Long live the psycho dwarf.

Congratulations to the mafia, the tax evaders, the enterprise business men, car owners, and the people that likes to take auto campers to Sicily.

Condolences to the environment, the social state, the precari (the employees with a time determined contract), the judges and the needy, which includes the public transportation.

Berlusconi has worn again, for the 3rd time the Italian people have put their heads under their arms, and believed if they are close to the rich, maybe the gold rains a bit on them. For two periods this hasn’t happened, so chances are that this will be exactly the same as the previous to times Berlusconi made a mockery of this confused country.

What’s even worse, is that it’s a much more extreme Berlusconi which has risen to power this time, gone is the christian democrats, which finally had enough, and instead the government which Berlusconi can present is a mixture of liberals (old fortza Italian), reformatory facists (National Alliance), and the north Italian liberation front (Lega Nord). The National Alliance, lead by Fini, wants a strong unified Italy, whereas Bossi, the leader of Lega Nord, has threatened with an armed revolt if Italy isn’t turned into a taxation federation where each part of Italy handles its own taxes, to allow northern of Italy to keep its tax money (even if half its workforce arrives from the south or as immigrants. The same immigrants as they want out). On the positive site, the opposition leaded by Walter Veltroni, seems to have the largest party in Italy, “Partito Democratico”, which hopefully will present a good counterweight against the extreme government.

So now that Berlusconi is back, and as the previous times he will probably spend most of his time making laws that will evade him and his friends from being convicted of various crimes. While the social problems, pretty much was left alone, but now he is able to keep his 3 nationwide television channels and earn even more money. Berlusconi solved his conflicts of interest of being a business man and a politician by declaring that it didn’t exist, tax evaders got the opportunity to evade, by paying a small fine. People with black money abroad got safe passage.

Now the problems are on the other hand so big, that he cannot just let it sail, because the ship is going down, and fast. But first he will probably start a war against the judges which have tried to put him to justice for years, and the journalists which put critical voices against him. Last time most of the journalists that dared to say anything critical was fired, and now he wants the judges to have a mental examination, which opens up for corrupt people to remove judges which could be problems.

So Italy, has shot itself in the foot... but if it wants to go to the hospital, they will probably only find a bridge to Sicily, wont be able to take a bus, or a train. But only the car without any taxes on.
