This may perhaps be explained better than I have explained it by an interview with Mr Cohn-Bendit, which I quote word for word: ‘It is absurd to compare Mr Berlusconi to a dictator: there are no prisons for dissidents, he has the support of the majority, and the centre-left has simply lost’.
La réponse qu’apporte l’interview de M. Cohn-Bendit est peut-être plus adéquate. Il dit, mot pour mot, ceci: «Comparer M. Berlusconi à un dictateur est absurde. Il n’y a pas de prison pour dissidents; il a le soutien de la majorité. Le centre-droit a perdu, tout simplement».
