Monday, 11 March, 2013 (Saint Leander of Seville). As the Vatican's cardinals join the papal conclave a crowd of centre-right lawmakers protest against Silvio Berlusconi going on trial on charges of paying for sex with an ander-age girl and abusing of his power as PM.
The
plan A was to avoid the trial by sending a fax (a few faxes) stating
that Silvio Berlusconi conjunctivitis-caused sensitivity to light
(or uveitis, to be more precise, see our blog's post on the sunbject by clicking here) doesn't allow the former prime
minister of Italy to attend to the so called Rubygate sex scandal
trial Monday's session.
But it
didn't work out, because of «a Stalinist court that sent Nazi
doctors to examine Berlusconi,», said the Berlusconi's PdL (People
of Liberty) Party exponent's Fabrizio Cicchitto (who - by the way - is a former
Marxist-winger of the Italian Socialist Party; he might even know
something about Stalinism and Nazism, innit?). A "Stalinist court", which is "more dangerous than the Sicilian Mafia", we might say, combining Cicchitto version with Silvio's opinion.

Anyhow.
The plan did not work out, so the staunch supporters of Silvio had to
do something, and they decided to go for a “silent protest”
(even though Silvio himself told them refrain from doing so... but did
he really meant it?).
