Italians stage mock Berlusconi announcement regarding nuclear future

During his speech, the false Berlusconi promises that Italians will not be denied an audience-getter like Fukushima with its own, better, Fukushima 2 and that there should be no public vote on the future of nuclear power in Italy.

A referendum to end nuclear in Italy is scheduled June 12 and 13: Video in Italian.
