Dear All
Italian politics has always been a boisterous affair from ex strippers standing for parliament to a Prime Minister accused of bribery, corruption and tax fraud.
A thing however seem to be getting a little out of hand as Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was punched in the face during a rally.
And punched hard, drawing blood!
A man has since been arrested after the assault on Silvio Berlusconi; he will be facing prison for this as it was caught on camera bang to rights.
Berlusconi was after the assault taken by car to hospital for treatment and kept in over night.
Berlusconi at some point faces trial on charges of bribery and corruption, there is also the issue of Tax Fraud, stripped of immunity from prosecution, things don’t look good.
On top of Berlusconi’s tales of woe, one of his Cabinet Ministers has been ordered to stand trial for corruption.
Raffaele Fitto, the minister for regional affairs is accused 500,000 euros (£450,000) in return for political favours.
I am sure that people will be interested in what his story will be.
The incident in Italy shows that politicians aren’t held in esteem as they used to be, the major failing for the Italian people is that they have to bite the bullet and remove these people from public life.
As for Berlusconi, he should learn to bob and weave down the gym and next time have better security or have the ability to slip the jab!
Yours sincerely
