„Honourable“ colleagues,
What has been happening in the last few days is not just the umpteenth slap in the face for constitutional order, it’s not just been the desperate subversive manoeuvres by the leader of a political party at risk of going under. Here we have a whole country that is going under. It’s not about the eligibility of a single individual to be a politician: here, what’s at stake is the survival of the whole nation.
It would almost be taken for granted to run through the „dazzling“ political career of Senator Berlusconi: member n° 1816 in the P2, the well known illegal and subversive Masonic Lodge, a few dozen “ad personam” and “ad aziendam” laws {specific to particular individuals or companies} passed in the last twenty years to avoid criminal convictions at the last minute, and now a conviction for tax fraud and a sentence of 4 years in prison, and as luck has it, thanks to a law that his own party voted for. But, with respect, Senator Berlusconi is the past. Have a good gallop home Cavaliere.
