"Mr President, Italy is not Qatar and nor is it a South American republic. What is written in this disgraceful report is not true, and the rapporteur could have based it, for instance, on data from an independent institute such as the Osservatorio di Pavia. But the rapporteur preferred to ignore many things: she even ignored what happened to the journalist Hans-Martin Tillach a few steps away from the European Parliament. There is not a word about that.
Neither TG1 nor the Canale 5 news programmes – the television news programmes owned by Mr Berlusconi or those that the rapporteur says are controlled by the Italian Government – are not Al-Jazeera, even though every evening, until a few evenings ago, seeing an elegant leftist woman calling the
guerrillas ‘resistance fighters’ and the attacks on westerners ‘resistance’ might have made you think so. The public and private television system in our country, in which left-wing journalists get fat on hundreds of millions in pay, is not Al-Jazeera, while the far-left dailies – which are always blasting away at the government – take the government’s money. I should like to know whether
in France takes Mr Raffarin’s money. It is like that in Italy.
There is ample freedom of opinion and, as for the persecution of journalists in France for libel, well, she could have included just a word about the Italian courts’ bad habit of persecuting anyone who freely expresses their own opinions. In short, this is a miserable report that is a disgrace to this Parliament!"@en1
