Ioana Lupea: "In the evening of the 21 of February 2001, a woman and her eleven years old son were killed by multiple knife wounds at their home in Novi Ligure."
The 16 years old surviving daughter incriminated an Albanian immigrant. The North League immediately started a campaign against Albanian immigrants and called for a great demonstration. The march was cancelled after the police found out that the teenager herself did the killings in Novi Ligure. The harm had been done. The fear of Albanian immigrants helped the right wing forces to win the general elections of 2001.
In 2008, came the turn of Romanian criminals to serve at the triumph of the "Liberty eople" coalition, formed by Forza Italia, the neofascist National Alliance and the North League. The Romanians were the escape goates, just as easy as the Albanians were. The Romanian community in Italy has no political or economical power. Broken and almost self blamed, it is not defended by the Bucharest authorities or by famous Romanians in the Peninsula, like Ramona Badescu, candidate for Rome on the lists of Silvio Berlusconi's "Liberty People".
Italy has a criminality prolem. But it isn't a "Romanian problem" how it was announced in "Cotidianul" from the 4 of November by Gianni Alemanno, an "Il Duce" sympathizer and the elceted mayor of Rome, but one born from corruption, inefficency and a sparse society, that can be cured only by reform. Italy is encountering an economical crisis, and the state's institutions are on the verge of bankruptcy. But the "new Roman phalanax" of Silvio Berlusconi, Gianfranco Fini and Umberto Bossi, couldn't win Italy or Rome with an unpopular program of economical and institutional reform.
Lacking another offer than the image of Silvio Berlusconi's personal succes, the right made a diversion , well supported by the media, half of it owned by the elected Prime Minister, on the danger represented by foreigners. Trough the exaggerated reaction over the Romulus mailat case, the Italian left, regrouped around the former mayor of Rome, Walter Veltroni, also helped at the right's triumph. Between the immitatator of berlusconi and the immitators of Mussolini, the Italians preffered, obviously, the latter.
Silvio Berlusconi promised the Italians in 1994 and 2001 that he will perform a "new economical miracle" in Italy. With all these, after two decades, with the left or the right running the country, the economy is falling apart. The IMF prognosis say that Italy has an economy growyh of only 0.3%, the lowest rate in the EU. "The Economist" warns that production will drop, this year, under the European average, and next year it will be surpassed Greece. The right will not do anythingh about it. It will not upset the population, nor the unions and the groups with economical interests by starting a reform. On the other hand "la nuova falange romana" promisses to satisfy the fear of foreigners and the Italian's discontent over the Eu by requesting the revising of the Schengen treaty, disdainfully in front of the right for free movement in a common Europe.
