"Italy is the country I love". (Silvio Berlusconi). But wait: Which one? The "Emperor" made his fortune within these august shores and should be thankful of the Country's tolerance pardoning his dalliances for such a long time. Now no more. Which one? The one alive and kicking in his plans only? The one Gelli has been having in mind more than thirty years ago when he put in action the super-secret so called "plan R", infiltrating his masonic lodge people in the media, trade unions, magistracy? Certainly not the one of even more numerous families that struggle every day to make ends meet, the ones that find themselves sacked from a long-time job and now redundancy fund recipients because the plant has outsourced thanks to the market that "will take care of itself" to use a coinage now much fashionista in Tremonti's environments? Certainly not the one that the "Emperor" is yet again trying to axe in two ever-fighting camps, much detrimental to the current economic situation not in its best nick. He'd better resign.
