Each country has its own unique challenges. Both the speed of the reversal and the audaciousness of the attempted market squeeze speak volumes. Apparently the instigators thought they could get away with it.

As for Italy, don’t forget that Italy was pretty much the only country in Europe which ever seriously tried to crack down on corruption in politics.

We didn't. It was a CIA job to throw out all the politicians they didn't like. The judges were on their payroll. After "mani pulite" we didn't have politicians, only puppets. And too many times non elected governments with people like Mario Draghi as prime minister. After WWII we have been under the American rule, but after Mani pulite we have become 100% US slaves.

Not surprising but I didn’t know. Do you have any links with additional information?

It happened long ago and I never keep the links. I know my country quite well so I can understand when things are plausible and find the ins and outs. But I never keep the documents, it makes me sad to remember.

I went away for good because it's quite horrible to see your country crumble.
