 Live Music and Studio Interview with two Exiles text and mp3 25mins 128kbps Click Here to Listen Lara and Massimo of Banda Zingara speak about the perilous state of Italy and global social problems - as well as the myriad reasons for craic to be had. A General Election, is due to take place in Italy on April 9th. Their are two possible governments on offer - a continuatiopn of the current right-wing administration led by the Jesus Christ of politics, Silvio Berlusconi, and a broad coalition of the "Left" led by Romano Prodi (5% ahead in opinion polls"). Should Berlusconi lose, he can expect to have rescinded, his self-awarded immunity against prosecution for corruption. Berlusconi has used his media-ownership and influence to obtain geust appearances on all sorts of shows in the run-up to the election, so it ought to be a surprise if the OECD describe the elections as free and fair. Berlusconi recently recruited the services of Bono (the other Jesus Christ) to back his bid for power, but Bono didn't know anything about it and felt used by the whole experience. Berlusconi astounded many in October last year, when he said that he was always against, the war in Iraq, despite having sent 3,000 troops there to help - doublethink writ large. |
