Berlusconi and the State based on the Rule of Law

Thinking about the comments expressed yesterday at Montecatini by Silvio Berlusconi concerning the judges and the magistracy, it seems to me that Berlusconi is lacking a sense of the State based on the Rule of Law, rather than lacking a sense of the division of powers. It’s in keeping with his character: there are those who stand with people like Falcone and Borsellino and those who stand with Mangano…
But more than Berlusconi, the problem is those Italians who want to close their eyes and pretend that there is gang warfare between the politicians and the magistracy: a smoke screen to criminalize certain prosecutors who were investigating the powerful.
