1994 - 2007: the same film script
First the Minister of Justice who intervenes on Forleo’s requirements, now the Attorney General of the Cassation Court, with a warning to the judges from the President of the Republic to watch what they are writing. It seems like a film I’ve already seen.
In 1994 as soon as we arrived at the top levels of politics, there was a coalition of the whole system to criminalize the magistrates, rather than to do a serious examination of conscience about what had happened in the relationships between politics and business.
Thirteen years later, we’ve got exactly the same issue as we had then. And once more, it seems as though it’s the magistrates who are at fault for trying to do their duty and not the politicians who are trying to take advantage of their role.
However, now as then, I have the impression that there is a clear division between the legal country, the one of the high-sounding institutions, and the real country, that country of people who want true justice, equal for everybody.

In the American management classes there is a constant reference to the "organic" theory of management which points to the fact that as in the human body,when a part is rotten the entire body will become rotten. The most recent events point to fraud and collusion in the highest spheres of the government such as the Bank of Italy and the legislative and executive branches. As in the past the juduciary branch stands alone to be challenged and attacked by all sides, even from the President`s office. Italy needs help from the EU or the UN now to check the ascent into chahos.
