Hallo everybody from Milan.
I've read several times on comments regarding our Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
I've decided to make some remarks because i've kept that most of people express ideas on things they don't know or simply reporting what the media write. They are in fact more interested in reporting gossip than real facts.
First of all i want to remind everybody that Silvio Berlusconi was twice elected Prime Minister and he was in 1999 and in 2004 the European politician who has kept the largest number of personal preferences at the polling Stations for the European elections. More than 4 million of Italians have in fact written 'BERLUSCONI' on their ballot paper.
It's true many European politicians don't have a particular attraction for Berlusconi, but this is especially because while most of them are simply bureaucrats and they have probably never worked on their lives, Berlusconi is a man that comes from the business world. Something so closer to envy..
For this reason i look at Berlusconi not as a simple person who now belongs to politics, but as a person who tries to make politics more efficient. And he is making the job.
Before of him, Italy was well known for its political instability and for a the low profile of its politicians. Except Alcide De Gasperi, who is not only one of the Fathers of the European Union, but he was the man who took over Italy since after the end of WWII and he was able to bring the country into a new era: the Italian economic miracle of the '60s.
Now it's time that the 5th world's economic power will be represented with a class of politicians who really represent the reality. And Berlusconi is one of those.
He was for the first time able to keep the word since electors chose Forza Italia and the coalition of the House of Liberties to lead our Country, and his government carried out an enormous task that complied exactly with what had been promised during the electoral campaign. This had never happened before in Italian history.
The Government has introduced 332 measures. The Chamber of Deputies and the Senate have already turned 184 of them into laws and they are now working on the remaining 148. As a result, all taxes on medium and low income earners have been reduced; tax breaks for children have been doubled; 1.000.000 new jobs have been created; a number of important reforms (school, tax system, labour market, major public works, company law, decentralization, legislative simplification) have been promoted; public spending has been rationalized and so on.
Many who were 'living' on previleges have tried to stop him, a few magistrates that were inspired more by their ideology.
In fact now, after that all the investigations failed and Berlusconi was fully acquitted, those zealous magistrates have quickly abandoned their job to find a protection into their natural home, politics. Most of them were in fact later elected in the European Parliament or in the Italian Parliament in the small Communist party group.
We don't have to forget that even if the Italian Communist party was always in the Opposition, they were training thousands of magistrates and teachers and using them for their political interests.
The international and domestic media campaign against Berlusconi, that sometimes it seams a real agression, has despite of the end of his process not stopped.
Almost any newspaper has reported that, and almost any newspaper has reported the real result of this 10 years of 'political' investigations on Berlusconi (and just on him.. strange): 750 million of euro that have at the end be spent for nothing. Berlusconi was acquitted.
The Italian people have always belived in this 10 years on Berlusconi, and everytime the magistrates have tried to start investigations on him (this it has usually happened everytime before at every election since 1994) the Italians have replied at the polling station, confirming their, our, confidence on the man.
Despite of what it's written abroad, the main problem for Italy and for all Europe it's represented by the media. The largest part of the Italian and European journalists are left-wing oriented. Even in the Berlusconi's TVs.
As the Wall Street Journal has recentely reported, even if Berlusconi formally could control the 75% of the Italian TV, in reality he has the 75% of the media against of him, because those journalists represents the lobby of who don't want any changement. But the changement is set, and Italy is now a better country where to live.
Many reforms were passed and the first results are under the eyes of everybody. A labour market that is become the most flexible in the all Europe, the unemployed rate in the south that was strongly reduced (in the northern regions it's a full occupation), less bureacracy that means more freedom for the enterprises to invest, less taxes that means more money the Italians can re-invest and a massive programme of investments with 100 bln euro in 10 years in the public infrastructures that means more jobs, more efficiency: the authomatic damns who will protect Venice from flooding, the bridge between Sicily and Calabria, 10.000 km of new high speed train lines to add at the 8.000 km already built, 18.000km of highways to add at the 22.000 km already built.
In 2001 Berlusconi has said he wanted in one year to see Italy becoming a 'Big Yard'. He has kept the promise and many private investors have taken part to the challenge, because this projects don't come from a typical politician, but this projects have come from a man that has showed he was able to do.
But unfortunately the media are inspired by other things.
Ciao, Marco
