The Palombara: "In Italy the robes in politics. There 's a problem of democracy "

Joseph La Palombara - originally from Abruzzo, culture democrat and professor at Yale - is one of the most respected American political scientists, but since the deal `Ruby won the front pages of U.S. newspapers live with ill-concealed embarrassment the ironies of his colleagues. How

reply, Professor? "With two arguments, which are likely to make me go through what they really are not: a supporter of Silvio Berlusconi."

II first? "The first thing I try to explain to my colleagues that the most critical campaign of Italian newspapers on the sexual prowess of your Prime Minister does nothing but strengthen it." Why

says? "Because I have reason to believe that at least half the Italian electorate` end of envy, and that many consider disproportionate to the scandal. "

The second argument? "It is the serious one, so much is that I also wrote in the newspaper of Yale."

would be? "The state of your judicial system. It is descended from the field before Berlusconi that Italy supports the need to reform the judiciary, but I have the impression that `the Italians do not understand the gravity of the` professional incest between prosecutors and judges. "

In fact, there is also in France.

"True, but I assure you that in France, the magistrates are careful to political campaigns."

That, however, takes place in Italy? "It seems clear that the judiciary is trying for years to put the game out of Silvio Berlusconi, and Berlusconi should be to understand that this is a problem of democracy. "

From you might happen? "Never. When we judge a politically overexpose then hang the gown on a nail. And it does so forever. "

Here, the newspapers are saying women are moving because of Berlusconi interceptions ...

"And this is an` other dimension of the problem for us Americans is unthinkable that information contained in interceptions circulate freely in breach of the confidentiality of investigations. It is clear that reform is necessary. "

What? "At least two. The first, fundamental, it would separate the careers pm and judges. "

And the second? "Review the system of self-government Government of the Judiciary. I believe it `s an Italian judge sentenced to 16 years for abuse of office 'that performs the functions of prosecutor in the case of Amanda Knox. Behold, before we return to practice as a judge should have clarified its own position. " From

political scientist, and excellent knowledge of Italy `,` explains how today's conflict between state powers? "With the famous line by Massimo D` Azeglio.

"We did` s Italy, now we must make Italians "? "That's right, because it is clear that the problem has not yet been resolved. And without a common feeling and a common identity `s country, and therefore can not be the rule. There are only powers, often in conflict with each other. "
