The actual economic situation in Italy

"Rira bien qui rira le dernier"

The actual state of facts in Italy, from an economic standpoit, should certainly be better. From a side, the Monti's government is the best that anyone could hope, from another, besides, the crisis is hard to pass, and if it doesn't depend only from Italy, in this case, we are into the hands of german.
There are encouraging signs, however. Le Monde, yerstarday, headlined: "Il faut aider les soldats Mario", and Handelsblatt the same day said: "Germany should pay more".

This is not the country of "Concordia", as someone should easily say, and it is not even the country of the mafia, but, coincidentally, the Mafia and Concordia are among the words most used, abused and worn out, talking about cruises, conveyors and rights.

Living in Italy, in short, is not like more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Probably we could slid right through this hard recession, but are coming appreciations from all sides, for the Monti's government. All countries seems to be on the same page about it. Is it just a trick? Or the big European heads do not know what to take? Perhaps the truth is that judgments are based too on the consequences on its own country, forgetting the 's "European objective."

About political rather, people are forgetting dangerously political parties. Mario Monti and all the ministers are tremendously serious compared with what we called "political class" before.
There is now talk of cultural roots, of European integration, of "ethical foundation" using the words of the Premier.
There are no more insults but measured words. The look has shifted from the "lower parts" to "relevant questions". Just a note out of place in my opinion: coming from the opposition party, the "Lega Nord", whose leader has ceased to bear patiently the "personal issues" of its potential political partners, betting on the weapons of political blackmail "if you do not topple the government , we will not support your local leaders ".
There is something wrong and definitely improvable in the work of government.
Surely one of these is the increase in taxes on diesel fuel. is well known, these have a recessionary effect far greater than a similar increase in taxes on petrol. Look at this paper for more: link, but let me get on my soapBox for a minute.
Now Italy seems not anymore choosing randomly their decisions, and we are slowly coming out of the abyss. Our tails are starting to drag, and ther is no time to lose. Let's forget the parties political, until the dream will continue.
Have passed only two frickin'months, but this seems to be another country.
