As of last night, Italy is officially no longer a democracy. Napolitano has signed the Government's interpretative law decree that makes certain Italians more equal than all the others. From now on, all our laws will be “interpreted”, whenever it suits them, by this bunch of wannabe revolutionaries and, where necessary, enacted by a State President that should in any event be impeached for having committed high treason. During the night, while the Italians were sleeping, Napolitano hastily signed the decree (perhaps for once even he was ashamed of what he was doing). Thanks to his signature, all the nomination lists, including those with no signatures, those with unauthenticated signatures and those not even officially submitted, in other words that whole pile of bullshit election lists was “interpreted” and “re-virginised”. Formigoni and Polverini are now back in the race. Any other opposition nomination list with the smallest official flaw would have been rejected. We really are living under a dictatorship. It seems strange to hear this word "dictatorship" just as a new Spring is dawning. What the magistrature says no longer matters. What Parliament does no longer matters. The laws, or rather the Government decrees that Parliament never gets to discuss, have become the norm. As usual, Morpheus Napolitano's signature is no problem, a done deal. So now, even the “interpretation” of laws is entirely up to Berlusconi and becomes the Government’s duty. I Berlusconi, I La Russa, I Cicchitto, I Maroni, I Gasparri, I Napolitano... I am the one and you, my dear Italians, are merely my subjects, you don’t count bugger all. I pass the laws, I interpret them and I reign supreme. The youth of the MoVimento 5 Stelle went around for months in the bitter cold of winter, gathering signatures in the streets, valid, authenticated signatures. They were not paid a single cent, they paid for their own expenses. As a result they managed to gain admission to the regional elections in Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto, Emilia Romagna and Campania. Should Formigoni and Polverini be elected, they would have no legitimacy whatsoever, and they of all people should be the first to realise this. No regional law in introduced in Lombardy or in Lazio could be deemed to be valid by the citizens. At this point, every citizen of Lombardy or Lazio will have the right to “interpret” the laws in any bloody way they like. Today sees the start of a new Resistance because Italy is not the personal property of these incompetent bunglers. In some ways this bullshit law is a good thing. What is now patently clear is that the Country is busy splitting into two groups, namely the revolutionaries and the democrats. Us against them. Greece is close by and they may even come and give us a hand. Tloc, tloc, tloc. the rotor blades are turning. Tloc, tloc, tloc, the helicopters are warming up. They may never give up (is it in their interests?), but neither will we.
