My Scorpio Seems To Be Losing Interest

REFORMS

Giacomo Stucchi

Some people solace with wiretaps involving the prime minister, or with sterile polemics on the celebrations of the next March 17, but there's those who think the government will continue getting things done. The league belongs to the latter category. Government and the majority must go on, because the citizens deserve neither legislative nor the stalemate institutional paralysis. Of course, to see the timing of certain judicial decisions, out of the President of the Council, there are really some doubt. Again, while the prime minister was involved in a major political agenda, the Council of Ministers convened to approve the plan to open a new phase of economic development, arrived on time the demand for immediate trial pm. According to the Milan prosecutor's office there is in fact the "evidence" that nailing Berlusconi, accused of extortion and prostitution. While wanting to maintain the serenity of opinion on the whole story, we can not see, in this circumstance, as the procedural process and politics intertwine dangerously. The reality is that probably we are at a crossroads: going down the road of reform and stability, or to precipitate the situation. The Northern League, for the moment, he chose the first way and acts accordingly. The week policy has indeed registered the important meeting between our Federal Secretary Umberto Bossi and the President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano, on which the Minister for Regulatory Simplification Roberto Calderoni report in the House next week. Napolitano has never failed, especially in recent times, we always positive and enthusiastic references to federalism and the need that the same is carried out. The last of these references, however, goes back to his recent visit to Bergamo, during which the President of the Republic wanted to dwell once again the importance and need for reform. Are important signals, and add to the wish expressed by the Government, the last Council of Ministers, to put the trust on the municipal federalism. There will be so clear and democratic expression of a sovereign body, legitimately elected, to give imprimatur to further our reform. That was not rejected in bicameralina, as some members of the old bitterness and opposition to the new Government, as the Commission has just rejected the majority opinion of the rapporteur, Enrico La Loggia, on the decree reforming the municipal tax. The reform on fiscal federalism, then, go ahead and we are sure, will be in port soon. But we must put in mind that we are facing an opposition that does not discuss more on the substance of the measures and has decided to use only as an instrument of political struggle. Another problem, of course, but that does not stop our resolve to change this country.
