Project Text
Italy's Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, right-wing politician Matteo Salvini decided recently to name Milan's main airport, Malpensa, after Italy's former prime minister, late Silvio Berlusconi. Besides being convicted of tax fraud, false accounting and embezzlement (and tried many other times), and having been linked to mafias throughout his career, outside Italy Berlusconi probably was best known for scandals involving sex and prostitution with the name "bunga bunga" referring to a "dance ritual" that the female guests were allegedly asked to perform at the parties organized at Berlusconi's residence.
Indeed, when the renaming of the airport became public, some foreign papers promptly included "bunga bunga" in their relative headlines, which further fueled the angry reactions to the naming. Many people reminded how other Italian airports are named after notable persons such as Leonardo da Vinci and Marco Polo, and Palermo airport in Sicily has been named after Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, two Italian judges murdered by mafia in 1992.
In the past days some Italian newspapers have also reported that Berlusconi's family wouldn't even have been informed about the naming in beforehand.
On Monday, July 15th, some Italian political parties and activist groups organized a protest in front of the administrative offices of Lombardy region, the president of which is currently a right wing politician from the same party as Mr Salvini.
