"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, is it in Italy that the head of state threatens, takes legal action at the slightest criticism and becomes personally involved in a court case to kill a political opponent? Is it in Italy that the party in power treats the slightest non-sycophantic information as ‘vileness’, as an ‘absolutely unprecedented campaign of violence’, as a deliberate attempt to ‘trip up’ the Head of State? Is it in Italy that the press is criticised when it spreads the news of affairs like nepotism benefiting the Head of State’s kid? Is it only in Italy that those in power have special links with the executives of the large private television channels and appoint the heads of the public channels? Is it in Italy that we change the law on audiovisual advertising in favour of our friends?
Is it in Italy that a minister is invited onto a major television news programme to confess to having engaged in sex tourism, an act criminally punishable, except in this minister’s case? No, this is in France! It astonishes me that the French socialists, communists and greens in this Chamber do not think it is worth using this debate to denounce the dubious practices of ‘sarkozia’!"@en1
