I need air. I have a legitimate impediment like a breaking of balls. A “Lodo Alfano”, a Pecorella law, some kind of law that they will think up tomorrow. A farce dressed with an Italian sauce that has been going on for too long. Should Berlusconi have himself put on trial or not? After 15 years of being put in charge by the President of the Republic, the Opposition has licked his arse, the newspapers have done investigations on Bunga Bunga and on D'Addario’s backside rather than on the death of Borsellino, they still want to put Berlusconi on trial with headlines and articles on the front page? A guy that has already been judged and found guilty a thousand times by the Italians? We’ll have to organise campaign groups for self-defence from these swamps, from his daily miasmas. We risk being asphyxiated.
In every other democratic state, Berlusconi would be in prison or anyway not in Parliament. In Italy no. The problem is thus the State, not Berlusconi. With what cheek has Napolitano allowed Berlusconi to become the President of the Council? Pertini would have had him thrown down the stairs. Remember Veltroni who shook hands with Berlusconi after his appointment to the Lower House (and even before that …)? And D'Alema who gifted him the TV frequencies with a special law in 1999? And the Fiscal Shield and the Great Pardon approved thanks to the Opposition? And coming to today, to the new bastion of antiberlusconi-ism, to the incinerators, to Vendola’s business dealings with Don Verzè in Apulia? Berlusconi has bought up Italy, at least whatever is for sale, and in Parliament nearly everyone is, not just the former DiPietro-ists Razzi and Scilipoti.
Now the decision of the Constitutional Court is being celebrated as a victory for democracy. A decision that in reality leaves everything as before. The judge will decide whether the President of the Council’s justification to not turn up in court is legitimate. The judge? How can a judge decide whether a meeting with Putin or Merkel, or participation at a meeting of the UN or the G8 is or is not legitimate? We are not at Aunt Maria’s nursery with the note of justification from our parents. Let’s be serious. He will never turn up and his presumed crimes will get timed out due to the Statute of Limitations. I’ll bet my old Prussian blue jumper (it’s very valuable … as a keepsake). The whole country has delegated its politics, its future to some gentlemen who are as respectable as you like, to the eighty-year-old judges of the Constitutional Court, but whose job is not to create a revolution for third parties. But still today, just for a change, the topic of a nation that no longer has a helmsman, that is close to economic collapse, dominated by the mafias, the topic is whether or not Berlusconi has fucked a minor.
