Der Spiegel: Silvio Berlusconi as Italian became the Superman

While appearing on many international press comments on the Italian situation and a Prime Minister wrapped up in the scandal that instead of answering his behavior and his crimes and refused to stand trial guilty of attacking the judiciary to investigate, propose again a detailed and unforgiving article published in Der Spiegel almost two years ago, which I think is well to show how all the elements were already well aware of the time. Of course, in the meantime have been added, and not just two grounds of offense, forced prostitution and child extortion, and Italy has sunk a few feet deeper with the brothel Arcore, but the same is to diagnose the disease and elapsed time from this lucid analysis shows rather how we are now entering into a long agony:

As Silvio Berlusconi became the Superman Italian

Alexander Smoltczyk on Der Spiegel

March 15, 2009 (in my translation from the English version)

Silvio Berlusconi will always remain suspect for the Germans. On 24 February, for example, the Italian prime minister stood beside President France's Nicolas Sarkozy and facing the world press. Sarkozy was talking about the bilateral recognition of university diplomas. Berlusconi suddenly he bowed, and with a wretched smile painted on his face, whispered something to Sarkozy. Sarkozy smile with a grimace of discomfort and said, "Well, I do not know if I should repeat it ..."
Subsequently, a French television has summoned an expert on cold sores. Apparently he said: "I gave you your woman ..."

The phrase has nothing to do either with university degrees, nor with the situation in question, and had even less to do with the reality. But provided a clear indication of what this man was thinking while he was Italy's home next to her husband Carla Bruni.

Silvio Berlusconi is obsessed with power, which means that it is also obsessed with sex, and does not seem to worry that someone gains access to it. In fact, Berlusconi seems at ease in public speaking both of his facial plastic and his hair transplants, both the health of your little friend.

Last October, Berlusconi has been caught leaving a Milan nightclub in the early hours of the morning. He had just returned from a summit in Paris on financial crisis and was eager to be among the people. "If I sleep three hours," he told a group of people who were out with him, "I have enough energy to make love for another three hours." He was the head of the Italian government to say this, the leader of a country founders of the European Union. Today is 72 years old.

Over time, the lower parts of Berlusconi appears to have gained the upper hand on his brain. In January, after a series of cases of rape, he promised to provide better security. But then he added: "We should have as many soldiers as there are beautiful women in Italy. But I do not think we will ever get this "

Berlusconi's body has become his means, and uses it with very few scruples, just as it does with television stations he owns. For Berlusconi, appearances count and superficiality is his message. In fact, the obsession with the body of the "Knights", as Berlusconi in Italy is called, has almost become its own branch of sociology.

The book "The Superleader" Boni Frederick, communications expert at the University of Milan, was published last November. Last week, he added the study of iconic Marco Belpoliti titled "The Body of the Head." Studies were performed on the smile of Berlusconi and its use of religious symbolism. Social scientists have decoded the body of this powerful trying to read and interpret it, as if, somehow, lies the secret of his success. And maybe it is. It is the anti-political power, the showman as a statesman, the comedian as leader. It is everything and its opposite.

Mussolini is known to have taken on different roles, posing as a peasant, riding, laborer, as a businessman, a soldier or a father. "But," says Boni Frederick, "if the overall picture of Mussolini made sense. Duce was in the service of his country. Berlusconi, however, is a superhero featureless. As a character in a cartoon, it can take any form: a football coach, Messiah, sex maniac or a father, a national leader or pianist, nightclub, a devout Catholic or a libertine, boss of the factory worker or "

in him something feminine. (...) Like most of its power, Berlusconi is attentive to his diet, and removed the unwanted hair and need for surgery for wrinkles and excess fat. (...)-The interception of a telephone conversation of several minutes between two women members of government took place in Naples last summer. The two women were expected to discuss ways to persuade the prime minister to make concessions during talks on the budget, and one of them mentioned the word "pump" or "small pump." This has sparked rumors about the possibility that Berlusconi may have a penis prosthesis.

The comedienne Sabina Guzzanti said publicly: "You can not appoint someone
minister of equal opportunities simply because you sucked the bird."
The minister in question, Mara Carfagna, has threatened to sue the actress. The father of Guzzanti, a former senator of the formation of Berlusconi, took the defense of his daughter and has since left Forza Italy, the party led by Berlusconi.
would be a matter entirely futile if the story had not directed attention to a certain approach to politics that does not draw any distinction between the private and the public, and in Italy it is even more widespread than in Sarkozy's France.

