No one will be disappointedAs the minister for Economic development, Claudio Scajola, resigned in the last weeks after the scandal of his house conveyance (supposed to be bought also with cheques from a real estate enterpreneur, Diego Anemone), Berlusconi is seeking a new man - or woman. And yesterday he tried to 'seduce' Emma Marcegaglia, head of Confidustria, again.
Maybe he tought that the 100th anniversary assembly of Confindustria could be the perfect place for a public investiture. As he was an entepreneur (and, actually, a tycoon, even though bussinesses are in his family's hands), maybe he is convinced that the main representative of industrialists can reinforce his lacking-confidence government.
But, sadly for him, facts proved him wrong. As he asked to the audience to raise hands in favor of Emma Marcegaglia as minister for Economic development, just some of the hundreds of people lifted their hands up. «Do you prefer her in Confindustria? Then you won't be able to accuse the government», was his reaction.
Even more sad were other considerations done during his speech, I think. He added: «In the next three years we will try to do much more, we would appreciate your help: you know the Palazzo Chigi (seat of government) address. The enterpreneurs who will give us their willingness won't be disappointed».
The last questionable assertion was that about the role of the head of the Chamber of Deputies, Gianfranco Fini. In Berlusconi's idea, he «can guarantee that the majority will be united and coherer with the government law proposals and will respect the mandate given by the electorate». As the head of the Chamber of Deputies acts as procedure warranter, how can he assure that the deputies will be loyal with the political line of their party?
p.s.: You just can't find the article «Emma ministro?» Gelo in sala in the today's Chamber of Deputies press review.
