Italia – Video: Saviano da Santoro 25/04/13

Roberto Saviano a Servizio Pubblico di Michele Santoro, puntata del 25 Aprile (Anniversario della Liberazione).

Saviano ha fatto un intervento politico importantissimo. Ha parlato con passione sul Cile ma con l’Italia in mente. Un “No” al passato deve transformarsi in un “Si” al futuro. Questo significa liberazione. Bravissimo!

The new government to be led by Enrico Letta is not in place yet. It hasn’t had the chance to do anything wrong, but criticism and more often polemics are all over the place.

Deutschland – Kommentar: Die Steueraffäre des Uli H.

Alle sind vor dem Gesetz gleich. Dieser demokratische Grundsatz muß auch im Fall Uli Höness (Präsident des FC Bayern Münchens) uneingeschränkt gelten. Dies schliesst die Annahme seiner Unschlud ein, solange das Gegenteil nicht bewiesen ist. Für den Fall, daß ihm strafbare Handlungen nachgewiesen werden können, die zu einer rechtkräftigen Verurteilung führen, muß ihn allerdings die volle Härte des Gesetzes treffen. Es darf keinen Kuhhandel unter Amigos geben (in Bayern nicht unüblich)!

So damit ist auch schon Alles gesagt. Es gibt Wichtigeres in der Welt!
