di studente anonimo che fa il punto sulla situazione politica italiana degli ultimi mesi.
Recently we had parliamentary elections, but at the end of a terrible campaign the Democratic Party lost votes, while Grillini gained.
At the counting of the votes, PD had 30%, PDL about 29%, 5-Star Movement 25%, Monti List 10%.
According to the present election rules PD obtained the majority in the Chamber, while the Senate had none.
The Presidents of the Chamber of Deputies and of the Senate were elected.
Not having a majority in the Senate, PD sought an alliance with Grillini but to no avail.
Therefore, Giorgio Napolitano, the President of the Italian Republic asked Pierluigi Bersani, leader of PD, to explore the possibility of a premiership, but he failed to bring in the minimum number of coalition senators to get the majority. In the meantime Napolitano’s office had come to an end and it was time for the election of a new President of the Italian Republic, however none of the candidates were elected.
Losing confidence in his party, Bersani resigned. PD asked Napolitano to run for a second time, which had never happened in the history of the Republic. He agreed as long as PD and PDL formed an alliance, which fortunately happened.
After being re-elected Napolitano appointed Enrico Letta to form the new government sure that he would get the majority. According to the Letta agenda, this government should change the electoral system. Some say a part of the Italian Constitution will be changed, too, others want to change it all.
I think these politicians can be compared to children, they give the impression to remain in power for the good of Italy, but in reality it seems to me that they do so for their own personal interests.
I am sorry to hear that the youth of today will not have a job tomorrow, therefore we will be forced to go abroad to live. If I have children I’ll tell them: “Kids, luckily we don’t live in Italy!”
But if the situation dramatically improves, probably I’ll stay here and I will proudly say to my children: “Guys, we’re Italian!”
