This is not tax evasion, bribery, money, even with a 17-year-old girl brought Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of pay. On Tuesday, the rapid growth of the debt crisis in Europe claimed that Berlusconi, Italy in the past 17 years, resulting in 11 of its latest victims. He vowed to shepherd through Congress the country's economic austerity program, and create at least some of Europe's fourth largest economy in the short-term relief after the resignation.

It is not like in Greece or in other neighboring countries, the economic recession we all know, Italy is too big to fail, they can not be rescued or released on bail in other European countries, they need their own , or else the euro zone big problem. "
In the last Berlusconism delivery: In 2006, he quipped: "My Jesus I am a political victim of the patient ... I sacrifice for everyone."
