The best and worst of the week, with gloss catoniana.
Every Saturday you will find one or more articles in the national press during the week, in my opinion deserve - for better and for worse-to be made available to readers catoniani, with a brief comment.
This week:
Corriere della Sera - Letter to Sergio Romano

Reading your article on the vote of confidence granted to the government, I was frankly appalled. I refer in particular to the first part in which she considers useless "to quibble with acrimony" on how Berlusconi got the votes of some members. First of all, the word acrimony is absolutely out of place, ahead of heavy suspicions of vote-buying is the duty of every honest citizen to express their outrage and their suspicions. Secondly, faced with a situation of moral and political disintegration, should be just the voice of the people or historians like you to rise higher. I do not think that the fathers of the fatherland or the many children who have perished in the resistance efforts throughout what they had for an Italy in which a man like that, because of its economic power, can juggle at will the political life of a nation. This is not a matter of right, left or center but who has your back straight and the values \u200b\u200bof honesty and those who do not own them.
Dear Camerin, if you had the impression that the word "bitterness" expresses a certain discomfort to the parliamentary debate on the "bought and sold," she has got it right. I'll try to explain why. In all parliaments there are two contradictory requirements. The parties would like to see people elected on their lists in their name or remain aligned and faithful to the end the legislature. But we would like all the deputies and senators were free, responsible to their conscience and the ability to interpret the programs of their party in the light of political and economic developments in the country. Among the settlers of 1948, there were certainly political leaders who were counting on the obedience of their followers. But when he must choose between obedience and autonomy, they chose the latter and wrote into the Constitution that "every member of Parliament represents the nation and carries out his duties without a binding mandate." This article has allowed Gianfranco Fini to assume critical positions within the party with which he was elected and thirty friends to follow after the establishment of a new political force. Because, in principle, the same article should not allow some of these people to make subsequent, in other circumstances, the opposite choice? The vote of no confidence is much more than any show of dissent. It means the opening of a crisis, with no effects at the time of the vote, is able to predict. I guess his answer. You could argue that the passage of the field, in this case, it would have been hired and properly rewarded. Maybe. But I do not know democracy, beginning with the United States, in which the Member is not seeking to use its vote in the decisive moments, for what seems useful and appropriate. You might reply that in this case there would have been even cash rewards, ie the lowest level in the scale of political bargaining. Responds that there are at least wait for the certainty of a sentence, but hasten to add that I see behind these criminal investigations reinforce the belief that policy issues can be resolved in court. There is now a form of 'pan-law' that gives prosecutors and courts the task of "censorship of democracy." This is why I believe that the parliamentary debate on purchased should not even like the opposition parties.
Sergio Romano is my personal passion. How could it be otherwise with an intellectual who wrote a book called "Memoirs of a conservative"?
His style is precise, cold, surgery.
rarely let escape.
In my ideal government, former foreign minister would ambascitore Romano.
