As I write, the Air Force and the Army of Libya in Tripoli are massacring the protesters and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi tries not to "disturb" his friend too Gaddafi. Berlusconi and his foreign minister, and identified by their European colleagues, have wavered, hesitating to condemn the actions of Libyan dictator, defended until recently as an important ally of Italy.
I particularly warm personal ties with the Italian premier was seen as a valuable asset for the country. It is not known whether to laugh or cry, but we are in front of the foreign policy of the bunga bunga. It is not merely a humorous joke, it seems that for years the most cordial relations that Berlusconi has managed to establish with the world's leaders have always preferred the worst dictators: Vladimir Putin, Qaddafi.
It will not be a coincidence that both appeal to Mubarak's name to justify his intervention to get out of trouble, and the hands of the police, the girl (then) minor Ruby Heartbreaker. In fact, the judicial fate of Berlusconi hangs on this very thin thread: claims that he should not be judged by a court in Milan, but the court of Ministers because he acted in good faith, albeit mistakenly, as he believed that Ruby was really the grandson of the Egyptian dictator.
Of course, if he really thought that the girl was the granddaughter of Mubarak, would be delivered to an officer of the Egyptian consulate, not the Regional Council of the PDL Nicole Minetti. It may seem a stretch to tie the feasts of Berlusconi and Italian foreign policy, but unfortunately it is not.
In fact, it's pretty clear that the style "personalist" the Italian prime minister (to use a euphemistic term) clearly borders on the erotic sphere of his life. In the words of Ruby itself: "After dinner, Berlusconi asked me to go down to the bunga bunga, who took time from his friend Gaddafi, referring to a kind of harem women in the lower floor of the villa." And do not forget that in his meeting with the escort of love Patrick D'Addario, Berlusconi indicates the "Latvian Putin." Why does the Italian prime minister has a big bed that used to orgies given to him by the head of another state? There are strong suspicions that even the U.S.
government Berlusconi to take advantage of his personal ties with Putin and Gaddafi to do big business with the oil. Moreover, among these leaders, there are undoubtedly cultural affinity: we remember the famous press conference in Sardinia, where, after a question a little 'direct addressed to Putin, Berlusconi has picked up an imaginary machine gun to prove who knows what, perhaps as was running the risk impertinent journalist? We also remember the spectacle of the grotesque and absurd Gaddafi in Rome: Libyan dictator is allowed to put his nomadic tent in the park at the Doria Pamphili Gianicolo, stealing a public good day for citizens to satisfy the whims of a narcissistic dictator.
In no other democratic country would be allowed such a thing, to be repaid with Gaddafi various antics and insults to the Italian public did in those days. When asked Gaddafi to stay in a tent in New York during a visit to the United Nations, the U.S. government rightly responded with a curt refusal, telling him to stay in a hotel like any other world leaders.
In the Italy of Berlusconi, Gaddafi was allowed much more strange was that show in which Gaddafi has gathered two hundred Italian women (chosen for their beauty and pay for their presence) to preach his version of Islam : basically a kind of sauce in the Libyan version of Berlusconi's parties.
What these reports have influenced personal Berlusconi to some extent in its foreign policy is beyond doubt: it was the part of Putin in complex and controversial events, even during the war with Georgia, and we have seen in recent days his embarrassment arising relations with dictators from Mubarak and Gaddafi in the face of protests, peaceful and democratic.
During his stay in Rome, surrounded by two hundred girls, the Italian prime minister did not hesitate to visit Gaddafi in his tent. And to answer to critics of his close relationship with the Libyan leader, Berlusconi said: "Whoever does not understand the benefits of this new friendship of the past.
But we look to the future." But what kind of future are we talking about?
