The election of the president of the Senato with the victory of Franco Marini has been an “add-on” to the poisonous election campaign conducted by the Centre Right. The opposition has declared that it doesn’t want to allow the new majority to govern.

The opposition continues to talk of election fraud and I believe that at this point there is enough evidence for denouncing them. The opposition is indifferent to the destiny of the country; and  for many aspects it has demonstrated this indifference during the 5 years it was in government. However, the opposition is attentive and watching out when it’s a matter of defending the interests of the entrepreneur Berlusconi, the inspiration of this tactic of “cupio dissolvi” {I want to die}.
I believe that the government and opposition can face up to each other, even vigorously but at the same time they must have as their main reference point, the good and the stability of the country.

The one who today is denouncing a situation of weakness of the majority in the Senato is the same person who caused this by approving an election law that was conceived exclusively to create ingovernability.

At the moment the citizens are judging us and I believe that their patience is running out. Let’s try to be more serious and more responsible in exercising this our role to be their representatives.
