Only the Radical Party has, since the beginning of the 1960s, placed the fight against abuse of truth and information, at every legal and political level of large-scale non-violent campaigns and successful referendum initiatives.
Silvio Berlusconi and his enterprises are certainly responsible for choosing, since the 1990s, to turn his media empire of humble origins into an instrument not unlike RAI TV to boost his declining political career. His attempt only succeeded in part and his greatest media representatives ‘moderate’ and support large demonstrations, both electoral and non-electoral, of his political enemies.
This is typical of the Italian situation, of this ‘Italian case’. Silvio Berlusconi is someone who, if anything, continues rather than opposing or reforming, as he promised to do in his electoral campaign.
As a result, the Radical Members abstained in the vote that ‘deplores...a situation is continuing in which media power is concentrated in the hands of the Prime Minister’ of the Italian Republic.
I am afraid that we may well now be facing savage power struggles which could go ‘to the death’, struggles within systems which are not only political but economic and, quite literally, criminal too."@en1
