The care of the long -liver. On November 12, 2011, the Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi resigned. He had no sexual scandals and accusations of corruption. And only the threat of Defolt overwhelmed over Italy forced him to leave his chair. The whole era ended in the history of the country. Really forever?
Construction, television, printed, banking and insurance tycoon on a large political scene appeared back in 1994, 8 out of the last 10 years he spent at the head of the Italian government. He survived about 50 clums of distrust and a dozen challenges to the court on charges of corruption. Of all the fights - both with the court and with parliament - he went out the winner.
His hitherto successful game ended on November 9, when the parliament voted to execute the budget for 2010 - a catastrophic for Italy, before which the threat of total bankruptcy loomed with the subsequent exit from the eurozone. Berlusconi-Politics "killed" Eurocryrisis; Only 308 out of 630 deputies voted in support of the fourth Cabinet of Ministers led by Cavalier (as Berlusconi is called in Italy. - The New Times). “The eras of large political figures end either with a sudden departure, as in the case of de Gaulle and Thatcher, or personal political defeat,” said Juliano Katszola, deputy from the Berluscona Person of Liberty in a conversation with The NEW Times. - In fact, the cause of the political collapse of Berlusconi was his gap a year ago with a long -standing ally, leader of the Northern League party, Gianfranko Finni, at that time the speaker of the parliament. The second serious mistake was a quarrel with the Minister of Economics of Tremont, which was our guarantee in Europe and in the markets. ”
Finally, the aggravating factor in the eyes of Europe was the uncompromising of the chief ally of Berlusconi - the Northern League party, which is invariably opposed to such important measures as the abolition of the provinces, raising the retirement age and the abolition of elderly payments without work without work. Such payments - € 516 per month - a phenomenon for Europe is unique and is practiced only in Italy.
The inability of the executive branch to make decisions, coupled with sexual scandals and judicial misadventures, finally ruined the image of the prime minister and undermined his authority in the international arena.
Although Berlusconi promised President Georgio Napolitano that in the next election he would not exhibit his candidacy, we will not rush to play a funeral march on him, let's recall 1995, 2006, when he was defeated, but then returned. It's no secret that he is a fighter who knows how to hold a blow, and therefore many consider the prophetic phrase of the comedian Maurizio Krotstsa: "He is as a terminator: to get rid of him once and for all, you need to melt it."
The former European Commissioner, Technocrat Mario Monti, who formed the same government of technocrats, has replaced the Berlusconi, confuses the people. “Can this person, dressed in gray, whom no one recognizes on the street and who speaks of an emergency and victims, without inserting curses, become our savior?” - This is the question of the Italians - people who believe in miracles, inclined to rely on leaders, and not hope for themselves and for decades feeding on jokes and rhetorical issues. A priori won this cavalier - his politics, his morality, his language won.
