November 2, 2007 (LPAC)--Giulio Tremonti repeated his anti-globalization show yesterday. This time, he was the guest speaker at the most left-radical TV show, run on Raidue by a host who is a notorious jacobin, Michele Santoro.

Santoro was evidently impressed by Tremonti's recent outings at "Porta a Porta" and decided to have him as the main speaker on the issue of the mounting social crisis in Italy as a result of increasing home, food and fuel prices.

Tremonti challenged the other studio guest, the head of the Adam Smith Society, calling him a "mercantile capitalist" and at one point saying: "You do not care about peoples' lives, oh yes, you are an economist". Tremonti repeated his attack on globalization, free trade and the current system bailout. He came very close to saying that we are headed towards a crash, and said that "only when we all come back to reason will a solution be found."

At the end, the host asked whether Tremonti's statements did not sound more "socialist" than the current center-left government. This is a major change, as the left has always considered him as an enemy and for instance sabotaged his Action Plan for Growth (Tremonti plan) in 2001. Tremonti said: "I do not know whether it is leftwing or rightwing, but I have a proposal on mortgages," and repeated his idea of offering a tax relief to banks in exchange for freezing mortgages rates.
