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. Most comments concentrate on the past rather than the present situation. And that’s the whole problem. There is no point in repeating over and over again that party A, B, C etc. promised one thing before the elections and now does the complete opposite. Why? Because the general elections of 24./25.02.2013 produced a result that is dramatically different from what had been envisaged at the time.

Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)

Obituary (08/04/2013) – Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister, passed away (age 87). She was the first and since then the only woman to lead government and the longest-serving head of cabinet since Winston Churchill, two outstanding achievements in themselves. But she truly changed her country, for the better or the worse remains open to question.
