"Berlusconi said 'I was not appointed by Parliament but by the people', he had already made a prediction. So now one will be able to say 'I am elected by the people'. It is clear that the figure of the President of the Republic is being diminished, just as that of Parliament is being diminished. There is no longer a balance of power. It is clear that the destruction exists, it is evident."
Romano Prodi said this at the presentation of the book "Capocracy" by Michele Ainis, in Rome, speaking about the premiership.
