"If my nanny Ocean dream, dream in Serbo-Croatian. If the dream Poljakov, mother and daughter, who I was staying in Moscow when Giulio De Benedetti resigned from the Press and I took my house, I dream in Russian. If you dream Simone Veil, which was very close to the European parliament, I dream in French. But if my father's dream, a dream in the Venetian dialect. "
Bettiza Enzo uses a metaphor for trust to run a dream which he had never said the journalist finest of Italy, the Central European writer, vote the League. The League's Bossi with the Northern League, Alberto da Giussano, the sword and all. "But it is a myth Pontida imaginary, like the Druids, the Celts and the drinking water of the River Po The League is not a child of the Battle of Legnano, led by the Holy Roman Emperor against the Lombards. On the contrary, down from the League of Lombardy-Veneto Habsburg. The ancestors of Bossi Maria Theresa, Joseph II, the human side of Radetzky. Its antecedent is the proper administration of Austria. "
"I know that the League has long been considered boor and folk. And in part it was, for political necessity, to distance in a dialect and folk from the South, to mark a cultural and anthropological, driven hyperbole, became ethnic differentiation. But we were in their infancy: thieving Rome, secession, separatism. A road used by other regional groups in Europe: Basque, Catalan, Irish, even before the South Tyrolean and the Bavarians, who consider themselves a state within a state, like Texas in the U.S.. It is at this stage rough, romantic and picturesque that the league toyed with rituals invented the zodiac. Now the league is a serious party, solidified. His great strength is the administrative fairness, care of the Rathaus, the Town Hall. I hate the word "territory", brings to mind the Mafia. There are no political parties and regional parties or cosmic. Now the league is setting up in Bologna, penetrates in the Apennines in Tuscany vanguard group reminiscent of the Grand Duchy. It is a national party, built on big issues like immigration and defense of charges of Lombardy, Veneto, Piedmont. No accident that the ministers are duemigliori Maroni, a man of the League, and Tremonti, who is very close to the league. And soon will come also the League of the South. "
Bettiza says not to be frightened by the risk of disintegration of the country. "Italy was used to being divided. A splendid division, which is its size. Ducati, municipalities, even an empire: Venice was Britain in the Mediterranean. If Mantua had not been a capital and we would not have Mantegna Camera degli Sposi, if she'd heard there would be no Ferrara Palazzo dei Diamanti.
"Bossi's charisma, always there for his people, was greatly strengthened after the illness. It has had a somewhat rough 'property and statuary, a mode of speaking which is condensed and cut of his public appearances in a popular icon (icon Bettiza says, with emphasis on the "i" in Greek). Will not the mayor of Milan, because he has no health or the interest to take on the job and the anger of a mayor. The small de Gaulle folksy Po who becomes mayor: no, I do not see. Bossi has a great political insight. He knows where the snitch is and how far it can go. It is not certain that he incites Berlusconi, indeed, when he overdoes his Bossi megalomania and attitude to pull him by the sleeve, to exert a sedative. It is clear that the post-Knight is the League. "
How will Berlusconi? "Berlusconi will last. I do not know if you realize the dream of climbing to the Quirinal elected by the people. But will it last, because there is nobody in the party ready to take over. I do not see early elections: everyone is afraid, many also lose the bonus. I do not see great prospects for even Fini, man of the party left without a party: the PDL will not only because it has another. At the center will not be born "the party of the nation", but a little parties with Catholic Casini, Rutelli and Pisanu, satellite hours of the PDL, future in the league that both contests. And the left? "The true leader, D'Alema, is clouded. Vendola phenomenon is folklore and provincial levels. Bersani I think the last lap. It represents the final stage of communism, Emilia, and, as noted by the Communist old animal Giuliano Ferrara, the PCI never dreamed they would entrust the leadership to northern Italy. Good auditors, cashiers generous, but the leaders of the Communist Party had been born in the Kingdom of Sardinia, or in the great liberal Neapolitan families. The left pays the deadly mistake he had been chasing a great man of the left as Craxi. Berlusconi is the historical nemesis of Craxi. What do they have in common? "Both have grown to many men from their shadows anything that Craxi were fatal. Berlusconi was saved because he had no weapons that Craxi. He marked a historic turning point in an Italy terrified of "Clean Hands", but has impressed for a country with extravagant methods subtly articulated in political terms. His charisma is depoliticized in its style: it is what people like, but it is also its limitation. The elites hate him, the radical-chic saw him as a radical-kitsch, but it is just for the kitsch, for his coté Brianza, Italy that weekend out of town we recognize in him. "
Bettiza has an event in common with Berlusconi, who in December 1996 offered him the leadership of the Newspaper: rejected. Why? "I met Berlusconi in the years to save the newspaper abandoned Cefis and Petrilli. Special Montanelli had worship and a lot of sympathy for me, once on TV told to wear a raincoat copied from mine. As a businessman he was an exceptional dynamism, and individuals with no clear boundaries between saying what is true and not true, as now, when it says it will sell the newspaper, while not even think. When he offered me the direction, the first thing I consulted with Montanelli: We had just made peace after we had talked for thirteen years, I did not want to lose it again. Indro advised me to accept. Berlusconi spoke with a dinner at Arcore. There were Letta, Confalonieri, Massari who was the administrator, and Vergani Biazzi Belpietro, which was supposed to be my co-director or deputy director, to guarantee the folksy side and gnashing: after the undeniable success of the Directorate Felt, was the fear that I I did a newspaper too elitist. I proposed to write the first fund to Montanelli. Letta said yes immediately. Berlusconi was silent, but his instinct led him to accept vendor, also for advertising reasons. All others opposed. "
"The next day we met for lunch with Belpietro by Savini. The exposure my program, beginning with the return of Francesco Damato Fejto and Francis, who had brought Newspaper to the liberal intelligentsia of Paris: Aron, Ionesco, Morin, Furet. Belpietro stopped me, explaining that he would not be my deputy director, but like me, even if not responsible. To me the complaints, the power to him, on behalf of Berlusconi. Of course, I gave up. The Knight telephoned to revive, and really gave a lot of money. But Montanelli Piovene and cofounded the World Journal in the bed of Pannunzio and this time of Chiaromonte. I could never do in a spreadsheet master. "
