Repairing Chipped Teeth

The last two laws ad personam era Berlusconi - Marco Travaglio

May 31, 2010

The first concerns the 20 million handed out to broadband. A pocket money in order not to risk the monopoly of Mediaset. The second is the so-called save-Mondadori

The brown tide that floods Italy for 16 years shows no signs of stopping: failed even the latest attempts to block the hole in the Palazzo Chigi, which comes out smelling the sewage pumped from the company PDL, in the last days there were two other puzzolentissime ad personam "laws, the thirty-ninth and fortieth Berlusconi Era. But, confused in the vast dark stain, passed virtually unnoticed by everyone, except for a few specialists who have noticed, however, ignored. The first (in fact, the thirty-ninth), reported yesterday by John Valentine on the Republic, is the pocket money of 20 million bestowed by the government of the three I (Business, Education and the Internet) to young Internet users for development (so to speak) of band large or very large. The Prodi government had allocated 900 million and was mocked by the center because they were too few for the development of broadband or overwhelming need at least 3 billion.

Money thrown into a crisis? No, a strategic investment to overcome the crisis: according to the president Agcom Corrado Calabro, the development of broadband "can increase GDP by 1 .5 to 2 percent," making a flywheel - Valentini explains - "the production, employment, trade, consumption, a the whole economy and particularly to the south. " Pay a box office 100. Why then did the government save on broadband? The development of television over the Internet threatens the monopoly of that over the air, of which Mediaset is almost 50 percent in terms of plays and over 60 in terms of advertising. "At the same time - known Valentini - Italian state waiver to collect more than 3 billion euro, excluding auction competitive among the operators of TLC on the new digital terrestrial frequencies, as it did for example in Germany, to give national and local television broadcasters, including the prime minister, "who" pay a usage fee equal to 1 derisory % of turnover. " Luckily, B. again, about the sacrifices imposed by the operation of 25 billion, that "we are all in this together" (the new yacht Pier Silvio).

The second law ad personam last week (the fortieth in 16 years made by B. and B.) is the save-Mondadori. We had already tried to end the financial year and then with Milleproroghe decree, but had not had time. Now he made in the decree put Incentives 40/2010 (comically titled "Urgent tax and financial law enforcement to tax fraud), the petitioner, Alessandro Pagano of the PDL, which on its website described it as" mini-amnesty ". Mini ass. It provides that, in the case of two favorable reviews in a row, "the tax disputes pending before the Supreme Court can be settled by payment of an amount equal to 5% of the value of the dispute ... and contextual to waive any claim to equitable relief. " What's behind it? Simple. Mondadori, snatched in 1990 by B. De Benedetti bought thanks to a ruling, we have seen by the challenge Revenue and income tax evasion Ilori € 200 million on 1991.

After the first two sets of proceedings, won by Mondadori, the cause lies in the Supreme Court for ten years (the famous short process) and the end of 2009, when the president of tax Enrico Altieri, feared by fraudsters for his rigor, was to decide if the transfer is seen snatch and the sections together. Thus, pending the ruling, came the sneaky: if convicted, the Mondadori publishing house would pay 10 million instead of 200 (unless the Court of Luxembourg does not accept the action for breach of free competition announced by the court in other cases Altieri). All of a decree signed by the Chairman of Republic and those of the Council, the owner (also illegal) of Mondadori. From producer to consumer. Indeed, the end user.
