European elections: Berlusconi's grotesque female candidates policy

Writing in the Spanish daily La Vanguardia Lluís Foix criticises Italian President Silvio Berlusconi's idea of filling the lists of candidates for the European Parliament elections with pretty women: "Silvio Berlusconi's attitude is grotesque. He is 'frivolising' the European elections by proposing to put pretty women on the lists, good-looking women who through their participation in TV competitions and other trivial television shows are familiar to voters. This is a plan that does not serve the cause of supporting the dignity of women who don't need the help of Berlusconi's fantasies to take active part in every segment of society."
