INTERCEPTION OF EVIL

POLICY sinking

of SERGIO ROMANO

The telephone conversation between Berlusconi and Sacca is only Another episode in the interminable sequence of interceptions that has become the most morbid and educational reality show of national policy. Never before, however, it seemed that an episode at the same time arouse many reasons to be appalled ed'indignazione. I write in first person because I am afraid that some of my feelings of naivety but I hope that Beijing can be enjoyed by many Italians. We have learned that behind the scenes of power, there is an intense exchange of petty favors, that the support of the league is won by a fiction and that the vote of an elected official can be bought with the assumption of a soubrette. How you can make great speeches to the nation, and expect to announce major reforms be believed when we speak, the intimacy of a private conversation, the language of the brokers? The tape recordings of conversations of Nixon (an event that shocked the public for several months in the U.S.) were a tragedy of power. This is just a bad play. An executive at
Rai calls the opposition leader to ask him to interfere in the decisions of its board of directors. He speaks as a character of its worst fiction and is ready to repay the interference finding space for an actress in programs dear to a politician that should be winning the friendship.
Berlusconi is justified by an argument (Rai are all recommended), which describes quite fairly, in all probability, the conditions of the state television. But his words we learned that one of the largest national politicians is not intended to reform the public service, it seeks to use it, if possible, better than others.
Rai has responded to the words of former prime minister with statements tartufesche: one of those releases that are made for the facade, in the belief that everything, however, will continue as before.
The judiciary, for the umpteenth time, seemed insensitive to the consequences of their actions and do not seem prepared to establish how and when the intercepts should leave a file to finish the meal in public.
The political class, with some notable exception, acted with his usual style. The opponents of Berlusconi and his friends were shocked when they defended it. If the intercepts were affected members of the center, as happened a few months ago, the roles were reversed. Never before in these circumstances we have found that the majority and opposition, even when they claim their differences, are similar as twins.
Rai at the service of politics, political leaders in private that contradict their public programs, invasion of privacy, indifference of the judiciary, hypocritical or instrumental responses: I do not know what the worst of evils identified by that interception. But I know that these events are digging a pit in which the whole Italian political danger of sinking.
