Italy’s election: When cynics rule
Keywords:
A sense of indifference towards mainstream parties in Italy and enthusiasm for the maverick party of Beppe Grillo. Gillo appeals to younger voters who are looking for something that makes a break from the past in Italian politics.
The collapse of Italy's leading candidate for prime minister in April 2013- Pier Luigi Bersani
12/10/2012
Bersani's PD party leads with about 35% of the vote in polls before elections on Feb 24-25, 2013. A coalition government with centrist parties led by Mario Monti, whose support ranges from 10-14% is one of the possible scenarios. Austerity measures taken by the Monti government in 2012 have adversely affected its support. The business community in Italy and the EU countries support Monti, because of his credibility with financial markets and the need to keep Italy's borrowing costs low.

The Five Star Movement of Beppe Grillo in Italy
10/01/2012
Italy's new movement which is anti-euro has seen public support go up from 4% in 2011 to 20% in 2012 in opinion polls. This party formed around Grillo's anti-establishment views and corrupt politicians won the election in Parma with little funding. Part of the popularity comes from the austerity measures taken by prime minister Monti, whom he calls "rigor Monti." Grillo supports environmental issues and describes himself as moderately liberal, at the same time he tightly controls this movement. He says his movement is similar to the movement in France of Marie Le Pen which opposes austerity measures and membership in the eurozone.

Berlusconi's legacy: The cavaliere and the cavallo
Economist 06/11/2011
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
