Oh no, not again

Nell’editoriale di ieri, il Financial Times attacca Silvio Berlusconi: basterebbe solo il titolo, invece voglio riportare alcuni dei passi più significativi dell’articolo. I grassetti sono miei.

Repetita iuvant

Watching his new government in action is a bit like sitting down to view a bad old movie again. When the Forza Italia leader last ruled Italy from 2001 to 2006, he spent too much time legislating to protect himself from prosecution and too little reforming Italy’s sluggish economy. It is too early to make firm judgments, of course.

Ad personam

Once again, the 71-year old prime minister is spending much of his political energy legislating to protect himself from Italy’s public prosecutors. He wants to pass a law that would suspend for one year most court cases where the alleged crime carries a sentence of more than 10 years. [...]

He is also trying to introduce a law that would give immunity from prosecution to the top office holders in the Italian state, including himself.

Errare humanum est

But here, too, fears are mounting. Last time he was in power, one of Mr Berlusconi’s worst errors was to let Italy’s deficit and debt levels spiral out of control.

Ad minchiam

The Berlusconi government last week introduced a budget that will see the public deficit rising from 1.9 per cent of gross domestic product in 2007 to 2.5 per cent in 2008. The rise may be justified by low economic growth; but there is no sign yet that this government is maintaining a tight grip on public spending.

Dulcis in fundo

The country has one of the slowest growth rates in the eurozone. It needs serious, responsible government to turn the economy round. Mr Berlusconi said on Wednesday that Italy’s public prosecutors had subjected him to an endless “Calvary”. But the only Calvary being suffered in this story is the one endured by Italy, which needs a dramatic reversal in its political and economic fortunes.

  1. Sei solamente un pagliaccio di sinistra che non sa accettare la sconfitta.
    Berlusconi sta solo facendo del bene all’Italia.
    Il tuo caro amico mortadella in 2 anni ha messo “solo” 67 nuove tasse, per non parlare dell’indulto e altre cazzate varie. Quando c’era mortadella però non hai mai parlato male …
    Ora arriva Silvio che sistema tutto (almeno ci prova) e voi lo sapete solo criticare.
    Siete solamente dei pagliacci!! Ignoranti e pagliacci!

  2. @ Duce:
    come scritto nella pagina Disclaimer (che ti invito a leggere) di questo blog, potrei cancellare questi commenti che sono offensivi.

    Anziché dare del pagliaccio e insultare me e le persone che non la pensano come te, avresti potuto dire la tua in maniera educata.

    Invece insulti e ti nascondi dietro una falsa email.
    Ma il tuo IP non puoi nasconderlo.
