A while ago I went to a dinner with one of my dearest friends here in Italy, here name is Anya, Russian, here in Italy alone to have the money for her and her family in Saint Petersburg. As me she is in Turin (Italy) since 2000, working and now trying to have the citizenship (and we will talk about how this country is managing the immigration here).
At the end of the dinner, pleasant as usual, mixture of Italian cheese and salted cakes, Russian "pasta", red wine and icecream he told some more tales about URSS and the way the socialism has fallen. She told us about an happy country, where all had the possibility to have something, all had the right to study, work, live and have a house. Socialism has fallen because there has come a day where they have seen that outside the country there was a world more free. As a big factory URSS has given services to the people and information, the correct one, the one that says that they are living in the best possible world. And the day they have discovered there was something else, all the marvellous colors of the capitalism has come out and the story we know has come.
After that dinner I have thought about Italy, this summer the state has provided vouchers to go on vacation (just because the right to vacation is democratic), the work allocation in Italy seems lower than other countries not because there is work to provide but because there is somenting namend "cassa integrazione" where the state provided a sort of subsidy to the employees that stay at home. This Cassa Integrazione was initially limited mainly to the metal worker manufacturers, now even in some regions this is available for closing companies, for crisis in specific economy fields.
Last winter there has come one of the worst shame in this "democratic" country, the Social Card, the way to provide another subsidy by a credit card, to beg 40 euros a month.
Most of the channels in TV says that this is the best country, that the crisis is over, that we are better surviving above all. But the right to to demonstrate is finishing, the victims of the earthquake in L'Aquila has been stopped by the police. We have to read what really happen in the country by Internet because televisions serves the power. Today is the "No berlusconi day" 2 by Il popolo viola and no TV is showing anything (the day has not ended right???).
The same television of Russia, east Germany before the wall fell. Is it socialism? So seems to be it. It is out of doubt that this is the worst politics ever seen, meanwhile all are focused on the Monte-Carlo house and all is complaining that the economy development minister is missing, the prime minister, that is substituting him, is signing contracts to better gain commitment in him companies. And there is a lot more to say and I will come across to it.
Coverage, words not actions! The mirage of freedom to tell us that it is all right. Seems so that socialism of the past.
Maybe because the politics in Italy worth nothing, administration worth nothing. Words worth nothing, so blind to do not recognize the that this stupid administration is doing what is criticizing. All countries in the world have problems, but do we have to wait the people to step roads for riots? Do we have to wait for the prime minister to destroy the country to stay out of the jail?
Julia, I guess there is going to be a day you are going to see the president, ask him to keep an eye over Italy too.
