Когда Берлускони уходил, его провожали криками, свистами и дождем из монет. Надо отметить, что это одна из характерных черт итальянской политической культуры. Итальянцы любят победителей и не любят тех, кто уходит, даже если они уходят сами. Не все итальянцы, конечно, но те, которые ненавидели Берлускони. Их всегда было недостаточно, да и сегодня недостаточно, чтобы победить его на честных выборах.
er Our TV news reported that Russian media tried to downplay the political situation in Italy, probably due to the friendship between Berlusconi and Putin .
But it seems it is going beyond spreading carpets .
Berlusconi was the one who created this situation .
If he had governed in a way to place the common good at the top of his interests, the crisis coming from far and mismanaged by the EU, would have been lighter .
Italian political culture is not made by showers of coins and this is the second time in twenty years it happens, but people patience has limits .
If Berlusconi wanted to prove himself truly responsible and generous, he should have resigned on the 14th of Dcember last year, when he had not the majority of votes anymore .
But in some way, with methods he probably learned from his Russian friends, he collected MPs here and there and kept on working for himself and his companies, rather than for us, the people who voted him .
If one claiming to be a journalist has no knowledge of what he is speaking about , or just wants to present a biased and dishonest version of events, he better stay home and do house chores .
