277% and 0.311 from the previous auction.
In February the Eurozone will be auctioned licenses for 100 billion will be eleven countries and Italy to take the lead in terms of quantity, followed by France and Germany, the offer of securities in a period of ' years traditionally among the most liquid international investors. Italy in February refund coupon bonds and pay due for a total of 30 billion, and will ask the twenty billion market. If you do not
stormed critical of foreign policy or internal to believe that the easing of tensions on the sovereign debt of the States will maintain moderate levels of bond yields. A trend that is helping countries also under close scrutiny from Brussels, from Greece to Portugal. But the evaluations by investors have rewarded Italy with respect to the differential with respect to German titles: Spain and Portugal, in fact, despite the good performance of the auctions, the spread has grown to 224, respectively, and 384 basis points, while ours is dropped to 160. Moreover
Standard & Poor's in its latest report says that over the next 18 months Italy, France, Britain and the Benelux countries will grow at a rate between 1.5% and 2%, while Spain, Portugal, Greece and Ireland will remain " stuck in recession. "

Good news / polls, trust in government
Renato Mannheimer Ispo The poll published in Corriere della Sera yesterday confirmed the previous week: the confidence in the government is stable, even slightly increasing, as is the against the People of Liberty, also a slight increase. Above 30% in both cases.
This means one thing: the story Berlusconi's personal - despite the emphasis on one-way of the mainstream media - have no impact on political opinion. So much so that the consent to the conduct of the opposition is just 15%. In the fall also appreciation to the Parliament as a whole (down 25%) and political parties in general (decreased to 10%).
intersect, this would entail that the Italians want the government continues to govern in full awareness of the difficulty of the general context.
is on this basis that Berlusconi has proposed to the Secretary of the PD, Pierluigi Bersani, a large joint action in Parliament to discuss''without prejudice''and exclusivism a large bipartisan plan for the Italian economy.
Italy certainly needs a "whip" to liberate the dormant energies are available, but must leave the logic of a bipolar system that was reduced to or against Berlusconi. If the parties, as confirmed by the survey, they lose credibility, it is precisely because they can not escape from this logic. For the Premier, the proposal is a measure of consistency and accountability, for Bersani is a challenge to its ability to courage, which would also benefit the domestic political maneuvers to extricate between D'Alema and Veltroni those pursuing alliances external, with the first and second with Fini Casini, alliances that irritate and Vendola Di Pietro, and then make it even more difficult balancing acts of Bersani.

"Berlusconi is still afraid," Corriere della Sera
(Sergio Romano) - between Berlusconi and Fini ... There are some fundamental differences. The first is the President of the Council. Elected by ballot in which he had expressly stated his name ... The only way to verify and correct the results of previous elections is to return to the polls: a perspective that did not seem pleased so far neither the government nor the opposition. ... Berlusconi has always claimed the victim of a judicial conspiracy and is convinced he can turn it in yet another proof of the truth of his thesis ... Gianfranco Fini, however, not as chairman of the House a popular mandate and was elected to the office by a parliamentary majority which is no longer part. It is not enough. While Berlusconi has been voted with a program other than that of their opponents, and is therefore party to the dialectic between majority and opposition, Fini is obliged to be, together with the chairman of the Senate, the arbiter of conflict and the guarantor of rules that should enable the best possible operation of the legislative power, a function that should not take the risk of being challenged at every step for reasons real or imagined. That's why I do not think suggesting that he had fallen in contradiction to the Speaker of the House to reflect on the credibility of their role.
Il Sole 24 Ore (Stefano Folli) - ... Berlusconi has the right to feel persecuted, and perhaps even has the right to complain furiously against the media and the use of wiretapping ... ... It also caught the reference Casini, Todi, need to give a political solution to this crisis and not judicial. The wounds resulting from removal of Berlusconi claims, rather than through a political and electoral process, would be unfathomable. Certainly very serious threat to the balance of the country. It is a point on which the range of political forces Opposition has not yet given a clear idea.
Il Giornale (Giuliano Ferrara) - Berlusconi ... If it were only a symbol of irrational, an idol, rather than a statesman of some 'special, bring it down in the end it would be easier, especially with the help of the prosecution of activists and media 'assault ... We're all a bit' in his underwear, but the prime minister still has political resources, the largest of which is in short supply among its numerous and fierce enemies: the consent of the people ... The brutal exposure of the private life of Cav by a circle of voyeurs disguised as moralists has hurt him and anyone who supports devotional without fanaticism. But ultimately what is and remains a circus of voyeurs, and that has revolutionized tipaccio twenty or thirty years of our history is rather democratic, and must demonstrate, not the owner of a lonely fans but the expression of another Italy, another idea of \u200b\u200bsociety and politics embodied in a band of brothers without an inferiority complex ...

What was the final verdict? Unfortunately, very ruthless, because, again, was given a formal rejection today ...
