Resistere, resistere, resistere

"To resist, to resist, to resist as against the Austrian on the Piave river during the first world war".

This is what said in January 2002 Francesco Saverio Borrelli, the Chief Prosecutor of Milan referring to the campaigns against the judges launched by Berlusconi and his allies and to the laws "ad personam" (made to suit one person) approved and being approved by Berlusconi's government.

This year we have seen Berlusconi winning the elections again. And yesterday a declared fascist, member fo Berlusconi's coalition, became major of Rome (see in the picture the fascist roman salutes celebrating the victory). This is democracy, but a false democracy where the one who controls television and part of the press, the richest peson in the country, gets elected in spite of conflicts of interest and many legal proceedings against him, mostly dismissed due to the laws he had adopted by his own governments. Italy is now a Bana Republic, not much different from Putin's Russia (the best friend of Berlusconi by the way).

If you are American, British or even French, if you are a Jew or a human rights activist, if you are an European, if you believe in Human Rights, do not forget that Berlusconi won the lections thanks to his alliance with the post-fascists, do not forget that he tries to assimilate the fascists who fought against the American and British troops during the second world war, who promulgated the laws to discriminate Jews, who sent to concentration camps in Germany Jews, opponents, partisans, Italian soldiers who refused to join the nazist after 1943 with the partisans who fought for freedom from nazism and fascism.

Do not forget that on 25 April 2008, the anniversary date of the end of the occupation in Italy, instead of joining the celebrations, Berlusconi met with a declared fascist, a certain Ciarrapico, he wanted in his lists, the one who publishes hagiographies of nazis and fascist leaders.

This is a sad time for Italy and for Europe. But I will not give up.
