"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, please allow me a moment.
This is what would happen in Italy if a law tabled and approved last week in the Italian Senate, the ‘draft law on wiretapping’, were also to be approved in the Chamber.
This decree-law more or less bans journalists, bloggers – everyone – from publishing wiretaps. This is clearly unconstitutional, and is also against the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights which states, in Article 11, that everyone has the right to freedom of expression, as well as to receive and impart information.
I would like to use a single example to focus the attention of the European institutions, because this really is an incredible form of censorship. I would like to use an example that is striking, evident and real. My father was a journalist killed by the Mafia and over the last seven years the true circumstances surrounding that Mafia murder have come to light through wiretaps. Through wiretaps, we were able to discover that he died because a fugitive was hiding in the area where we lived. I therefore call the attention of the European institutions to this matter."@en1
