The year 2006 has been one of great changes for the country. Italians decided, with the elections, to turn over a new page after 5 years of promises and "ad personam" laws.
As I said in this blog before the elections, the new Government has two priorities: the return of the accounts of the State to a healthy economic position and the restoration of the rule of law.
The Finance law, even though it has many contradictions and it has seen that the government is incapable of communicating, has been a strong response to the situation of pre-bankruptcy of the State that we inherited.
On the topic of justice, the action of the government and above all that of the majority is basically in deficit. There is not yet any signal of discontinuity with respect to Berlusconi. Italia dei Valori has been fighting on this issue, and it will continue to do so in 2007, for the abolition of ad hoc laws and for the certainty of rights.
A new year is waiting for us. I hope that it will be a serene year for all Italians. A year for relaunching the economy, of greater social protection for the most deprived. A year for starting again, to set off and make our country great once more.
Greetings for the Festive Season. Antonio Di Pietro.
