Frattini: slipping on the snow

The expression of his face, set by the photographer in a moment of total bliss, appeared happy and confident about the world like a child. He was smiling and happy oblivious Franco Frattini on Saturday after the exhilarating slalom ski run with great skill, because, as we remember his biography on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Minister was "master of alpine skiing, sports practice winter and has deep knowledge of the mountains and the natural and geomorphic mountain.

" On natural and geomorphic someone might raise doubts vocabulary, but it is not the case for doing so picky. Catsuit red neck white, yellow fog goggles, a gloved hand on the stick, the other to unfasten the zip of the jacket after the invigorating undertaking a festive look of a boy on a trip in spite of his fifty years, our Foreign Minister three days ago he attended a sporting event in Sestola, charming town of the Apennines, where, as culpably ignored, there is the tender "Parliamentarians in the snow." Who knows how many Saturdays you will be congratulated him for his perfect performance ski for downhill fast, along with his chiseled.

Meanwhile, the entire Mediterranean area and still continues to be rocked by protests and riots can change the entire political landscape of the countries that surround us. After the riots in Tunisia and Albania, on Saturday in the streets of Cairo, the army fired on the crowd, there were dead and wounded as they were being attacked shops and museums.

In this dramatic situation, filled with inevitable consequences for Italy, one could imagine a non-removable by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Minister, if only to be able to report comprehensively to Parliament. In Parliament Frattini is gone, but last Friday and not to mention the international situation, but the documents came from the island of Saint Lucia's famous apartment in Monaco.

Sorry to be critical of a minister so ready to smile, but not always choose the dates for its relaxation are happy. In the summer of 2008, when Russia invaded Georgia and the European Union summoned all the ministers of foreign affairs, he was sunbathing in the Maldives and decided to stay there.

A few months later, during 'Operation molten lead ", when Israel attacked Gaza, he was back on holiday from the interview was made in TG1 ski suit, his favorite costume, but not equally suitable for all occasions. Moreover it must be admitted that the need to talk about other things by Frattini is understandable.

Last Wednesday, while the situation in Egypt was falling, wrote on Facebook: "We hope that President Mubarak will continue, as it always has, to govern with wisdom and foresight." A few years ago with the Minister Carlo Panella skier published libroCambiamo route. A title that may sound today as promised or omen, perhaps.
