Graduates and non-Graduates

During a meeting with Rutelli, the current President of the Council (Prime Minister), raised the issue as to whether I had really gained a degree and then stated that most of his political adversaries are not even graduates.

I talk about facts, not with lies or allusions.

I’m showing him the certificate documenting my degree in jurisprudence gained 19 July 1978.

The same year that the President of the Council signed up to the P2 {the Masonic lodge}

In politics using a university degree as a yard stick is not an absolute. A university degree has value. But at the same time so have attributes like political honesty and the ability to govern, attributes which are absent among those of the centre right.

I would also like to remind the President of the Council that his ex-mate Bettino Craxi wasn’t a University graduate either.
