Politicians and Judicial Clamor
Some politicians have reacted with clamor,
while others have quietly accepted the judicial process.
For example, Bassolino (PD), former mayor and former governor, was brought to
trial 19 times and acquitted 19 times, without making a fuss (and the same goes
for many others). But many years have passed, and although he was acquitted 19
times, he stepped away from politics (as did many others). In practice, few
people are aware of these acquittals, while everyone remembers the accusations.
Berlusconi, on the other hand (like Renzi and many others), made a great deal of
noise and never left politics (regardless of political judgment).
The point is that the timelines of politics and justice are very different:
those who follow the pace of justice lose the race of politics.
