Pier Luigi Bersani, the leader of the Democratic party (the main centre-left Italian Party) who stands for Prime minister in next general election, has probably been shaken by the lightnings that could ground the new F-35 joint Strike Fighter, the most sophisticated and expensive combat aircraft (the risk of explosion was so high that all test flying within 25 miles of thunderstorms is “not permitted” until a device in the fuel tank which maintains correct oxygen levels is redesigned) that Italy is buying (in times of crisis) paying an exorbitant price (more than 80 million dollars each, we should buy 90 of them). Yesterday in an interview Mr Bersani said: “We must absolutely reconsider, talking about our military expenses, our commitment to buy new F-35. Our priority are not  combat aircrafts. Our priority is work.”. After saying last week that his party is not going to introduce a new tax on large properties, he finally said in this electoral campaign something  that sound Leftist!

Il leader del PD Pier Luigi Bersani, forse è stato scosso dai fulmini che rischiano di abbattere i caccia F-35, i più moderni, sofisticati e costosi aerei da combattimento che a quanto pare potrebbero persino esplodere se volassero a meno di 45 Km da un temporale e che l’Italia si è impegnata ad acquistare (in tempi di crisi) per una cifra esorbitante (dovrebbero essere 90 esemplari al modico prezzo di circa 80 milioni di dollari l’uno).  Ieri sera ha detto: “Bisogna assolutamente rivedere, nell’ambito delle spese militari, i nostri impegni sugli F-35. La nostra priorità non sono i caccia. La nostra priorità è il lavoro.” . Dopo aver affermato, la scorsa settimana, che la sua coalizione non introdurrà una tassa sui grandi patrimoni, finalmente il candidato premier del PD ha detto qualcosa di sinistra! (Coraggio, si può fare di più)
