We are representing these days, in different countries of Europe, extraordinary comedy of the absurd. The actors are the most prominent men of government - in France, Spain, Greece, Germany, Italy - but they are so well supported in this by all other states responsible for social and political life, and above all by journalists, that we, the poor citizen-subjects, we can not understand why their hectic work there seem so lacking in a real sense of direction and fearful for this.
The spectacle offered by the "actors" Italian is tragic and surreal at the same time. Berlusconi, Tremonti, Bossi, recite wonder their little battles on the budget, transfer of any Ministry in the North, on the need for central government to help dispose of waste in Naples, as if indeed these were the political problems of a nation which must not only provide for the orderly life of 60 million people but which, due to its geographical position, its commitments with the EU and NATO, is at the center of economic and military interests worldwide. The objections are to the game with an almost incredible diligence and punctuality, keeping fixed the attention of citizens, but apparently even his own, on small details of these disputes as if you were here enclosed the main problems of the Italians. If sometimes the debate seems to become stronger, it is only because the exchange ofinvective has become more violent and vulgar terms, but it is in all cases of empty invective: used to feed the comedy. Of real politics, the dramatic real problems, no one is talking, or the government or the opposition.
