lpv:translated text	"Mr President, a long time ago, the well-known Swedish writer August Strindberg said: ‘You have power, I have words, I have words in my power.’ However, this is not the case today for the writers and journalists in Italy who are systematically denied the right to express themselves freely. Over the last three years, 200 journalists have been threatened on account of what they have written. What happens in Italy concerns us all, however. The freedom to speak, write and to have your words published freely is a fundamental right of all 500 million European citizens. What is happening in Italy shows that the freedom of speech is sometimes more dangerous than weapons to a regime that seizes power over the freedom of speech. Today, Parliament has a unique opportunity to bring out and reveal our most positive attributes. Here we are showing that fundamental freedoms are at stake. Italy’s concerns are also our own."@en1
