New Sexgate/Soap opera: Ruby and Berlusconi

A new soap opera distracts the Italian people from the real problems of the country.

Star in a new Sexgate is the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

The beautiful woman who accuses the rogue president is Ruby, a young Moroccan who claimed to have attended private parties in the Berlusconi's private residence, in Arcore. Other personalities who have participated in these celebrations of dubious taste are the showman Lele Mora and journalist Emilio Fede, both friends of Berlusconi.



Some details:
Ruby said she had received 30,000 Euros for sexual services in those parties.
At the time she was a minor.
The prosecutor is investigating about the incident. The girl's statements should be evaluated.
The day of questioning the president Berlusconi called in person at the police station demanding the release of the girl. This fact has created considerable disagreement in the Italian political world, even by the allied forces to the Prime Minister.
Ruby said in his confessions of Bunga Bunga, a sort of sexual ritual that Gheddafi, President of Libya, taught to Berlusconi. The girl also showed earrings, necklaces and necklace that she received as a gift from Berlusconi.

The Big Show for Sarah Scazzi

For many months the Italian television talking about a criminal case that leaves many doubts. It is the Big Show for Sarah Scazzi.

Sarah was a young girl disappears at the end of August in his little town in the south of Italy, Avetrana.
From the outset the case attracts media attention. Almost everyday the television news will analyze the case, with more insistence.

The hypothesis that Sarah was abducted or ran away is discarded when, in October 7th, the uncle Michele Misseri claims to be the murderer. Then also the cousin Sabrina Misseri will be accused as accomplices.

In recent months the cameras have never gone away from the family of Sarah. The mother, uncles, cousins were constantly under the eye of Big Brother (the mother of Sarah discovered the death of daughter in TV). In Avetrana a crowd of onlookers visited the place where the body of Sarah was found.
All this only helps to increase the television audience and offend the memory of the young Sarah.




Let us reflect what we can read on an article by Paolo Franceschetti.
In Italy 1000 people disappear each year. Why the media have given so much attention to Sarah when she was simply disapper?

Naples and 'Monnezza' emergency 2008: what was there before Terzigno

Naples is the most important town in southern Italy, the third largest city.

Already famous in all the world was the 'monnezza' problem, during 2008.
Thousand kilogrammes of urban trash were dumped in the street for months, also during the hottest time of the year.

Frequent uprisings set fire to the bin to remove the stench it gave off. The presence of dioxin arrived at the highest levels.






The Italian government announced the resolution of the problem several months before all the trash was actually removed from all streets. Link 1 (with videos), Link 2 (with pictures).
In fact many areas have accumulated garbage for years. It is not only urban garbage: Naples is a land of collection of toxic trash coming from all the country.




The trash in the streets of this city and the suburbs are not just urban waste.
MONNEZZA = uban waste + toxic meterials (industrial waste products, electrical appliances...)

Before the emergency the separate collection of rubbish was inexistent. Even today the percentages are very low. The disposing of trash don't work. It is just amass in landfill.

The Italian government announced the construction of an incinerator in Acerra. Until now the incinerator has never worked at full capacity.



The trash in Naples is not used in the incinerator. It is not recycled. It continues to be piled up in landfills.
Landfills built on the territory? They are not up to standard.



In September-October 2010 there's a new emergency for the Campania streets.



From here begins Terzigno's riots.
