Reflections of a town not just any ...
I hate gossip. I think everyone has the right to have a private life without necessarily having to submit to examination by the public - even though I grew up with the motto "the personal is political", but of course the meaning was slightly different. In fact, I hated
campaign that was unleashed when the Secretary Sircana (Prodi) has been photographed with a trans (but will also be about his business? We are not all equal, but the constitution guarantees – quantomeno in teoria – pari dignità a qualsiasi scelta, no? Poi uno può decidere di uscire allo scoperto, come Vendola, o – ammesso che sia tutto vero – tenerselo per sé, senza bisogno di cercare motivazioni riprovevoli a tutti i costi. Penso a me: dovessi mai decidere di sbattezzarmi, non penso che me ne vergognerei proprio, ma sicuramente non mi farebbe piacere che questo fatto venisse pubblicizzato. Non per me, ma per i miei genitori. E comunque tutto questo non avrebbe alcuna influenza su come la penso e su come mi comporto). Ma l’ultima gazzarra scatenata dal comportamento “poco ortodosso” del nostro PdC esula dal privato, non solo perché si potrebbe anche parlare di abuso di potere nei against a minor - ok, with the consent of the family even worse! - But also because the already unedifying episode was peppered with lies and then burst. Carry an illuminating article "la Repubblica", May 26: HISTORY. The "truth" of the father of Naomi and the falsity of the Knight Remembering Elio Letizia does not coincide with that of Berlusconi The first entry in a string of lies: "I've always seen in the company of parents. "
But then the prime minister himself to say ... of Giuseppe D'Avanzo One can imagine that there's at Palazzo Grazioli as "a crisis", at least from May 3 when Veronica Lario launched his political accusations against her husband premier. One can imagine a team (he took over the lawyer Niccolo Ghedini?) That puts together the pieces of too many contradictions, liaise with the protagonists and those who might become under control, influence the work of editors and political communication ; coordination of public statements and interviews of co-stars; distributes photographic services, which are useful to produce a contrived reality: we have seen with the performances of Chi (Mondadori).
If this "unity crisis "is really to work at Palazzo Grazioli, it must be said that his commitment is poor and damaging to Mr Berlusconi should take advantage of it to exit the cul de sac in which he was expelled, after twelve days, lying too many words in the first scanned days of the deal and the embarrassed silence opposed to the ten questions that the Republic has decided to extend dovergli.
Monday, May 25, yesterday, would be the day of vengeance. Sunday, the memories of Flaminio, the worker 22 year old Letizia romantically linked to 28 August 2007 to January 10, 2009, sent to the air tableau handled without wisdom (Republic, May 24). It was not true that the family Letizia nor the father of Naomi, Helium, had a long friendship with Berlusconi, says Gino. The Prime Minister telephoned the minor Noemi for the first time only in October 2008, only seven months ago. The direct dial telephone. No voicemail. No exchange. He told her words of admiration for his "purity" in an afternoon, for the girl to study. After that first meeting was followed by others, and then - as he admitted the young Naomi - Meeting in Rome, Milan and the ten-day holiday at Villa Certosa in Sardinia (26/27 December - 4 / 5 January) next to the New Year 2008, revealed by Gino.
This truth was quickly countered. L '"crisis unit" that decides to oppose it now has to be the father of the girl. Berlusconi approved the initiative and anticipates the press. "You will see that the girl's father will clarify everything in an interview, he tells of the genesis of our relationship" (Courier, May 25).
So it was. Mr. Elio Letizia, after categorical waste ["I have no intention (to explain how I met Berlusconi)", Today, May 13] decided to give the reconstruction Morning meeting with the Premier, how and when, the memory of the first meeting between the prime minister and his young daughter. Simultaneously, the prime minister recalls that first meeting with the Courier with Noemi. It will be out two stories divergent, yet another truth that erases the previous public versions, other serious inconsistencies.
Perhaps you will recall that Berlusconi said he had known Elio Letizia because he was "the driver of Craxi" (USA Today, April 29). The policy had been familiar in those days, invoked even by Anna Palumbo, Naomi's mother: "Berlusconi has met my husband at the time of the Socialist Party" (Republic, April 28).
Even Berlusconi, in an episode of Eastenders May 5 (title, "Now I speak") had insisted that that friendship was the color of the old political passions. The prime minister revealed to be flown to Naples to discuss con Elio Letizia di candidature alle Europee. Dunque, in questa prima versione "congiunta", i riferimenti sono Craxi (fugge ad Hammamet il 5 maggio del 1994) e il partito socialista (si scioglie il 13 novembre del 1994). Se ne deve dedurre che l'amicizia di Berlusconi con Elio Letizia, nata "ai tempi del partito socialista", risale a un periodo precedente al 1994, ad oltre quindici anni fa.
