”Good day to you all! Today I’m going to tell you about something I’ve discovered and that I’ve written about in the new book, the one that is about to come into the bookshops tomorrow or the day after. I’ll show you the cover, even though it’s a bit reduced. It’s called “Ad Personam 1994/2010: così destra e sinistra hanno privatizzato la democrazia” {Ad Personam 1994/2010: how the Right and the Left have privatised democracy}. I wrote the book when I started to read - I told you about this in a Passaparola at the beginning of the year – the “ad personam” laws that Berlusconi is preparing, the four of them, in fact, five (wiretapping, short (or dead) trial, constitutional Lodo Alfano bis, parliamentary immunity and legitimate impediment) are about the twentieth, rather the nineteenth in the last 15 years.

Three “ad personam” laws a year
In reality, the lists never take everything into account: we’ve forgotten the first one: the “Biondi decree”. We’ve forgotten all the ones that the Centre-Left did and so I went off to check and I’ve discovered that in reality, the “ad personam” laws in the sense that the “personam” equals “Silvio Berlusconi”, in the last fifteen years have been 36 that have been definitively approved and thus the five that I’ve just mentioned are not counted there, thus when they too become laws we’ll have the notable total of 41 of them.
41 in fifteen years is about three a year, bearing in mind that Berlusconi in these last 15 years, has only governed for seven and a half to eight years while the others were the years of the Centre-left and so if we were just to calculate the years when he had the Majority in Parliament, we would be talking about seven by six – six a year, that is a reasonable average and added to that there are another 11 that either have been attempted and did not succeed, or they are there laid before Parliament ready, like bullets in the rifle, ready to be shot out. But it doesn’t stop there. In the book I’m saying “ad personam”, but I also deal with all the other “ad” laws, that is all the other laws that in the last fifteen years have privatised democracy, or instead of dealing with the general interests of the citizens - this is a law, a general measure and abstracted from the interests of the whole of society, but no – they are making laws for this, that or the other person, or for this, that or the other political, entrepreneurial or mafia category, and in fact, I’ve done the whole list of the laws that are “ad mafiam”, “ad castam”, “ad aziendas” (Confindustria) or “ad aziendam”, like the laws for Mediaset, for example and we got a total of about 105 laws that, naturally, even by rounding down if in doubt, but it gives a good idea of what the Second Republic has become and what the Second Republic is and that is it is an “ad personam” Republic or for a few persons: “ad paucas personas”. For example, there are even some “ad personam” laws where the person is not Berlusconi and there are 16 of these.
