This is an important announcement to anybody cares for freedom and democracy.

A great popular demonstration will be held in Rome and in many world capitals against the criminal italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi who's turning Italy into a 'democrature' in spite of any law and for personal interest.

While I definitely do not like Berlusconi, it seems a bit strange to ask for his resignation: I mean he won the democratic elections fair and square and in this system this means that you can govern for x years (I don't know for Italy). I mean everyone in Italy knew very well what they voted for when they voted him. I was equally baffled when the Americans re-elected Bush in 2004, but hey that's democracy right...

Yeah, right democracy... In a normal western country he wouldn't be even major of his town.

Name another country in the world where the richest man who owns a media empire built thanks to corruption candidates himself to avoid being prosecuted and jailed (in 1994 he seriously risked that).
He still controls 5 of the 7 major italian televisions, plus the most important publishing house of Italy (Mondadori) acquired by corrupting judges. (that's been proved in trial).

It's 15 years that every 6 months our parliament needs to pass laws that are tailored to solve his personal judicial problems. Here's a detailed list (in italian). There are 18 of them.

Without those laws he'd be in jail. Crimes have been cancelled from penal code, prescription terms for his crimes have been halved. 
The so called 'short trial' is the final one they're trying to pass these days. It's the mother of every shame.

Of course, in a local democracy we all know personally, or closer to it, what slime the politicans are。It helps keeps the worst from getting to the top like in all our lovely national democracies. I agree Berlusconi is crook, but what else is new? At least he isn't too secretive about it.
