Shoes Squeak When I Walkdansko

G. La Malfa: I'm disappointed, Berlusconi goodbye. Now


Dear Editor,

on 4 September, I sent to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for a long letter explaining the reasons for my discomfort with particular economic policy of the government, the more 'in this difficult world crisis. Just

economic policy was, in the aftermath of the entrance of Italy into the euro, one of the compelling reasons that led me to propose to leave the PRI and the center-left coalition to join the coalition led by Berlusconi. The entry into the euro was necessary and urgent a profound turning point in Italian economic policy because 'the euro would no longer be' possible to protect the competitiveness' of the country through regular industrial devaluations of the lira exchange rate with which they covered our structural weaknesses. The two center lines of the program were to reduce the tax burden and deregulation.

debitopubblico Given the size of the tax reduction constituted a substantial reduction dela current expenditure and in particular a contraction of government that stifles the capacity 'of citizen action. Instead, between 2001 and 2006 and there 'was no reduction in current public expenditure, the tax burden and' what was left, and the liberalization of the project I submitted to the Council of Ministers in charge of the project in Lisbon, was abandoned in 2006 and never again 'again. Ancora piu' deludente il bilancio di questo primo anno e mezzo di legislatura. Accantonato ogni progetto ambizioso di riordino della Pubblica amministrazione (compresa l'abolizione delle Province) per ridurre la spesa corrente e quindi ridurre la pressione fiscale, il Governo ha finito per limitarsi ad una politica del giorno per giorno. Ma questo non ci garantisce affatto l'aggancio alla ripresa mondiale quando avverra' perche' comunquel'Italia non e' sufficientemente competitiva.

Non abbiamo condiviso la riforma federalista dello Stato dalla quale scaturiranno inevitabilmente, per il modo con cui essa e' stata articolata, nuovi oneri per la finanza pubblica.

In mancanza di una vera riorganizzazione di tutta la politico-administrative machinery, the promise to devote more resources to the north-central tax together with the need 'to ensure the South the resources it currently enjoys will bring' definitely an increase in the deficit or the tax burden. On a more 'political, I have many questions about various aspects of foreign policy, while a long series of mistakes in crisis is putting the delicate balance between the secular state and the Catholic Church that was one of the best fruits of the collaboration between DC and parties lay in the postwar period. The time within which Italy must change the road you are doing more and more 'quick. The world does not wait for our slowness and nostreesitazioni.

new countries entering the market and spaces for Italy tendono a ridursi perche' le imprese hanno costi, tra cui quelli fiscali, troppo elevati. La scuola e l'Universita', da cui nasce l'innovazione, versano i condizioni disperate. Il sistema pensionistico richiede, per essere sostenibile, un allungamento dell'eta' pensionabile.

La Pubblica amministrazione e' insopportabilmente estesa e costosa.

Ecco perche' sono giunto alla conclusione che per noi una fase si e' chiusa ed e' necessario aprire una riflessione sul modo nel quale realizzare nel Paese la svolta politica indispensabile per fermare il declino italiano che dura da quindici anni e preparare un degno futuro per i nostri giovani. Mi creda!

religion, Nucara: Proposal unacceptable.

"The proposed time of religion as a subject with the status of school discipline is unacceptable and calls into question the Concordat. " He said the secretary of Francesco Nucara Pri.
"If the Vatican wants to teach the Catholic religion in Italy can do it in its private schools, not impose it at the school in the State who belongs to another faith or will not have any."
