Schulz V Berlusconi

category international | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday July 03, 2003 16:51author by no dodgy ref's to the SP/SWP wanted here!! Report this post to the editors

BERLIN, July 2 2003 Martin Schulz, German Socialist questioned Silvio Berlusconi’s suitability for his new post.
The German legislator specifically raised Mr. Berlusconi's sponsorship of a new immunity law in Italy at a time when he is on trial in Milan on bribery charges.

"Mr. Schulz," Mr. Berlusconi said in reply, cocking his head to one side and smiling, "I know there is a man in Italy producing a film on the Nazi concentration camps. I would like to suggest you for the role of leader. You would be perfect."

Can someone please shed light on how this man has managed to not only become the Italian Prime Minister but also for some bizarre reason now holds the Rotating Presidency of the European Union?

it was quite shocking. italians saw that gov. almost split Italy, the Paduva league declared independence (they are northern seperatist fascists) it failed.
THere after Burlosckunti changed tactic, rather than split the north from the south he now aims to create a presidential & PM job for himself.
look for andreotti.

if garibaldi had not yesterday all those years ago started his hungerstrike, and convinced the Sardinians to support him, Italy wouldn't have happened.

In relation to the original question about berlusconi, He represents the apex of the modern politician, Big business king and holding all the leashes in the media. This guy is just what the new world order needs, Big business's strong man in europe, like Hitler was in the thirties. How do these people get people to vote for them? Same as bertie and the rest...erode the opposition and lie lie lie, but most important of all....make as many friends as you can with the global corporations cos thats where the real power is.

Not just in the SU elections. The SP also voted along with the loyalists against naming a bursary after murdered Humann Rights Lawyer Pat Finucane. The SP said it would be sectarian to name the bursary after Finucane!

The SP then went on to support naming a bursary after a loyalist who had been killed by the IRA!

If the SP are going to raise the issue of whos aligned politically (as they did on this thread) then rats in their own backyard are also going to be uncovered.

What? as I was saying, berlusconi accused a german politician of looking like a nazi, in what was supposed to be a joke. (this is what we were talking about. I just pointed out he is in power with the ex-fascist national alliance who came from the old fascist MSI. I didn't actually say anything i just pointed out it was a little rich for him to call a german a nazi (just cause he's german) while hes got a mussolini in power with him. I didn't actually say fini was a fascist. hes not in the 1930s sense, at least theres no blackshirts.

As for loyalists being fascists I don't think so, nationalists yes but fascists I don't agree. Depends on how you define fascist i don't like to bandy the word round so much makes you sound like rick out of the young ones.

alright kev.
Really no one is particulary suprised, except of course that he managed to make the biggest eu mess in only two days, a record even for him! But we're kind of used to his mouth by now. not just him too. Bossi (leader of the northern league) has an even bigger one. He once said he wiped his arse with the italian flag, then went to sit in gov. in rome! Since B.s come to power hes changed the law to clear himself of some cases, he's also trying to change the law so the defendent (ie him) can pick and choose areas to be tried and therefore judges. He also re introduced political immunity for politicians (ie himslf). Since hes in power we had naples, genova two general strikes and literally thousands of strikes and factory and school occupations. But he remains popular with some on the right, because they've no other party, althought the christaian democrats are starting to make a comeback. The bourgeois seem to be split on him, the professionals are against him and so are the traditional business such as the agnelis (fiat). They seem to want a less devisive centre left gov.
But the smaller businesses and newer ones are still behind him though they're impatient.
Here in sicily hes still popular though theres more support for the ex fascists as it's traditionally been an msi area, at least eastern sicily anyway.
Anyway in short people found it funny, a little emabarrassing but no one was suprised.

