Italy + election result

Italy IMC | 15.04.2008 09:31

The Italian general election which has seen the right regain power also has other consequences.

At the same time that Silvio Burlusconi has returned to be our Prime Minister with the help of the near Facist Northen League under Umberto Bossi we have seen the complete collapse of the Green/Communist alliance vote with their representation having fallen to zero parliment seats

The decision by the radical left parties and Communist Refoundation of Faust Bertinotti (CR), the smaller Democratic Communist Party of Italy, and the Green Party – to enter Prodi’s L’Unione coalition of small centre parties and the large ex-Stalinist Democrats of the Left who have strong ties to the largest trade union in Italy, CGIL, has been nothing short of a disaster.

The message for anybody on the Italian Left is obvious, the democratic process can not be trusted with the future of Italy and Europe, now is the time for workers to rise up and take control of Europe, no more elections, no more democracy.

People power is the way forward !
