Berlusconi plans rejected by overwhelming majority
In the quartet of referendums in Italy on Sunday and Monday voters said "Yes" with a result of 95 per cent. Italians voted for public water and against the increase of price of tariffs and have rejected nuclear power and immunity to Berlusconi.
Berlusconi's government is the big looser of the consultation process against the expression of people’s will that expressed their vote by large majorities. However, he seems to be inclined to try to hold on the power for some more time. Even if fifty-seven percent of voters went to the ballots - which means, the first time in 15 years that a referendum reaches the necessary quorum of 50 percent – the Italian prime minister is devaluating the binding result.
Although the clear growing dissatisfaction with Berlusconi, new elections are not expected for the next instants, but it is quite unlikely that he manages to hold the discontent feelings until 2013. Newspapers are now speaking about the lively Italian Spring, like it is happening in Arab world.
The era of Prime Minister Berlusconi seems to be coming to an end. For almost 20 years, the capitalist entrepreneur has dominated Italian politics, but now the generality of population doesn’t trust in him anymore, and evidently doesn’t want the same kind of policies and his undemocratic and distorted leading method.
