Premetto che del buon Berlusca non mi frega nulla. Mi diverto però a leggere le prese di posizione a senso unico (ogni mondo è paese). Faccio una dedica ai tribuni della $inistra, direttamente da Der Spiegel, a proposiuto di Nazarbayev: "For a tyrant, however, Kazakhstan’s ruler has some unusual advocates: former German and Austrian Chancellors Gerhard Schröder and Alfred Gusenbauer, and former British and Italian Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Romano Prodi, as well as former Polish President Aleksander Kwaniewski and former German Interior Minister Otto Schily. All of them are members of social democratic parties in their countries. Gusenbauer, Kwaniewski and Prodi serve officially as members of Nazarbayev’s “International Advisory Board.” They meet several times annually, most recently in the Kazakh capital Astana two weeks ago, and are each paid annual fees in the seven figures. According to the British press, former British Prime Minister Blair, also an advisor, receives an annual salary of up to €9 million ($11.7 million). Schröder, for his part, denies being a member of the advisory board. Nevertheless, he sometimes has face-to-face meetings with the autocratic ruler from the Central Asian steppes, and praises Kazakhstan as an “internationally recognized, open country.” In November 2012, Schröder congratulated the Kazakhs on being named the host of Expo 2017, which he characterized as the “next step towards modernization.”
