The New Italian Holy Trinity

A few years ago, after an election won by the center-left thanks to the votes of the Italians living abroad, left activists, imitating slogans used by Church followers shouted " Tremaglia Santo Subito " (Tremaglia, the right wing politician who had sponsored the law giving a vote to Italians abroad, must be declared a Saint immediately).


Now Italians have new Saints. The recent weeks have seen a new Holy Trinity arising from the Italian disasters:


- President Napolitano, the Communist President who understands capitalism better than anybody else and who maintained the little credibility Italy still has with the capitalistic world;


- Angela Merkel who supported Napolitano (she used to call him instead of Berlusconi) and who played a key role in kicking out Berlusconi;


- Sarkozy, who, after kicking out Gaddafi, did it again with Berlusconi.


However, with the new Italian Government to be nominated soon, and in line with the costs savings measures needed in public spending, the Trinity will be reduced to two, Napolitano and Merkel, the financial markets kicking out the embarrassing third. And even more the Duality will assume an additional role. Angela will also assume the role of the virgin Mary. Wasn't she predestined with such a name and parentage ?
