Review: Unfortunately, I strongly disagree with what you write. It is definitely not true that Mr Berlusconi worked on one-off measures. There have been a number of quite important reforms. Mr Prodi is a weak politician, an old ex-Christian Democrat (he was the No. 1 of old IRI, the Italian Government-owned conglomerate); he pretends to be a modern leader. He is held hostage by the two communist parties of his coalition. It is strange that you do not mention how unfortunate it is that, in 2006, in Italy we have a coalition including not one, but two communist parties, a sad, non-democratic relic of history.

Review: Dear Director, I'm a 32-year-old Italian and represent the 50% of my population that think Mr.Prodi is politically dumb to drive Italy in a right economic way. I'm really scared, and I think he upset 50% of Italy about this situation. Italy doesn't need more taxes. Italy doesn't need an old idea of center statalism. Italy needs more flexibility and opportunity to compete in Europe and in the World Economy. I'm an enterpreneur of ICT solutions, and belive me, I'm tasting just now some opportunity for my business. But now with Mr.Prodi probably all the opportunities come again to "soliti ignoti" (like Totò). Thanks for the opportunity to listen these words. A 50% Italian
