You really become so?

The foreign newspapers these days carry a number of articles on the trial of Berlusconi. I shall focus on two that, for various reasons, I found incredible: the first for the hardness unusual for the newspaper, the second to the unconscious masochism with which to defend the indefensible, we see ridiculous abroad.

The first is an editorial by the European Voice of February 3, titled Erosion of Italy's European tradition is a crying shame. The editorial was inspired by the commemoration of Tommaso Padoa Schioppa, presented as representative of the best Italian tradition Europe, to put your finger on the huge and grotesque gap with the current political leadership (I would add: and not just politics).
