Italian Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu said the real danger in his country came not from the suburbs as in France "but from terrorism organized crime, internal subversion, clandestine immigration and illegality."
However, opposition leader Romano Prodi said earlier that an explosion in Italian suburbs was inevitable.
"We have the worst suburbs in Europe," he said. "We should not think that we are all that different from Paris. It is only a matter of time."

Whenever there trouble its always the cops/military that get the blame. And they wonder why people are leaving the police. They failed to arrest the group that beat the elderly guy to death but man they bounced on the few cops trying to bring law and order. I mean good god, at the very least deal with the riots first, THEN see if there was any police misconduct. And all because they are terrified that they are going to risk upsetting the minorites.
If anyone remember the Brookyln Heights riots, de Villepin is doing a David Dinkins on us here. I sincerely hope he doesnt replace Chirac.

As someone stated previously Socialism is a economic system not a political one. Its has nothing to do with economics, just goverment cowardice and incompetetance. 20 years ago when I was living in we had a mayor named David Dinkins who reacted in exactly the same way. There was a incident where a Hasidic Jew accidently ran over a black teenager with his car. And the Afro-American community rioted because they though it was deliberate. (very similar to what happened here). David Dinkins sit back and did nothing for over 2 days, because he didnt want to crackdown on minorities.
Don't you think that, thesedays, economy shapes how the governments function?
Indeed, it is socialism. Socialist parties all over Europe who care about nothing but their own pockets and popularity.
