If you have followed my blog for a while you will be aware that I tend to avoid writing about Italian politics. La politica<\/strong> (politics) in Italy has long been dominated by scandal and corruption, but just lately, with the ‘Rubygate’ affair (I hope you’ve been following the news, if not, make a start here: Silvio-Berlusconi-second-under-age-girl-in-bunga-bunga-scanda<\/a> here: berlusconi-will-sex-offender-investigation-finally-do-him-in\/<\/a> and here: Silvio-Berlusconi-has-made-Italians-a-laughing-stock<\/a>), things have sunk to new depths of depravity. I feel therefore that it is time to stand up and be counted. But rather than write about what ‘I’ think, I want to give voice to some of the tens of thousands of unhappy Italian citizens who are expressing their opinions in a petition asking for the immediate resignation of Silvio Berlusconi.
The petition has been organized by Libert\u00e0 e Giustizia<\/strong>, a group of eminent intellectuals whose aim it is to defend the values of democracy, ethics, freedom of information, and justice.
You can find the petition, which at present has more than 80,000 signatures, here: http:\/\/www.libertaegiustizia.it\/<\/a><\/font><\/font> 
I have translated below just a very small selection of the thousands of comments that have been added to the petition so far:<\/font><\/p>\n

Abbiamo raggiunto il fondo. Purtroppo il sig. b. riesce addirittura a scavare oltre il fondo pur di raggiungere i suoi turpi scopi. Stiamo tutti uniti e facciamo in modo di dare la spallata definitiva a questo essere ………<\/strong> <\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
We have reached the bottom. Unfortunately Mr b. is capable of digging beyond the bottom as long as he can achieve his base aims. Let’s all <\/font>stay united so that we can give the final push to this ‘being’ ……<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Silvio, lascia a chi realmente vuole fare qualcosa per l’Italia e non per se stesso. Hai perso l’occasione di un giudizio positivo nella storia d’Italia.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Silvio, leave it to who really wants to do something for Italy and not for himself. You have missed the opportunity to deserve a positive place in Italian history.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Qualche anno fa il mio prof di biologia lo defin\u00ec un Virus…quanto aveva ragione! Lui \u00e8 un virus Italiota ma di quelli peggiori perch\u00e9 alla sua et\u00e0 \u00e8 ancora in grado di "replicarsi"! Berlusco’ te prego liberace!<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A few years ago my biology teacher defined him (Berlusconi)<\/em> as a Virus … how right he was! He is an Italian virus but of the worst type because at his age he is still able to "replicate" himself! Berlusco’ I beg you, free us!<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00c8 difficile far capire ad un giovane l’importanza della cultura in un paese dove si viene considerati pi\u00f9 per l’aspetto fisico che per il proprio cervello.<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
It’s difficult to make a young person understand the importance of culture in a nation in which one is judged more by their physical appearance than for their intelligence.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
INDECENTE! Sono avvilita per mia figlia e per tutte le giovani donne italiane. REAGIAMO!!!<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
INDECENT! I’m mortified for my daughter and all the young Italian women. LET’S REACT!!!<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
La smetta di sfasciare le istituzioni e la societ\u00e0 italiana, gi\u00e0 fragili di per s\u00e9 stesse. Non le \u00e8 bastato arricchirsi facendo scempio del paese dal punto di vista culturale e sociale, contrabbandando modelli subculturali in un’asta infinita al ribasso con le sue televisioni?<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Stop wrecking Italian institutions and society, already fragile in themselves. Wasn’t it enough to get rich by tearing the country to pieces from the cultural and social point of view, by smuggling sub cultural models in an endless ‘low bid auction’ with your television programs?<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Basta, \u00e8 una vergogna! Siamo lo zimbello del mondo, ma tanto non si dimetter\u00e0 spontaneamente perch\u00e9 non ha dignit\u00e0.<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Enough, it’s shameful! We are the laughing stock of the world, anyhow he won’t spontaneously resign because he has no dignity. <\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Siamo stufi presidente Berlusconi, ora si deve dimettere per il bene del nostro paese che grazie a lei sta andando a rotoli.<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
We are fed up president Berlusconi, now you must resign for the good of our country that, thanks to you, is falling to pieces.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Firmo perch\u00e9 considero il silenzio sinonimo di complicit\u00e0.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

