The silence of Berlusconi and the talk of the League

While all eyes, including and especially those of politics, are turned to the markets, Silvio Berlusconi chooses the line of silence. And to avoid commenting with predictable harshness on the sentence that condemned Fininvest to compensate Cir for the Mondadori affair, last Sunday he even gave up speaking, even if only by telephone, at the PDL's Mirabello conference. A line of absolute caution, therefore. Although it is not easy to predict that it will be long-lasting after the very harsh statements made by her daughter Marina on the sentence of the Milan judges. Instead, the leader of the Lega Umberto Bossi spoke of the sentence, albeit implicitly, for whom "justice is doing its duty, but it hits critical points in politics". He then adds that the League remains in government to reassure the markets. Thus it is up to Minister Calderoli to develop the propaganda of the Carroccio, announcing that on 23 July three ministry offices will open in Monza and, adding, with regard to the maneuver, that only pensions exceeding six thousand euros will be cut. The line of prudence is also chosen by the opposition parties, who say they are ready to do their part for the rigorous policy that Europe and the markets are asking of us. In turn, the President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano seems to appreciate the line of prudence chosen by the policy and observes that "if we are serious we need not worry".
