| <nettime> BERLUSCONIMANIA: THE REVENGE!!! |
BERLUSCONIMANIA: THE REVENGE!!!! THE ATMOSPHERE While the criminal idiots from the dim, distant terrorism of the seventies keep on their actions (the crazy murder of a minister = assistant) , there is (at last!) a mass answer to the political situation in Italy. A 3 MILLION manifestation in Rome's Circo Massimo (the old charriot-race stadium of movie "Ben Hur" but the crowd reached to the Colosseum), called by italian Trade Unions. THE SCENE Berlusconi keeps on mambo/dancing on his starry staircase (expressing the fever of neo-liberism & TV-POWER) & he seems to be followed by strange fellows: MR BLAIR is with him (what about the socialist pact?) & several european countries seem to follow the rightwing dance: Portugal, Danmark etc... The dance number is becoming impressive. THE MUSIC Mambo number 5 by Perez Prado (of course) THE MANIFESTATION 3 MILLIONS PEOPLE have met in the heart of Rome showing the best energies and thought of what is left of political ideas. THE PARTECIPANTS= All social classes,all social groups, all trade unions, all students, all no-global groups, & families & children & dogs & .... THE SLOGANS "WE ARE ITALY" "Against terrorism" "Dissension is not terrorism" "Vaticano do your business, we will think about the school" (from students groups & very stylishly translated) "X our children" "Yes to democracy and rights" "We only like one unemployed: Berlusconi you are fired!" & MORE TO COME!!
