stefan10 I pretty much agree with your view on the problems of Italy, so I won’t refute you in any way.
The point of discussion here is this: you blame Berlusconi for these problems, and that’s really unfair.
Berlusconi tried to reform Italy with a comprehensive constitutional reform (the first time in 60 years!), but the Italians people silly rejected it via a referendum. So what’s Berlusconi got to do? Abolish referendum and democracy?
As for budget numbers, the year 2005 was awful but numbers came back to normalcy pretty soon.
As for the €, I thank God to be in the Eurozone, I was just pointing out that responsibility for bleak economic performance lies with Italian entrepreneurs and not Berlusconi.
In the end, I think yor acquentainces in Italy are “blame-the -government-first” kinda guys or simply leftist Berlusconi-haters.
I really like italy as a country and know a lot of very nice italians what i absolutly not understand is why things do not change and when i feel frustradet how should the italian people feel.
the thread is titled: Berlusconi To Move Italy Forward
I just think he had time enough and in my oppinion the time was wasted but i have no idea if there was a different chance or why there is no better chance in italy but perhabs he get things done during his third period.
Italy and the italian people would really deserve it.
perhabs you should vote for your football players or coaches. They often show a lot of efficiency and a very well strategic organisation.