Berlusconi has transformed the entertainment in politics and politics is a reality show. His lawyer was appointed justice minister and his personal physician is now a member of Parliament - (...) A former showgirl pinup and represents the interests of women in Berlusconi's government.

Mara Carfagna Before becoming a member of the government, worked for the television of Berlusconi. Not long ago, spoke to the audience of his measures and his experience as a participant in the Miss Italy contest. A video on YouTube shows the Carfagna, in his days prior to the policy, pulling on a shirt along the sides, revealing that he is not wearing anything under. One of the first initiatives Carfagna has been the introduction of a new law making street prostitution a crime.

Berlusconi's Italian television has released the audit of the bishops led her to the promised land of consumerism. This is his historic achievement. In 1983, his first television channel Italy invented the phenotype of "vellum," a creature with large breasts and long legs. Since then, almost every television show has produced a vellum, usually standing near a man with short legs who talks incessantly. Today there is even a competition for Veline. A large percentage of Italian girls aspired to become a Vellum, hoping that this will allow them to marry a footballer or a pop star - or to become a minister.

(...) Another wiretap, this time of the summer of 2007, has been posted on YouTube. In conversation, Berlusconi asked a favor to the then director of Rai Fiction Saccà Augustine. Saccà (...) Berlusconi Saccà promptly asked to find a job for a starlet who was the girlfriend of a senator of the left with which Berlusconi was in talks. A few months later, the government of Prime Minister Romano Prodi fell when he lost his majority in the Senate. Antonio Di Pietro, an opposition member, said Berlusconi, as a pimp, had spent more time with his women to find work that paying attention to the problems of the country. "That's good, that's nice, the other one has big tits," said Di Pietro, doing to Berlusconi.

When the telephone conversation between Berlusconi and Sacca was published on the website of the magazine L'Espresso, a left-oriented response to Berlusconi consisted simply say that for a career in Rai, "you have to be a prostitute or member of the left "The tabloid Free shot right back:" Even Mussolini had his women. We need a prime minister, not a Trappist Monaco "

vulgar manners of the Knight does not seem to have damaged the elections, and women voters are not exactly run away screaming. Berlusconi once described how, during an election campaign, women They treated him like a living relic, "People clung to my jacket, and pregnant women asked me to put my hand on their belly. Others have asked me to put my hands on their eyes, because they did not see well. "

Part 2: 'Technically, almost immortal'
As his power, these statistics wants to make her immortal body. Takes on anti-aging elixir, do not smoke and avoid eating meat. Recently, Berlusconi has even canceled an official meeting with Günther Oettinger, governor of the German state of Baden-Württemberg, because was expected at a spa in Umbria to undergo a full treatment by a famous French herbalist. He paints himself as a workaholic who takes care of everything everywhere. "I'm constantly working and never sleep more than three hours a night," proclaims.
His personal physician, Umberto Scapagnini, Berlusconi has already said that is "technically almost immortal." According Scapagnini, "his body and his mind have already demonstrated superhuman strength. It is genetically unique "

In other words, there is no reason why Mr Berlusconi should not remain in office as president for the rest of his life after the expiry of his current term in 2013. Before then, he has left his stamp on Italy for two decades. The country was reflected in Berlusconi, even when it was in power. Berlusconi has set the agenda and set the language and style of politics. Without him, there would be a system of two sides, nor a middle class that vote as a block or, presumably, not reformist left.
has seen come and go seven opposition leaders. After his resignation in February of Walter Veltroni, who was until recently considered a promising opponent, opposition forces have been very few.
Berlusconi, a billionaire of all non-religious (and divorced), has gained even support of the Vatican. All that was needed were a few well placed statements against the techniques and timing of contraception and assisted suicide.

"The Italians are afflicted by a strange desire to slavery," said recently the former president Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. For lack of an alternative, Ciampi said, tolerate anything, preferring to discuss the rising stars of the prime minister that his budget deficits. For the British political scientist Colin Crouch, Berlusconi's Italy is the first example of a "post-democratic society."
is probably true. Ultimately, democracy has nothing to do with competence, but by consensus. It really is no other European political consensus is a machine more efficient than this outrageous man popular with a lot of facial plastic and permanent smile.
In Germany, Berlusconi's policies are generally perceived as total nonsense. After all, this is the same man who, during a meeting in Trieste, he hid behind a pillar and startled when German Chancellor Angela Merkel came out saying "boo!"
