[Nettime-bold] 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!!
Ciao
