Google search engine integrates Google Suggest which, as soon as you enter any keyword, tries to complete your search by providing a list of suggestions with the most “popular” keywords based on the number of hits. Considering how much Mr B cares about his own public image, I think he wouldn’t be happy at all if he discovered such results (however I bet he already knows..). The web search engine for the IT domain shows the following list of suggestions:

While these are the results shown in Google Images, certainly more bizarre:

Apart from the fact that it doesn’t seem to be searching for information about a political figure, some combinations appear paradoxically auto-ironic as nobel / mafia or morto (dead) / crocifisso (crucified) / beato (blessed) or again corna (horns, which in Italian stands for cheating on somebody) / d’addario / noemi , reflecting the different popular topics followed by the Italians on the web. Probably Mr B understimated Internet, too difficult to control, unless some illiberal sneaky law will get soon introduced.. For those who strangely are still wondering why there’s such bad thinking about him, googling a bit would definitely be a way to easily get a sort of an answer..

Today’s sentence gives us back a bit of credibility, demonstrating that our constitution works (at least that one..) regardless of any assumed political “flavour”. A sacred principle has been re-confirmed (or just defended), law is equal for everyone. Unfortunately its actual application still demonstrates various defects (no need for examples here), however this cannot represent a valid reason or an excuse for legislating ad personam.

Art. 3
All citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinion, personal and social conditions. It is the duty of the Republic to remove those obstacles of an economic or social nature which constrain the freedom and equality of citizens, thereby impeding the full development of the human person and the effective participation of all workers in the political, economic and social organisation of the country.

Art. 138
Laws amending the Constitution and other constitutional laws shall be adopted by each House after two successive debates at intervals of not less than three months, and shall be approved by an absolute majority of the members of each House in the second voting. Said laws are submitted to a popular referendum when, within three months of their publication, such request is made by one-fifth of the members of a House or five hundred thousand voters or five Regional Councils. The law submitted to referendum shall not be promulgated if not approved by a majority of valid votes. A referendum shall not be held if the law has been approved in the second voting by each of the Houses by a majority of two-thirds of the members.
