"As an ex-journalist, I abstained from all the proposals and amendments put to the vote this Wednesday. I wish to thereby express my strong criticism of the use for party political purposes of a debate as fundamental as freedom of the press, a fundamental right which, in essence, should not, under any circumstances, be the subject of political horse-trading and battles between the left-wing and the right-wing! Italy is experiencing attacks on the freedom of the press and this is totally unacceptable. However, have we heard from Bulgarian, Romanian or French journalists as well? Have we examined closely the political or economic interference that exists in other countries in the EU? How can we be sure that politics in our own countries is not interfering in editorial control and content? If we had extended our study with a new report, we could have supported our resolutions so that they hit, in the most appropriate way, their real target: freedom of the press in the European Union! I think that this fundamental right deserves more investment than what has emerged in these texts – texts which have all missed the point."@en1
