Titolo: "If Berlusconi thinks we are all on a camping holiday, I invite him to do a swap"

Per chi legge l'Inglese.
Silvio Berlusconi has told survivors of the Italian earthquake to lift 
their spirits by heading for the beach. He added that people forced from 
their wrecked homes should look on their tented accommodation as a spot 
of camping.
The Italian Prime Minister's comments have enraged some of those living 
in tent villages, after a second fitful night that was rocked by 
aftershocks from the 6.3-magnitude earthquake, Italy's worst for 30 
years. The death toll rose to 250 yesterday.
Earlier there had been widespread praise for the emergency housing 
operation, mounted by the Civil Protection Department and the Red Cross 
with the aid of volunteers and charities, and Mr Berlusconi won plaudits 
for cancelling a trip to Russia and spending every day since Monday in 
the stricken region, encouraging and commending the rescue workers and 
vowing that "no one will be left alone".
Mr Berlusconi insisted that his remarks had been misunderstood and that 
he was simply trying to encourage optimism. "Go by the seaside. It is 
only an hour away from here by bus and there are plenty of hotels at 
your disposal that are paid for by the State," he said during his daily 
visit to the quake zone in Abruzzo.

The people living tent cities "have everything they need, they have 
medical care, hot food. Of course, their current lodgings are a bit 
temporary. But they should see it like a weekend of camping," he said, 
according to the German N-TV channel. He told one homeless woman to put 
on suncream, drawing cheers from onlookers.
Mr Berlusconi --- who lives in Palazzo Chigi, the Prime Minister's 
residence, rents a frescoed Renaissance palace in Rome and owns a 
mansion in Milan and villas in Sardinia and Bermuda --- insisted that 
there was nothing inappropriate in his remarks.
"I don't think it's out of place," the Prime Minister told reporters. "I 
think children could use a smile, a little bit of optimism and playfulness."
Mr Berlusconi said that he did not want "an atmosphere of pessimism, 
negativity, disease and death" where survivors were being sheltered. As 
many as 10,000 of the 17,000 people made homeless by the earthquake have 
taken his advice and left for the Adriatic resorts or elsewhere. But 
some of those left in the tent camps were appalled by his remarks.
"If Berlusconi thinks we are all on a camping holiday, I invite him to 
do a swap," said Vincenzo Breglia, as he stood outside his tent on a 
sports field on the outskirts of L'Aquila. "He can come here to sleep 
and I will be prime minister. Let's see how he likes spending the night 
in freezing temperatures with no hot water."
Mr Breglia's wife was also offended. "We may look as if we have made 
ourselves at home," she said, as she kept her 12-month-old daughter 
amused with two budgies in a cage left by neighbours who had fled to 
Rome. "And some things are well organised --- there is even a vet in the 
camp for those who brought pet animals with them. But if this is a 
camping holiday, it is an enforced one. We left home with the clothes we 
had to hand, and have not been allowed to go back to get our belongings 
because the house is in a dangerous state. I suspect this will go on for 
months and months. How are we supposed to cope?"
Giancarlo Fischione, a Ministry of Finance employee with a wife and 
three children, said that he did not even have a tent. "We have all been 
sleeping in the family cars since Monday," he said bitterly. "There just 
aren't enough tents and containers." Mr Berlusconi's remarks had left 
him speechless, he said.
At the Aquila San Salvatore regional hospital, where a field hospital 
has been erected to deal with the victims, questions are being asked 
about why a recently built hospital in an earthquake-prone zone was 
unable to withstand the tremors.The A&E department was abandoned 
yesterday. Beds on wheels lay empty. Blankets and used rubber gloves 
were strewn across the floor, which was stained with blood and iodine, 
spilled as staff rushed to move patients out when the shocks rattled the 
supposedly quake-proof building.
One nurse, who was working at the field hospital, set up as an emergency 
alternative beside the car park, said that the scenario was scandalous. 
"We expect a modern hospital in an area like this to be one of the 
secure places," she said. "I was working the night it happened and 
couldn't believe it. Suddenly, bits of concrete started falling down, 
and the walls shook. We were open-mouthed. We thought it was an 
anti-seismic building."
As she spoke, medics dragged bags full of drugs to the tents, while the 
army and the Red Cross transported in-patients to hospitals elsewhere.
The Pope said at his weekly public audience that the relief operations 
were an example of how solidarity could help to overcome "even the most 
painful trials". Addressing the survivors, he said: "As soon as possible 
I hope to visit you." Father Federico Lombardi, a Vatican spokesman, 
said the visit would not be until after the Easter holiday because the 
Pope did not want to interfere with relief operations.The first funerals 
were held yesterday and mass funerals are planned for tomorrow.

Come ho già avuto modo di replicare
il concetto è questo :
di fronte alla tragedia, coloro i quali hanno la possibilità
di sistemarsi in tendopoli temporanee, con assistenza medica,
cibo e tutto ciò di cui possono aver bisogno facciano lo sforzo
in senso positivo di prenderla come una settimana di campeggio.
E' un invito a non drammatizzare oltre.
Indubbiamente è facile fraintendere
ma l'intento penso fosse solo
quello di sdrammatizzare.
A distanza di 48 ore, la possibilità di dormire al coperto,
poter usufruire di una mensa e assistenza medica non
mi sembra poco.
Cosa ci si può aspettare di più ?
Lo stesso Franceschini ha ammesso che gli interventi
sono da elogiare.

Ci si limiti agli interventi.. che son necessari.. le passerelle 
politiche non servono.

 non servono.
Guarda, sono assolutamente convinto del fatto
che spesso e volentieri Silvio, per una sua innata
propensione alla spontaneità, pecchi forse di ingenuità
anche se può sembrare strano.
Lui credo senta assolutamente il peso delle tragedie
ma il suo innato senso di ottimismo talvolta lo rende
facilmente oggetto di critiche talvolta assolutamente
fuori luogo e pretestuose.

 fuori luogo e pretestuose.
Non le sente perché non vive come un uomo normale. Un conto è 
l'ottimismo, un conto è fare il superficiale.

Credo che si possa dire tutto di Silvio ma non certo che sia
superficiale.

 week-end in campeggio" in attesa di ulteriori sistemazioni.
quel fate finta di stare in campeggio.. suona di meschino...

beh...per cadere nella meschinità dovrebbe essere un
sadico, non ti pare ?
Quale motivo avrebbe di prendere per i fondelli migliaia
di pesone che hanno subito una tragedia ?
Dovrebbe essere un folle.

 perso tutto cazzo! 
lascia perdere.
Se Silvio avesse detto che ora hanno tempo di scopare tutto il giorno, 
ora il tizio verrebbe qui a dire che voleva sdrammatizzare, e che 
scopare fa bene alla salute e riduce lo stress

Si, probabilmente lo manderei a fare in culo, ma proprio
perchè non sono emotivamente coivolto in prima persona
ho quel distacco che mi consente una visione non compromessa
dall'emotività del momento. (chiaramente comprensibile)

E allora! Ma non è distaccato chi soffre cazzo! E lì.. sta il buonenso 
di chi non soffre la situazione.. in certi casi è meglio il silenzio e 
un abbraccio forte.. ma le parole sono inutili.

dicasi cerchiobottismo... o tuffo carpiato con triplo avvitamento

Certo, poteva evitarla e sarebbe stato meglio.
Quello che ho sostenuto è solo il fatto che lo abbia
fatto, credo, in assoluta buona fede.
