The Only Constant Is Change Volcom

The quality of governance is not a private matter

Also this morning, like any other in recent weeks, at least one of the Opening of the first three news online national newspapers about our famous prime minister. The news today is that the Times criticized and attacked him in his editorial . I mean ... The Times, not Pincopallino ... I find it rather worrying. But Berlusconi responded with the usual refrain, "are all false insufflate (I learned a new word) from the left." Sure, why rather than be a minimum of self-criticism and think for a moment the consequences of his behavior is much better than the blame on those bad guys of the left, who hate him so much and want to defame him.

Berlusconi invokes the law to protect his privacy, but it should go and read the code of ethics privacy, delivered by the Order of the Office of the Supervisor reporters July 29, 1998. Us, that we had him to investigate, we know that the privacy of public figures can only be breached if the news have a significant role in their social or their public life. This principle is explicit in the two main functions of the press in a democracy: to spread news that help to shape public opinion and to monitor and criticize the various authorities and private institutions. The point is this: If Mr. Berlusconi was no one could even arrange bacchanalia in his house with the guarantee that a journalist would not have permission to document the fact and make it known. But since Berlusconi is nothing less than the prime minister ... The Times this out well in the summary: the quality of governance is not a private matter.

The editorial begins: "The worst aspect of the conduct of Mr Berlusconi is not the fact that it is a jingoistic fool. And even that is accompanied with women younger than 50 years, abusing his position to provide jobs as models, personal assistants as well, it sounds absurd, candidates for Parliament. What is most shocking is the utter contempt with which it is the Italians. " Later you write that Berlusconi's private life is obviously private but then he recalls the example of President Clinton. "Many people may also say that Italy is not America: that the standards of the Puritan ethic in the United States has never dominated the Italian public life, and few Italians were shocked by womanising (a womanizer). This is not sense. The Italians understand well, as Americans, what is and what is not acceptable. "

course I understand! Now the walls have also understood that the conduct deprived of the dignity of the prime minister is outrageous and inappropriate for his office. And he is doing something for our country, in the eyes of the world, a great figure .......
