I can't speak about the Italian press since I was not living here while Veltroni was mayor but the international press is hard on Berlusconi for many reasons. One reason being in no other democracy/republic could the leader of the country own/control 90% of the media. It's a massive conflict of interest. Nor would he be able to stay in office with so many legal issues.<br /><br />milanese - the PDL is already using it to their advantage. I'm waiting for Silvio's first big press conference.

If anything this helps his martyr complex. <br /><br />dalia - ha. Can't believe that was your verification. Publicly his opponents have wished him well, which is good. What I hope doesn't happen is that he will use this as an opportunity to clamp down on our rights even more. This is republic not a dictatorship. <br /><br />j. doe - his security was right next to him. Silvio was signing autographs and was in the middle of the crowd. The souvenir is not that big.

Really awful. For Italy. It shows how things here are reeling out of control.
