Since we stopped watching TV we cherrypick programs on the web, and DeutscheWelle is one of our favorite websites, both for its German and English broadcasts. Today a special feature on the Allensbach report tries to sketch contemporary Germany. Germany is changing, even if slowly, says the report.
It’s healthy to see that TV and mobile phones are never mentioned. I guess they would be the first thing mentioned if the report had been done in Italy. Germans consider their politicians selfish. But social justice, dignity are the biggest issue on the table. This means that eventually politicians will be judged on this point, and not on what they say on TV.
Today and tomorrow regional elections in Italy. We will see if Italy is changing, even if slowly. Or if it runs to stand still.