Nell'intervista al Mattino, Elio Letizia liquida per intero la quinta politica dell'amicizia. Non azzarda a dire che è stato un militante socialista né conferma di aver discusso con il presidente del consiglio chi dovesse essere spedito al parlamento di Strasburgo. La prima, insignificante stretta di mano, "nulla di più", takes place in 1990 (Berlusconi is a TV and calcium), said Letizia, while the "true knowledge there was in 2001" when there is no Craxi and his party is liquefied, then seven years after "the times of the Socialist Party ". Elio know - he says - that like Berlusconi 'books and old postcards and in the halls of the hotel Vesuvio (May 2001) suggests to give him a few birds. The idea like Berlusconi and Letizia joined him shortly afterwards to Rome to show the most beautiful "postcards of Secondigliano, where Elio was born and lives. Thus a bond that becomes an affectionate friendship and shared when Anna and Leticia Elio are affected by the cruel misfortune of losing her son Yuri in a car accident. Berlusconi si fa vivo con una "lettera accorata e toccante". Letizia decide di presentare la sua famiglia al presidente del consiglio nel "dicembre del 2001": "A metà dicembre io e mia moglie andammo a Roma per acquisti e, passando per il centro storico, pensai che fosse la volta buona per presentare a Berlusconi mia moglie e mia figlia"
(il Mattino, 25 maggio).
Questa è la versione dalla viva voce di Elio Letizia, dunque: il capo del governo "per la prima volta vide Anna e Noemi" nel dicembre del 2001 non in pubblico ma nella residenza privata del premier, a palazzo Grazioli, o a Palazzo Chigi. Noemi ha soltanto dieci anni.
Il ricordo di Elio Letizia non coincide con quello di Silvio Berlusconi.
La memoria del capo del governo disegna un'altra scena decisamente differente da quella che ha in mente Elio Letizia. Quando Berlusconi ha incontrato per la prima volta Noemi? "La prima volta che ho visto questa ragazza è stato a una sfilata", risponde il premier (Corriere, 25 maggio). Quindi, in un luogo pubblico e non nei suoi appartamenti pubblici o privati. Non nel 2001, come dice Elio, ma più avanti nel tempo perché Noemi avrebbe avuto l'età adatta per "sfilare" (quattordici, quindici, sedici anni, 2005, 2006, 2007).
Non è il solo pasticcio che combina l'"unità di crisi" immaginata. Le incoerenze that are derived from reading the two stories delivered to the press for "the Monday of the truth" are at least two others.
Berlusconi claims to know "that girl's family for over 10 years," then a lot longer than it recalled that Elio admits that he personally met the Prime Minister in May 2001 and introduced him to his family (wife Anna and daughter Naomi) in December. Eight years ago, and "no more than ten."
even contradictory reconstructions of the evening of November 19, 2008 when the Prime Minister calls Naomi in Rome at the dinner hosted by the government to label "Made in Italy, collected in the Foundation Altagamma. The girl sits at the "Table # 1" next to the president and Leonardo Ferragamo, Versace, Paolo Zegna.
says the head of government: "I saw Naomi no more than four times, I said, and three times in public. In Rome, accompanied by her mother. Villa Madama. In commemoration of Berlusconi, Elio is not there, is not present. Noemi is accompanied by her mother Anna. In
memories of Helios, Anna is not there and things went like this: "[Naomi] had repeatedly expressed a desire to see a fashion show live and had asked the president to please her. We were invited to Rome. Noemi went now at Villa Madama. I stayed at Palazzo Grazioli with Alfredo, the Butler, who saw the match with Italy, a friendly with Greece. "(The Morning, May 25).
In the story of Helios, there is no mention of Anna, the wife is not in Rome that day, November 19 or while traveling by train or at the Villa Madama Palazzo Grazioli in or before the TV with Alfred, the butler.
If the inconsistencies of this affair instead of melting s'ingarbugliano further with the last episode, it must register the first admission of Silvio Berlusconi after twelve days. Over time, the head of government has always said he saw Naomi "no more than four times and always accompanied by their parents." Today, grants, after the revelations of Flaminio, former boyfriend of Naomi, she had hosted at Villa Certosa for New Year 2008 without parents: 'It is true, was a guest at my house on New Year along with many other guests, I do not understand why it should be a scandal. "
hour's worth thinking about the word "scandal" chosen by Berlusconi. Scandal is not a New Year celebration, of course. Outrageous scenes are too contradictory, some simply made up ("Helium was the driver of Craxi"; "I discussed with applications of Helium," "I always saw Naomi accompanied by parents), that the prime minister has proposed to ' public opinion to justify its link with a minor and disprove the allegations of Veronica Lario. But there is another scandal at this time and takes shape day by day as a "political case" that challenges the chairman of the board - then a "case Berlusconi" - becomes a "case Noemi" that swoops down like a stone on the shoulders of a family without power, hidden in a corner of Portici, near Naples. A family now lost in the clamor that the besieged, disoriented in dealing with a tension that is not ready to deal, with no reference points in the enterprise to protect itself and the future of a daughter. There is an obvious imbalance that does not do honor to the most powerful calls to defend the weaker. An imbalance that becomes impudent when the prime minister's lawyers threaten to "civil actions" and then economic Flaminio, a worker who earns a thousand euro a month, "guilty" of having told a "truth" that hundreds of people have had for sixteen months under the eyes.
seems cynical calculation Berlusconi and the claim of the directors of the 'crisis unit "must be the family Letizia to explain, tell, show. This urgency, with all the evidence that Mr Berlusconi is not the Letizia, pushes the sunlight always been reserved for a family and jealous of his privacy. The obligation to address the visibility of the covers of weekly and curiosity of the media.
