Italy can teach us anything? After the celebrations for the tenth anniversary of the death of Craxi, the question is more legitimate than ever. You might think of as a figure Craxi uncomfortable that the Italian leaders of today would like to forget. But instead of erasing the memory, the authorities in Rome have decided to honor him with a ceremony was also attended by President Giorgio Napolitano. Perhaps no other episode that illustrates so well the Italian tolerance towards corruption and lawlessness. THE GUARDIAN, UK.

The world of Italian politics has been celebrating the former Socialist leader, Craxi, ten years after his death in exile. It is a remarkable turnaround because Craxi was sentenced and is considered the main cause of corruption in Italian politics during those years. But now, to the delight of some - including Silvio Berlusconi - and to the dismay of others, the process of rehabilitation of Craxi sent seems to be going forward. THE INDEPENDENT , Great Britain.

Craxi? It was not the head of an Italian government, an ally of the United States, a friend of Israel and an enemy of terrorism, which the Police had deployed against American soldiers in Sigonella, not to capture a Palestinian terrorist? No, it does not seem possible to me be wrong.
remember correctly, or is it that Bettino Craxi friend and protector of Arafat, the smart grabber with the Christian lover and suitcases full of dollars of European countries "for the poor Palestinian children," he instead put it in his pocket, the By day chatter of peace - he even had the Nobel Prize - and at night armed war against the hated Jews? Oh, sorry, time dulls the memory of me, you know.
It was not that - but no, it can be - that despite the tradition of secular and even atheistic socialism, just as the socialist Mussolini, for cynical political calculation, he renewed the Concordat with the Church, just as Catholics themselves no longer We hoped more e lo piangevano per morto?
E’ questo il Craxi di cui oggi tutti riparlano? Ma non era quello che divise con Andreotti il primato del maggior debito pubblico del dopoguerra, con la lira costretta a continue svalutazioni sui mercati internazionali per favorire le nostre esportazioni, e con un’inflazione che arrivò al 20 per cento? Non fu lui a imporre in Rai, nei cento Enti di Stato e ovunque, nel potere e nel sottopotere, i suoi uomini, perfezionando in modo sistematico, brutalmente predatorio e parassitario lo spoil system inventato dalla DC?
E allora, come mai, questo Craxi a 25 anni dalla morte è diventato improvvisamente "un grande uomo di Stato", mentre invece non riuscì neanche ad essere un man of decent government?
me confused with someone else, or was this just for Ben to do the hard, the bully, to express smug arrogance that had never before seen in the Italian politicians after Mussolini? Just listen to his speech and semantic interpretation: authoritarianism oozed from every sentence. E 'syndrome of bad socialists: Scratch a socialist and discover underneath the authoritarian. And that lack serious in claiming to be a Democrat or even "liberal" (as opposed to the evil communists, who do not see how they could be even more bad) now someone has the nerve to call it "personality", "carat weight of great statesman "?
And finally I'm taking a crab or that Craxi was to generate, even without a direct hit but as a model, the Berlusconi, who is nothing if not a craxismo less decisive, less efficient, but far more pervasive and totalitarian?
If we're talking about the same Craxi, then I think I remember that his crimes were mainly political and political conduct, rather than judicial. You set the policy so brazen as domain, such as employment, such as squandering of state property, and then the citizens, to use not so much not just personal, but the Party, of his fellow politicians, his power elite. At this point, very important to us liberals, the arrogance of Craxi was unique and unique, despite recent attempts to imitate.
But, again, had only to hear him speak: a liberal politician never talks like that. There are worrying tones and phrases in common between the Sermon on the bivouac of the other socialist Ben and the Discourse of "Cosi fan tutte" with which Craxi called accomplices like all politicians in full Parliament, if I am guilty so are you, I I assume my responsibilities, but also you have to take them. What is speech? And 'maybe heroic? E 'from the great man? Not really. E 'defensive argument that since there is law and the process has always felt the guilt of those who act without the slightest grant a mitigating factor.
But if however, this Craxi was "great political strategist" just for putting in the former allies of the Communist Party bosses, who oppress the Socialists since the Congress of Livorno, perhaps to have an instrumental and often defended the secular parties represented intermediate, thus breaking the area of \u200b\u200bcompromise DC-PCI and the MSI even indirectly giving back space (which is why, apart from the similarity with the other Ben, the post-fascists speak well), it is indisputable that in addition to the "strategist" there was the ' businessman, corrupt, not so much private interest, which would limit excusable, but the paroxysmal craving for political power, that is for us liberals a much more serious because more than understandable defects to become a human system.
right, has had certain powers and against the judiciary, has been targeted, but the fact remains that the bribes had been the main source of financing of the PSI and Italian politics. The corruption that the Democrats were under the table, and ashamed of confessing to church, he did by force and leaving countless tracks. For this was definitely convicted to 5 years and 6 months for corruption (bribes Eni Sai), 4 years and 6 months for illegal financing (bribes Metropolitana Milanese). And note that other processes were extinguished "for the death of the accused, including three with convictions on appeal to three years for the maxi-tangent Enimont (illicit financing) 5 anni e 5 mesi per le tangenti Enel (corruzione), 5 anni e 9 mesi per il conto Protezione (bancarotta fraudolenta B. Ambrosiano), come ricordano giustamente i giornali .
In tempi di liberalismo nascente, nella cara Italietta, sarebbe bastato uno solo di questi fatti a determinare le dimissioni e la damnatio memoriae del politico. Lui, no, aveva anche la pervicacia, l’alterigia di considerarsi nel giusto, proprio mentre rappresentava al massimo livello l’Italia della corruzione politica e del malgoverno.
Altro che statista; fu il sinbolo di un’Italia sbagliata che vorremmo dimenticare, fondata sulla prepotenza e arroganza del Potere, sulle raccomandazioni dei mediocri, sulle tangenti, on the waste of the wealth of all parties on churches seen as omnipotent. All things illiberal. The
devote even a road, now is not denied to anyone, including the most brutal dictators like Stalin and Lenin, but who was this really Craxi we liberals can not forget. Via
Craxi? Not only that, but also via the craxismo, and forever, from Italian politics.
