Comments from another world

How the world knows well us… Read now on the BBC News about italian government crisi, a comment of a Buenos Aires’s reader:
The beauty of Italy is that life goes on, despite their anachronistic, difficult to understand politics – it is like a parallel universe, a game with its objectives and a life of its own. Politics is an art practiced in Italy for its own sake, democracy a way of getting into power and staying there, but quite unconnected with people’s everyday aspirations, wishes and problems. Of these, the important ones are solved by taking matters into their own hands.
