Italy has had enough of being considered the land of bananas and clowns, the land where men still buy women to gain sexual pleasure and where political leaders are chosen on the basis of their sexual performances, where you can’t get a job without selling your conscience and your morality.
Italy yesterday and today was demonstrating loudly, peacefully and without any political colour for one simple goal: restore Italy’s dignity!
Italy is a beautiful country with so many resources starting from the people. But too many people continue closing their eyes and mouths in a coward acceptance of the behaviour of a political class that believes a brothel can turn into a Parliament.
Italy needs people who want to be heard and taken seriously, not special people – normal people – who are willing to shout NO against mafia, against corruption, against illegality, against the destruction of democracy. People who stop saying ‘this does not concern me’ or ‘there is nothing I can do to change this’. People must remember that what each one of us does / says counts. If we stop believing that our opinions have a value, that is when illegality wins and democracy ends.
We are not revolutionaries, we are not violent, we are not utopians. We know that world and life in general are not perfect. But one thing we know for sure, people faced with serious criminal charges must go to trial, because the law is the same for everyone, no matter who you are and what your job is.
ITALY CAN DO AND DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS!
All photos in this post were taken by myself during yesterday’s and today’s demonstrations in TORINO. I was unable to post my videos in this post for some reason, but you can find them on YouTube on LittleExplorersBlog channel.
Please share this post with as many people as possible to show that Italy is not silently accepting to be ridiculed before the entire world by Berlusconi!
Thanks for showing us a side of Italy, we, as outsiders are not aware of. I shall check out your video on youtube as well. Have a good one.

I don’t know what started all this. Maybe you can dwell in more deeper in another post about it to enlighten people–like me–who really don’t know.
Thanks for this news…
Hanna, thank you for your comment and your suggestion. I will try to answer your question …however I am not an ‘expert’ and my blog does not intend to be political. I only posted on this topic because I felt the urge to let more people know about the situation here, given its seriousness. I suggest that you visit the BBC World News page (you can start here ) where you can find some information on Berlusconi’s life and story, although, in my opinion, they depict the situation as being less serious than it is.
Thanks, I just read the article in the link you gave.
A new post on this topic is about to come up soon!