I Letizia does not have to explain anything to anyone, in fact . They are neither Anna nor Elio Noemi nor the protagonists in this affair. The "political case" has a single protagonist, Silvio Berlusconi, "charged with a public service." And 'this responsibility requires that the chairman of the Republic's answer to the questions posed. Those questions do not arise from a whim, but the inconsistencies of a version that has not held up so far, verification and appeared soon only a string of lies.
's three allegations of Veronica Lario ("minors attending," "not well", is elected "virgins are offered to the dragon") and replicas of the head lying government responsible for this "case" political. Not a girl and a family of Portici.

A me the relationship between the Letizia and Berlusconi do not need. But I am interested in having a leader of honest government (and I know that I ask the moon ...). One who raises the vote to Catholics and performs all the will of the Vatican because he is convinced, not for purely electoral purposes, even though, logically, I would prefer a more secular and who spoke to consider that, if we are all in front of the Constitution uguali, non è logico fare leggi che vanno bene solo ad una parte. Ma è l’ormai annosa questione del divorzio, per dirne una: il fatto che ci sia una legge che lo permette – neanche tanto all’avanguardia, se vogliamo proprio essere puntigliosi – non significa che un cittadino deve PER FORZA divorziare: se è contento del suo matrimonio perché buttarlo all’aria? Mentre ovviamente se la legge stabilisce che non si può porre fine ad una vita di sofferenze (la propria) con l’autodeterminazione dichiarata in tempi non sospetti finisce che se un essere pietoso mi aiuta a liberarmi di un peso è perseguibile penalmente. Ma torniamo in tema: uno che, per quanto unto, ha quasi due divorzi alle spalle non is that it can think of coming in to preach about family values, just to understand (but the church, one that defends the values \u200b\u200bof life and family, the Ten Commandments, because shut up?). One who tells fibs worse than Pinocchio can not expect to be credible. Someone who needs to stay afloat of laws tailor can not think of tying the other to respect the law - and this regardless of its name: it happened to Prodi, I would have written the same, in fact even worse because the candidate of "my "Part I demand more in terms of consistency and ethics. If, horror and dismay, it happened to a communist, I would be among the first to expose to public ridicule. Of course, with the evidence, otherwise it is pure gossip, and stoned before having ascertained the facts and responsibilities. In fact, the point for me is this: are so optimistic that I could also believe that the knight and the girl are friends of the family - Do not bring up things "weird" like "Harold & Maude ", so to speak. It's not so impossible that a friend of his parents affections of a child of the same, and there is not anything wrong if the two meet alone, how many times I went to the fair, I decade or so from there, with her husband, the friend di mia madre! O al cinema con un altro adulto maschio, amico di famiglia, senza che venissero scatenati tuoni fulmini e saette! Ma… ecco, c’è una piccola differenza – ed è il motivo per cui ho scritto questo post. Non è il profilo decisamente più basso dei protagonisti delle “mie” storie. E’ il fatto che noi, se qualcuno avesse domandato qualcosa, avremmo dato una versione univoca, senza contraddizioni e mezze verità. Perché se non c’è niente da nascondere, a chi giova farlo? E qui i casi sono due: 1) i rapporti tra i due sono un po’ meno limpidi di quanto il cavaliere e la sua ciurma si affannino a far credere - e questo posta ad un’altra considerazione, squallida quanto sconvolgente: si sa che la miseria fa fare cose “strane”, ma ci rendiamo conto dell’abisso in cui ci siamo fiondati, chi più chi meno consapevolmente? Pur di emergere, far carriera, “apparire”, buttiamo le nostre creature in bocca ad un mostro xxxenne per il solo fatto che ha il potere… 2) la loro conoscenza è effettivamente limpida – e allora la logica conseguenza è la domanda: perché impiastricciare tutto? Forse perché, nonostante il continuo richiamo alla famiglia, non si può fare less than a wink (always in terms of electoral gain) to people who maybe thinks that "Silvio is really tough, there is also the minors?
is not my intention to offend the - many - or at least Catholics can not communicate with my last statement below, but I have a right to think that anti-Berlusconi is so ingrained as to make him abhor the famous phrase "the truth is revolutionary "... so, better tell lies!
