Protest against Berlusconi
Many thousands of Italians have been taking part in a protest in Rome against the government of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. The demonstrators, called out by the opposition, accused him of changing laws for his own benefit.
The protest organisers also called for employment, education and health to be at the centre of campaigning for this month’s regional elections.
A recent opinion poll showed only low levels of support for Mr Berlusconi. His People of Freedom party has seen its preparations for the regional elections on 28 and 29 March marred by problems over electoral lists. Italy’s top administrative court, the State Council, refused on Saturday to reinstate the ruling coalition’s candidates for the Lazio region, which includes Rome.
The government had passed an emergency decree to ensure its list was included, despite a People of Freedom official missing a deadline to submit the required documents to local electoral officials.
Mr Berlusconi has said the list was excluded as an attempt to damage his party, and that he only acts in the interests of Italian democracy.

I Completely understand what your position in this topic is. Though I might disagree on several of the smaller aspects, I suppose you did a remarkable job outlining it. Definitely beats having to research it on my own. Many thanks.
