Former Liguria governor Giovanni
Toti, who is waiting to see if a judge upholds his two year
graft plea bargain commuted to 1,500 hours of community service,
said Saturday the real enemy of politics was not the judiciary
but politics itself.
"The real enemy of politics is not the judiciary, but politics
itself, which has built the cage in which it has enclosed
itself. In order to try to change this policy, I have done what
I could and I have paid for it in person," said the one-time
Mediaset journalist and former dauphin of Silvio Berlusconi.
"If the subdued grumbling, or worse, the half-mouthed smile of
those who hope to take the place of the person under
investigation at any given time, is not replaced by the courage
to change, then, come on the next one, as a well-known song
says, I'll leave him my place."