I’m signing because I consider silence synonymous with complicity.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Deve andarsene per il bene dell’Italia e con lui tutti i suoi lacch\u00e8! Ognuno di noi si assuma le proprie responsabilit\u00e0 e protesti in ogni luogo ed in ogni modo.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

He has to clear off for the good of Italy, and with him all his lackeys! Every one of us should  take responsibility and protest everyway and in every way.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Se di fronte a tutto ci\u00f2 un paese non reagisce, non si indigna, a niente serve parlare, a niente di niente.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Ebbene s\u00ec, ci sono riusciti, a forza di lavaggi del cervello mediatici, di abbassamento del livello di cultura (vedi isole di famosi e grandi fratelli), di dis-informazione pilotata, di menzogne, di dosi di volgarit\u00e0 e scandali politico-sessuali, ci sono riusciti, hanno instillato nell\u2019anima degli italiani il veleno della falsit\u00e0 e dell\u2019indifferenza a piccole dosi che li ha resi immuni a qualsiasi evento, anche il pi\u00f9 sconcertante ed inaccettabile come questo\u2026. che vergogna povera Italia!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

If, in the face of all this, a nation doesn’t react, doesn’t feel indignant, it’s useless talking, completely useless. <\/p>\n

But yes, they have managed, by means of brain washing through the media, by lowering the cultural level (see ‘Island of the Famous’ and ‘Big Brother’), by guided dis-information, by lies, by doses of vulgarity and political sex scandals, they’ve managed to instill in small doses  the poison of falsity and indifference into the souls of the Italian people, which has made them immune to any event, even the most disconcerting and unacceptable, such as the present one … what a shame poor Italy!<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

I sondaggi lo danno stabile nelle intenzioni di voto. Se \u00e8 vero ce lo meritiamo\u2026\u2026e dimostra quanto degrado morale e stupidit\u00e0 ci siano nel nostro paese. Che tristezza!!<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The surveys of voters intentions<\/font> give him stability . If it’s true we deserve him……and it shows the moral degradation and stupidity that exist in our country. How sad!!<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Se ne vada! Siamo stanchi di lei e dei suoi leccapiedi. Siete la vergogna ed il disonore dell\u2019Italia! I milioni di italiani morti, in guerra ed in pace, per la libert\u00e0 di questo Paese, per aver portato alto il nome dell\u2019Italia nel mondo, non meritano di vedere infangata la loro memoria da un essere cos\u00ec.<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Go away! We are tired of you and your bootlickers. You are the shame and the dishonor of Italy! The millions of Italians who have died in war and peace for the freedom of this country and in order to raise high the reputation of Italy in the world’s eyes, don’t deserve to see their names covered in mud by a ‘being’ like this.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Non vedo l\u2019ora che questo ometto libidinoso e miliardario vizioso liberi noi tutti della sua presenza ingombrante. Non se ne pu\u00f2 pi\u00f9!<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I can’t wait until this libidinous little dissolute billionaire man frees all of us from his clumsy presence. One can’t stand it any more!<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Non si trovano neanche le parole per esprimere il disgusto che si prova. Spero di potermi al pi\u00f9 presto risentire in uno stato democratico.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

One can’t even find the words to express the disgust that one feels. I hope that <\/font>as soon as possible <\/font>I’ll feel that I’m living in a democratic state again.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Vivo in Italia e sono stufa di dovermi quasi vergognare di essere ITALIANA cosa di cui sono orgogliosa.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

I live in Italy and I’m fed up with having to almost be ashamed to be ITALIAN, something that I’m proud of.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Se se ne va stappo lo champagne che ho in cantina dal 94…<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
