They call themselves "The Purple Crowd"...no political parties, no social distinction, no prejudice of any kind, just a common color and goal: Mr Berlusconi's resignation.
Italy finally seems to start reacting to its Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in a huge street Protest on December 5th 2009, to show everyone that Italian People is not dead. They're not blind nor deaf, least of all mute. If political parties from each side are too lazy, corrupted or unhopeful to still dream about a younger, more honest and right Country, people hasn't given up yet, and decided to finally raise their voice on it.
It didn't matter if the official numbers kept changing during the day and a million people magically became ninety thousand of people for the Police Headquarters. It didn't matter if any live broadcasting was denied to any channel but RaiNews24, an online and satellite channel(not as much visible as the rest of the commons public and private channels). It didn't matter if Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi tried once again to minimize people intervention on the political subject. Saturday December 5th about a million people joined together, in the streets of Rome, the Italian Capital, from every political side and part of the Country to finally say "I'M HERE. I EXIST. I'M ITALIAN AND SILVIO BERLUSCONI IS NOT MY PRESIDENT". To finally say "STOP" to corruption, mafia, lies and the ignorance Mr.Berlusconi is making off of Italy. To say "STOP" to Mr.Berlusconi attempt to change the Italian Constitution according to his plans and needs. To say "STOP" to the joke Italy has become in the last years in front of the rest of Europe and the World. Because it's anti-democratical, anti-constitutional and WRONG. Because it's time for Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to resign and be put on trial for what he's been investigated on. Because a Country is made by People and not the mere personal toy of a single person. These were the concept many voices screamed, said, sang, danced on Saturday December 5th in both Rome and other european cities, to show that Mr.Berlusconi can control the majority of Medias, but he can't control People.
