Franceschini returned Saturday to proclaim once again that the Democratic Party intends to "beat Berlusconi by political means and not through the courts." It 's a formula that we feel repeated with heroic stubbornness more than a decade. It's about time that someone explain to us what exactly means.
What would beat Berlusconi "through the courts? Prosecute him for crimes he committed is not the responsibility of PD, but the judiciary, which has the task of "beat Berlusconi," but to apply the law to pay the penalties that this provides. What could make the PD if boldly decided to "beat him through the courts? Notice to the judges to sentence and translate it to the nation's prisons? Salaried some imaginary crimes prosecutor added that those who do not need to invent? Delete Paolo Berlusconi, I stopped to make a lightning rod to his brother?
is felt pretty well what this haughty rejection of "judicial review" means to pretend that it has no political significance to the fact that a head of government violates the law, corrupt judges, corrupt witnesses, clusters funds blacks and devise fraud by hundreds of millions, all facts whose historical truth is now clearly established, although not always coincided with the truth of the case, assume that in this country sometimes highly fanciful appearance.
According to the management of PD, these are not political, but "personal issues" of Berlusconi. So much so that the argument most often flaunted these days is such that his "personal problems" would prevent to govern: a thesis rather ridiculous, continually contradicted by the facts.
But how can you argue that it is not political problems? Politics is the sphere of decisions and issues that affect us all. Whether these decisions are taken by someone who has violated the law which binds all the others is it not a political issue? No, it's a "personal problem".
And the Democratic Party does not deal with personal problems, dealing with politics. It is dealing with it so well that some luster you afford to ignore the main policy objective of Berlusconi, who is to reverse the institutional and constitutional in this country to introduce a system free from all limits and autocratic control. As demonstrated unequivocally the monstrous package of "reforms" of the judicial system brought into play at this very hour. Before which, rather than see the state of emergency and call for general mobilization, we discuss whether the case is to negotiate.
We hope that, at least this time, we do without the negotiating table. At least maybe this can be done without betraying this "political path" from which we must not derail ...
