Every day Berlusconi is picking a fight with someone. Alas, he is starting to lose his lucidity. I don't know how he can think to govern Italy in this fashion.

This is a result of historic proportions.

We have irresponsible people in the government, people who shouldn't be part of it. Berlusconi is to blame, because he brought these people into the government.

Berlusconi is a man fighting against the whole country. I don't know how he can govern Italy in this way, and in fact I think he won't be governing it any more.

We had a radical clash over policy programs, a pact now would be incomprehensible for the citizens. There can be no coup de theatre, no rabbit pulled out of a hat.

When you win one on this day, they become special ones and they get a special place in the barn. We've been blessed with some good ones.
