Rome, 7 October (AKI) – Italy’s top court, the Constitutional Court decided that a law granting immunity to Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi violated the constitution and is thus illegal.
In September, the state attorney said if the law was deemed unconstitutional, Berlusconi could be unable to govern. «It could damage to electoral functions that would not be able to be carried out with due commitment, it could also cause resignations and, in any case, it would cause irreparable damage,» the state attorney said. The ruling comes two days after Berlusconi was declared to be jointly responsible for a corruption conviction against his holding company Fininvest in a 1991 battle to buy publisher Mondadori and will have to pay more than 1.1 billion dollars in compensation.(quoted from http://www.adnkronos.com).
Will something change? The top court decision can have the effect to put an end to Mr. Berlusconi government (hopefully). But the true question is what Italians will do. Have they changed their mind about the premier? Will they go on supporting him?
Should this happen the only chance will be to focus on child education in order get some result al least in next generation
