BRUSSELS - "This is a summit that chatter. I'm quiet and wait for the right time to switch to the facts. " Silvio Berlusconi in Brussels remains silent. For two days he denies making the press shield with a motto for him - communicator par excellence - totally new: "Have you not yet understand that is to govern, not state," he said to reporters.
Alone among the leaders of the continent, is not responsible for its actions at the EU summit, avoid uncomfortable questions about Libya and Qaddafi, the Stability Pact and politics, but before returning to Rome only to say that it is "satisfied" for Odyssey of the NATO-led Dawn and the Italian command of naval operations.
So that goes to the Allies to promise four new planes and ships, including the aircraft carrier Garibaldi. Yet the Knight is black. We read him in the face. This is confirmed by those who attended the meetings of the European Council. An EU source said that "the prime minister entered the room and, instead of exchanging the usual pleasantries with other leaders, dark face he sat and began to read." It 's a prime block.
And furious. With print, the rumors about the dinner on Wednesday with the leaders of expenditure between songs (even ironic about Fini) and jokes while the country is effectively at war. But especially for the new ripping Sarkozy and Cameron in the closed meeting to try to pass the idea of small operations with ground troops in Libya and the press conference announcing a new initiative that cuts off Italy.
"Those two do not pretend to know our role in Tripoli," says the prime minister with employees. But they are ignorant "not in exchange for the command in Naples, the coalition promised ships and aircraft familiar to international law 'and their actions" not going anywhere. " In the private interviews they say certainly that the obstinacy with which Sarkozy seeks to exclude Italy is driven by political calculation: he wants to do business in the post-Gaddafi 'replacing our present economic and commercial matters.
But perhaps the Knight now forget the irrelevance of chronic Rome when in Europe we have to take the big decisions. In reality, the illusion of the Prime Minister is to return to the game later, if and when you open a window of opportunity to resolve the Libyan side. Sure, it would be easier if Italy had not entered the Odyssey Dawn.
So much so that the Knight in dinner with EU partners to let go and Merkel said: "Maybe you've done well to stay out by the alliance." A phrase that is still well to the German delegation impressed, amazed by all the words in contradiction with the responsibilities undertaken by Italy in the coalition of the willing (which Berlusconi, however, does not doubt).
For the rest of the Rider is silent, even when other issues are addressed on the agenda. So much so that in the summaries of diplomatic his name appears very little, even less than that of Malta Lawrence Gonzi. Berlusconi is afraid of losing more ground. Think of an international summit on Libya to Naples, but it is still a hypothesis.
It is said that in his suite at the hotel Conrad hangs a huge map on which Libya has long concentrated. Stands ready to negotiate with Gaddafi, while knowing all the risks of such an undertaking. For now, thanks to the Foreign Minister Frattini, works in a multilateral initiative pursued by the African Union.
Aims to convince the dictator to the cease-fire. After taking the stage two, the "do's" as he calls Berlusconi tried to enter a first person game. If he now realized that the Colonel is lost, at least wants to try saving his life into exile. But he will have to convince him to hand over to a man of confidence whether a "reconciliation" with the insurgents.
Meanwhile, the satisfaction comes from Frattini's visit to Tunisia and Maroni, who, through the good offices of the 'friend' Tarek Ben Ammar, talk about immigration with the new authorities. A mission which the Prime Minister congratulates a statement. Also because the promises made to the League to save the government (naval shield and distribution of refugees into the EU) in Brussels did not get anything.
Indeed, it has not just talked about.
