The gulf between B. Sarkozy and

I know it is now unnecessary and cloying, but I can not resist. The comparison is of rare red-handed, and once again says a lot about Italian anomaly. With us, the President of the Council discusses in a sarabande of insults. Call Gad Lerner and down a monologue angry and abusive. The next day, God forbid, the right to the headlines, the video on You Tube, in defiance of some blind and typhoid and visceral than others.

The Prime Minister of all Italians, once again, has stirred up public debate and invelenito. In a speech made by division, has introduced elements of fanaticism, words of last resort, and rejected any contradiction. In the same hours Nicolas Sarkozy, the Elysee, he held his press conference of the beginning of the year.

Five hundred journalists from around the world, two hours of intense dialogue. One issue, above all, on the agenda: the international situation, the G8, the G20, the economic crisis, the enormity of what happens in Tunisia ("we have not grasped the extent of the suffering of people in Tunisia"), the ' Afghanistan, the Middle East.

With journalists Sarkozy has always loved fight, even at the beginning of his presidency. Then he realized that the transparency and the impact of his actions and his conduct can not do without them, as are likely to be annoying. Here it is then respond in a very straightforward, not avoiding anything, self-criticism and then at the end of the press conference, chat cordially here and there, even as he spends evenings with Carla (DVD, Italian cinema, friends).

In short, the President has made the president, as is appropriate. He understood that the fight (he say to a guy who refused to shake his hand out of the way, asshole "is a good bet you will not do anymore), the brawl, I said, does not pay. Then there are the contents of its policy: debatable, of course, and democratically debated and contested.

But the opinion of the opposition, after his press conference, focused on G8, G20, Tunisia and more. What is called public debate where the world goes, where is Europe, where France is. Ruby is not where, not what is Nicole. Email this thing for two reasons. The first is to measure the gulf that, realistically, these days divides the two great European democracies.

The second is to respond to the many who like to consider Sarkozy's Berlusconi: sorry, can not be treated, if not for their dizzying heights.
