VOLKSVERSAMMLUNG IN ROM: Proteste vor dem Parlament gegen zweite Amtszeit Napolitanos – Livestream

Nachdem zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der Republik Italien, zum ersten Mal seit 1945 ein Präsident zum zweiten Mal für sieben Jahre gewählt wurde – der 87-jährige Giorgio Napolitano von der Partito Democratico, P.D. – haben die Italiener offensichtlich endgültig die Schnauze voll von der Kaste der etablierten Parteien.

Tutti a Roma!

Dear people,

It’s going down, right now, in Rome.

Seven years ago, the Berlusconi party cried wolf when Giorgio Napolitano was elected president without Berlusconi’s consent. I still remember the headline of his personal newspaper. “As from today, the hammer and the sickle are flying over the presidential palace”, in reference to Napolitano once having been a member of the Italian Communist Party.

Now, Berlusconi has been one of the architects of Napolitano’s re-election

Beppe Grillo: ‚È un colpo di Stato‘. Il Movimento 5 Stelle cala su Roma

Beppe Grillo, gridando al “colpo di Stato” contro la rielezione di Giorgio Napolitano al Quirinale, cala su Roma. Alle 19.30 arriverà nella Capitale per manifestare sotto il Parlamento e ha invitato i militanti del Movimento 5 Stelle a partecipare: “Non lasciatemi solo”. “Saremo a milioni”, promette (o minaccia) il leader di M5S, fino a ieri impegnato in Friuli per la campagna elettorale delle regionali.

Sicuramente basteranno alcune migliaia di grillini per mettere in difficoltà la gestione dell’ordine pubblico nella zona di piazza Montecitorio, che non può accogliere grandi masse come San Giovanni o Piazza del Popolo. Questo è l’appello lanciato sul blog beppegrillo.it, “#TuttiaRoma – appello agli italiani“:

Twitterers mistake Czech Republic for Chechnya in Boston bombings

The confusion caught fire in Czech Republic, with at least one newspaper suggesting intensified geography lessons for American students.

The Czech ambassador to the United States decided that the accussations had become so intense it was time to issue a statement.

Ambassador Petr Gandalovic said:

As more information on the origin of the alleged perpetrators is coming to light, I am concerned to note in the social media a most unfortunate misunderstanding in this respect. The Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entities – the Czech Republic is a Central European country; Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation.

Votes for porn stars and footballers in farcical Italian presidential election

In the second ballot, most members of the centre-right and centre-left blocs appeared to have cast blank votes, with the candidate of the Five Star Movement, academic Stefano Rodotà, receiving the only significant support.

The tense atmosphere in the lower house of parliament, where the election took place, was alleviated only by the occasional vote for an Italian celebrity such as Maurizio Merli, an actor from the 1970s, and footballing legend Giovanni Trapattoni.
