Lack Of Opposition Or Lack Of Responsibility?

Talking about politics Italy is an unique Country. The Prime Minister builds and re-builds laws that, coincidence, always help him to get rid of some trials. Media and journalism don’t seem to be too shocked about that and they just don’t say a word about the huge clash of interests oppressing the present Italian political life, but, on the contrary, they even praise the Prime Minister “nearing North Korean levels of adulation”, as the Financial Times has recently stated.

In all the Italian political situation what is even more unique is the total lack of opposition. It simply doesn’t exist. Simply.

A part from Antonio Di Pietro (leader of Italia dei Valori) no one from the opposition wing of the Parliament does what he is supposed to do: to oppose.

Walter Veltroni, leader of Partito Democratico, has recently stated that there is no longer alliance with Di Pietro. Questioned by journalists in these days Veltroni and the rest of his Shadows Gang (“Governo Ombra”) insisted on the fact that Italia dei Valori is too aggressive toward the Government and that, at the end, it opposes not to the Government but just to the opposition, PD, itself.
