In the 92-93 the League and AN were in the forefront of the "Justicialists" who railed against the corruption of the five governing parties, revealed in its full deployment and "normality" by the investigations of Clean Hands. Today, many years later, the PDL, of which AN is a part and the League an ally, has become the "defender of rights" party. In reality, the coalition of Berlusconi was not really Justicialist in 1994. How could it be, given that the leader was already investigated.

While a good part of the world is committed to enjoy the consumerism of Christmas, not everyone in this period has the opportunity to celebrate. In Italy for example have little to cheer the precarious workers and the unemployed who spend the holidays on the roofs to save their jobs: they are Ispra researchers, Fiat's workers of Pomigliano and Termini Imerese, employees of factories Agile and Russo.

Since we aren't all brothers, the world is what it is, and in many places at Christmas there isn't much to celebrate. The French Revolution had as its cornerstones Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. The first two words were often used as political slogans, more or less sincere, but it's the third word the most important. Fraternity, or Brotherhood, in fact means understanding that what happens to my brothers also concerns me.

A planned expenditure of 16 billion euros to buy 131 JSF fighter-F35: about 270 euros per person for all citizens, including newborn babies. To play war, we know, they always find the money. Even when they don't have it to fund social measures in times of crisis. But then the purchase of these aircraft is not just an italian matter, but concerns all the NATO and was planned years ago.

The main problem of the Italian right is that always had a tendency to act with pure arrogance. Fascism was in fact the glorification of bullying. The fascists were violent thugs, and instead of being ashamed, they boasted it. After the fall of the regime this attitude was disliked by most of the new parties, and thus discouraged, but every now emerged anyway. Then Berlusconi brought back bullying in Italian politics.

While for an ordinary person there is nothing positive in an aggression, for a politician can be a great luck. Especially if his loyalists immediately make every effort to turn it into an instrument of propaganda. The act of a madman is definitely the best thing that ever happened to Silvio Berlusconi in the last year, from the viewpoint of a cynical political strategy.

Quaranta anni meno un giorno fa, la strage di Piazza Fontana. Oggi, la strage della democrazia italiana. Chissà, qualcuno potrebbe anche dire che il disegno eversivo di quegli anni è stato portato a compimento. Da altre persone, con altri metodi, con meno morti. Cosa volevano all'epoca l'estrema destra italiana, appoggiata, non scordiamolo, da pezzi dei servizi segreti, della polizia, dei carabinieri, della politica, dalla CIA, dai servizi segreti militari americani e dai regimi autoritari di Grecia e Portogallo?

Uno sciopero generale che interesserà scuola, università, accademie, conservatori, enti di ricerca oltre a ospedali e uffici pubblici: la protesta di domani organizzata dalla Cgil contro il Governo durerà 8 ore. L’obiettivo è sollecitare il rinnovo dei contratti di categoria, per la stabilizzazione dei precari e contro la riforma della pubblica amministrazione voluta dal governo.

Berlusconi goes delirious at the Congress of the European People's Party and nobody replies because basically the European right admire and envy him. Nobody like him has managed to achieve such power, so as to survive in any scandal, keeping up just the illusion of democracy, thanks to the propaganda on television, an inspiring example for the world of dictators. Italian judges prosecuting him are communist, his refrain is always the same.

Ogni religione è sbagliata. E non parlo solamente delle religioni che fanno di un qualche Dio il loro punto di riferimento. Parlo anche delle religioni politiche, ad esempio il fascismo, il comunismo, ma, perchè no, anche il liberalismo e qualsiasi altra scuola politica che la mente umana sia stato in grado di concepire idealmente o realmente. Al contempo, però, ogni religione è legittima e ha diritto di proporre la sua idea di società e i suoi valori.
