Berlusconi's World - Italy

November 2002
Despite a checkered past controversial Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, has, until now, remained a popular and charismatic leader. But his recent attempts to avoid prosecution by emasculating the judicial system have finally started to make his patient public ask questions.

Italy is a bigger exporter than UK (and much bigger than Spain). The problem of Italy is the big differences inside the country. Northern and centre regions average GDP per capita is still similar to west Germany (and they have 5-7% of unemployment). Southern regions, on the other hand, are probably the poorest in west Europe. The problem of the south is not about money but legality and order.

@Totma11 you have to consider that berlusconi is not loved by the majority of people in italy! the major critics come from inside the country! and it's quite normal considering how this guy continuosly wipes his ass with the constitution and uses the majority in parliament to make laws that have the only purpose of preventing him from being prosecuted! italians are not a united people, they have never been, neither are very patrioctic,

this new patriotism is a media' construction

@paperab visto che non siamo in competizione con nessuno. ammetterai però che il sistema di corruzione e scarsa efficienza che ci portiamo dietro da 150 anni non può più continuare no? bisogna dare una bella risistemata e riorganizzare tutto, il paese le potenzialità le ha, è indubbio, quindi perchè continuare far finta che vada tutto bene?

[GetitUnderCool]

@paperab sarà, ma nemmeno fare finta che vada tutto bene e che si sia tutti felici mi sembra un buon metodo!

dire che tutto è controllato dalla mafia è una grossolana semplificazione, sarebbe più preciso dire che spesso

chi governa il paese fa uso della mafia per perseguire i suoi scopi. di quello che gli americani e gli inglesi pensano dell'italia sinceramente non me ne frega un cazzo, ammettere i difetti della propria nazione non mi sembra un autogoal,

[paperab]

C'e' della strana gente - Italiana - che scrive in slang moderno inglese per sembrare cool. Poveri piccoli cocchini di mamma.

Autosputtanarsi e dire che l'Italia e' mafia e' uno stupido autogoal.

E' una cosa usata dagli inglesi e dagli americani per tenere giu' l'Italia all'estero. Non lo capite e continuate a frignare. E poi siete gli stessi che cercano solo il posto da geometra al comune (o da ricercatore -fallito- alla locale universita').

It is strange to behold the ominous tones of the narrator of this program- as you might get the feeling something rare is going on in Berlusconi's Italy... which of course would be utter balderdash. Why? Because every country has people who hold power- & based on the traditional mores of that country attempt to hold on to it as long as possible. A more important question than style of government is efficacy of it... and Berlusconi's fellow Italian's shall be the jury... not anybody else.

@biosun2 or it has something to do with the fact that he's a criminal and would have been condemned in any other country...least to say, he'd be out of office
