You’ve said it all. Guys there is not solution. We reached the bottom! This country è alla frutta! I have spent 15 years abroad learning enterprise and business. 3 years ago I decided to come back but… it was big mistake. Siamo un paese ingessato, with too much mafia bullcrap going on. We are rotten inside. Deep inside.

It’s quite simple.
We’re living in a “modern dictatorship” here in Italy. Objective television doesn’t exist no more, most of newspapers are reporting Prime Minister’s “Sexual Performances” with underaged girls or with escorts but nobody reports the real political and social situation in our country.
Yesterday our government approved a xenophobic bill and nobody’s protesting. We have not a real political opposition, most of young people haven’t a political ideal even less a idea of modern politics and democracy!
There’s no more culture in Italy. An example? Two of the most followed television programs are “Big Brother” and “Isola dei Famosi” a kindo of “VIP survivor”….That’s all…
Living in Italy today is boring and demotivating and of course “dangerous” if you have a different political idea as our government.
This is our country today and I guess it will be worst in the future.
Italy’s people merit what they already have, this is the only truth!

For the first time in Italy is going to be transmitted your report over Mr.Berlusconi(22june h21.20 on current tv, sky 130).I want to higlight that CLEARLY it has been censured until now, and we all run the risk of “last-minte chenages” in the schedule. I really hope that it will be followed by an high portion of italians and, morever it will open up their mindset. I’m an universitary student but actually I can’t see my future in the “Belpaese”

Almost 6 years have passed since then, but nothing has change… Or better it all got worst… Our democracy has become just a mask… Prime Minister Berlusconi holds almost the entire information here in Italy: if I watch any tv newspaper, I see his lackeys defend him from any kind of unexistent conspirancy against him… And the paradox is that his party’s name is “People of Freedom”, a paty who’s killing press freedom and independence… The new government Berlusconi approved a new immunity bill called “Lodo Alfano” which gives immunity to the President of Republic, the Prime Minister and the two Presidents of the High and the Low House: there are 4 people above law… Now that the sentence for Mills Trial has been published Berlusconi has been indirectly found guilty of corruption and he’s still in his place! He has transformed the Parliament and the Government in an instrument to change laws in his favour… I don’t now if you now it there in US but we have a law that say that the maximum number of ministers is 12: we have 23 or 24… The Government, in its electoral campaign said tha provinces will be eraised as a step to a federal country but in the next amministrative elections will be elected the members of the presidence of a new province, the 101st! They impose us catholic moral, even if we don’t agree… We can refuse useless cures, we can’t adopt a child if haven’t been marrid for three yers! Those are examples of the hypocrisis of our Government… An episode is particularly significative: several months ago there were massive manifestation of high school and university students, researchers and professors because of the awful founds cuts to school, university and research, in Piazza Navona have been violent battles between left students and right students… Well those “right students” were policemen in civil clothes sent there to provoke students in order to present them to public opinion as violent and brutes that use Government’s decision as an excuse to destroy as much as possible… I am an university student, a future researcher… I won’t have a future in Italy… Not in this Italy… Thank you, hope you will open someone else’s eyes…
