"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today’s debate really is incredible, because in Italy freedom of information is a guaranteed and recognised constitutional right. Others before me have provided information on the number and the political bias of the newspapers published in Italy. For the benefit of the non-Italian Members, I will take the liberty of doing a press review. These are some of the independent newspapers that I bought yesterday at the airport: this is a communist newspaper; this is a newspaper founded by Antonio Gramsci, of the Democratic Party-Democratic Party of the Left; and this is the newspaper of the Margherita party, which has joined the Democratic Party. Then, the Democratic Party also has a D’Alema-Letta faction, which has its own newspaper . Then there is the Refoundation Party, which has its own newspaper . Last year Refoundation split, and the breakaway party founded its own newspaper . Lastly, there is the political subject of this debate: Do you know to whom this newspaper refers? It refers to Mr Di Pietro’s party, which is the driving force behind this debate today. This is a party that is asserting in this House that there is no freedom of information, when it founded a newspaper ten days ago in Italy. To conclude, Madam President, it is as though I were here telling you that in Italy there is famine and hunger, when last weekend, I was in my country at the sausage festival eating roast meat and drinking wine. This is the paradox of a left that owns so many newspapers but has no readers or votes. It will have to come up with more serious arguments if it wants to win them back."@en1
