We in the Radical delegation, together with Marco Pannella, are voting against the Lehne report on the immunity of Mr D’Alema because it reaches illogical conclusions that can only derive from grounds
or reflexes
based on self-defence on the part of the Italian and European political class.
The report argues that the request for authorisation to proceed is unfounded because the intercepted material is already sufficient to support the charges against those under investigation. If the request by the public prosecutor’s office were in fact directed towards charging Mr D’Alema, then the request would be unfounded, since Parliament does not have to take its decisions in accordance with Italian law.
If the intercepted material is truly useless, however, and the request unfounded and downright unnecessary, then why should the European Parliament have to decide ‘not to authorise the use of the telephone interceptions in question and not to waive the immunity of Massimo D'Alema’, as the report proposes? Why should we not follow the decision by the Italian Parliament, which in the context of this inquiry granted authorisation to proceed against Mr Fassino?
We willingly give credit to the ALDE Group for deciding, by choosing to abstain, not to align itself with the social unity of the Group of the European People’s Party and the Socialist Group in the European Parliament on this dubious decision."@en1