Magneto - instead of just repeating unsubstantiated gossip which is posted here you should really try and find out the facts.
No member of the Socialist Party opposed the naming of the bursary at Queens after Pat Finucane. No member of the Socialist Party voted for the bursary to be named after a dead or living unionist politician. No member of the Socialist Party supported the Territorial Army having a stall at freshers day in Queens.
If you bothered to try and find out what actually happened you would discover that the member of the Socialist Party who has been accused of the above didn't even have the right to vote at the meetings where these decisions were made!
The original posting making these allegations was simply an attempt by republicans to discredit the Socialist Party, none of it based in fact. But of course a muppet like you isn't interested in facts as your aim is just to slander people.
On other threads, other "types" with a similar raison d'etre as Magneto have made many incorrect allegations against the Socialist Party. One concerned the outcome of the FBU dispute. A poster claimed that the Socialist Party argued that the "final" offer in the pay dispute should be accepted. This poster claimed that the Socialist Party at the FBU conference argued for acceptance of the deal. Leaving aside that both the British and Irish Socialist Party papers contained articles which clearly argued against accepting the deal - there were NO Socialist Party members at the FBU conference. Again facts don't seem to matter to Magneto, Durrutti, Curious etc.

Hey Henry, thanks for the update. I pretty much assumed this was just another comedy in the tragedy of Italian politics.

Just one thing, when you say: "As for loyalists being fascists I don't think so, nationalists yes but fascists I don't agree." - I'm assuming that you mean that Loyalists are (british) Nationalists, and not that all Nationalists are all fascists?

Just clarifying it, otherwise we'll have a slew of "SP call catholics fascists" type postings from our anonymous friends. Altho, I would say that the LVF come quite close to being basically fascists - in my view anyway -, as do their friends in C Coy.

Just as a matter of interest, i found this site www.scottishloyalists.com - its quite funny. For example: "The powerful giant Finn Mc Cool was chief of the Irish Royal Army." Now I might be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure there was no monarchy in those days. (If Fionn even existed).

And the classic "Is Gerry Adams Gay?" 'article'.

Shocking new claims that the Sinn Fein President is gay have come to light, a source close to the IRA army council said "during the negotiations concerning decommissioning of some weapons, it was not only our backs that were against the wall, our arses were well and truly covered" . Our new high powered camera has caught a picture that we believe to be the Sinn Fein President, we have been told by Patricia O'Neil of the Army council that Geraldine as he likes to be called can often be seen in the transvestite clubs in London, but on this occasion was caught somewhere close to the Loyalist heartland in what can only be described as a reconnaissance mission. Sinn Fein spokesman and I use the term loosely, Gerry Kelly was unavailable for any comment, but his private secretary A. Shirtlifter said " both Kelly and Adams often argue about what dress to wear, and felt they should be given more allowances from Westminster to aid them in their fight for parity of esteem within their own party". Gerry Adams was also unavailable for comment.

It is a matter of record that a SP member opposed the naming of a bursary after Pat Finucane at QUBSU Executive, he also supported naming a bursary after Edgar Graham,a loyalist who had been killed by the IRA. The same SP member supported the British Army having a recruiting stall at a QUB Open Day. The SU records confirm this.

At the time it was discussed on Indymedia and SP members (on Indy) defended their stance in QUB. They certainly did not deny it had happened.

This yet another attempt by the SP to rewrite history. Stalins Airbrush rules supreme in that party.

The SP at the time defended the actions of the SP in QUBSU. It is laughable that you are now trying to rewrite history.

It is up to the SP to explain why their members both North and South defended these actions. Surely the Northern SP members knew that this event had taken place. To try and deny reality at this stage just brings the SP further into disrepute.

You have made the allegations therefore the onus is on you to prove your claims, if you cannot produce evidence then you should withdraw the accusations.

relly i was just referring to a program i saw a couple of years back about some loyalists (i think they were LVF supporters), and some of them were showing off their White Power (you know the circled cross type thing) and swastika tattoos and saying how Hitler was great or something along those lines. It was quite a while back tho so its not too clear.

I have to say tho that i thought it was fucking hilarious when the Loyalists took down all the Israeli flags when the BNP delegation came over last year. At least i think thats true, I read it on indymedia, so who knows eh? But if certain sections of Loyalism are trying to build links with the BNP then that is scary. (as is Magneto's obsession with us)

Did Mosley even have guns?

(PS in the X-men Magneto always got his comeuppance, mind you was generally back every few month's with a new masterplan)
