It’s the first time since the war that all the parties, all the institutions, all the TV channels and (nearly) all the journalists have concentrated on a single election target: „il MoVimento 5 Stelle” {the 5 Star MoVement}. They are all in agreement to maintain the status quo. If a popular movement that refuses to have any sort of public financing, that is hated by the Confindustria and by the trade unions, by the right and by the left, that’s even attacked by the office of the President of the Republic and by the major national newspapers, that creates so much fear, it means that a social earthquake is about to happen. The MoVimento 5 Stelle {5 Star MoVement} is the change that cannot be stopped. It is the sign of the times. It’s the arrival of a popular democracy that insists on making decisions, on controlling the destiny of its country, of its town, of its life. In Italy there’s never been democracy. There’s been the passage from the Monarchy to Fascism to Party-ocracy. We are living in a regime in which the results of the referendums are ignored, like the one for the financing going to the parties, and the one on nuclear, the popular laws are not even discussed, the Parliament is appointed by five people. We are servants of an extended group of powerful people that doesn’t even concede the appearance of participation.
