He’s doing medical analysis to find if he was contaminated too, and he’s now under UK police protection.
He was advisor of parliamentary commission about Mitrokhin scandal (led by Paolo Guzzanti until 4/2006 and disbanded with the old parliament) and he saw Russian former spy Livtinenko before his terrible death.

Questo è un estratto di uno scritto turco (per la precisione una proposta di legge depositata). A scanso di equivoci specifico ancora che non si tratta del ministro ma di un radicale (con altra gente sinistra che approva, mentre il ministro è arrabbiatissimo dopo essersi visto attribuire il progetto da una clamorosa papera).

Qualcuno l’altro ieri si è dimenticato di controllare accuratamente un nome, ed è venuta fuori una prima pagina con i fiocchi.
Un turco radicale si trasforma magicamente in un ministro turco, su un argomento delicatissimo dove i due non vanno propriamente d’amore e d’accordo.
Scuse via telefono, forse fiori in viaggio, urla, e una polemica un po’ più colorita del solito.

(ps: chissà xché ieri è rimasto in rete molto a lungo il numero precedente …:) & )

Il decreto fiscale è stato definitivamente approvato in Senato. Il debolissimo schieramento governativo, rinforzato come al solito da una nutrita e agguerrita pattuglia di senatori a vita, alla fine ce l’ha fatta a far passare la prima dose di tasse con 162 voti favorevoli (senatori eletti 156, senatori a vita 6, determinanti).
Xché hanno votato? Xché secondo uno di loro (Cossiga) l’alternativa è sorbirsi questa (pessima) minestra oppure il caos …

As a little add on, I’ve found this nice and little piece.
Interesting … happy reading

He was Maronite Christian leader and industry minister in Siniora’s Lebanese government. He was shot in Southern Beirut today.

He was one of the most important economists still alive around the world.
His way of working was looking for evidence to support the theory … and correct the theory where it wasn’t supported by evidence.
He thought that a government should limit himself to make rules and leave the market actors free to find a new equilibrium by themselves.
His monetaristic theory (awarded with Nobel prize in economic sciences back in 1976) is now widely applied.

Important people who followed his theories: Margaret Thatcher while successfully restructuring England back in 80s, Ronald Reagan (he was one of his economic advisors). In Italy we should remember Renato Martino, former Minister of Defense and economist.

He thought that euro was an error, and that it wouldn’t survive for a long time.

Hanno ragione Maroni e Tremonti: una Finanziaria camaleonte che cambia di giorno in giorno. Certe spese (certe) sono coperte da coperture provvisorie (tagli al Sud) … Enrico Letta dixit.
Durissimo Tremonti la sera del 14/11: parlava di una legge che il giorno prima dice una cosa, il giorno dopo l’opposto. (more…)
