Berlusconi has resigned! A setback for kleptocracy
Tonight, with Berlusconi's exit, Europe is feeling a little bit safer. His resignation marks a symbolic victory in the struggle against kleptocracy which has so weakened the public finances of countries in southern Europe. Any of his likely successors will be more credile in safeguarding Europe from the prospect of Italy becoming the next Lehmans and taking France and half the banks of Europe down with it.

Europe is finally facing anew chapter after this. I just hope that the coming changes would be for the better of Europe and its people.
I think that berlusconi's exit will not solve the problem in a stable way. the main problem in UE is the lack of a central power elected by citizens. We should work in that direction, pemitting elections for europe parliament's chief.eurozone general crisis was genereted because of this lack of power and as history teaches where a there is a political emptiness it's going to be occupied by something or someone. in this case I' m actually referring to bricks.if Europe doesn't react fast we will need help from other countries and so in that case we would do concessions to them. the road is not an easy one but I think we 'll manage to succeed.
